Understanding Skippered Charters.  These charters are increasingly popular for their ease and expert guidance. Skippers are not only highly qualified mariners, but also adept at being sociable or discreet according to guest preferences.

You’ll also learn about some facts you might not have known, like it’s your responsibility to feed your skipper and your Operator or agent only act as “recruiters”, whilst they will bear natural responsibility for finding suitable and qualified skippers, it’s a typically a direct relationship.

Here at SailChecker, we work closely with our clients to help them make arrangements with their skipper that works for them.

Pre-Charter Access and Skipper Selection

Choosing Your Skipper. You get surprisingly little choice over or access to your skipper.  Typically detailed planning discussions won’t be possibile until you arrive at the base.

Whilst this sounds restrictive, it’s actually the most effective and efficient. It will mean that your skipper is not dealing with future client’s and be able to focus on you during your charter. It means that you won’t make planning decisions that are undone by local weather conditions.

The popularity and freelance nature of skippers has lead to high demand and high turnover. Operators will not always be in a position to allocate until the week leading up to your charter.

Here at SailChecker we work hard to understand your specific requirements, not all operators work in the same way, help balance all your requirements to ensure the best possible experience.

1. definition of a skipper, how to define the skipper or captain of a boat during a charter.

Let’s start with a formal definition:

Skipper. noun. /ˈskɪpə(r)/ /ˈskɪpər/ ​the captain of a small ship or fishing boat.

You will find the word used worldwide but it is chiefly in use in Europe, especially the UK. In the US and in the Far East, you will see the word interchanged with “captain”, reserved for larger ships in British English. Whichever you choose to use, you are highly unlikely to be misunderstood or even corrected.

In essence, it’s the most senior person on board and in command of the vessel and has some pretty serious obligations under the local laws and the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea ( COLREGS ). He or she can, if in international waters, even officiate legally recognised weddings under some circumstances!

In the end, you have to lawfully accept their decisions whilst underway which makes understanding exactly what their responsibilities are when chartering with a skipper (or captain!).

2. How Much Does it Cost to Charter with a Skipper?

Freelance skipper rates for yacht charter.

Chartering with a Skipper. Now that you know you need or want to go chartering with a skipper, how much will it cost to hire one?

Price. In 2024 the most typical price for a chartering with a skipper was between €240 or $240 per day. Whilst advertising rates are per day, it can be difficult to charter for anything short of a week as most skippers are seeking full employment at peak times. The exception is Assisted Sailing .

Assisted Sailing. This is where a skipper joins you for several days at the commencement of your charter. It’s particularly useful if you are a little out of practice, a new sailor, or sailing a bigger boat than you are used to.

Route Planning for a Yacht Charter

Many charterers are naturally anxious about knowing where they are going and who decides. For some, booking restaurants and other popular attractions along the way is essential.

The route selection is something that cannot ever be guaranteed. There is always a risk the weather plays a small or large part in your decision. Whilst the Skipper has the final say on safety, the primary guest will have a great deal of input into the route. Where there are restaurants that need booking, more than 1 week in advance, your operator will typically reach out to you, in the main, restaurants can be secured during your charter.

SailChecker has a great deal of experience in each location and, as importantly, how each base operates and treats guests. We aim to find what’s a priority for you and match you to the right operator and boat accordingly. 

4. Can We Have the Skipper's CV and Sailing Resume

How much you get to learn about your skipper in advance and can vary and can change at short notice.

On high-end charters, known as Crewed Charters (opens in a new tab), the crew on the boat full-time have resumes and CVs that will be sent to you before booking. On skippered charters, where the boat and skipper are hired separately, skippers more typically come from a pool and for operational reasons, might only be allocated at short notice. This might not always be the case, smaller companies may allocate well in advance and changes are rare.

Planning With Your Crew in Advance is Often Restricted.

Being denied access to your Crew in advance is a common policy from Operators. This ensures that the crew focus entirely on you when you are on charter, and not dealing with communications from charters in the weeks ahead.

In some cases, your  Operator may not know who your skipper is, or leave themselves the ability to move people around at the last minute. This is ‘priced-in’ when compared to Crewed Charters.

SailChecker will always honestly manage expectations about crew access. We are also a team of ex-crew members who can often answer many of the questions without needing to revert to the crew.

Your Planned Route Can Change at Very Short Notice

On many  yacht charter with a skipper,  the route will go exactly as planned and bear a remarkable similarity to the published itinerary by the operator and agent. In other cases, it may differ significantly once the skipper can talk to you and explain the different options available to you.

On top of that, factors like the weather,  sail weeks  (groups of yacht sailing together to party) that might turn idyllic spots into loud music all evening, might mean a tweak to the route without missing out on the a highlight.

The weather is a strong contender to play it’s part too; heading in the direction wind has been coming from for a few days can make the sea uncomfortable to give one example (there are many), but settled later in the week – your skipper will be an expert on keeping you as comfortable as possible. In other words, they won’t know in detail where you will go, only in outline which is always provided in  sailing itineraries  for the area.

7. Who Actually Hires the Skipper?

Freelance skippers are typically are hired directly by the primary guest.

Introduction . This might seem an odd thing to need to know when you’re chartering with a Skipper . But, it can be useful to know as it might not be quite what you were expecting.

Crewed Charter . If you are chartering a boat with a permanent crew , they are almost always salaried or won the boat. If they are employees, they will have contracts with the crewed yacht charter operator. They are very typically a couple who share a cabin which allows cabin space to be maximized for guest use.

Skippered Charter . If you are hiring your skipper separately it’s commonly referred to as a Skippered Charter  (New Window), you are, in essence, adding a skipper to a Bareboat Charter (New Window), like you might add a driver to a hire car.

