We are happy to give you some tips to help you be prepared in your search for a catamaran charter.
First of all, we invite you to choose the type of cruise you wish to make, then determine how much you will be on board, how long you wish to rent and especially where you wish to visit during your cruise.
Once you have determined all of these details, you will need to gather information about the weather conditions and forecasts in Croatia.
Try to make a list of things you would like to do, whether it be cultural or gastronomic visits… but also your budget and the cost that your trip will generate.
Going on a cruise includes a bigger budget than simple activities like camping or market activities like hiking. However, you can always divide the price of a catamaran rental by the number of passengers on board, knowing that it can accommodate up to 12 people (depending on the type).
This means that it is quite affordable if everyone participates.
When this is done, define your needs in order to choose a category of catamarans, whether it be in terms of the layout, the equipment inside, the number of cabins, the size, i.e. the length and width of the boat, etc.
If you rent a catamaran, you will be able to more easily access places where sailing boats do not necessarily have the possibility to have access.
The catamaran will allow you to be closer to the beaches but also to the coast.
They are equipped with two engines that increase their speed so you can enjoy sailing.
It is important to take into consideration that the longer the catamaran is, the faster it is, which will allow you to reach your destination more quickly.
If you plan to rent a catamaran without a skipper, the license will be mandatory, but if you want to relax and rest, you can rent a catamaran with a skipper and you will benefit from his experience to discover beautiful places and why not learn some basics about navigation while you are at it.
The skipper is in charge of all the security on board, i.e. managing the navigation, the security of the crew but also of the boat, the weather, the itinerary, but also of everything concerning the supplies. In case of small repairs, he will be responsible for them.
Generally, a captain is hired with his hostess because they go hand in hand.
The hostess will be responsible for the accommodation and therefore for keeping everything clean and tidy for the passengers. In case there is no chef for the kitchen, she will be in charge of preparing the menu etc.
You can choose what you want, if it is a crewed or bareboat catamaran charter. In general, the skipper will take you to the most popular places.
We advise you to book your catamaran rental at least 6 months in advance to be sure that you will have your catamaran during the period you have planned.
Finally, choose what you want to take on board.
Important thing: remember to take your identity papers and this is valid for all the passengers who will be on board.
As for the rest, you can bring sunscreen, a cap or a hat, warm clothes just in case and socks.
A first aid kit is always at hand.
And for your own enjoyment, some catamarans have kayaks, paddles, buoys etc. as additional equipment.
Renting a catamaran is an excellent way to enjoy your vacation but also the magnificent landscapes that Croatia abounds in so you can go from island to island and discover the coasts.
You therefore have all the keys in hand to rent a catamaran for your next vacation, but remember to do so very early to be sure to have it when you want it. Make sure you prepare your entire cruise from A to Z, prepare for any eventuality and especially make a list of your needs. In case you have difficulties choosing what to rent, we can guide you in your choice by advising you the best for you.
So don’t wait any longer to rent!
