Experience Croatia stress-free sailing vacation with a skipper at your side! Skippers possess years of experience on the water and are adept at managing all aspects of sailing the boat safely and responsibly.
Your captain can suggest secluded anchorages and suggest routes that explore Croatia’s unique history and culture, while you will need to provide food for him/her.
Experience
An experienced skipper can bring peace of mind on a yacht charter Croatia, especially if you are new to sailing. He or she can provide local knowledge, provide navigation guidance, and ensure safety for you and your crew – leaving more time for developing sailing skills or simply taking in stunning Adriatic Sea landscapes.
Catamarans make for the ideal boat to explore Croatia’s coastline with spacious social areas and private cabins for maximum comfort and privacy. Plus they can reach secluded coves that monohull yachts cannot.
Croatia offers thrilling adventure activities like jet skiing, scuba diving, fishing and kayaking; visit Plitvice Lakes National Park for breathtaking waterfall views or take an early boarding option for an additional charge so you can start sightseeing as soon as you board.

Safety
Professional skippers have extensive knowledge of local conditions and will take into account any influences such as changing weather conditions when planning the best route based on your preferences.
Your skipper will provide a safe and comfortable yacht for you to sail on, providing advice about where you can visit interesting sights along your sailing route as well as which restaurants or taverns should be visited along the way.
Croatian custom dictates tipping your skipper 10-20% of the charter price if you were pleased with his/her service, so keep this in mind when creating your vacation budget. In addition, it is your duty to ensure they have food and drinks aboard their yacht – guests often invite their skipper along for lunches and dinners in restaurants on shore; although this is not mandatory but offers him/her the opportunity to relax on deck while enjoying both views from above and the delicious meal prepared just for him/her!
Knowledge
Skippers are highly knowledgeable of their region’s quirks, making sure that your trip goes off smoothly and enjoyablely. They can provide valuable advice regarding which itinerary is the most beneficial, what areas should be avoided, optimal times to visit different attractions and more.
Experienced crew know the yacht’s capabilities well and how best to use it, providing guidance if you wish to try something new or rebuild confidence behind the helm.
Catamarans tend to travel faster than sailing boats and cover greater distances each day, though their spacious dimensions make berthing in smaller marinas challenging, particularly at night when moving onto another overnight spot.
If you charter a catamaran with skipper, a deposit may be requested at check-in to cover any costs related to negligence or mismanagement of the vessel by its skipper. Normally this deposit will be returned upon departure as long as there hasn’t been damage or loss.
Fun
Hiring an expert captain allows you to relax and enjoy your sailing holiday with confidence, whether you are new or experienced yachtsman. Your skipper is fully responsible for safety while offering expert tips to improve your skillset and expand knowledge about sailing.
