Frequently Asked Questions about 3-day Sailing Adventure in Croatia Tour

How hard is the 3-day Sailing Adventure in Croatia Tour?

Do I need to know how to sail to book this sailing tour?

Not at all—you get to relax! You will have a professional Skipper to navigate and operate the boat.

Will there be other guests onboard?

When you book a sailing charter, it is for only your group and your Skipper. However, for this itinerary we are offering you a possibility to book a coupe on a chartered route, where you would share the boat with other travellers. This is way cheaper than booking the whole boat!

Where can I buy food for the tour?

If you do not have meal service included, you can purchase groceries at the supermarket before embarking. It is recommended to buy only a couple of days’ worth of food because you can get fresh produce when you visit each island.

Is there a kitchen on the boat?

Yes. Each vessel is equipped with a kitchen.

Is the menu for half-board set?

If you select half-board, you can send your meal preferences in advance to the crew. Please notify the crew in advance if you have dietary restrictions or allergies.

What happens if the weather is bad during the trip?

Your professional Skipper will make a call and either change your route or anchor in the nearest marina. Your safety is a priority. No refunds will be provided due to bad weather.

How much should I tip the crew?

In Croatia, a small percentage of your total cost as a tip is appreciated if you are happy with the experience and service you received. Generally, 5%–10% is recommended.

Can I bring my pet?

Some boats in the fleet are pet-friendly, so it depends. Please contact us to confirm.

Is smoking allowed?

Can I sail the boat?

The UK‘s Foreign Office and Government of Canada also provide advice on foreign travel. Note that the travel advice may change depending on your nationality.

Why do I need to pay marina and mooring fees?

Spending a night (or even a day) in a marina is an important part of sailing: not only it gives a safe shelter for your boat, but it also lets you explore the local villages and replenish the supplies. However, it comes with a fee that depends on many factors: the marina’s location, season, and the size of your boat. In some cases, these visits are hard to predict or plan for, so please do not be disappointed with your skipper if you need to dock in the marina in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances – your safety is the most important part of your trip.

How much should I budget for marina and mooring fees?

There are many factors that affect the mooring prices. Every marina has its own pricing policies that are affected mostly by the season and boat size. Below are some examples of the mooring fees (please don’t take them as final costs as they might):

Low season:
37 feet boat: 42€ - 90€ per night/per boat
42 feet boat: 48€ - 95€ per night/per boat
45 feet boat: 51€ - 115€ per night/per boat
50 feet boat: 57€ - 135€ per night/per boat

High season:
37 feet boat: 45€ - 115€ per night/per boat

45 feet boat: 55€ - 150€ per night/per boat
50 feet boat: 61€ - 175€ per night/per boat

However, if you are blessed with a combination of beyond perfect weather and good forecasts for an upcoming couple of days, your skipper might make a decision to anchor in a cove for the night which is free of charge!