Key Info . Keep in mind that every crew member will need their own cabin to comply with employment law in most countries. That said, there are lots of exceptions, but it pays not to assume.

Employment Status. When chartering with a skipper in this manner, they will typically be self-employed. The operator will have their own reputation to protect and will always try and work with the best they can find, yet they won’t always be directly responsible.

8. What Will Your Skipper NOT DO on a yacht charter?

Freelance skippers are skilled mariners and won't deal with every aspect of you charter..

Knowing exactly what to expect of your skipper when chartering is key to a stress-free charter from the outset avoiding any misunderstandings. It’s also the most challenging question to answer, as no two operate in exactly the same way, and it can even vary from skipper to skipper even when working for the same operator! All in all, this makes it even more important to know where the lines are and to get your agent’s support. Here at SailChecker, we take this part of organising your charter seriously.

Here is a list of SEVEN things you will typically find your Skipper is unlikely to do as part of your agreement:

• Pay your deposit. Most boats have a non-refundable element to the deposit. As a charterer, it may come as a surprise to know that in many cases, you are still responsible to the operator and the skipper is responsible to you. If some damage is caused through some extraordinary event, say a surge in water, that the skipper could not have ordinarily made provision for, then the liability falls to the charterer, not the skipper. If the skipper damages the boat, say during docking, he will almost certainly cover that cost and many are insured, yet do not take that for granted.
• Cook . Ok. So there are many great skipper cooks out there, yet it cannot be an expectation. It’s not even possible to demand one, it’s something you might be able to influence through your agent, so if it’s important to you, make it known at the start.
• Serve Drinks or Meals. On the contrary, it’s actually your duty to ensure he is “fed and watered”. This need not be in the style you are feeding yourselves, although it is quite rare to discriminate, yet so long as you discharge your responsibility, the skipper will be more than happy.
• Sail If Unsafe. No matter your crews’ experience, the decision to sail will always lie with the skipper. This can even be at a difficult time in the charter, yet the skipper will always put the safety of the crew and boat before any practical considerations.
• Wash Up! Skippers will always tidy up after themselves if they are preparing their own food for instance, but they will not discharge any domestic duties whilst on board. They take more practical measures, such as stowing garbage, but it will be your responsibility to dispose of it ashore.
• Late Runs Ashore. The way you will get ashore for land-based activities is via the tender. During the day this will often by the Skipper or other crew. Yet in the evening, they will not stay awake to run guests back the yacht after a certain time.
• Provisioning . Your skipper will not do any provisioning. YOu will need to hire a chef or a hostess if you need this doing for you. Many good agents will help you do your initial provisioning remotely so that it is delivered to you on your first day without the requirement to go to the local supermarket.
• Work All Hours. Your skipper will work hard during your charter and will always be on duty if you are underway. Not always on watch in some exceptional circumstances such as a night sail. Whilst when chartering with a skipper, they will always be available for advice and so on at the dock or at a mooring, their duties are considerably curtailed. Typically a skipper should not be working more than 8 hours a day.
• Pre-Charter Support. Charters are pretty intensive for crew ensuring you have the very best time. The last thing you want on your charter is the crew being inattentive because they are dealing with questions from guests of upcoming charters. For that reason, most operators protect their crew by dealing with your questions and pre-charter support up until much closer to the day, if not the day of your charter.
• Teach you to Sail. This is a strange one. This appears in what skippers won’t do and will do. I am yet to meet a skipper who doesn’t love teaching, yet willing students are difficult to find. I once encountered excitable students, only to find their interest wained when I asked them to learn the basic knots! For that reason, some Skipper’s will shy away from any formal teaching that’s not formalised in a syllabus.

A Look at all the Things you Can Expect from your Skipper

So now we have learnt a few things your host won’t do when chartering with a skipper , let’s focus on what you can expect from them.

Here’s our list of what you can expect when chartering with a skipper :

• Meet and Greet . Expect your Skipper there when you arrive. If you are early, he might have some other duties to perform for the previous client before attending to you. As you can see, not much time off in this game.
• Handover/TakeOver. Your skipper will do this on your behalf. It needs to be emphasised, this is typically on your behalf. As the charterer, the liability for the skipper and his actions ultimately rests with you. You can choose to be present or trust your skipper.
• Planning . Whether you’re the type of person to have your trip planned with military precision, or the type to trust in your skipper, the wind, sea and weather might have their own ideas. This is very much part of sailing and the vast majority of trips exceed the client’s expectations because the Skipper, having learnt your preferences and experience levels, is so expertly able to direct you on what will suit your crew.
• Host . Whilst it’s only your duty to ensure your skipper is fed, the skipper can often make a great dinner guest on abord and ashore. Much depends on your preferences and how the relationship develops, yet you will find most Skippers are the “hosts with the most”. Sit back and enjoy their stories.
• Teach Sailing. If you are reading sequentially, this completely contradicts something I wrote in the last segment. It is possible to get teaching skippers outside of a syllabus so that you have some control over the route and what you do (unlike t a formal course). It will rarely lead to a formal qualification, but it will help immeasurably if you’re looking to do won in the future. Here at SailChecker we often go the extra yard to match the right skipper with the right crew to ensure you get the best possible experience.
• Cook . Another contradiction! You certainly can’t expect them to cook for you, yet so many have great skills you might want to take advantage of if offered.
• Tour Guide. Your skipper is likely to be very familiar with the area, and language, you should expect them to be willing and able to help with that.
• Purser . Sometimes the skipper will ask you for a sum of money to cover incidental expenditure. It really helps the crew look after you paying for mooring, fuel, etc. without having to come to you each time. You will always receive a full break down and any unspent APA is returned. What is an APA? Read our comprehensive APA guide.

