Croatia

Croatia is a country rich in natural beauty, and no matter where you go on vacation, you'll always find something that will simply amaze you. Dalmatia – "coast of thousand islands" – owns the longest stretch of Croatia's beautiful coast. The Dalmatian coast has already become a geographical term as well as a symbol of beauty. It has a jagged coastline, islands, islets, reefs, peninsulas and bays, marine channels, and mountain chains that run for miles along it. Cities along the coast, with their rich cultural heritage and beautiful architecture in a variety of styles, are a source of wonder, joy, and inspiration. This never fully utilized gift of God and fruit of diligent human hands is complemented, but not completed, by rich Mediterranean and subtropical vegetation.

Summers are hot, with many sunny days, and winters are mild and rainy. Ideal for sailing! July and August are the warmest months, with air temperatures ranging from 25° C to 35° C (77° F to 95° F) and sea temperatures reaching 28° C (83° F). Rain is uncommon at this time of year, which is considered the height of the tourist season. The Croatian Adriatic is one of the sunniest coastlines in the world, with an average of 2,400 to 2,800 sunny hours per year.

Laws and regulations on sailing in Croatia

A valid nautical and VHF license is required for at least one person on the sailing yacht. Port Authorities in Croatia issue navigational and VHF licenses. If you have a license from another country, please check to see if it is valid in Croatian territorial waters. If you do not wish to hire a skipper, you must send us copies of your licenses in advance in order to confirm your booking. You must also have the originals on board. A certified crew list is required on board, in addition to a navigational and VHF license. We will obtain this document for you once you have provided us with all necessary information and will present it to you at the time of check-in.

One-way routes Trogir-Dubrovnik & Dubrovnik-Trogir are certainly the best way to visit the nicest places along the southern Adriatic in only one sailing week. You will start your sailing trip in one Adriatic pearl, and finish it in another. On the way between them, you will see wonderful Mediterranean islands, peninsulas and bays.

Both Trogir and Dubrovnik are historical towns worth visiting because of their stone beauty and abundance of historical stories. The old town of Trogir was founded by ancient Greeks and it is located on a small island between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, only 10 minutes far from the ACI marina Trogir where our boats are located.

The old town of Dubrovnik is not necessary to describe: it is the most popular touristic destination in Croatia, with its medieval walls and fortresses, and a lot of cultural events. When you start or finish your sailing trip in Dubrovnik, it means that you will need to come to ACI marina Dubrovnik, in Komolac, which is only 15 minutes far from the old town of Dubrovnik, and we hope that you will have few hours to visit the beautiful Dubrovnik.

Sailing distance between Trogir and Dubrovnik is cca. 115 nm, and we suggest to organize your trip in the way that every day you need to cross the planned route. If you start your trip from Trogir, our suggested route is following: Trogir – island of Šolta (Šešula bay) – island of Hvar (Sv. Nedjelja) – Pelješac peninsula (Orebić) – island of Mljet (Prožura or Okuklje, with the national park Mljet) – Elafiti islands (Kobaš or Jakljan) – ACI marina Dubrovnik.

Our clients have recognized the advantages of the one-way route and they confirm many one-way bookings. When we need to return boats to their home bases, we don’t charge clients for one-way fees, and these special one way offers are called ONE WAY FREE OF CHARGE offers.

Our Base - ACI Marina Dubrovnik

One of the most beautiful marinas on the Adriatic coast is the ACI marina Dubrovnik "Miho Pracat." It is located 6 kilometers from the center of Dubrovnik, on the Ombla River's source, in a deeply intended bay where sea and fresh water mix, and offers a pleasant temperature during the hot summers. A beautiful old mansion Sorkoevi is part of the marina and is half in service of the marina and half converted into an attractive small hotel. The marina in Dubrovnik is open all year and includes a gas station, supermarket, restaurant, coffee bar, nautical gear shop, tennis courts, pool, laundry facilities, and a port authority. On land, it has 425 berths and 140 boat spots. Water and electricity are available at all berths.

