Sailing yachtCan I bareboat without a licence?
No. ICC, RYA Day Skipper or equivalent + VHF is required. If you don't have one, book skippered — same yacht, our captain drives.
What if something breaks?
Call the base. Minor stuff (a winch, a marker buoy) you fix yourself; major stuff (engine, rig, sail damage) the base handles. Damage deposit covers your-fault; insurance covers everything else.
Do I get a briefing?
Yes — 90-minute walkthrough on Saturday morning. Boat systems, chart pack, local rules. Bring all licensed skippers.
How much should I budget on top of the week-rate?
Plan for +25-40%. Damage deposit (refundable, ~€2,500), fuel (~€250), marina fees if you berth (€80-180/night), tourist tax (€2/person/night), food + drink. Frugal week +20%, luxe week +60%.
Can I one-way?
Sometimes — there's a one-way fee (€200-€600). Croatia and Greece have good one-way options; Caribbean rarely.
Slovenia · Bareboat.
Slovenia's coast is short — 46km from the Italian border to Croatia — and that's the honest starting point. This is not a week of island-hopping. It's a compact stretch of the northern Adriatic with three working harbours, a Venetian old town at Piran, and easy hops into Italian and Croatian waters within a day's sail. We rate it as a base rather than a destination in itself: berth in Slovenia, then range out to Trieste, Grado, the Istrian ports at Umag and Rovinj, or the offshore reefs. The water is greener than the southern Adriatic, the marinas are calm, and the whole coast is walkable. Right for first charterers, families, and anyone who wants a short crossing to Croatian Istria without the long delivery. Less right for those chasing distance or a dozen anchorages a week.
Sailing it yourself — licences, navigation and anchorages
Bareboat means you skipper. You'll need a recognised licence (ICC + VHF, RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104+) and a confident hand aboard — if no one on the crew is qualified, take the same yacht skippered and our captain drives.
We brief you on the local navigation: the channels and headlands that funnel the wind, where to anchor versus take a mooring, provisioning ports, and the best first-timer route versus the longer run for experienced crews.
