After confirming the availability of your chosen yacht and your booking coming through, you will receive a charter agreement, which will be either a MYBA agreement or our charter agreement.

MYBA is the Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association and sets the standards for everyone in the industry to adhere to. With it, we can guarantee you the impeccable service you seek. The agreement will also include any additional charges and taxes that may apply to your choice of itinerary.

The yacht is confirmed when the deposit (which is normally 50% of the charter fee) is paid and the agreement is signed. Roughly two months before the balance and all the extras are due and that’s when we start planning your yacht holiday in detail. You will have our full support with the organization.

APA is Advanced Provisioning Allowance. Paid in advance, it covers any additional expenses you rack up during your charter week. It includes fuel, marina fees, on-yacht meals, fuel for motorized water toys, other payable services, etc. Per the MYBA agreement, it’s usually in the range of 30-40% of the full price. If by the end of your charter, you haven’t spent the entire amount, you’ll receive the remainder of it back. If your expenses exceed the upfront paid amount, you’ll have to cover them before disembarking.

Booking yacht charter right before or already in the season is virtually impossible. Therefore, we suggest you aim to book the preferred vessel at least 6 months in advance to avoid the risk of losing out on it or the preferred dates.

Croatia’s Mediterranean climate makes it a fantastic yachting destination almost year-round, with each season offering a unique experience. Here’s what to expect:

✔️ Low Season: Spring (April – May)
Ideal for those who prefer milder temperatures, peaceful anchorages, and lower charter rates. The sea is still cool for swimming, but the landscape is lush, and coastal towns are pleasantly quiet.

✔️ Mid-Season: Early Summer (June) & Late Summer (September)
A perfect balance between warm weather and fewer crowds. The Adriatic is ideal for swimming, and marinas and towns are lively yet not overcrowded. This is one of the best times for a luxury yacht charter.

✔️ High Season: Peak Summer (July – August)
The height of the yachting season, when Croatia buzzes with energy. Expect hot temperatures, vibrant nightlife, and a full social scene. Popular marinas and anchorages fill up quickly, so early booking is essential.

✔️ Low Season: Autumn (October)
A quiet, relaxed escape with warm days and cooler nights. Some seasonal restaurants and attractions start to close, but the seas remain calm, making it an excellent time for those who want a private, crowd-free experience.

Gratuities are not subject to any written agreement, but they are customary. Depending on your satisfaction with the crew and service, you can pay between 10% and 15% to the captain, who will divide it among the entire staff.

Croatia’s official currency is the Euro. For payments onboard, you should carry some cash with you. As for the other transactions in the country, you can count on most places having an option for card payment. If not, you won’t have much trouble finding ATMs around, either.

The crew understands and can communicate with you in English. Some members are even multilingual, speaking languages like Spanish, Italian, German, etc. If you have any preferences, you may let us know, and we will find the best solution for you.
