FAQs
What is the best time of year for a yacht charter in the Zadar region?
Late April to early October is the recognised sailing season, with water and air temperatures comfortable for swimming from about mid-May onwards.
May–June and September–early October combine pleasant 20-26 °C days, moderate winds and quieter anchorages, while July–August are hottest and busiest.
Outside these months stronger bura and jugo systems become more frequent, so itineraries need extra margin.
Which sailing areas are most suitable for beginners?
The channels between Ugljan and Pašman Islands, together with the inner passages of the Kornati archipelago, offer short hops, good buoy fields and protection from the northeasterly bura.
Sheltered bays such as Telascica on Dugi Otok and Žut’s ACI marina provide all-weather stops within 15–20 nm of the main bases.
What type of boat should I choose?
-
Monohull sailboats (34–50 ft) are the most common and cost-efficient option, offering responsive sailing and lower berthing fees.
-
Catamarans give extra deck space and a shallow draft that helps in island anchorages, but weekly rates and marina charges are typically 45–60 % higher.
-
Motorboats/RIBs suit day trips or quick island transfers; fuel use and speed limits need to be factored in.
What weather and wind patterns can I expect?
From late spring to early autumn the predictable maestral sets in around 11 a.m., peaks mid-afternoon at 10–18 knots and fades by sunset, providing reliable sailing breezes.
Strong bura (NE) and jugo (SE) systems are less frequent in midsummer but can arise quickly; checking daily forecasts is essential.
How do I reach the main charter bases?
-
Marina Zadar (city centre). 15 km from Zadar Airport; direct bus ~30 min or taxi ~15 min.
-
Marina Dalmacija, Sukosan. 8 km south of the airport; transfer time about 15 min by road.
-
Marina Kornati, Biograd na Moru. 35 km (≈30 min) from the airport, also reachable from Split Airport in 90 min.
All three marinas sit close to the A1 motorway for self-drive arrivals.
Do I need a licence to rent a boat?
Yes. Croatia requires the skipper of a bareboat charter to hold:
-
An International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognised national coastal licence, and
-
A short-range VHF operator’s certificate.
If no one on board meets these criteria, you must hire a professional skipper, which local operators can arrange.
How much should I budget for mooring and marina fees?
-
Marinas: €70–130 per night for a 40 ft monohull in July–August; 20–30 % less in shoulder season. Catamarans pay roughly 1.5 × the monohull rate.
-
Restaurant pontoons / local buoys: often €20–40 with an expectation you dine ashore.
-
Anchoring: free in most bays, but you still pay national-park or nature-park tickets where applicable.
Average crews spend about €350 on moorings during a seven-day cruise.
Are national-park or tourist taxes required?
Entering the Kornati National Park by boat requires a ticket priced per metre of hull; buying in advance is cheaper than paying on the spot ().
All visitors on Croatian charter yachts pay a tourist tax of €1.35 per person per day, settled at check-in.
A separate annual navigation fee is due for foreign-flagged private vessels but is included in commercial charters.
How far apart are typical daily legs?
Distances between islands are modest: Zadar – Sukosan 6 nm, Sukosan – Pašman 10 nm, Pašman – Telascica 18 nm, Telascica – Kornati 12 nm. Even at 5 knots you can reach the next safe harbour within two to four hours, leaving time for swims and walks ashore.
These answers should give charterers a clear starting point. For route ideas, live availability and boat specifics, consult the Zadar region search results on Boataround once you have defined your crew size, budget and preferred travel dates.
