Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Yacht Charter with Adria Yachts

P: What is included in the charter price?

O: The charter price typically includes the yacht rental for the agreed period, basic insurance, and VAT. Additional costs, such as fuel, marina fees, skipper (if required), food and beverages, and water sports equipment, are usually not included and will be specified in your quote. We always recommend carefully reviewing what is covered in your offer.

P: Do I need a license to operate a yacht?

O: Yes, if you plan to charter a yacht without a crew (bareboat charter), you must possess a valid nautical license and a VHF radio license. If you do not have the necessary licenses or simply prefer a relaxed vacation, Adria Yachts can arrange a professional skipper for you.

P: Can I charter a yacht with a skipper or a full crew?

O: Absolutely! We offer skippered charter options for those who lack experience or desire a worry-free vacation.

P: How far in advance should I book a yacht?

O: Popular yachts, especially those on our Top 5 yachts for charter list, and high-season dates (June, July, August) are often booked months in advance. We recommend booking at least 6-12 months ahead to secure your preferred model and dates. Off-season bookings may offer more flexibility.

P: What are the best charter destinations in Croatia?

O: The Croatian coast offers a plethora of fantastic destinations! The most popular include Dalmatia with islands like Hvar, Brač, Vis, Korčula, Mljet, and the Elaphiti Islands near Dubrovnik, as well as Kornati National Park for nature lovers. Central Dalmatia (Split, Šibenik) provides an excellent starting point for exploration. We’ll help you choose the ideal destination based on your preferences and the type of adventure you’re seeking.
