Experience
Your skipper takes care of the navigational aspects of your boat charter, leaving you free to enjoy all the comforts associated with yachting. Savor the beautiful scenery along your journey and stop off at any of Croatia’s many marinas to berth your sailboat, catamaran or motor boat for safekeeping.
Dependent upon your food preferences, your skipper can recommend nearby eateries along the journey. Furthermore, they have extensive knowledge of Croatia’s weather conditions and will be able to advise accordingly.
If you are new to sailing, your skipper will be more than willing to teach you, sharing tips from their extensive experience on the sea and providing invaluable training from his or her decades of sailing expertise. This is an ideal chance for you to expand your sailing abilities and become an expert sailor! They also understand local maritime law so won’t allow any violations on board which ensures both their own and passenger safety as well as giving an unforgettable boating holiday in Croatia.
Safety
Croatia has quickly emerged as one of the premier yachting destinations on the global travel scene due to its stunning coastline dotted with world-class cities and idyllic islands, along with unbeatable cuisine and beautiful waters.
Skilled skippers possess an unparalleled knowledge of Croatian waters and navigation. Their expertism makes them excellent tour guides and local experts, as they can recommend the best spots for various charter regions, mooring locations, dining options or teaching new sailing techniques or helping their passengers regain confidence at the helm.
Professional Skippers understand their primary role is to put you and your crew’s safety first, and make sure that no maritime or local laws are broken during your charter trip. Working for up to eight hours daily means you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself onboard your charter – as well as discovering hidden gems which might otherwise escape tourist radar.
Flexibility
Sailing Croatia with a skipper allows you to explore itineraries at your own pace. Your skipper knows every inch of his/her area of sailing, from best restaurants and towns to unique spots and hotspots; they will advise on which destination best meets your individual needs.
Skippers with years of sailing experience on the Adriatic have an in-depth knowledge of weather patterns and can adjust your itinerary as necessary, to provide you with an enjoyable sailing experience.
Skippers’ fees depend on their skills and experience, with fees typically costing 150-300 euros per day plus accommodation on board. It is common for guests to invite their skipper for lunch or dinner on shore – although this is not required – while it is customary to tip your skipper if he provides exceptional service; your skipper will truly appreciate it!
