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 Catamaran from Šibenik?

River Navigation: Taking a catamaran up the Krka river canyon is spectacular. The channel is well-marked, and the calm river water provides a stable, flat ride that is perfect for guests prone to seasickness.

  • D-Marin Mandalina: This is Croatia's only marina designed specifically for superyachts. The facilities for catamaran guests are outstanding, including golf-cart transport for luggage and high-end sanitary blocks.
  • Proximity to Kornati: Šibenik is the ideal launching pad for the southern Kornati islands (Piškera, Žut). You can reach the National Park in just a few hours of sailing.
  • Green Sailing: Šibenik is becoming a hub for sustainable yachting, hosting electric and aluminum catamarans that allow for silent, emission-free cruising in the National Parks.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you sail a catamaran to Skradin, arrive early (before 14:00). The ACI Marina Skradin is excellent but fills up quickly in summer. Navigating a wide catamaran in the narrow river traffic requires focus, so keep a lookout for the tour boats!"

Top-Rated Catamarans in Šibenik

Šibenik hosts some of the most innovative multihulls in the Adriatic. Here are three unique options:

  • Bali 4.1: The ultimate open-space entertainer. The "garage door" mechanism lifts the entire rear wall, connecting the cockpit and saloon into one massive area. Perfect for maximizing space.
  • Lagoon 50: A luxury giant. With a flybridge that offers 360-degree views and vast interior volume, this yacht feels like a floating villa. Ideal for skippered charters with large families.
  • Vaan R4 Electric: A revolution in sustainable sailing. Built from recycled aluminum and powered by electric engines, it offers silent cruising and a cork deck. Perfect for eco-conscious sailors exploring pristine nature.

Logistics

Provisioning: There is a Konzum supermarket just outside D-Marin, and the Kaufland/Lidl center is a 5-minute taxi ride away. Most charter companies can organize provisions to be delivered directly to your catamaran.
