Why Choose a Catamaran Charter in Croatia?

FAQs About Catamaran Charters in Croatia

Do I need a license to rent a catamaran?
Only if you’re chartering bareboat. Otherwise, hire a skipper and enjoy the ride.

What’s the difference between a catamaran and a sailboat?
Catamarans have two hulls, offering more stability, space, and shallow draft. Monohulls heel and sail faster, but with less comfort.

Can I add a hostess or cook?
Yes — many of our catamarans can include a full crew or partial crew for a luxury upgrade.

Are catamarans more expensive than monohulls?
Typically, yes — but the comfort and amenities often make it worthwhile, especially for groups.

Is Wi-Fi included?
Yes, most catamarans offer Wi-Fi. Check individual listings.
