Amazing Team and great experience! Petar, Franek and Laura are doing an amazing Job! We rented a Bali 4.1 for two weeks and despite minor hickups the experience has been nothing but a pleasure. World Yachting Charter has been the best Charting experience in Croatia by far! Clean and tidy boats, hassle free Check- in and Out and really friendly and helpful staff! We felt well supported all the Time! Thank you very much, we will charter with them again gor sure!

We rented an Elan 45.1 Impression from World Yachting via Amorgos (NL). They were a fantastic organization; we received a warm welcome upon arrival, received clear information, and had a helpful and professional team. This was evident in the excellent care we received for our boat, the smooth check-in process, and the smooth handling of any damage we sustained upon return (check-out). I would definitely rent a boat from World Yachting again. Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Voyage with World Yachting on SeaBee!

My family and I had an extraordinary experience with World Yachting. Their service was second to none, always demonstrating utmost professionalism and friendliness that surpassed our expectations. Our vessel of choice, the "SeaBee" (Elan I43), was in immaculate condition, evidently well maintained, and superbly equipped for a sailing adventure.

The SeaBee offered surprising dimensions, exceeding 45 feet, a figure much grander than its name might suggest. It boasted three refrigerators, perfect for storing provisions for our sea expedition. The additional by-boat was an excellent bonus, offering us even more flexibility in our marine explorations.

Navigation was made a breeze thanks to the fantastic navigation system onboard, and the radar ensured our voyage was safe and secure. But it wasn't just the equipment that impressed us; it was the complete package that the SeaBee represented, ensuring our comfort and delight at every turn of our journey.

Our exploration of the spectacular archipelago around Šibenik and the breathtaking Kornati National Park was facilitated by the SeaBee's commendable capabilities. The locations, an hour's reach from each other, were stunning, enriching our family trip with unforgettable memories. The sheer joy of sailing in the magnificent Croatian seascape is something that we will treasure forever.

In essence, I wholeheartedly recommend World Yachting and the SeaBee (Elan I43) to anyone seeking to explore the beauty of Croatia. This voyage proved to be the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and family bonding. In my view, there truly isn't a better way to experience the majesty of Croatia than from the sea, aboard a chartered yacht from World Yachting. I'm confident that like us, you'll return home with a heart full of joy and a head filled with precious memories. Thank you, World Yachting, for an unforgettable journey!

Rent and skipper a sailing yacht with World Yachting Charter was a beautiful experience. The staff (Dome) was very helpful and willing to show all functionalities of the boat. The yacht (Sun Odyssey 409 | Stellina 2) is after renovation with completely new sails (lazy bag mainsail with genoa). The engine worked perfectly. New cockpit bimini protected all the crew members against sunburn. I was very satisfied with the skipper tools provided (all Croatian charts, maps of ports, harnesses, toolkit of screewdrivers and allen keys, day shapes, mast climbing equipment ...). I am looking foward to rent a yacht with them next year again.

Best charter ever. Extremely friendly, professional and responsive. The quality of the sailing boat was great, the equipment was well-maintained. We accidentally forgot e-reader and licences when we left the boat. The charter found it and sent it to our home address, which I found really nice.

It is always a great day to come sailing with us in Croatia

Depending on the age of your family – adults, teens or pre-teens we’ll recommend the area to sail in and suggest some islands in Croatia to consider based on our experience and feedback from running family sailing holidays.

Family sailing holidays are a perfect holiday for young children, teenagers and parents alike. Each family member can choose whether they want to play an active part in sailing or equally do nothing at all and relax on the bow of the boat while reading a good book. Once in port or at anchor the more active family members can explore the new surroundings on land or by snorkeling around the boat while the rest of the family can either relax on the boat or at a local tavern!

We can offer a wide range of tailor made family sailing holiday packages including Family Friendly Flotillas and Learn to Sail Holidays for new and inexperienced families. If you’re confident sailors then why not join a Family Flotilla Holidays? We have flotillas that are specifically orientated towards families with an Activity Coordinator on the lead boat who will provide entertainment and activities for the children while the parents can relax.

If you would prefer to stay ashore then we have a wide range of dinghy and beach resort family sailing holiday packages available, ranging from cheap self-catered apartments to luxurious hotels with picturesque sea views and spa treatment facilities on site.

World Yachting Charter is independent sailing agency and our crew over the years started to specialize in family sailing holidays. Instead of you having to spend hours emailing dozens of companies, simply send us an email and we’ll tailor make a holiday for you, we do the leg work so you don’t have to. We are nice helpful people with a hard working crew who are more than happy to share advice.
