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 Motorboat in Pula?

Reach the Sand: The Kvarner Gulf is home to Susak, a unique island made entirely of sand with shallow, warm waters. It is too far for a sailboat day trip, but an easy sprint for a motorboat from Pula.

  • Cape Kamenjak: This protected nature park at the tip of Istria is famous for its sea caves and rugged cliffs. With a small motorboat, you can enter the caves (Golubinka) and anchor close to the cliffs for jumping.
  • Brijuni Safari: Cruise around the Brijuni National Park. While you cannot anchor everywhere, you can dock in Veli Brijun or anchor in the designated bay of Sv. Nikola to see the zebra and elephant safari.
  • Dolphins: The channel between Pula and the island of Cres is one of the best places in the Adriatic to spot wild bottlenose dolphins. A quiet, drifting motorboat is the best way to observe them.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you visit **Cape Kamenjak**, anchor in the bay of **Portić** and swim ashore. From there, it's a short walk to the legendary **Safari Bar**. It’s a jungle-themed beach bar hidden in the reeds serving sangria and sardines—a must-visit!"

Top-Rated Motorboats in Pula

Our Pula fleet focuses on reliable weekenders and sporty day boats. Here are three favorites:

  • Beneteau Antares 9: The ultimate family weekender. With two cabins and a fully enclosed salon, it offers protection from the wind and sun, making it ideal for exploring even in the shoulder season.
  • Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095 Fly: A mini-yacht experience. The flybridge gives you a commanding view of the Kvarner Gulf, and the three-cabin layout is impressive for a boat of this size.
  • Atlantic Marine 730 Sun Cruiser: A sporty open boat with a small cabin. It is fast, economical, and perfect for dashing over to the island of Unije for a swim and lunch.

Logistics

Fuel: Marina Veruda has a dedicated fuel station that is easily accessible. If you return to ACI Marina Pula (city center), be aware that the fuel dock is busy with ferries, so plan your timing carefully.
