Wonderful Way to Meet New People and Have an Amazing Time

In case you are a solo traveler, couple or a smaller group, and want to have a wonderful sailing experience, but are not able to afford a whole boat charter, cabin charter is a great and accessible option for you!

Cabin yacht charter works in three ways – you can book an entire cabin for yourselves, share a cabin with someone or take a single – use cabin at a higher rate. It all depends on your personal preferences. On most boats, a private bathroom is also offered within the cabin.

As the skipper is navigating the vessel, sailing experience on your behalf is not required! Take into consideration, as the skipper is always on board, not all cabin charters are fully – crewed. There is not always a hostess or chef on board, so check out your options in advance. We would most definitely recommend to you a fully – crewed cabin charter. This way, there is no need to worry about groceries or cooking when on board. The crew will prepare everything for you!

What about your itinerary while sailing? Since you already have crew on board, routes and activities are mostly organised in advance for you. Of course, depending on current weather conditions, unexpected events or participants’ preferences, routes and activities can be adjusted accordingly. Depending on the route, you will spend three to five hours sailing between locations. This will give you more than enough time to sunbathe, read, enjoy the scenery and relax in any other way you prefer. At night, you are usually anchored at sea, which allows you to enjoy remote bays and beaches, or in the marinas.

What is included in price?

Cabin charter packages usually include the following:

● organization of route and activities
● seven or more days sailing trip with half or full board service and drinks
● welcome pack consisted mostly of bed sheets and towels, dinghy, outboard engine and fuel, free Wi – Fi, final cleaning, etc.
● crew – skipper, hostess and/or chef
● fuel
● port fees
● tourist tax

Please take into consideration that most land activities or additional sightseeing might require additional payment. Depending on your package, the skipper can also sometimes be your personal tour guide, as he/she lives locally and is familiar with the region!

Practical Sailing information

+ Safety measures

Safety first. And the best way to make it safe is to get all the potential fear out of the way.

Show your kids the boat, let them talk to the skipper about the rules while sailing and while you are anchored, take them to the cabins, show them the interesting way of flushing the toilet, etc.

Teach them where to sit – they should be on the bow during sailing only accompanied by an adult. They should also learn how to lower themselves into the sea with the help of a ladder.

Living on a boat is essentially fun for them!

The boat you are renting should also have a safety net along the deck. Every child must have a life vest of appropriate size. They must try it on and wear it during sailing until you and them get comfortable with being on a boat.

Remind your kids to drink water more than other days!

+ Use lotions with high protection factors

As for any type of summer vacation, the sun is your biggest frenemy. Use waterproof lotions with high protection factors and ensure physical protection from the sun.

+ Clothes & packing list

Documents and essentials

As in real life, you have to have personal documents always beside you. We recommend you bring your health insurance card with you – just in case. Also, bring cash. Not all places accept credit cards. You are responsible for the documents and money you bring to keep them safe.

Clothes

Even though it is summer, there is always a possibility that the nights and winds are cold. So be prepared.

Check the weather forecast and pack clothes for sunny and cold days: bathing suits, summer dresses, shorts, t-shirts and don’t forget to bring something warmer or waterproof.

Shoes are also very important! During the days you will probably be barefoot but in case of rain bring some non-slippery shoes. Or if you want to blend in – buy so-called boat shoes or some sports shoes that are made for easier moving on the deck.

Water-resistant bags

Water-resistant bags are life saviors for your electronic devices. Bring those with you so your phone and camera can sleep safely.

Hygiene and health concerns

Bring along ecologically acceptable items for personal hygiene. Always keep in mind the sea and environment protection.

Also, sometimes you have to bring your own beach towels. You can always ask us and we will check with the charter of your boat.

On your sailboat there is already a first aid kit, but if you want you can take a small one with you. Also, if any family member has prescription medicines, take them with you.

Take something with you for seasickness, mosquito protection, and insect bites.

+ What kind of boat to choose?

The type of boat that is best suited for the upcoming trip depends of course on the personal wishes and expectations of the guests.

The offer in Croatia includes the following options from which you can choose: sailboats, motorboats, catamarans and gulets.

Sailboats are one of the most popular ways to explore the seas. They are not only ideal for family holidays but also for active sports trips. However, to steer a sailboat you will need sufficient experience and knowledge.

Motorboats or yachts are not only very practical and comfortable but also convince by their speed. Their price and their fuel consumption are often higher.

If you are looking for more space and stability in addition to comfortable comfort, you should consider a catamaran. This type of boat offers generous space both in the saloon and in the cabins. A further advantage is the close anchoring possibility on the shore.

For guests who long for absolute relaxation without having to worry about the boat, a gulet is ideal. This variant includes a crew that will take care of all your needs.

What should one have in mind when making a decision:

  • The number of people
  • Do you need shared or single cabins?
  • How much space and comfort will be offered?
  • Budget
+ How much does it cost to rent a boat in Croatia?

It could be from 80 eur per day in the low season up to 500 eur and more per day in the high season depending on boat type.

The rental price depends on the type of boat, period of the year, whether you need a crew or bareboat and boat size.

If you’re renting a motorboat in Croatia the price can vary from 80 eur/day for a smaller boat up to 500 eur per day for a bigger boat.

Renting a catamaran in Croatia can vary from 300 eur per day and goes up to 900 eur and more for crewed bigger and more luxurious catamarans.

If you are looking to renting a sailing boat in Croatia it will cost from 160 eur per day for a smaller sailing boat and up to 700 eur per day for a crewed sailing boat.
Luxury yacht rentals in Croatia start from 2.500 eur per day but can also go up to 20.000 eur per day.
