A preference sheet is a key document for any crewed yacht charter that outlines your personal preferences so the crew can prepare everything in advance of your trip. It typically includes details such as your food and drink preferences, dietary requirements, allergies, daily routines, and any special occasions or celebrations.It’s important because it allows the crew to tailor the entire experience around you, making the charter feel more seamless, personal, and well-prepared from the very first day. The more detailed and specific the information, the more precisely the yacht can be set up to match your expectations and style.

In most cases, we start by looking at a single yacht first. Croatia is one of the best destinations in the world for large groups on one boat, with a strong selection of spacious crewed yachts designed specifically for this kind of setup. That said, in some situations, depending on availability, budget, or the type of experience you want, two yachts sailing together (a tandem charter) can also be an excellent option.

Not always, but there is often more flexibility than people expect. Factors such as the yacht’s home port, booking schedule, relocation costs, and possible island pickups can all affect what is feasible. In many cases, though, there are creative routing and embarkation options that can make your preferred plan work.

Usually not. Most yacht charters in Croatia cruise through relatively calm and protected island waters, which makes the experience comfortable for most guests. If you are concerned about motion or have experienced seasickness before, we can help you choose the right yacht, itinerary, and cruising area to minimize it even further.

Not at all. In fact, starting early is often the best approach, especially since the most sought-after yachts and peak summer dates can book up well in advance. You do not need to have every detail finalized yet, an early inquiry simply helps you understand your options, availability, and budget before making any decisions.

Usually not. On most crewed yacht charters in Croatia, the weekly charter rate covers the yacht and crew, while expenses such as food, drinks, fuel, marina fees, and other day-to-day costs are typically paid separately through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).This means the advertised weekly price is often just the starting point.

No. In a standard yacht charter arrangement, you do not pay any additional fee for using a broker. In fact, a good broker can often save you money and time by helping you avoid unsuitable options, negotiate better terms, and identify the right opportunities from the start.
