Frequently asked questions

For July and August, six to eight weeks ahead: we have two boats and two skippers, and Saturdays go first. May, June, September and October are usually fine two weeks out, sometimes a few days. Send me a WhatsApp message with your dates and I will confirm availability the same day.

There's no minimum — you charter the whole boat. The price is per boat, not per person, so it's the same whether you're 2 or 8 guests. Many of my best days have been couples or families of three.

If the marine forecast shows wind over 25 knots or significant wave height that makes the day uncomfortable, we either reschedule for another day in your trip or cancel — and a cancellation costs you nothing, because nothing is paid in advance. I make this call 24 hours before departure based on the actual forecast, and never let you arrive at the marina to find out.

Yes — the Adriatic is rarely flat, and the Saxdor 320 GTO handles 15–20 knots of wind comfortably with its twin-stepped hull. We sometimes adjust the route (e.g. stay on the leeward side of Brač instead of crossing to Vis) but the day still happens.

Cold water, juice, and beer are included. For lunch, I book a Konoba (family-run restaurant) on Pakleni or Brač — you pay the restaurant directly, typically €40–60 per person. If you have dietary requirements, tell me at booking and I'll match you to the right Konoba.

Yes — a private cabin with WC and freshwater shower. The cabin also gives you a shaded place to change or rest mid-day.

Sunscreen, swimwear, a light layer for the return cruise, sunglasses with retainer strap, and any medications. We provide towels, snorkel gear, and shaded seating. No need for sea sickness pills for most people, but if you're prone, take one before departure.

On the day, not before. There is no deposit and no prepayment: you settle the whole price with the skipper at the end, in cash (EUR) or by card on board. Prices include 25% Croatian VAT. On day trips fuel is the one thing billed separately, against the route you actually ran.

Tipping is appreciated but never expected. Croatian customary range is 10–15% of the day rate if you had a great time, less or nothing if you didn't. I'd rather hear honest feedback than receive a tip you didn't mean.
