Skippers are qualified professionals who provide navigation and safety, so that you can relax and enjoy your cruise in comfort. Their rates may differ depending on several factors.
Your skipper will join you upon embarkation and remain by your side throughout your charter, overseeing every aspect of your sailing vacation and suggesting which islands should be visited.
It’s a stress-free way to cruise
When chartering a catamaran with skipper, your captain will accompany you on embarkation and stay by your side throughout your voyage, taking care of all navigational aspects onboard while assuring everyone’s safety – giving you more time to admire Croatia’s breathtaking Adriatic coast and charming seaside towns.
Catamarans are renowned for their stability, making them perfect for sailing in the sometimes turbulent waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Skippers often boast years, even decades, of experience sailing Croatian charter boats, so they know its waters intimately and can suggest idyllic anchorages. Their local knowledge will help restore your confidence at the helm and enhance your sailing experience; but keep in mind that food and beverage expenses for your skipper must also be factored into your budget plan.