Got a question about Yacht Charter or Sailing?

10. Who feeds the Skipper on a Skippered Charter?

You are responsible for feeding your skipper throughout the charter.

Responsibility. It’s a clear obligation for the charterer to ensure the skipper is properly provisioned for.

Provisioning on Board . How to provision for your Skipper is a matter of discretion and a decision you can amend as you see fit without upsetting your skipper. They will be more than happy preparing meals from food you have bought for them or to eat your meals whilst about (this is the most common).

Provisioning Ashore . In this case, it might be the Skipper who would prefer to eat alone on the boat to do some work or attend to other matters. If this is the case, you can simply leave some provisions to use, or provide an allowance.

Summary. In the end, chartering with a skipper and feeding them is not an exact science. You should not be afraid of making your own plan so long as they are catered for.

11. How Much Does a Skipper Earn on a Yacht Charter?

Skippers on Skippered Charters will typically keep all of the fee you pay them. This is a little higher than the salaried guys who are get paid whether they are on charter or not and who typically get bigger tips.

Some skippers that are retained by the operators lose a percentage, typically 15-20% for their compensation.

A skipper on a superyacht would get around $5,000 upwards per month dependant on the size of the boat and their experience (plus tips that tend to be bigger than on mid-range charters.)

12. How Much do you Tip your Stewardess on a Yacht Charter

Tips are always welcome and always at your discretion: they do vary from region to region.

How much you tip when chartering with a skipper can depend on a few factors; the price of the charter, location, number of crew, etc. Tips are generally higher in the Caribbean and North America due to the tipping culture.

The  Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA)  has suggested tipping guidelines, the general rule is to tip  between 10% and 15% of your weekly charter fee , excluding running expenses and taxes.

That seems about right to us although we do see more.

13. Are Skippers Qualified?

A brief insight into the qualification your skipper is likely to hold.

You’d hope that your skipper was qualified, but that largely depends on where you are sailing, possibly not. In the vast majority of cases, outside of the Caribbean, it will be a yes. In Europe, it will vary from a good qualification to a commercial endorsement.

Here at SailChecker, we have our own commercial endorsed skippers that travel out with our clients who want that reassurance. We do not knowingly charter with any operators not using qualified skippers.

14. How Do You Become a Skipper?

Thinking about being your own or professional skipper.

This is a complex question, there are many recognised schemes around the world and 100’s of training providers. It largely depends on what you want to use your qualification for and what do you want to leave open in the future.

If you care only about chartering and will only sail in these cruising areas then you should read our blog on the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) (New Window).

If you have further ambitions as a professional charter, flotilla, or delivery skipper, then you will find some m, more information here .

More on the Rationale Behind Withholding Skipper's Details

Having paid not an inconsiderable amount of money for the services of a person so central to your sailing holiday, it is inevitable you are going to want to know as much as possible about them. The reason why that might not happen is mostly answered above: In the end, a series of email exchanges will not get you much further forward, you are unlikely to detect the character flaws that the operator has not already been aware of. If you have a request like a yacht charter with a skipper who is:

• Good with children
• Enjoys teaching
• Is good company
• Is unobtrusive when not needed

Are all matters your operator will take into consideration when

Skippered charter is an excellent choice if you have never chartered before. When it comes to yacht charters, skippered options offer a world of advantages that can transform your sailing vacation into an unforgettable and stress-free experience. Whether you're a novice sailor or a seasoned seafarer, the inclusion of a professional skipper can elevate your journey in numerous ways.

Skippered Charters: Elevating Your Sailing Experience

Chartering a skippered yacht has many advantages. Hiring a Skipper on your charter yacht is an excellent choice if you have never chartered before, particularly sensible when you lack a sailing license or other relevant qualifications required for chartering a yacht on your own. Additionally, a skipper imparts their sailing know-how to the crew members and provides guidance on tasks aboard. The Skipper is responsible for a smooth sailing trip, considering weather conditions, local factors, and onboard equipment. The experienced Skipper possesses excellent knowledge of the desired sailing area and is the perfect companion for a yacht charter. A skippered yacht charter means you'll have a highly skilled captain at your service throughout the trip.

The Benefits of Charter Boat with Captain

One of the most significant advantages of a skippered yacht charter is the inclusion of a professional skipper. Having a skipper on board means you can relax and focus on enjoying your vacation, leaving navigation and safety to the expert. This is particularly advantageous if you lack a sailing license or other necessary qualifications for chartering a yacht on your own. Your captain is not just a navigator; they are your key to a smooth and enjoyable sailing vacation. Your skipper can act as your personal guide, suggesting the best anchorages, pristine beaches, and charming villages that are off the beaten path. With a skipper at the helm, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you're in safe hands. They are well-versed in handling the yacht in various conditions and can make quick decisions to ensure the safety of everyone on board. This is especially valuable for less experienced sailors or those who simply want to relax without the stress of navigating. Perhaps the most significant advantage of a skippered yacht charter is the peace of mind it brings. With a skipper on board, you can relax and fully immerse yourself in the vacation experience. Navigation, safety, and decision-making are all handled by the expert, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey to the fullest.

Sail with Confidence: No License Required

Skippered charters suit many types of travelers and sailors. This type of charter is tailor-made for those who lack sailing experience or have just started sailing. There are times when you simply don't want to be in command or you are new to sailing and just want to grow your confidence. In a skippered charter, a skilled skipper takes charge of sailing the yacht for you. While sailing can be a source of joy for everyone else, it can be quite a demanding task for the skipper. For those interested in learning the art of sailing, having a skipper on board is an opportunity to expand their knowledge like no other. The skipper willingly imparts their sailing wisdom to crew members, offering hands-on guidance and sharing their passion for the sea. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced sailor, you'll have the possibility to deepen your sailing know-how while relishing your vacation.

