Hvar also proves popular as a sailing vacation spot that boasts many perks and amenities for sailors as they set sail towards this iconic location.
Hvar offers an abundance of sailing boats, gulets (traditional wooden yachts), and catamarans available for bareboat rentals. You may choose between renting with or without a skipper depending on your experience level; most owners require proof of boating license to rent their vessels.
Hired Skipper If you are new to sailing, hiring a skipper for at least a week or more will ensure a safer and more enjoyable cruising adventure. A skipper can suggest exciting routes while helping create an itinerary tailored specifically to you and your journey.
Catamarans are ideal yachts for discovering Hvar’s hidden coves and stunning beaches. Thanks to their shallow draft, these vessels can get close to shore so you can swim or simply lounge on one.
Once docked in Hvar, take a short taxi ride to any one of its many restaurants; or conversely your skipper may arrange lunch or dinner at a local eatery at an additional cost – this must be prearranged with your charter agent in advance.
