Frequently Asked Questions About Yacht Charter

Whether you are chartering a yacht for the first time or returning to the Adriatic, here are the most common questions our guests ask when booking a sailing holiday with Sailing360.

1. Do I need a license to charter a boat?

For bareboat charters in Croatia, you need a valid skipper license and VHF certificate. If you don’t have one, our Sailing360 Sailing School offers intensive courses where you can learn to sail and obtain the C-category Boat Skipper License.

The security deposit is a refundable amount left at check-in to cover any minor damages. It is fully returned if the boat is brought back without damage.
