How does it work?
Before your departure, you will receive all the details and information about flotilla trip in your boarding pass. The shuttle bus will be already waiting at the Zadar airport to transfer you to the base port. After arriving to one of the outgoing ports Biograd or Sukošan, your lead crew will welcome you at the embarkation point.
Your skippers will first have a short meeting with our organizing team. If you arrive too early, you will probably have some extra time to stock the boat's lockers. Grocery shop is at the marina facility. And don't worry, there will be lots of opportunities to supply the boat's lockers along the way.
There are some basic items already included in your bareboat charter. Flotilla holiday welcome package (sponges, paper towels, garbage bags,...) is already on board, including the yacht charter security deposit.
The usual boarding time is after 4:00 PM. After settling into your cabins, skipper will give you all the assistance you need to settle in brief you with the basics, route details, safety procedures and show you around the yacht.
Now it is time to hoist those sails, start to enjoy, relax and sail all your worries away gliding across the blue waters of glittering Adriatic. Our flotillas usually sail on the line of sight navigation, keeping our daily distances small with lots of stops in amazing coves. Every day skipper will update the you with the route details and advise you with the daily dynamics.
