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.

Why Rent a Powerboat in Zadar?

Go Further: The Zadar archipelago is massive. A motorboat lets you reach remote islands like Silba and Olib, known for their car-free peace and quiet, which are too far for a sailboat day trip.

  • See the Sunset: Alfred Hitchcock famously said Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world. Experience it from the water on your own boat, right in front of the Sea Organ.
  • Sandbar Access: Use your shallow-draft boat to access Sakarun Beach on Dugi Otok. It’s one of the few true sandy lagoons in Croatia, offering Caribbean-blue water.
  • Easy Parking: Our fleet in Zadar consists mostly of 20-30ft boats, which are easy to park in the small fishing harbors of Molat or Iž for a quick lunch.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you're heading to Kornati National Park, buy your tickets online *before* you enter the park boundaries to save money. Also, fill up your gas tank in Zaglav (Dugi Otok) before entering the park—there are no gas stations inside Kornati!"
