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.

We have never completed formalities in the office so quickly (deposit, documents...), very efficient boss.
After a short wait, a friendly sailor Ivan showed us around and explained everything on the Kiss the Life sailing boat. Despite the heat and steam, and with an injured hand, Ivan devoted himself 100% to us.
The sailing boat had new sails and was really fast with the wind on its side. In general, it was well maintained.
Disadvantage 1:
When I booked from home, I saw that this boat would not have solar panels, which means an additional two hours of idling at anchor every day so that the voltage does not drop below 12V if the refrigerator is on. Not a big deal, because a few extra liters of oil to produce electricity is cheaper than a sailing boat with solar panels.
Shortcoming 2:
The boss could perhaps ask the D-Marina lift operator to move the lift 20 m towards the sea to make it easier to get to pier A = currently the passage is limited and unsightly (photo attached)
When I was returning to the marina, the bora was blowing, because the boat does not have a bowthruster, they offered me a landing on the outer pier, which made the entry maneuver much easier. They patiently advised me on the right way.
I made a good decision regarding WY - I recommend it, also because I watched the neighboring teams on the boats how professionally (= with coolness) they defended the damage caused by other guests.

I have rented from Dubravko and his team at World Yachting Charter multiple times - in fact I will do so even this year. I come back as the boats are new and well maintained, but first and foremost I come back because the team offer great service, all the way from booking and confirmation through handover, and support along the way.
As a sailor, I know that "sh.t happens", and with the heavy use of a charter boat, combined with brief turn-over times, (and rental skippers not always communicating mishaps) problems might of course go undetected by staff. This has affected us as well when renting. (Once a damaged waste pump.)
To me, what is essential, and the reason I give www.worldyachting.hr a five star review, is the professionalism they show when a customer experience a problem. Their crew is solution oriented and experienced. Through the years they have earned my full confidence and always done great efforts to ensure a great holiday experience for me and my crew.
Furthermore, renting from their base in Sibenik sets you a bit away from the crowds around Split/Trogir and closer to the beautiful Kornati archipelago.

First part of my review, relating to the rental procedure and request for information: helpful team, arranged the best solution for us without trying to maximize extra costs, which I appreciated.

Second part, after the cruise: we found a friendly, helpful and competent team, both in the office and on the piers. All of our requests were kindly discussed and, as far as possible, satisfied. The sailing boat (2020) was in excellent condition (some minor glitches, which is normal for a charter boat, heavily used under the season), clean and ready.
When I rent a sailboat, I focus on the sailing aspects: the deck equipment was in very good condition; mainsail and jib were in perfect working order (we didn't rent a gennaker, because the expected wind conditions were not suitable); no hidden flaws.

Excellent charter, verry polite and professional crew, and variety of vessels, great prices and flexibility. Laura in the office and Darijo on the dock were very friendly and helpfull.

A thoroughly successful charter. We were in Sibenek from May 18th to 25th, 2024, and chartered a boat there for a week. We were all completely satisfied with the condition of the boat (Hanse 508), the cleanliness of the facilities, and the service from World Yachting Charter. Many thanks to Laura and Alex!

Great charter experience. Amazing team. Thanks !

What a quality of the boat! 10/10 – everything just perfect. Elan First Edition is a pure pleasure to sail. Service and yacht maintenance – absolutely best in class.
