WHAT IS A CHARTER?
A yacht charter refers to the rental or hire of yacht/boat for a specified time at a specified location. There are 2 types of charter: BAREBOAT and SKIPPERED. In Croatia, the hire of yachts and catamarans traditionally starts on a Saturday and finishes on a Saturday.
BAREBOAT CHARTER refers to charter with at least 1 qualified crew member with a valid skipper’s licence and experience and skill. They are responsible for safety, rules, and regulations. You have the freedom and privacy to do as you please.
SKIPPERED CHARTER If you do not have a licenced crew member, you can organise a qualified skipper with your Charter Company at the time of booking. Unless otherwise stated, the cost of a skipper is an additional cost, starting from €150 per day approximately (excluding food, drinks, and tips).
The skipper generally has local knowledge of the area so they can suggest to best beaches and places to anchor. An experienced skipper allows you to switch off and enjoy your sailing journey carefree.
