We have two options:

You can upgrade this option with a hostess service and inclusions of your preference.

Clients usually book a hostess service for extra relaxing and a care-free sailing holiday in Croatia. Together with our local skipper, they will make sure that your Croatia sailing trip is and indulging and a one-of a-kind experience.
Here are some basic assignments that a hostess does:
- keeping all areas on yacht clean and tidy
- handling the provisioning throughout the trip (shopping for supplies, taking care of fresh food before and during your trip)
- she prepares and serves two light meals daily (breakfast and one simple lunch). Extra meals are option with an additional fee.
- washes the dishes, cleans the galley and salon
Tip 1: We advise, that you give her some APA money (advanced provisioning allowance) so that she has enough to pay for the daily shopping.
Tip 2: When you hire a hostess you already get 2 meals included. That gives you more free time to explore the islands and have your dinner outside. Especially if you wish to taste Dalmatian specialties in typical family-run taverns called "konoba". With their local knowledge and experience, a hostess will be happy to recommend best local restaurants.
TIP3: If you wish to hire catamaran in Croatia with multilingual crew, book ASAP, since they get booked very fast!
