Croatia is a cradle of Mediterranean sailing holidays and a true paradise for a private yacht trip. With warm and calm Adriatic sea, fair weather, abundance of sunshine, low winds and densely scattered islands preventing waves from getting too choppy, Croatian coast is best sailing destination in Europe for couples, families and day sailors.

Yes. Most of the yacht charters in Croatia approve that option. Deposit insurance is the sum that should cover the damages. And it is non-refundable. The amount depends on the age, the length and the insurance policy of the vessel. Some charters also claim a small refundable part to cover some additional damages. For example: unblocking the toilet, lost/damaged dinghy or outboard engine, gross negligence damage, vandalism and if you don't refuel the yacht at the return.

When it comes to navigation and safety at sea, skipper is fully in charge of the yacht. He should have well developed organisation and communication skills, to harmonise the crew's wishes with the actual maritime situation at sea. A good skipper should make the guests aboard feel comfortable, relaxed and safe on their sailing holiday. Croatian skippers are communicative, opened and full of tips, that might be really useful if you are visiting Croatia for the first time.

Private Sailing cruises in Croatia usually last 7 days. Within main season (July, August), yacht charters in Croatia start and end Saturdays. Within the shoulder season short sailing trip ismalso possible. For a relaxing sailing experience, we recommend to rent a yacht in Croatia for a week.
