A week on a yacht in Croatia reconnects you to nature, simplicity, and pure exhilaration—and leaves you wanting more.

Skipper's License

A valid skipper’s license is required to charter a yacht, as regulated by the Croatian Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure.

To charter a yacht bareboat, you must present:

A recognized skipper’s license (such as ICC, RYA, IYT, ASA, or other national equivalents).

A valid VHF/GMDSS radio operator certificate.

In practice, the Israeli skipper’s license (Mishit 30 or higher) is accepted by most charter companies in Croatia, provided you show the original license — and sometimes an official English translation.
However, it’s always best to confirm directly with your charter company before booking, as some may have stricter documentation requirements.

ACI marinas in the heart of the action for smooth operations and easy top-ups.
Where sea meets mountains—Kornati delivers a pure “wow.”

ACI marinas line the route like convenient “fuel stops” for sailors.
