Frequently asked questions

What happens when I request a quote?
Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.
When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?
The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.
What is the Charter Fee?
The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.
Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Catamaran Rentals in Pula: Explore Croatia's Roman Coast

Pula is where Roman history meets the Adriatic Sea. A catamaran rental in Pula offers a different vibe than the south; think green pine forests, truffle pasta, and ancient ruins. Launching from Marina Veruda, you have immediate access to the Brijuni National Park and the sandy islands of the Kvarner Gulf.

Why Rent a Catamaran in Pula?

National Park Access: The Brijuni Islands are a must-visit. Once the private summer residence of Tito, today you can sail your catamaran there, moor up, and take a train tour past zebras and 2,000-year-old Roman villas.

  • Sandy Beaches: Pula is the jumping-off point for Susak, a unique island made entirely of sand. It's a rare find in Croatia's rocky landscape and perfect for kids.
  • Protected Waters: While the Kvarner Gulf can be breezy, the area around Pula and the Medulin archipelago offers plenty of sheltered bays for swimming and anchoring.
  • Food & Wine: Istria is the culinary capital of Croatia. Chartering here means you are never far from world-class olive oil, white truffles, and fresh seafood.
Captain's Insider Tip: "When crossing from Istria to the islands of Cres or Unije, check the forecast. The Kvarner Gulf is open water. If the 'Bura' wind is blowing, stay close to the Istrian coast and explore the bays of Cape Kamenjak instead—the Safari Bar there is legendary."

Top-Rated Catamarans in Pula

Our Pula fleet includes the latest models from top French shipyards. Here are three popular choices:

  • Excess 11: Perfect for sailors who want performance. It has twin helm stations at the back, giving you great visibility and a thrilling sailing experience without sacrificing space.
  • Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42: Known for its 'beach club' feel. The cockpit flows seamlessly into the salon, and the hydraulic swim platform is great for launching water toys.
  • Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47: The ultimate host. With a massive flybridge and a galley designed for entertaining, this is the boat for large groups who want to travel in style.

Logistics

Getting There: Pula Airport (PUY) is very convenient, but you can also fly into Venice or Trieste (Italy) and drive down. The drive from Venice is about 3 hours and very scenic.