Responsibilities of Your Hired Skipper

A skipper's responsibilities on a sailing or boating trip are extensive and vital. They ensure safe navigation, operate the vessel effectively, and prioritize the safety of the crew and passengers. This includes understanding weather conditions, handling sails and the boat's mechanics, and anchoring securely when needed. Staying informed about current and forecasted weather conditions is crucial. Skippers need to make informed decisions regarding when to sail, when to take shelter, and how to adjust the course based on changing weather patterns. The skipper is responsible for anchoring the boat securely when necessary and safely mooring it when docking or tying up at marinas. Local knowledge and adherence to environmental regulations are also part of their role. The skipper should set an example in this regard.

Is it better to hire a Cook or a Hostess?

Bareboat yacht charter in Croatia  also provides multitude of options to hire various crew members at skippered charters ( cook and hostess ). Please find below which option suits your holiday style better and what are the assignments they do.

1. Chartering a Hostess

Guests usually book our hostess when they want to have a relaxing and a care-free sailing holiday in Croatia. She can perform various tasks, on board and off board, that you usually have to take care alone when you hire a bareboat sailing charter in Croatia . Our crew is all fluent in English and sometimes also multilingual. Together with our local skipper, they will make sure that your cruising adventure in Croatia is and indulging and a one-of a-kind experience.

Basic assignments of a hostess

• keeping all areas on yacht clean and tidy
• handling the provisioning throughout the trip (shopping for supplies, stocking boat lockers before and during your trip)
• she prepares and serves two light meals daily (breakfast and one simple lunch). Extra meals are option with an additional fee.
• washes the dishes, cleans the galley and salon

A Tip: We advise to transfer her some APA money (advanced provisioning allowance) so that she can supply your boat before arrival.

2. Hiring a Cook/Chef

The general assignment for cook on board is to prepare 3 meals a day , considering the client's preferences and what kind of food do they want. Usual fee for cook starts at  170€ per day . However, it can vary and mostly depends the boats size and number of the guests aboard.

Where does a hostess sleep?

The front bow cabins on catamarans are usually occupied with the crew, that is why we recommend to charter sailing yacht with 2 separate crew cabins. Most of the sailing catamarans in Croatia have such a layout. Sometimes, the crew can also sleep in the salon, but it is not something we advise, since everyone needs time to rest, so they can give you their best during the day.

It is also customary to take care of the crew's meals on your sailing trip. Feel free to invite your crew to join you at the dinner, they will be more than happy. If you wish to dine in privacy, they can east separately.

A Tip: When you hire a hostess you already have 2 meals included. That gives you extra time to explore the islands where you can dine in a local restaurant your crew will be happy to recommend. Here you can taste Dalmatian delicacies in fisherma's tavern called "konoba" - a must try!

Where is the best place to sail in Croatia?

These are top 8 islands that you need to visit on your Croatia yacht charter holiday

What is the best time to sail in Croatia?

Best time for sailing in Croatia is definitively in summer months June July and August when the weather is simply glorious and everything is in full swing.

Is it better to charter a sailboat or a catamaran?

It is all up to your expectations and your budget.

In Croatia you can charter almost everything that floats. To rent a sailing boat in Croatia with skipper assures you to discover the most beautiful islands at your own pace and with a flexible route itinerary. It is considered the most genuine and fashionable way of exploring Adriatic coast.  

On sailboats you mostly depnd on winds, but sailing yacht will give you more sailing pleasures with minimum fuel consumption. Catamarans are wider, more stable, and extra comfortable. Commodity however, also means higher rental price, larger costs on fuel and marina fees.

When it comes to quality of staying on board, catamarans ensure more privacy and space. Most of the catamarans for chartering in Croatia have cozy flybridge that provides extra places to chill or sunbathe. If you want to move faster and your main concern is not large fuel consumption, simply hire a motor yacht. 

If you think green, rent a sailboat

Less consumption means less exhaust into the sea. Especially if you are an active explorer, you will certainly try to stay most of the time under sails. Hiring a sailboat in Croatia is definitively more exciting, fun and authentic holiday experience with an opportunity to gain some sailing knowledge and participate in various activities during your yacht charter week.

Choosing a sailing boat to suit your travelling style and budget

To narrow your choice, you should first estimate how much space do you need and how high can you stretch. Larger the group, bigger the boat, bigger the yacht, larger the cost. When you plan  sailing trip with children , catamaran might be a better choice. If you stay on a budget, a sailing yacht with 2 steering wheels and bathing platform should do. Usually 2 families rent one catamaran to divide the costs. One hull for one family.

How long does a sailing trip last?

Croatia sailing charter runs on weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday. However, in shoulder season (September, May, October, June ) short sailing trips are also possible. To explore Croatia's coastline highlights and visit the most beautiful secluded treasures of the Dalmatian coast, we recommend to book one of our  7 day private sailing cruises .

Which islands are best to visit in Croatia?

Island hopping is one of the most exciting and authentic ways to travel around this hidden Mediterranean jewel. A week-long private Croatia sailing trip  is an exclusive way to explore some of the most remarkable Croatian islands, impressive marine national parks, hidden beaches with crystal clear water, secluded villages and genuine hospitality of the local people, inviting you to taste the topmost island culinary works of art.

Can you swim in Croatia in September?

September  and October are the perfect months for a relaxing sailing cruise in Croatia . The sea temperatures are pleasant for swimming and still above 20 o (70F). With abundance of sun (especially on the islands) the air keeps constant 25 o (77F) during the day almost until late October. Expect lower yacht rental prices, less crowds on city streets and ports, maritime traffic is lower and you can always get a free berth in marina.

