When to start planning a catamaran charter in Croatia?
The best time for starting planning your catamaran charter is at Christmas time when the range of available catamarans is still huge and you can grab an early booking discount offered by many charter agencies.

What are the differences between a sailboat and a catamaran?
A catamaran is like a floating villa while a sailing boat more reminds of a less spacious home. While on a sailing boat you will be able to experience the superb feeling of leaning and adventurous sailing, on the catamaran you will be able to enjoy luxurious moments and spacious exterior and interior areas. Due to the shallow keel, catamarans cannot sail close to the wind, but they can anchor in the shallow part of the bay which is often adorned with the most turquoise colors. Catamaran rental prices, as well as berths in marinas, are generally more expensive compared to sailboats.

Are mooring costs included in the catamaran charter?
Mooring costs are not included in the catamaran charter, and they often range between 100 and 200 euros (or more) per night, which depends on the part of the season, and the length of your catamaran. The catamaran rental price always refers to a period of 7 days. The basic price includes the hire of the yacht and the yacht's insurance. Generally speaking, catamarans more than 50-feet long are often booked only with a crew. On these luxury sailing catamarans, a crew service fee is often included in the charter rate. Obligatory additional costs are comfort pack and tourist tax. In case you would like to have for instance a SUP or a kayak on board, maybe opt for early check-in, etc. keep in mind that optional extras are extra paid. Additional costs that will surely occur during your sailing holiday are provisioning, fuel, as well as previously mentioned mooring fees.

Does the charter week need to start on Saturday?
During the season, most charter weeks start on Saturday afternoon and end on Saturday morning. In April and May, as well as in the post-season, charter agencies sometimes accept different arrangements of boat rentals.

What services are offered on the catamaran charter?
On the catamaran charter, you can opt for the services of skipper, hostess and chef. If you have special wishes such as an onboard massage, be sure to contact your charter broker. The skipper manages the catamaran, takes care of the safety of guests, crew and boat, as well as the tidiness of the exterior. The hostess keeps after the cleanliness of the interior, makes provisioning, prepares breakfast and a light lunch. In case the chef is also on board, you will enjoy sumptuous breakfast, lunch and dinner that will be served by the hostess. More crew members on board mean more relaxing and carefree moments for the guests.
