What are the extra expenses when chartering a yacht?

Paying the for the vessel is only one part of the overall price for a yacht charter in Croatia. Most of the time the cost of fuel is not included in the price and some vessels such as motorboats use a lot of fuel, so it is an important factor to consider. You also have to think about whether or not you want to add insurance to your booking in case of bad weather or necessary cancellation as well as any possible damages to the boat. Of course, the other things to consider are food, water and money for docking the vessel.

What is the best time to rent a boat in Croatia?

The best time to seek a boat rental in Croatia is between May and September when you’ll have warm temperatures and little to no precipitation. For the hottest weather, you should visit in July when you’ll have highs of 27°C. However, be aware that the prices of yacht charters at this time will be very high, since it is the high season, and crowds will also be quite dense. To avoid larger crowds and save some money, we recommend visiting at the tail ends of the high tourist season, such as in May or September.

However, if you have little sailing experience, we suggest visiting in the summer when the westerly breeze, the Bora, blows strongly enough to move your vessel but also remains calm enough to allow you to relax, swim and have a unique holiday. During the balmy summer nights, you can even sleep on the terrace instead of in the cabins and enjoy the breeze and the view!

If you’re lucky, they might even show you a few things about navigating the water and let you take the helm!

What type of boat is best for a Croatia yacht charter?

Are you having trouble deciding which type of yacht to charter in Croatia? First, you should think about the length of time you plan to spend on board. If you only want to sail for a few days, we recommend a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB, which will go fast and allow you to see everything you want in no time. If you plan to spend a longer time on the water, we recommend a luxury yacht charter in Croatia such as a yacht or a catamaran. These spacious vessels can be rented by the week and include all of the amenities you’ll need for a pleasant stay. Avid sailors might be keen on chartering a sailboat, which will certainly give you an authentic sailing experience, but they aren’t recommended if you get seasick easily!