With plenty of sunny days and mild Med. climate, Croatia is among sunniest European destinations. Summertime on Adriatic is simply glorious. Sun-soaked Dalmatian islands are literally bathing in sunbeams, while the air is dry and the sea warm. If your sailing trip is in summer season, simply bring your summer wardrobe.

From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless.

Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

From the moment of initial contact with Captain Yiannis, everything was seamless. This company and the entire team could not have been more helpful! We live in the USA and never had a problem with communication. The Catamaran we selected was the Lagoon 450F. It was beautiful, spacious, clean, and easy to live on for a week as we sailed to beautiful beaches.

The Ionian Islands we visited were breathtaking, especially Kefalonia – it was our favorite! Above all, the feeling of safety that Captain George ensured throughout our trip made our journey even more memorable. We can’t wait to experience it again.

So, if you’re looking for an unforgettable sailing experience around the Greek Islands with a professional company and a knowledgeable and friendly guide, look no further!

The best tavernas for dining and the most interesting places to visit.

My friends and I had a terrific sailing trip with Cpt. Yiannis. We sailed islands from Athens to Milos for a week. [...] Captain Yiannis was not only an outstanding skipper, but he also is a very knowledgeable tour guide. [...] Also, he had tremendous knowledge of any island we stopped on the way and recommended the best tavernas for dining and the most interesting places to visit.

The captain was very professional and sailed extremely safe and responsible. Great guy, a great captain, thank you, Captain Yiannis!

Charter a Skippered Yacht for a Carefree Sailing Holiday in Croatia!

Cruising the Adriatic is a dream vacation, cutting the waves on your way from one amazing island to another. One day you're enjoying the privacy of a luxury yacht in a secluded bay, then on the next day, you're strolling down the promenade of a busy town on the Croatian coastline. Truly a dream. There is just one problem – you don't know how to sail a yacht. The solution is hiring a skipper for your sailing holiday!

How does a skippered yacht charter work?

If you've opted for hiring a private yacht charter with a skipper during your sailing vacation in Croatia, your skipper will join you on embarkation. He'll be by your side for your entire charter and in that time he'll take care of the safety of the passengers and that the yacht is returned to the base undamaged, while you enjoy your vacation. The skipper will advise you on the best islands to visit, handle the mooring and anchoring of the boat, and even help you learn about sailing.

Who is a professional skipper?

In the most simple terms, a professional skipper is a person who has the skill and experience as well as all the necessary official qualifications to sail a yacht. Additionally, he takes care of the boat, the people on the boat and all other details that are important for safe and smooth sailing. 

What is a skippered yacht charter?

In a nutshell, a skippered charter is a boat rental where you reserve a boat and organise for a professional skipper to captain it for you. Having a skipper to sail the yacht is perfect for those with no sailing experience, or those who are not yet confident in sailing on their own.

Skippered Sailing Boats for charter

If you want to actively spend time at sea, taste the indescribable feeling of freedom while admiring the natural beauty of the Adriatic Sea, and find the sailing experience more important than absolute comfort, then chartering a sailboat is the right choice for your perfect holiday.

Reasons to go for Skippered Yacht Charter in Croatia

A yacht charter with a skipper is the best choice not only for sailing beginners but for everyone who just wants to spend their sailing holiday on a relaxing cruise and spend time with their families. Another case in which experienced sailors might want to hire a skipper is if they don't have the necessary qualifications or licenses. For example, in Croatia, it is required to have a valid sailing license to charter in Croatia . Also, a yacht charter with a professional skipper is great for those with sailing experience, but no knowledge of sailing areas in Croatia they want to explore.

Skippers are experienced sailors

In most cases, skippers are people whose love for the sea stretches back to their childhood and the first steps in the world of sailing started in local sailing clubs or with their families. A professional skipper will ensure that your sailing holiday goes safely, should any emergency happen he knows how to react and take all the precautionary steps.

Sailing the Croatian coast for years, your skipper has first-hand experience and knowledge of all the factors that have an impact on sailing, such as the currents, tide motions and winds. Thanks to that, if any of the weather conditions begin to seem unfavourable, he will be able to make adjustments to your sailing route and advise where to go. By doing so, the skipper takes care not only of your safety but also of your holiday as he'll make sure that your sailing experience is precisely what you want and need, even if the plan needs to be changed.

Skippers can teach you new sailing skills

This can be a great opportunity for yachting enthusiasts to pick up some skills from your skipper. He will be more than happy to share his knowledge with another enthusiast. Just ask him, aspiring sailors are always welcome. This is the best school you'll ever be able to attend, with first-hand experience and sailing tips and tricks that come with years of sailing, all while you sail Croatia and explore the mesmerising Adriatic Sea. You'll get hooked on sailing in no time!

Skippers know the best sailing destinations

As we said before, skippers have sailed the Adriatic Sea for years and they have the local knowledge of the best places to visit. Your skipper will advise on the best destinations to visit regarding your preferences. Whether you want to enjoy the privacy of secluded coves, visit the best islands for snorkelling and diving on pristine beaches, or enjoy   traditional Croatian cuisine on the Dalmatian coast. If lively nightlife is your thing or maybe you want to island hop to different ancient cities every day, the skipper will know where to go! The skipper also knows all the best mooring places, marinas and anchorages and of course, it goes without saying – he is very familiar with Croatia and the Adriatic Sea. All you have to do is kick back and have the time of your life.

Skippered Catamarans for charter

If you need plenty of space, stability and speed for your perfect sailing holiday, your choice is, without a doubt, the catamaran charter in Croatia!

Frequently Asked Questions about Skippered Yacht Charter

Does the skipper speak english or any other language.

All skippers who work with Croatia Yachting speak Croatian and are fluent in English . If you or your party are not comfortable with English, we also have a crew fluent in other languages.

