Sailing License regulations in Croatia

A Sailing license for yacht charter in Croatia is a legal requirement if you plan to operate a boat yourself – along with a valid VHF radio certificate, it’s essential for a smooth and compliant sailing experience.

Fortunately, Croatia recognizes a wide range of international certificates, so there’s a good chance your existing license will be valid. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just beginning your nautical journey, it’s always best to double-check in advance. You can consult the full list of accepted licenses published by the Croatian Ministry of the Sea.

Don’t have a valid license? No worries. If you or your crew don’t hold the necessary certification, we’ll be happy to match you with an experienced local skipper. Just select the skipper option as an extra during the booking process. Not only does this ensure legal compliance, but it also gives you peace of mind and lets you fully enjoy the Adriatic coast without the stress of navigation.
