The Dalmatia has many superb coves for free anchorage. The places are easy to navigate but beware of storms which can be violent The cost of living however has exploded with the changeover to the euro and is sometimes more expensive than in France.

ACI Marina everything is professional, the sailing area is very beautiful, but much too expensive as far as port fees and food are concerned.

We chartered for our first time in the region for 1 week. We had a really nice stop off every evening and so many anchorages to swing into for lunch and a swim. We barely scratch the surface in terms of the places to stop and visit. The sailing area also provided us with a variety of options and courses to choose from which was necessary due to the strong winds!

We had an excellent experience with this charter company! The check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, making the whole process very pleasant. A special thanks goes to the technical contact Josip, who was simply outstanding – available day and night, he provided quick and friendly advice whenever needed and solved every user issue we had during our trip. His professionalism and helpfulness gave us great peace of mind on board. Unfortunately, the generator stopped working midway through the journey and could not be fixed right away. But technical problems can happen, especially on boats, and this was clearly not the fault of the charter company. Thanks to Josip’s constant support, we still felt well taken care of and could fully enjoy our time. Overall, the service was reliable, professional, and customer-oriented. We highly recommend this company and will definitely come back!

Excellent service and a fabulous boat. We booked a 2pm check in and when we arrived the boat was ready. We completed the paperwork quickly and were then met by the handover technician within 20mins to talk us through the boat's features. Mamma Mia is a only a year or so old, so is in fabulous condition. Everything works as expected and we didn't have any issues. When we handed the boat back to Sun Life Charter, they were great and once they had checked the boat, they refunded our deposit immediately. I would defiantly recommend this boat and this company.

Bogoslav and crew were absolutely amazing! I booked this beautiful time piece Yacht Velar for my proposal to my now Fiancé and so much assistance and flexibility was provided I was absolutely shocked! The crew were extremely friendly and everyone generally wanted to help! Bogoslav made us all feel at home and checked in with us consistently throughout the day. We planned our day how we liked it at our tempo and Bogoslav & Crew were always there to support us with ultimate flexibility and care. I have rented yachts before and this experience although not the most expensive one has definitely topped the rest! I have massive respect for this man, helping me have my dream day the way I wanted it exactly how I wanted it. I had 10 of us on board and all 10 of us were left astonished at the care and service. Also, the jet ski on board the boat is very fun! 10/10 would recommend Yacht Velar. Absolutely AMAZING!

We had a fantastic time on the boat, breakfast, BBQ lunch and fruit platter was lovely. Very friendly & helpful staff. Great stocked bar / fridge. There were 8 of us and more than enough space for everyone. Enjoyed using the Canoe, Paddle Board and Jet Ski that were on board. Would highly recommend. Maria :)

Frist time with Ultra and I was quite confident they would be good as they are major dealers for Croatia with the likes of Beneteau. Lovely office, personnel and the yacht was beautifully presented. Technical check out staff were amazing. Overall an amazing experience and will definitely be back without any hesitation.

Les Dalmaties présentent de nombreuses criques superbes pour un mouillage gratuit. Les lieux sont faciles à naviguer mais attentions aux orages qui peuvent être violents Le cout de la vie cependant a explosé avec le passage à l´euro et est parfois plus cher qu en France.

Port authorities will check both of these documents along with your nautical CV to determine if you have enough experience. For example, if you charter a catamaran, you will have to prove that you had previous experience with a similar boat.

If you do not hold a valid license or do not have enough experience, you can charter a sailboat with a skipper. A huge perk of having your own skipper is they are locals and from the region.
