Frequently asked questions

What happens when I request a quote?
Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.
When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?
The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.
What is the Charter Fee?
The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.
Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Motorboat Rentals in Biograd: The Center of the Croatian Coast

Biograd na Moru is often called the "Heart of the Adriatic" because of its central location. A motorboat rental in Biograd puts you closer to the Kornati National Park than any other mainland port. From the massive Marina Kornati, you can reach the park's 89 islands in under an hour, or cruise north to see the famous heart-shaped island of Galešnjak.

Why Rent a Powerboat in Biograd?

Local Boat Building: Biograd is the best place to rent Croatian-made yachts like the **SAS Vektor** and **Mirakul**. These hardtop cruisers are built specifically for the Adriatic sea conditions—they are tough, roomy, and offer great shade from the sun.

  • Fast Access to Kornati: You are just 12 nautical miles from the National Park entrance. A powerboat lets you zip over for a swim and lunch, then return to Biograd for a nice dinner on the waterfront promenade.
  • The Pašman Channel: The water right in front of Biograd is full of small islets with sandy lagoons (like Vrgada), perfect for shallow-draft boats.
  • Great Facilities: Marina Kornati hosts the annual Biograd Boat Show. It has top-tier amenities, plenty of parking, and is right in the town center, making your arrival easy.
Captain's Insider Tip: "Take your boat to the island of **Vrgada**, just south of Biograd. It has red soil, pine trees, and golden sandy beaches that look totally different from the rest of the rocky coast. It’s a car-free island that feels like stepping back in time."

Top-Rated Motorboats in Biograd

Our Biograd fleet features a mix of trawlers and local favorites. Here are three top picks:

  • SAS Vektor Adriana 44: A Croatian classic. This lobster-style yacht has tons of room, wide decks, and a huge cockpit. It's not a speed boat, but it's incredibly comfortable and stable.
  • Mirakul 40: Sporty and practical. Built in Croatia, this hardtop cruiser has a tender garage and a cool black-and-white look. It handles the local waves perfectly.
  • Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Fly: The long-distance cruiser. If you want to travel efficiently with the space of a small apartment, this is it. The flybridge offers the best views for spotting dolphins.

Logistics

Getting There: Biograd is a 25-minute drive from Zadar Airport (ZAD) and about an hour from Split Airport (SPU). It's also right off the main coastal highway, so driving there is simple.