Tip: The multilingual crew get booked first, so you should book ASAP.

Can we make specific requests regarding the skipper?

Absolutely and we will do everything we can to make this happen . If you have special requests like – “Age (younger/older), good with kids, non-smoker, knows good party spots…” Whatever it may be, just let us know; the more information we have, the better we can match the perfect skipper for you.

Do you assign a skipper or do we get to choose?

Our standard procedure is that we gather as much information about you and your party as possible (i.e. preferences, yacht, itinerary), then we send you 2 – 3 CVs, and you choose your captain.

Will I have privacy during our yacht charter?

If you're worried about your privacy while having a skipper on board, it's important to know that the skipper will adjust according to your preferences . We are asked this question many ways – “ What if we don’t want the skipper to always be with us” or “ We value our privacy”. Alternatively, we also hear – “ We would like the skipper to be actively involved in our holiday”. The easy answer is – both are possible. If you want to spend your time in the company of your friends and family, the skipper will respect your wishes and stay out of your way. However, if you want more interaction and conversation, he'll be up for it. Communicate openly with your skipper throughout the week, and we trust you will find a perfect rhythm with your skipper.

Where does the skipper sleep on a boat?

Skippers must have their own accommodation on the boat. If you plan to charter a yacht with a skipper (and/or hostess), it is best to charter a yacht which already has separate crew cabins. 

If crew accommodation is not planned in the layout, then it is customary to leave one cabin for the skipper/hostess. Sometimes skippers sleep in the saloon but this is not something we advise as the crew needs time to rest so they can give you their best.

How much does a skipper cost?

Typically, crew fees depend on the level of their experience and the size of the yacht. However, to help you budget , the cost of a skipper in Croatia is usually between 150 – 250 EUR per day.

This fee does not include meals for the crew; your crew can either join you for meals or you can allow 30 EUR per crew member, per day. Also, note that this fee does not include gratuity.

Should we tip our skipper in Croatia?

We recommend you keep tipping in mind while you're planning your holiday budget. Although tipping is not mandatory in Croatia, a tip of 10%-20% of the charter price is customary , especially if you're satisfied with the skipper's service.

