How much does it cost to hire a professional crew?

The crew fee depends on the boat type and size.

Skipper 1.200 - 2.000 €/week + food
Hostess 1.200 - 1.500 €/week + food
Chef 1.400 - 2.000 €/week + food

The client will cover the food for the crew.

Fuel costs

This cost depends on the boat model/engine; smaller boats consume less fuel than bigger sailing boats and catamarans, especially if they are equipped with a generator. Approximate fuel costs:

Sailboats up to 45' 150 - 200 €/week
Sailboats above 50' 200 - 350 €/week
Catamarans up to 45' 300 - 400 €/week
Catamarans above 45' 500 -1000 €/week
Motor yachts consume more fuel than sailboats and catamarans, and fuel is the major extra cost. The consumption depends on engine power, cruising speed, yacht size, tonnage, etc.
When chartering a Luxury motor yacht or Super Yacht, the fuel consumption is covered by the APA which is 30-40% of the yacht charter price.

Port and marina fees

Mooring fees depend on the size of the boat, sailing period, and location, but you can choose between the following mooring options: a berth in the marina, a berth in the city ports on a jetty, or mooring buoy

a berth in the marinas for mono-hulls 70-200 €/day, for catamarans, is usually + 50%-100%
a berth in the city ports for mono-hulls 50-150 €/day, for catamarans, is usually double the price
mooring buoy appx. 50-100 € / day
anchoring in Croatia is free; however, if you anchor in an area that is under a concession, you will be asked to pay
For prices at ACI Marinas, you can check directly on their websites.

Food and drinks

Clients who charter a bareboat usually prepare breakfast and lunch on the boat and dinner outside in the local restaurants and taverns. If you decide to have dinner out at a restaurant, you can expect to pay 30-50 €/person. Of course, this can be far more expensive if you enjoy your meals in high-end restaurants. You can order food and drinks in advance to be delivered on the boat, or you can make the provisions yourself upon arrival at the nearby supermarkets. Order provisioning here and save some time and energy.

We suggest buying water and drinks for the whole week and food for the first two days, which is the minimum you should have on board. You can buy fresh products on the islands for the rest of the week. If you hire the crew, you must ensure they have three meals a day, and at least one should be a cooked meal (on the boat, in a restaurant, or you can pay them extra for food, 40 €/ day/ crew member). For more info and provisioning tips, see here.

If you are chartering a crewed yacht and paying the APA ( Advance Provision Allowance), the APA covers all mentioned costs. This allowance is 30-40% of the yacht charter price.

You can find more tips and info about boat provisioning and cooking on the boat here.

Car Parking

Car parking is not included in the yacht rental price. This is the extra cost, paid directly to the marina reception. Appx 50 -70 EUR per week, per car.
