What type of boat should I rent in Zadar?

The type of boat you should for your Zadar boat rental will depend on the sort of holiday you want. If you only plan to sail for a few days, we’d recommend a daily rental, such as a motorboat or a RIB. However, if you’re after a longer holiday of a week or more, we’d recommend a more spacious and comfortable vessel such as a catamaran or a yacht. These vessels are ideal for family holidays or a trip with a group of friends, and they come fully equipped with all of the necessary accommodations onboard, such as a kitchen, bathroom and cabins. For a more traditional sailing experience, we’d recommend a sailboat rental however, you should always choose one with a skipper since these vessels can be tricky to navigate.

Skippered boat rental in Zadar

At Click&Boat, you have the option to rent a boat with or without a skipper in Zadar, Croatia. Even if you have a valid sailing licence, we always recommend opting for a skippered vessel to enhance your experience on the water. Skippers are nautical professionals that will dock, anchor and sail the vessel for you so that you don’t have to worry about anything but enjoying your holiday to the fullest extent. If you have a sailing licence and want to take on the challenge of navigating the vessel, do not worry! A skipper can simply serve as an extra set of hands in an emergency. But perhaps the best part about having a skipper present is that they are locals of the area and can take you to see everything on your sailing itinerary and more. They will show you all of the most sought-after sights and some hidden gems you might not have known about otherwise.
