There are several reasons for selecting to enjoy a crewed yacht charter vacation. You work diligently all year and you deserve to relax and unwind. Your crew takes care of all the yacht details and setting up the water toys for your use. The chef consults with you about the menus and cuisine based on your preferences.
You are also reconnecting with people you love and spending quality time together in destinations designed for you. There is a great opportunity to spend a lot of calories on water sports and activities. Or just relax taking your daily vitamin D, while others are snorkeling, diving or swimming.
Seawater has a beneficial effect on your respiratory system and skin. You get to see beautiful islands, historical spots, and most of all you are pampered by the wonderful crew in a beautiful environment.
Who wouldn’t want an experience like that?
- May, June, September to October are the quiet periods. The weather can be cooler and the anchorages are not busy.

Yes, you need to hold a sailing license to charter a bareboat in Croatia. However, you may hire a captain through the charter management company if you don’t have a sailing license or prefer to have these duties in the skipper’s hands.
A bareboat is simply a boat that is rented without crew or skipper – you will need to be the skipper and navigate it yourself.
Tipping is at your discretion. If you decide to tip the captain – if they’ve been professional, helpful, gracious, etc. – it’s customary to give 10% to 15% of the charter rate. It is usually presented to the captain on the last night of your charter.
No. Many operators will ask you to charter for a week, usually Saturday to Saturday, but this is most rigid during high season.