Dubrovnik is connected by ferry lines from Gru harbor to all major Croatian ports as well as ports in Italy – Ancona, Pescara, and Bari. The airport (ilipi), located 15 kilometers from the marina, connects Dubrovnik to the rest of the world, and bus lines connect it to all major Croatian and European cities. From early morning to late at night, regular bus services connect the marina and the old town of Dubrovnik every 15 minutes.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, a small city that was once a country, has always been a cultural center. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its historic monuments with a rich and long history have a special charm. The works of artists, writers, and scientists are woven into the fabric of Dubrovnik, whose reputation and tourist attraction are based on culture. Dubrovnik's many churches and other religious buildings, city walls, fortresses, and museums enchant every visitor to this ancient city. Among the many cultural events, including exhibitions, concerts, and performances, the famous Dubrovnik Summer Festival, with its outdoor musical and theatrical performances, deserves special mention.

Our Sail Boat

Elegance, speed, and excellent sailing characteristics come as standard, as do the self-tacking jib and wheel steering. There is even a third double cabin if you want to bring guests. The Hanse 355, which debuted in late 2010, has a T-keel that makes her stiff, stable, and impressively quick. There are several interior options available to customize the layout, including two or three cabins and numerous upholstery options. The Hanse 355, which debuted in late 2010, has a T-keel that makes her stiff, stable, and impressively quick. There are several interior options available to customize the layout, including two or three cabins and numerous upholstery options. The powerful high-aspect rig of the boat is easily controlled, and reefing is done entirely from the cockpit, eliminating the need to go up on deck when the going gets rough. The 355 has several advantages over the 350, including a separate shower stall, better saloon storage, improved ventilation, and a larger chart table.

The 355 has a low, sleek cabin top, low freeboard, plumb ends, a long waterline, shallow underwater sections, and a generous beam–all of which contribute to her modern appearance and feel. She is a fast boat designed for a small crew, with a single wheel and a more enclosed cockpit than her larger sister, the 375. A shoal-draft keel is a possibility. The hull, like all Hanses today, is heavily reinforced with a complex framework of foam stringers and floor beams for strength and stiffness. The deck and topsides are balsa-cored. Vinyl ester resins are used because of their strength, lightness, and resistance to water. The boat is outfitted with a 7/8ths fractional Z-Spars rig with swept-back spreaders, a split backstay with mechanical adjuster, and discontinuous standing rigging leading to single chainplates on the topsides.

The standard teak inlaid cockpit on the boat is a reasonable width, and there are two returns aft with lockers that make it feel more secure than the 375's wide-open cockpit. The aft seating also has space for gas lockers. The transom platform is easily accessible, but the lack of a permanently attached boarding ladder will be concerning if you fall overboard while alone on the boat. A transom shower is included, but hot water is not. The 355 isn't as cheery as her bigger sister, but she's more refined all around. Because of the wide cabin top, the side decks are a little narrow, but they're easy to navigate thanks to the outboard chainplates. There are also solid alloy toerails, a double lifeline with gates on both sides, and four strong dock line cleats. The foredeck is uncluttered, with a deep anchor well large enough to house a windlass. The bow roller is strong, but it is noticeably offset, which may be problematic when the chain snatches in a choppy anchorage.

Turning the 355 in her own length is simple and effortless thanks to a deep spade rudder and a short-chord keel with a bulb. When put hard astern, the boat walks to starboard a little, but she's easy to maneuver inside a marina. The Volvo 30hp engine was smooth and quiet, and we cruised at 6 knots at 2,200 rpm and reached a top speed of about 7.2 knots in flat water. This new Hanse is a stylish family cruiser with excellent sailing capabilities. She's a breeze to sail, and she has comfortable, bright, and airy accommodations for up to six people.

