Most people start a charter by asking about boats. That makes sense – you need the right catamaran, sailboat or motor yacht. But what usually decides whether a week feels calm and easy is everything around the yacht: the skipper you trust, the route you follow, how check-in goes, and the small pieces of help when something unexpected happens.
This page pulls all of our services into one place so you can see clearly what you get when you book through SkipperCity. From skipper and crew options to route planning, transfers, provisioning and small “we’ve got you” moments during the week, it links out to the main product pillars – Yacht Charter Croatia, Destinations, Itineraries and Our Fleet – but always from the practical skipper point of view.
SkipperCity is a specialised yacht charter agency with a skipper mindset. We do not own the boats; instead we work with proven fleets in Croatia and beyond and stay on your side of the table as we help you choose between them. Our services fall into a few simple groups:
You can choose only the basics or build a more complete package. Either way, you keep one main contact before, during and after your trip.
Every crew is different, so we treat the question of “who sails the boat?” as the starting point. We offer three main setups and sometimes a hybrid combination.
Not sure which setup fits you? We often start with a short call or email exchange, then send you a small set of concrete options instead of endless lists.
Good routes rarely come from drawing straight lines between famous names. They come from matching your crew with the right mix of harbours, bays and distances. This is where we use our local skipper experience most directly.
When you tell us who you are travelling with, we typically propose one or two calm routes around central Dalmatia: Split, Trogir and the islands of Brač, Hvar, Vis, and beyond towards Korčula or the Kornati National Park. You will also find inspiration in our dedicated itinerary guides, but the final plan is always tuned to your actual dates and crew.
We keep your plan flexible: a main idea for the week, with room for extra swim stops or a second night in a place you love.
On many yachts you can add extra crew members to change the feel of your week completely:
We always clarify exactly what is included in each crew role and how gratuities usually work in Croatia so there are no surprises on board.
Arriving calm at the marina sets the tone for the whole week. We help you join the dots between airport, marina and first night on board.
For more detail on specific marinas and bases, our Marinas section goes deeper location by location.
Food and small experiences shape how the week feels hour by hour. Depending on your destination and boat, we can help with:
We keep recommendations honest and based on real skipper experience, not just online lists.
Because we work with many repeating guests, we have learned that what works for a family with small children is very different from what a group of experienced sailors or a company team needs. Our services flex to fit:
The more you tell us about your crew at the enquiry stage, the easier it is for us to make the week feel designed rather than generic.
Big booking platforms are good at showing thousands of boats quickly. The trade-off is that you often end up alone with a long list, trying to guess which options are worth your money. Our service is deliberately smaller and more human.
For you this means less time scrolling and more confidence that the week you imagine is actually realistic.
You start by sending a simple enquiry form or email – dates, crew size, preferred boat type and rough idea of your route. We reply with a small selection of real options pulled from our booking systems and experience, not every possible yacht in Croatia.
You tell us what you like and what feels too much. We adjust route ideas, bases and boat size and answer all the small questions about cabins, layouts and marinas.
Once you choose, we place an option with the charter company, send you a clear contract and payment schedule, and outline what exactly is included and what is payable on arrival.
Before the trip you receive a practical pack: base details, suggested packing list, check-in times, transfer suggestions and a draft route you can share with your crew.
During the charter we stay reachable for route tweaks, marina suggestions or small questions. If weather changes or you want a different pace, we help you re-balance the week around destinations like Brač, Hvar and Vis.
We always ask for honest feedback on the boat, base and crew. This feeds directly into how we recommend yachts to future guests – and to you if you come back for another route.
Our commission is included in the charter price you see – you do not pay extra for agency support. We work to keep prices in line with or better than big online platforms while adding the skipper-level guidance on top.
Before you confirm any booking, you see clearly:
We prefer questions early rather than surprises later. If anything on a quote or contract is unclear, you ask – we explain.
Our core is Croatia – places like Split, Trogir, Zadar and Dubrovnik. In some seasons we also help regular guests with routes in nearby countries through trusted partners. If you have another area in mind, simply ask and we will tell you honestly whether we can help well or not.
Sometimes guests send us links to yachts they have seen on big platforms. If those boats are available through our partner fleets, we can often take over the booking and add our service on top at the same price. If not, we will still happily suggest comparable alternatives from our side.
Mechanical issues, weather changes or simple human mistakes can happen on any trip. When they do, you are not alone with a generic phone number – you have both the charter company’s technical support and our agency contact following the situation. Our role is to help keep communication clear and to help you find the most reasonable solution on the water.
The easiest way is to send a short note from the contact page or via any enquiry form in the Yacht Charter Croatia section. Tell us your dates, crew size and any must-see places. We will reply with a calm, honest shortlist instead of a flood of links.
