What is a Catamaran

Catamarans are multihull vessels that typically have two parallel hulls of equal size and are used for sailing and motor cruising. Ranging in length from approximately 14 to 100 feet, they are typically sail-powered with engines for maneuvering. Their design makes them particularly stable while providing a spacious layout that includes more usable deck space. As the hulls are connected by a platform or bridge deck, there is a spacious open area for relaxing or socializing. With a shallow draft, catamarans can also access smaller bodies of water, which opens up more destination possibilities, such as anchoring in a secluded bay. Ideal for getaways that involve a variety of activities, such as kayaking and snorkeling, they’re especially popular for group and family trips. A catamaran is one of the most popular boat types for sailing or cruising due to its size, luxuries, smooth performance, comfort, and space.

Catamaran Catering

Catamaran's Catering

On a catamaran trip, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is charged in addition to the cost of the charter. This is a payment made in advance that covers onboard expenses, which include food and drinks that are provided on a half-board basis, along with other operational costs. Guests are typically provided with a preference sheet, outlining any specific likes and dislikes, special diets such as gluten-free or vegetarian, and/or any allergies before the trip. The chef will use this information to create custom menus, perhaps making modifications to dishes or creating entirely new ones to ensure the dietary needs and preferences of all guests are catered to. Although many necessary ingredients may be stocked for the trip, chefs often source fresh, local ingredients from markets at the stops visited along the way as well. Guests can also specify beverage preferences, including the preferred types of wine, beer, spirits, and soft drinks.

Solta

Catamaran's Excursions

Excursions while sailing on a catamaran generally come at an additional cost. The crew will organize them, but the guests pay the company or the individual who hosts it. While the options available depend on the destination, it’s common for crews to collaborate with local tour companies, serving as a bridge between guests and high-quality experiences. Crew members and other staff often build relationships with a network of suppliers in destinations that are commonly visited to ensure the highest quality experiences. You may already know what you’d like to see and do, but the crew can make recommendations while considering the preferences of all guests. Excursions might range from visits to historic landmarks and archaeological sites to wine tasting while chatting with the winemaker and cooking classes hosted in a local’s home. Outdoor adventures are common too, such as hiking, biking, kayaking, and ziplining, with detailed itineraries provided before the departure date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, the skipper is provided with their own stern cabin on the catamaran to use throughout the duration of the sailing charter, although a cabin in the bow may be possible. While it’s best to assume your skipper will require a stern cabin, anything other than this usual agreement may be agreed upon before booking your charter (with discretion).

Skippers on catamarans in Croatia are often early risers, bunking down early after a long day of sailing. They are also professionals who are very good at reading various social situations in all charter types, so they will interact with different groups of people in different ways. The level of interaction is entirely up to the group during your Croatia itinerary; for example, if you and your group decide to ask the skipper to join you for evening fun, they may accept your invitation or decide to stay onboard and wait for everyone to return.

Tipping your skipper is highly recommended, with the customary guideline 15 to 20 percent of the skipper’s fee, although as that is so wide ranging, this is at your discretion. Skippers on charters can add immense value to the overall charter experience; therefore, we ask request that you provide the appropriate gratuity you believe the skipper deserves. It will be a sailing charter to remember!

While our skippers can from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, all speak English at a high level, ensuring your charter in Croatia will not be hindered in any way. Any of the boats from our charter fleet will match this standard. Onboard the crewed yacht charter, the vast majority tend to be outstanding communicators who speak superb English. Oftentimes, with the skipper being a local to the region in which you’re traveling, knowing the local language can be a big benefit to those on board, but all will also speak English to a level that is more than acceptable.

An experienced, fully qualified and commercially endorsed skipper will have a ton of local knowledge to share that can significantly enhance the trip. These expert sailors provide many benefits with the ability to recommend the best spots for charter regions, charter types, for mooring, the optimal times to visit certain destinations, where to dine, and more. The skipper will also know the charter fleet inside out – skippering Croatia charter vessels is their job, so it comes as second nature. They can also teach you new sailing skills or even help you rediscover confidence at the helm while also providing an extra pair of hands when it comes to any difficult chores such as heavy lifting.

As the skipper is the one officially in charge of handling the catamaran, the skipper will be responsible for any damage that might be caused on one of the charters by sailing, motor sailers, anchoring, or manoeuvring, provided that it is attributed to their own actions, whether negligent or willful. As the charterer on the motor yacht charter, you will be assuming full responsibility for your guests and are liable should either you or your guests cause damage to the boat during charter vacations.
