Rent a boat with or without a skipper

Many of our boat charters in Istria County come with the option of sailing with a skipper and/or crew. Although this may come at an extra cost, having a skipper on board can, no doubt, provide you with an even more enjoyable experience! Your skipper can adapt the sailing route so that your voyage best suits the desires of you and the rest of your party.

Additionally, setting sail with a skipper will make your voyage even more comfortable! The skipper will take care of all the technical aspects of sailing, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Istria County, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

The best time for exciting boat adventures in Istria County is during the summer, from June to August. It's warm and lovely, with temperatures ranging from the 70s to 80s °F. This weather is perfect for sailing and enjoying the water.

If you prefer a quieter vibe but still want good weather, consider visiting in May and September. These months are like the edges of summer, and temperatures are around the 60s to 70s °F. You can still have a great time sailing and exploring Istria's beautiful coastline. Just remember, weather can change, so checking the forecast before you set sail is a smart idea!

What type of boat is best for an Istria County boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Istria County, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Istria County boat charter!
