Looking for the perfect escape and holiday? A crewed yacht charter in Croatia might be your answer. Instead of booking an all-inclusive resort experience, consider chartering a crewed yacht that offers privacy and is a holiday tailored specifically for you. On a sailing holiday and crewed yacht charter, you set the itinerary, the chef caters to your preferences, and the dedicated crew are there for you 24/7. Here are a few more reasons why you should book a crewed yacht charter in Croatia in 2021.
Local Knowledge
With a crewed yacht charter, your local crew will happily share information and stories about the surroundings, history, and culture. This knowledge also goes for the best destinations, restaurants, nightlife, boutique shops… Every traveler knows that traveling with a local is the best way to experience a destination. On your luxury sailing yacht or gulet, your dedicated crew will do everything they can to go above and beyond.
Avoid the Crowds
The best part of a crewed yacht charter is that you can avoid the crowds. Given the current climate with Covid-19, the intimate setting of a crewed yacht charter offers added peace of mind. Your Captain and crew know the best places to anchor, beautiful off-the-beaten-path destinations, all while avoiding the crowds. If you want to go out for dinner or the nightlife, your crew can limit the fuss by arranging all transport – whether by tender directly to the venue or private transport.
Your crew also knows the best times to visit certain attractions to beat the crowds or they can arrange VIP treatment to skip the lines and crowds altogether. It should go without saying that spending days anchored in bays and exploring the stunning nature of Croatia is one of the absolute highlights of a yacht charter – total peace, privacy, and relaxation. If comfort and privacy are important to you, a crewed yacht charter is exactly what you need.
Five Star Service
All of the luxury yachts and gulets we work with, pride themselves on delivering exceptional service, and at Otium Yachts, we pride ourselves on only working with the best in the industry. The crew aboard your yacht are there for you 24/7. The crew receives a preference list before you embark, so they are already aware of your likes, dislikes, and wishes. The steward(ess) is there to entertain, serve, clean, to whip up your favorite cocktail, and everything in between. The deckhands keep the exterior of the yacht perfectly maintained, will take you ashore in the tender or entertain you with water-sports. Your private chef will cook traditional and gastronomical delights for you day-after-day, with a menu crafted to your preferences. And, the Captain, while (mostly) in the background will be available to speak about the itinerary daily and has your safety and comfort in mind at all times. With requests, there is also the option to get aboard a masseuse, yoga instructor, or whatever you can think of; this is your holiday to be designed exactly how you want it. Every year, our yachts have return clients which is largely due to the service and crew.
Idyllic Locations
With a crewed yacht charter in Croatia, you will be able to visit many idyllic locations – whether you choose to sail a Northern, Central, or Southern route. You may come to Croatia with an itinerary plan in mind or you can come with an open mind and let your experienced crew guide you. Once your Captain and crew know your preferences and vibe, they will be able to make personal recommendations, showing you the best of Croatia. Unlike a resort, you can be in a new destination every day. Also, unlike a cruise ship, a yacht charter lets you adapt the schedule – if you love one island or city, you can always stay longer. This is your sailing holiday, your way, and your crew is there to make sure it is your best and most memorable holiday.
Activities
All of our yachts have a variety of equipment aboard to keep you entertained, from fishing and snorkel equipment to SUP boards, kayaks, or water-sports like water skiing and wakeboarding. Your captain will find the best anchorage so you can enjoy swimming in a secluded bay and the sailors will happily help you or your children with the water toys. If you fancy other activities ashore, your stewardess will make recommendations or take care of details, from bike tours to wine tastings. Again, the beauty of having a local crew is that they know the best places to do everything, as well as the best guides and vendors to work with.
