What is a crewed yacht charter?

chartering a yachtA crewed yacht charter is, not surprisingly, a yacht that you have chartered with a crew. With larger vessels like mega yachts, this is a given, and the crew is usually larger. However, with sailboats, motor yachts and catamarans, you can opt for a skipper (captain) and hostess, which is a more affordable option.

The captain is responsible for navigation, the safety of the ship and crew, frequent monitoring of weather forecasts and correct route planning, and all supplies to the ship. He is also solely responsible for operating the ship, carrying out minor repairs during the voyage, doing the paperwork in port etc. The hostess is responsible for the accommodation and the cleanliness of the interior.

Do I need a license to charter a boat in Croatia?

You can rent a yacht or a boat in Croatia without a license, but only with a skipper! In Croatia, you need to possess a sports boat license in order to drive any boat. If you do not want to obtain a boat license for your boating holiday in Croatia, booking with a skipper is a good solution, as already mentioned. This way you can completely sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful Croatian sea to the fullest. Just as a holiday should be.
