Let’s check out what you need to sail smoothly in Croatia.
Essential knowledge for bareboat charters
Ever in a position to hire a boat without a crew and then take charge of it yourself? Like many yachting companies, Croatia Yachting Charter is very considerate, and it has set up a bareboat charter in Croatia page to help you acquire some basic information on the requirements and restrictions with regard to qualifications.
These are the basics you need to sail a bareboat:
Croatian boating licence: As mandated by Croatian law, at least one person on board must hold a valid boating license recognised in Croatia. Ensure your license complies with Croatian regulations. You can find a list of accepted licences on the Ministry of Sea website.
VHF radio licence: In addition to the boating license, a VHF radio license is mandatory for bareboat charters. This allows you to communicate with harbour authorities and other vessels.
Local familiarisation: Get acquainted with Croatian maritime laws, signage, and communication protocols to navigate confidently.
Safety regulations for all yacht charters
Whether opting for a bareboat adventure or a catamaran yacht charter with a professional captain, these general safety guidelines apply:
Safety briefing: Before setting sail, attend a comprehensive safety briefing by your charter provider. This covers emergency procedures, life raft operation, and fire safety measures onboard.
Safety equipment: Ensure that you are aware of the location of all safety equipment on board Embassaire and how to operate them; life jackets, flares, fire extinguishers, and first aid.
Weather awareness: It is advised that one should always consult with the latest weather change before an outing and be ready to make changes depending on the detected weather patterns.
Safe navigation: Plan your route meticulously, considering navigational aids, water depth, and potential hazards. Utilise charts and plotters effectively.
Communication: Maintain clear communication with local authorities and harbour masters using VHF radio or designated channels.
Crew list and additional permits
There are also additional permits which you can make/and need to have:
Crew list: Croatian law requires a certified crew list on board.
Fishing and diving permits: If you plan on fishing or recreational diving, you’ll need additional permits.
