Do I Need a Skipper License to Charter a Yacht?

Bareboat yacht charter requires a license or documentation which demonstrates you have enough sailing experience (at least 3 weeks as a skipper on a similar yacht size). In Europe, an International Certificate of Competency (ICC) is required and in Croatia a VHF Radio Operator license is compulsory. Having said that, if you do not qualify or want to have a relaxing holiday, nearly all yacht charter operators will propose the option to hire a skipper.

Can I Bring Young Children on a Yacht Charter?

Yes, absolutely. Most yacht charter operators offer the option to place a protective net around the yacht preventing children from falling overboard. Ask us for destinations that are more children-friendly.

Is it Dangerous to Charter a Yacht?

To charter a yacht is not more dangerous than traveling by car as long as precautions are taken. Our yacht charters meet required international safety standards and skippers have the necessary experience and expertise to allow you to enjoy your sailing vacation without worries.

FAQ

What will happen if I damage the yacht?

All yacht charter operators will ask you for a deposit (the amount varies depending on the yacht charter type). Cost of repairs will be deduced from the deposit, you will not be charged for any cost above the deposit amount. For a worry-free yacht charter vacation, we strongly recommend to subscribe to a deposit waiver insurance. Ask us, we can assist you with this.

Can I get a refund if I need to cancel my yacht charter booking?

Once payments are made, they are not refundable. We strongly recommend you subscribe to a yacht charter cancellation insurance that will cover you for this type of concern. Ask us to get recommendations on insurance.

Is it cheaper if I book my yacht charter directly with the operator?

Our yacht charter prices are exactly the same as yacht operators, so going directly to them may not result in a lower price. As brokers typically earn a commission from the yacht owner or operator, we can often negotiate better deals and provide additional services as we have their direct contact.
