Tips On Yacht Charter Croatia

Yacht charter is becoming a more and more popular vacation option for thousands of guests spending their summer vacation in Croatia on chartered yachts and sailboats. The competition between charter providers grows simultaneously to the growth of the number of guests chartering yachts in Croatia. Due to the growth of the number of guests, the charter offer and the offer of services that accompany the yacht charter business have improved as well.

When you travel for a charter vacation in Croatia, let me recommend leaving your car at home. Driving the whole day from your home to charter marina can be pretty exhausting, especially in the summer season. Once you have arrived to the marina you still have to do the yacht check-in, and than groceries shopping, which requires you to be concentrated, this could make the first day of your vacation pretty hectic. Should you decide to travel with your own car, than you have to add the parking fee to your expenses, depending on how long you will be on the yacht, you will have to pay for the parking for one or two weeks. The best option would be to arrive to Croatia by airplane or train and than use the taxi transfer from the point of your arrival to your charter marina. With Jam Transfer you can book a taxi transfer to and from the marina months in advance. This is a great way to budget your vacation because you can see in advance how much the transfer will cost you.

Once arrived at the marina where your charter boat is located, you must follow the check-in procedure. At the beginning you will be asked to leave the obligatory security deposit to your charter agency. Security deposit is a fixed amount which ensures that any damage done to the yacht during the charter will be covered. The most important part of the check-in procedure is the yacht check-over. This is when you take over the yacht and go with the charter agency representative through entire yacht equipment. The yacht check-in list will contain all parts of equipment listed with all details. Our suggestion is to take detailed comments on your copy of the inventory list. For example if you notice that the saloon table is damaged, make sure to write it down and inform the charter representative about it. At the end of the check-in process ask the person with whom you did the check in to sign your copy of the check-in list. Why is this important? At the end of your charter vacation you will do the yacht check out. It could happen that the check-out will be done by another agency employee, and not the one who did the check-in with you. The person with who you do the yacht check-out might point out on the scratched saloon table and inform you that the fund to cover the damage will be taken from your security deposit. Now you can show him your signed check-in list where you put the remark that the saloon table was scratched when you took over the yacht.

There is one last thing to do before your departure from the marina - shopping for your charter vacation. Make sure not to neglect this step. The sea is unpredictable and marina moorings are scarce and you don't want to get stranded on the yacht with an empty fridge. It is not easy to do all the shopping on the same day you arrived at the marina after all the traveling you did to reach the marina. Especially when you add to the equation the burning summer sun and the fact that you usually have to go shopping on foot. It is easy to go shopping but returning from it with all the groceries can be quite a feat. Therefore it would definitely be wise to take advantage of the latest service introduced in the Croatian nautical offer, which is yacht provisioning. Today you can do all the shopping online, months in advance of your charter vacation, through online provisioning catalog.
