If you like watersports, Tucepi Beach is a great option, and if you want to snorkel, go to Punta Kriza, a rocky beach with glassy waters. Finally, you can't go wrong with a visit to the bustling Baska Voda Beach, which offers a range of restaurants and cafes that line the promenade.

At this time, the weather will be warm, and in the summer months, temperatures are at a high average of 26°C, perfect for swimming at the beach! If you aren't bothered by slightly cooler weather, we recommend avoiding the summer and visiting in May or September. You'll still have temperatures around 20°C and beat the high-season crowds.

Do I need to rent a boat in Makarska with a skipper?

Even if you have a licence to sail, there are plenty of benefits to having a skipper present on your yacht charter in Makarska. Skippers are nautical experts and licenced professionals who will handle all the logistics so that you can focus on having fun and enjoying your holiday. They will dock, anchor and sail the vessel for you, and because they are locals of the area, they can take you to see some hidden gems that most tourists don't know about. See Makarska from a local's perspective and sail in the safe hands of a skipper on your next holiday!

Which type of vessel is best for a Makarska boat rental?

The type of vessel you choose for your boat rental in Makarska will depend on the amount of time you plan to spend on board. If you only want to sail for a few days and don't need to sleep on board, then a daily charter such as a motorboat or RIB is a good option.

For a more extended holiday with family or friends, you'll need a more spacious vessel like a catamaran or a yacht, typically rented by the week. These vessels are also fully equipped with amenities such as a kitchen, cabin and bathroom to ensure you are comfortable on the water. For a more luxurious sailing experience, you might opt for a gulet and, for a traditional one, a sailboat. However, we recommend choosing one with a skipper on board, as they can be tricky to navigate.
