Modern charter boats with professional crews offer a supreme experience of a nautical vacation where every detail becomes unforgettable. Through a unique combination of luxury, comfort, and personalized service, crewed charters provide what no hotel or traditional vacation can – complete freedom to explore the most beautiful bays and islands with maximum comfort.
Filip Vargović, captain of the impressive Bali 5.4 Marea at Croatia Yachting, convinced us with his personal story. So, what does it look like to be a yacht captain?
Filip's workday begins idyllically: morning coffee, checking the forecast, preparing the boat, and setting sail for a new adventure.
"The sea is my freedom and therapy. I love it most during the preseason and postseason when I feel its true rhythm. And I have wonderful anecdotes for at least one thick book!" says Captain Filip, whom we asked for a recommendation for those considering chartering: "Definitely a crewed boat, because then it's truly a year-round vacation – everything is cooked, washed, tidy, and safe. Let the captain guide you. Croatia is full of hidden gems."
The professional crew on the charter boat takes care of everything – from navigation and anchoring to preparing gourmet meals and maintaining the cleanliness of the boat. While guests enjoy swimming in a hidden bay or discovering the charms of nearby places, the crew discreetly prepares the next destination, ensuring that every moment is enjoyable.
Luxury catamarans like the Bali 5.4, Bali 5.8, Lagoon 60, and Sunreef 60 play a significant role in this, with impressive spaces – spacious sun decks, kitchens with the latest appliances, air-conditioned cabins, and jacuzzis. However, the real wealth comes from the human factor of the Croatia Yachting team – through personal recommendations of hidden locations, customized menus according to guests' wishes, and small touches that turn the journey into an experience.
For those who value quality, privacy, and carefree living, crewed yacht charters represent the perfect blend of adventure and luxury. At the end of the day, as the sun sets into the sea and the crew, led by Captain Filip, discreetly prepares dinner on the deck, it becomes clear – this is not just a way of traveling, it is the privilege of experiencing the sea in its most authentic way.
