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 Šibenik?

The River Run: Cruising up the winding Krka River canyon feels like a movie scene. The water is calm, the cliffs are high, and docking in Skradin puts you right next to the waterfalls.

  • Fast Track to Kornati: Sailboats take all day to get there, but a fast motor yacht gets you to the Kornati islands in under 90 minutes. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lojena and be back in Šibenik for a gourmet dinner.
  • Luxury Marina: Your trip starts at D-Marin Mandalina, a facility built for mega-yachts. Expect wide docks, golf cart service for luggage, and a resort atmosphere.
  • Island Hopping: The local islands like Zlarin (coral island) and Žirje (wild nature) are close by, making for easy and diverse day trips.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you head up to Skradin, watch your speed—the river police are strict! Once you dock, make sure to try the Skradin Risotto. It's a local delicacy that takes 12 hours to cook and is totally worth it."

Top-Rated Motor Yachts in Šibenik

Our Šibenik fleet includes some of the most stylish boats on the Adriatic. Here are three top picks:

  • Beneteau Antares 11 Fly: The ideal family weekender. It features a flybridge for great views while driving and a side platform that opens up to create a terrace on the water.
  • Beneteau Gran Turismo 45: A sporty express cruiser. With an electric sunroof and a tender garage, it mixes speed with comfort. Great for a quick trip to Hvar.
  • Azimut 47: Italian luxury style. This yacht offers three cabins and high-end finishes throughout. Perfect if you want to hire a skipper and relax in style.

Logistics

Fueling: The gas station is in the main town port, not inside the D-Marin resort. Many charter companies offer a refueling service for an extra fee, which is worth it to avoid the lines.
