Who should choose skippered yacht charter
The skippered boat can be chosen by a family or group of friends who would like to leave all the responsibility to a skipper. Skipper's or sailing license is not obligatory.
Sailing skills are not necessary but those who would like to participate in daily sailing can simply learn from skipper. Sometimes we even have advanced skipper requests for regattas so even the experienced crews sometimes choose someone who will be master of the boat in the purpose of having more pleasure in a chartered term.

Skipper have the local knowledge of the sailing area, so you will have the advantage of having some kind of "guide" on board.

Skipper on board:
Our skippers are professional, experienced with skippering boats in Croatia, Greece, Italy ...They are all Croatians but also speak a few languages, ages between 25-50 and registered for skippered charter. Some of them have long experience, starting as a kid in sailing clubs in Croatia and choosing skipper job as a life profession. Skippers responsibility is to do check in/out of technical part of the boat, advise the crew about route, moorings and weather conditions. Sometimes skipper cannot provide the route that you imagined because of the weather conditions but in favor of your and boat's safety. We will make every effort to ensure matching the right skipper with the right group. That is why we have the "skipper request form" that you will be asked to fill out, so we can match the skipper with your preferences.

You are welcome to have your own idea about the sailing route and discuss it with the skipper. If kids are on board the skipper will adjust the route and maybe make routes shorter.

Necessary documents - skippered boat and safety deposit
As skipper will have valid sailing license and VHF license, your crew just need to have a passport or ID.

Safety deposit: All boats are insured and even with skipper on a board safety deposit must be left in a case that damage is done because of the crew's fault (for example broken window or door).

Refundable deposit: Charged by credit card (preferred) or in cash. After returning the boat and technical check out with skipper, the deposit amount will be unblocked (returned to the client). Safety deposit is for the part that insurance does not cover, for example, lost dinghy, or broken window. If the damage is smaller than safety deposit we will unblock your card anyway and charge the amount of real cost. If it is skipper's fault than skipper's insurance covers damage and your deposit will be returned fully.

All damages should be reported immediately to support number.