Adriana and Radu will make you feel at home the moment you step foot on the boat. My family has NEVER repeated vacations to any destinations UNTIL we sailed with the Albatross. The first time we sailed was 6/2015. Our kids were 10 and 8 at the time. We brought another couple with us for a total of 6 people on board. The berths on the boat were very comfortable and meticulously clean. The galley has a small fridge/freezer and there is a stove and oven should you want to cook. Plenty of storage space for all your food and snacks. You set sail right away and the adventure begins. Everyday was a new island destination and we would stop for a mid morning swim in a secluded cove somewhere along the way. The kids and the adults loved jumping off the boat, snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding or just swimming around. All the gear is already on the boat, just pack your swimsuit and sunscreen. After eating lunch on the boat we would return pull up anchor and continue to our destination for the evening. Before you set anchor or pull up to the dock, Adriana gives you information about the island, the best beaches and points of interest, modes of transportation and even restaurant recommendations. All you have to do is decide on what best fits your groups interests. She makes it so easy you don't need to spend hours combing through books wondering what the best sites to see are. She can and will even call ahead to arrange a cab for you if you need it. Our 10 and 8 years old kids loved the trip so much, as did us parents, that we returned in 2019 and sailed again. Like I said we NEVER repeat trips so we insisted on seeing new islands and ports. Our first 2 week trip in 2015 took us to the Cyclade islands and the second 2 week trip in 2019 we went to the Dodecanese. Our kids were 14 and 12 this time and still loved everyday of the trip, until we had to leave. We told Adriana and Radu to start building another 2 week itinerary for us as we are considering and will probably be back for a third time. Truly cannot say enough great things about this experience. Adriana and Radu will make your trip into a personalized adventure tailor made for your family or friends. We were a group of five adults with several trips to our credit. We had an amazing week with Adriana and Radu. Not only have we sailed in a magical setting, we have also benefited from the experience of our guides. Adriana and Radu do everything to make our experience perfect. The boat is impeccably clean and very well maintained. At each island our hosts gave us advices and recommendations on the sites to see and their advices were always very good. In addition, the stops in the small bays little attended are magic. They are always on the lookout for questions and requests. I do more than recommend because we are going back next year! You must live this experience .Thank you Adriana and Radu! See you next year ! . What an awesome experience we shared with family and friends on our amazing three-week charter with Adriana and Radu on the Albatross! Our holiday far exceeded my expectations thanks to the special care and hospitality given to us by Adriana and Radu. They made this a very special holiday for me, my family, and closet friends. From my first email inquiry two years prior to boarding the Albatross, Adriana was very responsive and provided me with all the information I needed to ensure I chose the proper charter of the Greek Islands. Once aboard, Adriana and Radu surpassed all my expectations for ensuring we had a safe and fulfilling experience. Everything from selecting our daily routes, visiting beautiful harbors and towns, to recommendations for sights to see and places to eat was spot on! I can’t imagine a better time with a better crew to see the Greek Islands from a local perspective. I give Adriana and Radu 5+ Stars for a holiday of a lifetime- Thank you! A year ago we started researching for a spectacular ending to our 5 month European adventure. We decided that a casual cruise around some Greek islands would do the trick. After contacting Adriana and exchanging a few e-mails, we were left with no doubt as to which charter we were going to choose. Adriana is passionate about her sailing and sharing the wonders of Greece with all. From the moment we met Adriana at Skippers we felt immediately “at home”. We were introduced to Radu & the Albatross and got settled in quickly. These guys had thought of absolutely everything! The boat was fully equipped and the Charter Starter was a blessing and covered most, if not all what we needed. We were after a hassle-free, relaxing, yet exciting adventure and that is exactly what we got! We had no particular agenda but the brief was to take us to some beaches, swimming spots, fishing villages, historical sites. We all discussed and decided upon a rough itinerary (subject to weather conditions) on the 1st day before leaving, and although we had to change it during the trip, there was always an amazing alternative offered up by this great knowledgeable team. At each stop, Adriana would share her extensive knowledge of the area with us, complete with recommendations of what to do, where to eat, where to hire a car etc. Everything was just as she had said & we had a great time at each. Adriana & Radu are an incredible team that were completely in sync. Thank you so much for an epic high & unforgettable experience. All the best for your future & we hope that we are in it somewhere! If you're looking to sail in Greece I think you should check this out. From the initial email exchanges with Adriana to the last day of sail, everything was perfect. Our expectations were exceeded by the friendliness, kindness, and professionalism of Adriana and Radu. They know the islands like their back pocket and sailing is their passion. In every place we stopped they had recommendations for us where to go, what to see, where to eat, and they were spot on with everything. The sailing was nice and smooth, the boat is updated with all new navigation gadgets and it top condition. Besides the people and the boat, other things to consider: 1) from my research they are the only ones with a flexible schedule, all other charter boats are on a Sunday to Saturday pattern that may not fit your plans; 2) they do not go through a broker, Adriana answers all the emails and the info you get is specific and correct; 3) the prices are set (not + fuel, or + port and other fees, or any other creative gimmicks); 4) they are flexible (time, itinerary and all). Thank you Adriana and Radu. This was the 2nd trip for us on Albatross with Adrianna and Radu; first time for the other couple that came with us. It was as fantastic as the first time and our friends also completely enjoyed the 2 weeks of sailing. Their sailing and local knowledge are amazing. The boat is large, stable and comfortable. The itinerary was planned based on weather and our wishes, and Adriana briefed us on each spot when we arrived (worth taking notes or recording this!). They are always there and willing to do whatever is needed to make the trip amazing, and at same time they have the ability to stay out of the way (not always easy on a sailboat :) ). We already have others asking to join us the next time!! If you only visit Greece once, sail. Sail into the harbors of the old villages and truly experience their breathtaking beauty. Imagine what it was like hundreds or thousands of years ago... So much history and beauty awaits! If you only sail once, sail with Captain Radu and the lovely Adriana aboard the Albatross! We had the honor of meeting them and spending a week on board. It was the best vacation decision we've ever made. Radu is an amazing captain - I (a skeptical and nervous soul who has never sailed) felt immediately comfortable and confident in his ability. It was clear that we had the best skipper in all of Greece (ha!), seriously though, I am so grateful we chose to sail with him. Adriana is so much more informative than I had anticipated. Every time we docked she recommended things to do, told us a bit about the history, and gave us the general lay of the land. Most importantly, she told us where to eat. Eat exactly where Adriana tells you to eat and you will have experienced the best food that island has to offer. Not to mention the dreamy ambiance of the restaurants... As I mentioned I am a very skeptical and cautions person. Adriana made the whole booking experience smooth, she replied promptly and explained in detail how the process works. Had she not been such a professional, I wouldn't have booked at all - we would've likely stayed at a hotel in Santorini or something like that. I am forever grateful that we stumbled upon Blue Water Sailing and chartered a private yacht! (I would've never before even considered it was possible) We booked the first week of October. The weather was perfect and the water was about 75F, nice and warm. The ports were less busy and we got to experience towns like Hydra without being surrounded by tons of other tourists. Thank you so much Adriana and Radu! Read more of our reviews on our . David M, that sailed with us in October was writing: If you are after a yet adventure that is exactly what you will get: and visit as possible in a week - each day you will be visiting a new destination.

