Sailing through the islands of Croatia on a KAT

Sailing trips in the Croatian islands.

Many beautiful islands, bays, konobas (traditional taverns), and island villages are waiting to be discovered by us. We have been sailing in Croatia for over 25 years; benefit from our extensive knowledge of the area.

On our trips in Croatia, we start in Sukosan, Trogir/Split or Pula and return there as well.
This means we can start in Istria, Central and Southern Dalmatia.
Starting locations: Pula / Sukosan / Trogir / Dubrovnik

Our sailing trips are "active participation sailing", which means that most of the work on board is done together, including steering, sail trim, anchoring, etc.

Sailing takes place on comfortable Lagoon 39 // 40 // 42 // 440 catamarans.
For example, the Lagoon 440 offers plenty of space and comfort and is extensively equipped for long journeys.
There are 3 spacious double cabins available for guests, each with its own shower and toilet.
However, other yachts can also be used, which then have 4 double cabins for guests.

The ship's cash box
At the start of the trip, a kitty will be set up. This kitty will cover shared expenses such as harbor and mooring fees (approximately two nights per week in a marina or harbor), diesel fuel, and purchases of food and drinks.
This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner – especially if we spend the night in a bay, for example.

The ship's kitty is separate from the charter price or the price per berth. It is managed by a crew member (not the skipper).
At the start of the trip, an initial contribution of €150 per person is sufficient. If necessary, the onboard kitty will be replenished by the crew during the week without the skipper's involvement.

On average, you can expect to pay around €150 per week per person (variations are possible). If the full amount is not needed, the remainder will be refunded at the end of the trip.

to eat out
If dinner is eaten in a restaurant or konoba, each guest pays for themselves – these expenses are not part of the ship's kitty.

The skipper will be provided with meals by the crew throughout the entire trip (Saturday 4:00 PM to Saturday 9:00 AM) both on board and in the restaurant – this is customary and counts as a free place.

Additional fixed costs on the ship
Final cleaning, bed linen, security deposit insurance, tourist tax, Wi-Fi etc.: €99 per person per week.
This amount must be handed over in cash (euros) to the skipper directly on board the ship at the start of the trip. He will forward the money to the charter company or may have already made the payments.
