Bareboat Yacht Charter in Croatia for Your Sailing Holidays!
Just think of sailing away with your family and friends in complete freedom. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? As long as you are a reasonably experienced sailor and you have an adequate (international) skipper’s license, you can charter one of our boats without a skipper and enjoy sailing by yourself.
What is a bareboat charter?
In the bareboat charter, you as the skipper take full responsibility for the chartered boat and its crew members. Regardless of its name, a bareboat charter does not come empty or bare. Instead, the boat will be fully loaded with everything you need for a safe and comfortable sailing vacation.
Even though the skipper is the only person in charge of the boat, every other crew member should take some part in responsibility to have a safe and comfortable vacation. It is difficult for one person to take care of the navigation and make sure that everything else on board runs smoothly. Everybody on board should have their tasks and obligations and this is what makes the bareboat charter quite a unique experience in teamwork as well.
What are bareboat charter requirements in Croatia?

Reasons to go for Bareboat Yacht Charter in Croatia
After discussing how bareboat yacht charters actually work, it is time to discuss why you should choose a bareboat charter in Croatia for your next vacation.
If you have a valid international skippers license, the facts listed below should help you make up your mind:
- You will enjoy a private yacht
Although our skippers are chosen both for their professional skills and for their people skills, most people prefer to have their privacy onboard a yacht. Why settle just for cabins when you can have the boat all for yourself!? You can consider it as your own piece of paradise in which you are surrounded only by your family and friends. As much as yachts can be large, they are tiny compared to the outdoors and the crew will spend a lot of time together socialising, swimming, eating and whatever they are planning on doing. If you would like to share that time only with your loved ones, the bareboat charter is the way to go.
- You will spend less money
In the bareboat charter, you are not paying for the skipper’s fee and for his food and drinks or taking him along to the restaurants that you are enjoying. So, if you are able to sail a yacht yourself and you feel confident in finding your way in the sailing area, a bareboat yacht charter will be easier in your pocket.
