Slovenia · Crewed
Sailing yachtWhat does the hostess do?
Plans meals (from your preferences), provisions ashore with the captain, cooks 1-2 meals/day, makes beds, services cabins, cleans the saloon. Bigger boats have dedicated chef + separate hostess.
Can we have specific food preferences?
Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, kid-friendly: tell us when you book. Last-minute requests are easy too.
How much do we tip?
5-15% of charter fee, end of week, in cash. The captain typically distributes.
Can we drink the bar dry?
Within reason. Standard wine + beer comes with the trip; for top-shelf gin or specific Burgundy, factor it into the APA.
Is the crew always around?
They give you privacy. Captain on watch at the helm, hostess in the galley or her cabin. You get the cockpit and deck to yourselves outside of meals.
Slovenia · Crewed.
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.
Living aboard — the skipper does the work
A crewed charter is the full sailing holiday with none of the workload: a professional skipper (and on larger yachts a hostess and chef) handles the sailing, the cooking and the logistics while you relax.
It suits families, groups and anyone who wants to wake up in a new bay each morning without lifting a winch — multi-day, sleeping aboard, the itinerary shaped around you.