All our sailing boats have converters 220V/12V so your phones can be charged in the sailing yacht while you’re under sail and you don’t have to wait for shore power. • From where can I obtain weather forecasts? During check-in our team gives you a 7-day sailing forecast. You can always check forecast for sailors on the internet. Usually, you will find this information on the marina bulletin boards which display them in a number of languages. Of course, you can always call the base for weather forecasts, but usually there are regular broadcasts on radio and VHF. • How about safety equipment for children? There are children’ vests in our base, so please let us know the number you require, and the size (weight) of the children. Also, we can provide a safety net if you make a request in advance. • Are there life vests and other safety equipment on board? All sailing yachts chartered through Waypoint Charter exceed Croatian Health and Safety laws with regard to safety equipment. This includes approved safety vests, harnesses, life raft, VHF, lighted buoys, distress signals, fire extinguishers, and more. • Do the sailing yachts have all the equipment needed to prepare meals onboard? Sailing yachts are equipped with crockery and cutlery for the number of people which the yacht would be able to take at maximum capacity. Utensils, which will enable you to cook basic meals are also provided, along with a tin opener and corkscrew. For any specific requirements, please let us know in advance and we will provide. • What is the typical cost of staying in harbors, and in marinas? The marina costs are usually around 50-100 euros per night, it depends on the length of the sailing yacht (i.e. 12 meters sailing yacht for 57 euros per night). Some harbors and most anchorages are free of charge. • Will there be cleaning supplies on board? Cleaning supplies such as washing liquid, surface cleaner etc can be put onboard along with other provisions for a small fee. • Will I need to take any bed linen? Sailing boats are equipped with bed linen. Therefore no need to bring. • Will there be any other equipment onboard such as for snorkeling, fishing, etc? Snorkeling and fishing equipment are not a standard piece of equipment on sailing boats. There are shops in marinas where these can be purchased, or as an alternative they can be added to the provisioning list. • Will there be anywhere to do laundry? There are launderette facilities in every marina and they are usually around 5-7 euros altogether for washing and drying. • What electrical equipment can I take? It’s not practical to take a great deal of electrical goods as electricity is in sparse supply. However, electricity is 220V, 50Hz. Croatia uses the standard European 2-point plugs. Our sailing yachts have electricity up to 300V (enough for cell-phones, digital cameras, laptops, etc.) while in marinas you have standard 220V shore electricity. • What type of luggage should I take? A soft bag – a soft holdall will help store your luggage when you unpack on the boat. A suitcase style (hard case) will be difficult to store with a number of people on the sailing boat. • What clothing will I need, are there any requirements for sailing? Trainers can reduce the risk of getting the stubbed toe while running round the boat. Avoid taking too much kit as it will take up space and remain unused during the trip. • What sun protection will I need in Croatia? Average temperature in Croatia is 33°C in summer season, and even though all our sailing yachts have bimini, it is really important to use Sun block protection. Also, a sunhat which you can soak is very useful and a good way of staying cool. • Will I need waterproofs? Waterproofs will be useful if you have a rainy day, but that’s rare in summer season in Croatia. It is also good to have waterproof gear to protect from potential wind chills while under sail. • What currency will I need in Croatia? The national currency in Croatia is Kuna (HRK). Euros are accepted in most establishments but not everywhere, so it’s good to have Croatian currency with you. Also there are plenty of ATM’s where you can withdraw Kuna with your Visa/Switch etc. • Is food included, can I get any provisions upon arrival? Food is not included in the price of your bareboat yacht charter. However, we can organize provisions for you; just send us the list in advance. Also, there is a supermarket in marina so you can choose exactly what you need. • Who will pick me up from the airport? You can organize a transfer through us in advance. All you have to do is email us your flight details and number of people arriving, and we’ll do the rest. Car or a van will be waiting for you. • Do we have to pay for the skipper's food during our trip? Yes, your group is responsible for covering the contributions for the skipper’s food whether you are dining out or on board. • Is it possible to charter a bareboat from any other day than Saturday? We usually, like most other charters in Croatia, charter our boats from Saturday to Saturday. It’s possible to charter sailing boats for a shorter term but that’s usually off-season. • If we charter with a skipper, what kind of skipper are we likely to get? The competent, friendly and English, Italian, German speaking kind! Not only will he make sure you get safely from port to port, but he’ll be your guide to the best places to visit, and if you’d like, your personal sailing instructor! • Do you provide boat briefings? If requested, you will be given general briefing covering the local cruising grounds. Questions about navigation, anchorages, prevailing conditions, or any part of the desired itinerary can be answered. A more specific boat briefing aboard the yacht will be given at check-in, covering all the operating systems, including rigging, electrical system, water system, windlass, stove, dinghy, outboard and emergency systems. • What qualifications do I need to charter a bareboat sailing yacht? To charter a bareboat sailing yacht in Croatia it is necessary to have sailing certificates proving their competence. The Port Authorities in Croatia require an RYA Day skipper with VHF qualifications as a sufficient license. International equivalents are also accepted from the majority of countries in Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa etc. • Which days of the week can I begin and end my charter? Weekly charters usually begin and end on Saturdays for multiples of seven days, especially in high season. Out of the season or in very last minute, there is a possibility to arrange some 3-4 days charters.
