Frequently Asked Questions

A.P.A. is an abbreviation for “Advance Provisioning Allowance”. A.P.A. is a fund of up to 40% of the charter price (minimum €5,000 per week) and is used to cover additional costs of your charter. For example, the cost of provisioning, purchasing food and drinks, port fees, anchorages and berths, fuel, crew tips, transportation, mandatory extras such as comfort packages, tourist taxes and other optional extras, food, drinks, etc. The crew keeps an accurate list of expenses, and at the end of the charter the remaining amount will be refunded to you or you will be asked to pay the difference if necessary.

In most cases, the charterer is expected to provide meals for the skipper and crew, unless the charter agreement states otherwise. When chartering a fully crewed yacht with an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), the cost of crew meals is usually included within the APA, together with fuel, marina fees, and other running expenses.

If the yacht is crewed but the charter does not include an APA, you may be required to pay for the crew’s meals separately. This can be done either by supplying food for them directly or by reimbursing the crew for their meal expenses during the charter.

Each yacht is fully equipped for charter. Apart from provisions, you only need to bring your personal belongings. We recommend that, in addition to your swimsuit and light summer clothes, you also bring an extra sweater for cold nights and a light waterproof jacket for a possible rainy day. Instead of bulky suitcases that take up a lot of space, it is recommended to bring smaller luggage, as storage space on board may be limited. You can find more packing tips on our blog.

Weather forecast information can be obtained at the reception desk in each marina, and on the website of the Croatian Meteorological Service it is possible to follow all the necessary information about weather, wind and sea conditions. The Norwegian website yr.no is also popular.

Most yachts are available for charter without a professional skipper. If you have the appropriate license, you can sail and operate the yacht (almost) wherever and however you want, of course paying extra attention to weather conditions and other circumstances.
In case you have a license, but do not have enough experience, we recommend that you also hire a professional skipper. We will be happy to find the right skipper for you. Note: The cost of the skipper’s service is not included in the price of bareboat charter. You pay cash directly to the skipper unless otherwise agreed.
Some yachts can only be chartered with a crew (skipper, skipper and hostess or skipper, hostess and chef). Their service is usually included in the price of the boat charter.
Don’t forget, during the charter period, you also need to provide meals for the crew.

It is customary and generally expected to tip the crew, as gratuities make up a significant portion of their income—around half in many cases. Tips usually range between 5% and 15% of the charter fee, so it’s important to factor this expense into your vacation budget. The crew works hard and is dedicated to making your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Leaving a tip is simply a thoughtful way to show appreciation for their effort and excellent service.

Choosing the right yacht is an important step for anyone planning a yacht charter in Croatia. To help our clients find the best option, we ask a few key questions at the very beginning of the inquiry process. One of the first things to consider is whether you are looking for a bareboat charter (with the option of hiring a skipper if you don’t hold a valid license) or if you prefer a fully crewed yacht.

Having a clear idea of your preferences in advance allows us to give more accurate and useful recommendations. You may want to think about the following:

  • How many people will be in your group?

  • What type of cabins do you prefer?

  • Would you rather have more double cabins or cabins with separate beds?

  • Are you looking for a comfortable and luxurious yacht, or would a simple sailing boat meet your needs?

  • Do you require a skipper?

  • Or would you prefer a full crew, such as a captain, chef, hostess, and deckhand?

  • Would you consider a cabin charter on a larger vessel?

Berth fees in Croatian marinas vary depending on several factors, including the time of year, the length of the vessel, and the type of hull. Since many marinas operate under the Adriatic Croatia International Club (ACI) network, pricing information can usually be found on the ACI website or on the individual marina websites.
