Experience an exclusive sailing journey and let a professional captain lead your sailing expedition from island to island. This option is great for those without yachting licenses looking to develop their sailing skills or improve on them as you go.
Relax and explore sky-blue Croatia at your own pace, taking time to appreciate this European gem’s diversity in culture, history and cuisine.
Experience
Croatia is renowned for its stunning marine culture and idyllic waters, making it a yachting mecca. From thousand islands to sandy beaches, national parks and coastal towns with historic significance; each experience offered here creates something new. But to fully experience everything this charming European gem has to offer it’s essential that a professional skipper be present during any charter yacht voyage.
Sailing Croatia’s coast with an experienced skipper allows travelers to enjoy its beauty without being burdened with navigational tasks on their own. Skippers possess years of sailing experience and can lead guests along idyllic anchorages as well as restaurants and attractions for sightseeing. Furthermore, they can help aspiring sailors gain confidence onboard by providing guidance that strengthens their abilities onboard.
Skipper Croatia makes renting a boat easier by providing an experienced captain who will remain aboard throughout your voyage, to make sure nautical rules are observed and that you reach your destination on schedule and safely. These skippers typically speak English, Italian and German so can easily communicate with both yourself and fellow crew members to ensure everyone understands what’s expected from them onboard.
Skippers provide invaluable knowledge of their respective regions and are invaluable when it comes to logistical paperwork and guidance for new sailors. In addition, they are familiar with weather patterns that might impede your trip and can offer safe alternatives that get you there as efficiently as possible.
Cost of hiring a skipper varies based on duration and type of yacht that you rent in Croatia, so it is essential that you carefully consider all associated costs before making your final decision. Also it is wise to book early as boats often become available during peak season between July-August. NCP & Mare can assist with booking your boat and coordinating with its skipper to create an unforgettable cruise in Croatia!
Safety
Skipper Croatia can ensure your holiday is both relaxing and safe, with experienced local skippers familiar with most vessel types being on hand to help with any queries or issues that may arise during your voyage. That way, all you need to worry about is enjoying yourself without navigational stress!
Local skippers possess an expert understanding of Croatia’s coastline and can advise you on where to visit for maximum enjoyment. They will know of top restaurants and taverns, beautiful beaches, hidden bays that remain off the tourist radar, as well as suitable anchorage spots that offer wind protection with seabed suitable for anchoring.
A skipper will ensure all safety equipment on board is working as intended and up-to-date, such as life jackets, fire extinguishers and flares. They can also advise which safety items are necessary for children so as to guarantee a pleasant voyage aboard their yacht.
At Sea Ray Yacht Rentals we recognize the necessity of hiring a skipper as both an added safety measure and legal requirement for certain sizes of bareboat rentals. Without an appropriate license to pilot the vessel on their own, hiring one is necessary for safety purposes and legal compliance.
Booking your boat with a skipper at least a week in advance can help ensure early booking discounts and save money, plus give yourself enough time to plan for and become familiar with the yacht before your cruise begins. Furthermore, purchasing travel insurance provides protection in case anything unexpected comes up during your voyage.
Comfort
An experienced skipper can assist in planning the perfect itinerary for your yacht holiday. He or she will provide advice about where you should visit according to your personal tastes, from sailing secluded coves where crystal-clear waters allow swimming, or visiting unspoiled beaches with traditional Croatian dishes like octopus salad and squid ink risotto.
Skippers know all the best places to visit depending on weather conditions. Depending on what adventure you seek, skippers know where the ideal destinations are located. From exploring picturesque islands and historical towns during Croatia’s high season when days are long and seas calm to opting for skippered boat rental in months just outside peak season when crowds will be less numerous and temperatures more comfortable, skippers know just where the ideal locations for exploration lie.
Hiring a skipper means leaving all navigational aspects to them so you can simply enjoy your cruise and unwind. Your skipper will take into account any needs or requirements you have and ensure a safe, pleasant journey on board – offering advice about restaurants or attractions along the way for an enhanced trip experience. They can even suggest restaurants or spots worth seeing so your cruise becomes truly customized!
Your skipper can recommend beautiful, remote anchorages where you can spend the night, away from the bustle and chaos of larger cities along the coast. That way, you will get to experience both nature’s breathtaking beauty and charming towns along the Adriatic – something larger cities often fail to offer.
Experienced skippers in Croatia have developed an extensive network of contacts in all major ports and islands, which means that they can offer attractive discounts in restaurants and party locations, saving you money during your sailing holiday. Furthermore, they can help purchase food and drinks at discounted rates before the start of your sailing holiday.
If you lack confidence in your sailing abilities, renting a yacht with skipper could be the ideal solution for you. By using this service during a bareboat yacht charter in Croatia, you don’t need to worry about safety; your skipper will oversee everyone on board and handle any emergencies that arise while sailing; in case an incident occurs during your cruise he will immediately inform coast guard and emergency services of what has occurred.
Local knowledge
Skippers are invaluable guides when it comes to sailing holidays in Croatia, knowing all the hidden corners of Dalmatian coastline and taking you to secluded bays for swimming, snorkelling or diving. In addition, they know where and what sights there are worth seeing; some even can transport visitors directly.
Hiring a skipper may also be necessary if you lack experience handling a sailboat. With their years of experience and familiarity with various boat types, skippers are experts at ensuring a safe voyage and keeping up-to-date on maritime regulations and can suggest beautiful secluded anchorages that avoid tourist areas along the Croatian coast.
Skipper Croatia can handle all navigational aspects of your cruise so that you can focus on enjoying it with family or friends. No license needed or insecure about sailing skills? Chartering with skipper Croatia offers stress-free holidays.
