Once we verify the availability of your selected yacht and your booking is confirmed, you will be provided with a MYBA charter agreement. MYBA, representing the Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association, establishes the benchmarks that all industry participants must follow. This assures you the flawless service you desire. The agreement will encompass any extra fees and taxes relevant to your chosen itinerary as well.

APA stands for Advanced Provisioning Allowance. It is a prepayment that accounts for any extra costs incurred throughout your charter week. These costs may include fuel, marina fees, onboard meals, water toy usage, services, and more. As outlined in the MYBA agreement, the APA typically ranges from 30% to 40% of the total price. If, by the conclusion of your voyage, you haven’t utilized the entire sum, you will receive a refund for the remaining amount. Conversely, if your expenses surpass the initial prepayment, you will need to settle the difference before concluding your journey.

Starting from your initial contact, we collaborate closely with you to understand your desires and preferences, crafting an itinerary that aligns with your vision. However, it’s important to consider any potential constraints of your chosen yacht and take heed of the captain’s guidance. Keep in mind that yacht voyages are influenced by factors such as weather conditions and marina availability. Despite these variables, we consistently strive to ensure your utmost satisfaction.

Securing yacht charters shortly before or during the season can prove to be exceedingly challenging. To mitigate the possibility of missing out on your desired vessel or preferred dates, we recommend aiming to make your reservation at least 6 months ahead of time.

Croatia, known for its Mediterranean climate, presents a generous timeframe for your yacht charter visit. For a more moderate climate and fewer crowds, the spring or fall seasons are recommended. While summer experiences the highest influx of visitors, cruising during other periods can provide equally delightful experiences, if not more so.

Although not mandated by any formal agreement, gratuities are generally expected. A customary practice involves offering a gratuity of around 10% to 15% of the charter fee to the captain, who will then distribute it amongst the entire crew based on their contributions and service quality. If you like, you can tip every crew member separately.

As of January 2023, Croatia transitioned from the Kuna to the Euro. While it’s advisable to have some cash on hand for onboard payments, most establishments in the country offer card payment options. In cases where card payment isn’t available, you’ll find ATMs readily accessible for your convenience.

The crew possesses a grasp of English and can effectively communicate with you. Additionally, several crew members are proficient in multiple languages, including Spanish, Italian, German, and more. Should you have specific language preferences, feel free to inform us, and we’ll strive to accommodate your needs appropriately.
