Do I need a boat licence to rent a boat?
For most of our boats, yes – the person at the helm needs a valid boat licence (the Croatian "voditelj brodice" or an equivalent licence recognised in Croatia). Under Croatian rules, small rented boats of up to 5 kW (about 6.8 HP) and up to 5 m in length may be driven by adults without a licence close to the shore. No licence? Simply book a boat with one of our skippers.
Can we visit the Kornati National Park with a rental boat?
Absolutely – Murter is the traditional gateway to the Kornati. Every boat entering the national park needs a valid park ticket; ask us about the current prices and the best route for the weather of the day.
Can I rent a boat with a skipper?
Yes. Any boat can be booked with a professional local skipper, who will take you to the best bays and back – ideal if you want to relax or don't hold a licence.
Are the prices per person?
No – all prices are per boat or scooter. Tell us your dates and we'll send a complete offer, including fuel, deposit and any extras.
How do I book?
Open the boat or scooter you like and send the availability form with your dates. We reply by e-mail or phone to confirm. In July and August we recommend booking early.
What do I need to rent a scooter?
A valid driving licence for the scooter category and an ID document. Wearing a helmet is mandatory in Croatia.
