Skippers in Croatia are experts who know their charter region like no one else – this is their profession after all! They can recommend activities and dining spots that best suit the guest and can suggest activities tailored to that activity or dining options that suit those dining options too.
Locations
Croatia is an idyllic Mediterranean dream come true, boasting sandy beaches and lush national parks for relaxation. Island hop along its rocky coastline or visit historic cities such as Dubrovnik, Split and Hvar to discover their rich histories before checking out one of Croatia’s many bars or clubs to experience its legendary nightlife – this Mediterranean gem promises not to disappoint!
A crewed yacht charter in Croatia promises an indulgent and luxurious cruising adventure, complete with expert guidance. Enjoy exploring Croatia’s scenic coast while being taken care of by your own personal crew of experts and all-inclusive luxury. If you don’t meet the requirements to charter a bareboat yacht directly in Croatia, flotilla sailing may still offer enjoyable sailing adventures as you will sail alongside other boats while being guided by a flagship and hostess who will offer advice and point out recreational spots along your route.
Boats
Croatia offers yacht charter enthusiasts idyllic sandy beaches, lush national parks and delicious Mediterranean cuisine – not to mention an impressive designer shopping scene and vibrant nightlife scene in its main cities.
Croatia Yacht Chartering can offer an array of boats for rent, from bareboat sailboats and catamarans to luxury crewed yachts. Mooring buoys (estimated between 30-40 euros for monohulls and 40-50 euros for cats*) offer affordable private mooring solutions while marinas feature more amenities including restaurants, cafes, showers & toilets.
Bareboat charters provide those with experience sailing the freedom to discover popular destinations at their own pace, or you could join a flotilla where there will be an experienced skipper, technician and hostess aboard to advise on harbour manoeuvres and anchorage.
Skippers
For solo sailing in Croatia, an ICC license or RYA Day Skipper certificate are essential, along with one crew member holding VHF certification and VHF licenses for bigger catamaran boats. For safety purposes it may also be wise to attain additional qualifications.
Skippers from Adriatic coast are friendly people, fully aware of local weather conditions. They know all the best restaurants, towns and cultural highlights you should stop at along your route. Hiring one typically costs between 150-200 EUR per day depending on yacht size plus food/drink costs for them as well.
Your skipper will meet you at the marina upon embarkation and remain by your side throughout your entire sailing holiday in Croatia, providing advice on which islands are worth visiting, managing mooring and anchoring operations as well as overseeing safety concerns on board. They are also on hand to help improve your sailing skills if required – in peak season this service is often included as part of the yacht rental price.
Insurance
Croatia is one of the premier charter destinations, boasting an ancient culture. Its breathtaking coasts, turquoise waters, and medieval towns all play host to visitors year after year.
To charter a yacht in Croatia, a skipper licence or International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is necessary. Either you can obtain one in your home country, or take an exam at the boat’s charter office.
The International Certificate of Competence is valid in all European countries and widely recognized worldwide, though policies vary by country and operator – it’s best to check with them beforehand that they accept your ICC before booking any boat trips with them.
Bareboat yacht charters offer an ideal way to discover Croatia’s coastline on an itinerary tailored specifically for you. Enjoy island hopping, cove diving and stunning landscapes all within one week of sailing Croatia’s coastline! For optimal sailing conditions in Croatia between May to June or September to October the weather should remain mild.
