In the past, only people who owned a yacht, or had a friend that owned a yacht, had access to this luxury of the sea.
Today, there are a lot of yachts available for rent through many different companies and agencies.
While getting a yacht, even for rent, is not very cheap, it is possible.
If you have never been on a yacht, it can be a life-changing experience, especially when you are exploring a region as scenic as Croatia.
Croatia is home to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
If you truly want to experience the beauty of its waters, then there is no better option than to explore it on your own private yacht with your favorite people.
Here is how you can go about going on your first yacht tour.
Choosing the Yacht
There are a lot of yachts to choose from. They come in a variety of sizes and they are all built with a specific purpose in mind.
While all yachts are luxurious and far more comfortable than any other kind of boat, the kind of services and amenities that they offer will vary quite a bit.
Generally, the bigger sized yachts are designed for long-distance travel, but they also accommodate more people and offer unique services that smaller yachts can’t facilitate, for instance, a private helicopter pad.
Croatia has a big coastline but that doesn’t mean you need the biggest yacht. Even a medium-sized cruiser will be enough to explore this region.
Choosing the Crew
Just like a private jet, you also need to choose the crew that is going to be traveling with you and making you feel at home on the yacht.
The kind of crew you choose will depend on your needs.
If you are a family or a group of families who want to charter a luxury yacht then you will want a crew who is qualified to manage people of different age groups and who is comfortable entertaining children too.
If you want to take pets along then it would make sense to get a crew that can also accommodate your pets.
If you want some assistance in exploring the place, then you can get a crew who can help you navigate and also teach you about the region.
Journey and Destination
Yacht trips can go on for as long as you like and can take you as far as you can imagine.
As long as you have the clearance to travel through those waters and you have the fuel to keep going, there is no limitation.
Sorting this out before you leave will help you have a much more streamlined journey.
Otherwise, you might find yourself in serious legal issues if you don’t have the necessary paperwork.
Having a private yacht gives you all the freedom you need to explore a new region at your own speed and with privacy.
If you are a large group or multiple groups coming together to rent a yacht, you will find that it is not that much more expensive than getting a standard cruise boat, but it offers many more amenities.
Make sure you book your space well in advance as there can often be a long waitlist for the most popular yachts.
