FAQs
When is the best time of year for a yacht charter in the Zadar region?
The principal sailing season runs from late April to mid-October. Sea temperatures break 20 °C by mid-May and stay warm until early October, while daylight is long and the prevailing north-westerly Maestral blows at a steady force 3–4 through summer. July–August bring the highest charter rates and busier anchorages; May–June and September offer similar weather with fewer crowds and lower prices.
Which sailing areas are most suitable for beginners?
Novice crews favour the inner islands—Ugljan, Pašman, the northern end of Dugi Otok and the southern fringe of the Kornati group—where passages are short and line-of-sight, and bays such as Preko or Opat Bay give all-round shelter when a Bura blows. Industry guides even rate Zadar “Beginner” thanks to light winds and clear water.
What type of boat should I choose?
-
Monohull sailing yachts are the most economical option and fit crews up to eight in comfort.
-
Catamarans add deck space, shallow draft and great stability—handy for mixed-ability groups—but list prices and berth fees are typically 50–60 % higher and a 12 m cat can be charged as a 18 m vessel in some marinas.
-
Motor yachts/RIBs work for quick island hops but burn more fuel.
Consider group size, budget and the extra marina surcharge on multihulls before you decide.
How do I reach the main charter bases?
Fly into Zadar International Airport (ZAD); regular shuttle buses and taxis reach the city marina in 20 minutes and Sukošan in 10. The A1 motorway and inter-city coaches link Zadar with Zagreb, Split and the rest of Europe if you arrive by road.
Where are the main charter bases located?
-
D-Marin Dalmacija, Sukošan – Croatia’s largest marina (≈1 200 berths), 7 km south of Zadar; ideal for routes north to Pag or south to Kornati.
-
Marina Zadar (Tankerkomerc) – downtown, handy for old-town provisioning.
-
Marina Kornati, Biograd na Moru – 25 km south, useful if you plan to head straight into the Kornati archipelago.
How much should I budget for mooring and marina fees?
Expect €70–€120 per night for a 10 m monohull in low season and €120–€200+ in July–August. Catamarans pay around 50–60 % more. D-Marin Dalmacija lists €79 low-season / €118 high-season for 10 m berths and up to €207 for 16 m in peak weeks. Anchoring outside marinas is free, but national-park or buoy fields charge a separate fee.
Do I need a licence to rent a boat?
For bareboat charters at least one person must hold a skipper’s certificate recognised by the Croatian Ministry of the Sea (e.g., ICC, RYA Day Skipper, ASA 104) and a separate VHF radio certificate. Originals must be on board. If nobody in the crew is qualified you must hire a professional skipper.
Are permits required for the Kornati National Park?
Yes. Boats pay a sliding fee based on length; for example, a 10 m yacht costs €30 in low season or €65 in high season (one-day ticket bought in advance). Three-day passes are available and cover both Kornati NP and Telašćica Nature Park. Rangers check tickets at anchorages.
What weather and wind conditions should I expect?
Summer brings the predictable Maestral in the afternoon, giving gentle sailing breezes. The Bura (NE) can arrive suddenly and gust 30 knots; the Jugo (SE) tends to build gradually and may bring rain. Check forecasts daily and favour sheltered bays if a Bura is forecast.
