The main bases are Split, ACI Trogir, Marina Kaštela, Šibenik (D-Marin Mandalina, Solaris), Zadar / Sukošan and Biograd, Dubrovnik (ACI Komolac, Cavtat), and Pula for Istria and Kvarner. Split is the central-Dalmatia workhorse for Hvar–Vis–Korčula; Zadar and Šibenik suit Kornati-focused weeks; Dubrovnik opens Mljet, the Elaphites and Lastovo; Pula is the quiet northern route.

The weekly rate for this catamaran depends on the season and on the week you choose, so we quote it on request. Send the dates you have in mind and a charter agent replies with the price for the whole week, with every mandatory extra and optional add-on listed line by line.

Yes. Croatian rules require the skipper to hold a recognised boat licence (ICC, RYA Day Skipper or higher, or an accepted national equivalent) and a VHF radio certificate — both are verified at base sign-off and recorded on the contract, with a second competent crew member named alongside. If your licence is in doubt or you have no VHF ticket, book a skippered week and the captain handles all certification and the base handover.

If you are licensed and confident with stern-to mooring, sand anchoring and reading a Bura forecast, a bareboat week among the Croatian islands is very manageable. If not — or if it is your first Adriatic week — add a skipper: when the operator offers one for this catamaran, its price is listed in the Extras section. A local skipper brings the knowledge that counts here: Bura-proof bays, Maestral timing for open crossings, and park and harbour-master admin done for you. A fully crewed cat with captain and hostess or cook sits at the luxury end.

Croatian bareboat charters run almost universally on a fixed Saturday-to-Saturday week — it is how bases stagger hundreds of handovers on the same weekend. Board Saturday from 17:00 once the boat is cleaned and checked, sleep aboard the final Friday night, and disembark by 09:00 Saturday for the next crew. Mid-week starts exist only on a few boats and late availability; we flag anything that breaks the norm when we quote.

Yes, and all are modest and itemised. Croatia charges a per-person sojourn (tourist) tax for the days aboard plus a coastal safety-of-navigation vignette scaled to boat length and duration — usually settled by the base and shown on the contract. National-park entry is separate and per-day: Kornati, Telašćica, Mljet and Brijuni are entered by boat (buy ahead — on-site is dearer), while Krka is reached on foot via the park shuttle from Skradin. We block the permits your route needs as part of the booking.

They are the ideal Adriatic family platform. The shallow ~1.2 m draft lets a wide-beam cat anchor in sandy bays monohulls cannot reach — Pakleni coves, Polače and Pomena on Mljet, calm Kornati moorings — with a level deck, walk-in swim platforms and separate cabins fore and aft. The sheltered channels between Brač, Hvar and Korčula keep daily passages short (2–4 hours) and the seas flat. Lifeline netting and child vests are available on request.