There is no other vacation identical to a sailing cruise. You are seconds away from the sea, onboard a floating home. If not you then who? If not now, then when? Still not convinced? Visit Greece with our sailing skippered charters and enjoy a vacation paradise. Experience sailing vacation with a captain Practical information on our skippered charters. Let me just point out some of the main characteristics of a skippered charter in Greece . Your yacht will be waiting in our home port, in Athens (Alimos marina) and will be ready for departure at your signal. For those of you that are visiting Greece for the first time we provide the ability to have a daily city tour in the city of Athens and visit the Acropolis and many other interesting sightseeing which have brought Athens in the first place of the global ranking in terms of historical interest. You captain will be on standby to serve you in the best possible way and sail you to the most efficient locations in accordance to the weather. All of our skippers are licensed and fully trained to provide, professional and high standard services to all of our guests. Most of the times the skipper acts as a guide not only for the sailing part but also in the Greek islands. He will be heading you to choices known only to locals rather than the most touristic ones usually found in the front window of the islands. In most cases all of our guests invite our captains to share stories, moments and experiences together, while having dinner in various traditional tavernas. Meet our skippers in our separate detailed page with our crew profile information along with photos and comments. In most of the cases our guests select to have onboard one of our hostesses. A hostess can prepare breakfast and dinner according to your taste preferences while she could be helping you in keeping the boat clean and in order. A hostess is also a great help if you are having young children onboard and you like to spend some time of free moments. She would be sharing some of the time to keep the kids occupied while you will be having a swim and enjoying your free time. Most of our departures take place on Saturdays and operate on a weekly basis. This means practically that you can sail on Saturday and you will be returning on Friday afternoon, spending the time onboard having a cocktail or visiting the city center ( check here how to explore athens sightseeing ) while the next Saturday morning you would have to disembark (if we are talking for a one week cruise). People wonder if a week is enough.. Well this depends on two main principles: a) Where you plan to go and what you have in mind in exploring: To my opinion when you are on sailing vacation you need to consider various factors to have the best sailing experience. One would be to take under consideration how much would you like to sail per day. And when I mean you, I am talking about all of the crew. Many times women and children are less experienced and would not prefer to sail more than 2 hours per day-at least the first days of their vacation. This is something you need to take under consideration in order to prepare a successful route. The second would be the weather. You need to understand that the best vacation is a combination of weather and location. The most beautiful bay combined with an unpleasant weather does not add up to the best result. RELAX! That is the strong advantage when sailing from Athens. That is, you have the possibility, according to the weather, to plan a route that will be compatible with the nature conditions at the time of your arrival. In case of very strong winds you can sail in the marvelous Saronic gulf that is always calm and fully protected, while your skipper will take you to calm and isolated bays. On the other hand if you enjoy sailing you have the possibility to sail to the Cyclades and visit this complex of islands among which are, Mykonos, Paros and Santorini. If you are planning to visit Santorini, I would suggest that you would need a two week sailing skippered charter since you will need to cover a lot of miles for a one week trip. b) The number of islands you want to explore: Again, my idea is that you are on vacation! Greece has approximately 2500 islands. There is no way that you will be visiting all the islands in just a single trip. Our suggestion is to enjoy the moment and spend as much time as you feel like it in every place. There is no harm done if you are having a great time in Milos, to leave ‘because the program says so’.. This is why a skippered charter in Greece is the ultimate vacation option. You have the freedom to sail, to stay anchored, to swim or to do as you please depending on your desire. Therefore, seize the moment and look around you. This is what vacation is all about! To lose the track of time and enjoy pure emotions and heartbeats. Normally in a weekly sailing cruise you should be visiting aprox 6 islands during your trip. For some of you this is not sufficient, however this depends on the time that you have available for vacation. It is logical that the more time you have available the more islands you could explore. Moreover the weekly sailing charter is perfect for those of you visiting Greece for 10 days where you can still have some time to visit Athens and the suburbs nearby. For us the ideal length of a skippered sailing cruise in the Greek islands is a period of 2 weeks. This is simply because you may have more options in terms of more islands to visit-more than 12, flexibility according to the weather, availability to relax in an island for more than 1 day and many others. If you are one of the lucky ones who will get the chance to have 3 weeks available for their vacation then we can guarantee you will losing the track of time and you will have a great experience to remember. As mentioned previously the key concept of our private skippered charters is that we will spend time with you to choose exactly the itinerary that matches to your expectations. It is not just a fixed route to follow with predefined stops. Of course we know the ‘must see’ locations and we will put them on the table during our sail planning, but one thing is certain. You will experience the island hopping ( click to see how to do island hopping in Greece ), a lot of swimming and diving in different bays and crystal waters will yacht will provide you with all the amenities of a hotel. Furthermore during your island hopping you will have the chance to discover why each of the Greek islands, is unique. Most of you may be familiar with Mykonos and Santorini but trust our word, there are equally beautiful islands such as the famous ones, such as Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Paros, Antiparos, Kimolos and many others. Each with unique history and places to visit as well as different cuisine recipes. According to the above we will determine the best route for your preferences and will be sailing to the first island shortly. A good tip is to have a shopping list, which we offer as a free service, this way you will be having all of your shopping onboard when you arrive and you will save energy not waiting in the lines of the local supermarkets. In addition you have the possibility to ask for some of our optional extras. Among those you will find internet connection to have onboard during your trip, stand up paddles for those of you that are more active or you wish to keep your younger kids occupied, two-seated canoes that we guarantee that will cause a lot of laughter and action or underwater cameras to capture your adventurous moments. Once you set sail, this is it. You are on sailing vacation. Your captain will be glad, for those of you that want to acquire some knowledge, to show the basics around sailing and navigating. This is mainly interesting for children but for adults as well that would like slowly to get familiar with what sailing is all about. Moreover in just about couple of hours you will be relaxing in the middle of a beautiful bay making plans on where to have dinner or walk in the little white stripped alleys throughout the islands. Since we mentioned dinner, with a skippered sailing cruise you have the choice whether to have lunch or dinner onboard or in every island you may reach. In the islands there are the typical local restaurants called ‘tavernas’ where you will taste traditional food ( check this article for greek food you are going to taste in greek islands - videos included ) based on local ingredients and cooked with different recipes in each island. Each location is famous for a specific ingredient and product while there are famous recipes for different islands. A tavern is not a must if you are looking for something super fancy but we highly recommend trying this type of restaurant during your trip. Most of them are placed right beside the sea so you will most probably tasting the delicious meals while the little waves will be passing by next to you. The other choice is to cook onboard-your yacht is equipped with a fully functional galley which operates with gas and has 2-3 burners available plus an oven with a grill. If you have a hostess onboard then most probably in the morning you will decide what type of ingredients you would prefer for the day’s dinner and she would prepare everything to be ready for the day. In the islands there are super markets with super fresh material so we are quite certain that you will be more than happy with the result. All of the above consist a super-premium vacation type. The type that you would probably pay a fortune to have as a result. But still, the skippered charter we offer in Greece is the most affordable vacation type someone could ask for . The value you will be getting for your money is incomparable to any other vacation type. If you compare the price of a skippered charter to a typical stay in one local hotel for a week you will notice that there is a huge difference to the service and experience you will be getting compared to the amount you will be paying. Moreover, you need to appreciate there is no other vacation that would allow you to wake up and dive into the most immaculate clear blue waters in just seconds. For those of you wondering how easy it is to book a skippered charter in Greece with Yachtsailing.gr we answer at once. VERY EASY! Just select the dates (you will find at the top bar on your browser) you will be visiting, let us know the number of guests on board, add the skipper and that’s it.
