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 Motorboat in Šibenik?

The Canyon Run: Taking a powerful boat up the winding Krka River canyon is a James Bond-style experience. The water is calm, the cliffs are high, and the destination (Skradin) is world-class.

  • Speed to Kornati: While sailboats take a full day to reach the Kornati islands, a motor yacht from Šibenik gets you to the heart of the park in under 90 minutes. You can swim in Lojena Beach and be back in Šibenik for a Michelin-star dinner at Pelegrini.
  • D-Marin Luxury: Your charter likely starts at D-Marin Mandalina. This isn't just a parking lot for boats; it's a luxury resort with a spa, pool, and top-tier security for your car.
  • Island Diversity: From the car-free coral island of Zlarin to the remote fortress island of Žirje, the Šibenik archipelago offers diverse stops within short cruising distances.
Captain's Insider Tip: "If you cruise up to Skradin, keep your speed strictly within the limits—the river police are active! Once docked, buy the famous *Skradin Risotto* and enjoy the fresh water washing the salt off your hull."
