Practical Sailing information
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
