Activity Yachting Holidays Flotilla/Bareboat Programme:
In order to offer a greater choice of yachts and availability, as well as not being limited to just those in our own fleet, we can book yachts from one of the local bareboat companies that we work regularly with, but to then arrange it so that this yacht joins our flotilla. This arrangement works as follows.
-
Having established the individual requirements, we recommend a suitable yacht, which we then book from one of the local bareboat specialists on Murter, who offer a very good choice of yachts from 30ft to 50ft. These yachts are all fully equipped for bareboat charter, with yachts ranging from a few years old to the latest models available.
-
The yacht prices, naturally will vary depending on the particular yacht chosen, and will include a small additional fee, over the normal Bareboat price, to cover the costs of joining the flotilla.
-
Yachts must always be taken from a Saturday to a Saturday, which is the same day that our flotilla operates. There are three marinas on Murter from where we can take these yachts. One is Betina Marina where our flotilla is based. The second is Marina Hramina, about a ten minute walk from Betina, while the third is Jezera Marina, on the south of Murter and is about four miles from Betina.
-
Activity Yachting Holidays books the yacht from the supplier acting as an agent of the local supplier, and then arranges that this yacht can join one of the Activity Yachting Flotillas, and sail as part of that flotilla for the charter period. All normal flotilla services, such as briefings, lead skippers, and the social side etc are included, with the only exception being that, any issues with the yacht must be dealt with by the staff of the bareboat charter company, rather than our flotilla staff.
-
All check in and out procedures for the yacht are taken care of by the local supplier, who treats this booking in the same way as they do for any other Bareboat booking and takes full responsibility for the check in, the check out and provides full back up for the duration of the charter. All normal bareboat charter conditions regarding either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable insurance option apply, and yachts must be brought back with a full tank of fuel. To take one of these yachts the skipper must be qualified and ideally have a VHF licence. As with any Bareboat charter any specific instructions from the yacht yacht supplier, regarding the operation of the yacht, or any other relevant issues must be adhered to.
-
For the flotilla if the yacht is being taken from either Betina or Hramina marina, then you are available to attend all first morning briefings etc. For yachts from Jezera an information pack will be left for you explaining how things work as well as giving details of how and where to join the group on the first day. To join the group on the last night for a farewell meal then a taxi is usually required to get to Murter from Jezera, but this is optional and not very expensive.
-
Please note that anybody taking one of these Flotilla/Bareboat options is totally free to leave the flotilla at any time, in which case you then continue to sail as a normal bareboat. This flexibility particularly appeals to experienced sailors new to Croatia, that like the flotilla support while they get used to the area, but then want the freedom to be able to then go off and do their own thing, and perhaps sail outside of our normal flotilla area, whenever they want. Please note however that once you do go away from the flotilla, you cannot call on the flotilla for assistance in case of any problems but must rely on the Bareboat supplier for this. All Bareboat companies however are geared up to deal with any problems, and these are rare.
On peak season dates we generally operate two flotillas to allow for extra yachts and to keep the over all group sizes manageable. We have included a selection of Bareboat/Flotilla yachts and prices on our web site as a guide, and please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss any specific requirements.
