Imagine you are at sea, surrounded by nothing but clear blue sky, a gentle breeze, and crystal-clear sea. Soothing, isn't it? It's moments like these that make sailing so similar to meditation, allowing you to spend some quality time with yourself and enjoy some much-needed peace. But there are other similarities, too. Both activities will require you to find the right balance and then focus on how to maintain it. Both activities also require strength and stamina, both mentally and physically, if you are to be successful. This is why sailing is so good for bringing peace and tranquillity into your life, so go ahead and charter a vessel if you need some quality relaxation. Here's how to make the most of it!

If you are one of those who love the sea and you are a bit of an adventurous spirit, then you have undoubtedly considered sailing as an option to spend your vacation. Sailing is one of those activities that provide a deep sense of relaxation and connection with nature. In Croatia, as a country with over 1000 islands, sailing is a unique experience.

Cancellation conditions If borders are open and mandatory quarantine can be avoided by tests, free cancellation is not possible. In the event that the borders close before the start of your rental, partners in Croatia are ready to issue a letter of credit in the amount already paid (credit is valid for the nautical season 2021, some partners also offer credit for 2022). Partners also offer the option of credit if you are placed in mandatory quarantine and cannot take a test to avoid it. If the new term/vessel is more expensive than the originally selected one, you have to pay the difference in price. Credit can be used for a new sailboat rental exclusively within the fleet of the selected charter operator. If the new chosen date is cheaper, some charter operators refund the difference. If you wish to cancel a booking for subjective reasons (for example, fear of infection), cancellation is only possible in accordance with the general terms and conditions of the charter operator.

When it comes to nautical tourism in Croatia, it's the early bird that gets the worm. Indeed, there are many advantages in early booking in this particular field, not just in the form of a discount. You will be able to plan your trip in greater detail and nail down all the details you really want from your vacation. Not to mention the excitement of knowing that your vacation is all set up and counting the days leading up to it. But let's discuss that and much more in greater detail to know what precisely you can get if you opt for this kind of reservation.

A year ago, you probably didn't expect things to play out this way. Still, given the global pandemic, which is the whole world in a chokehold right now, it's time to start thinking about how nautical tourism and the coronavirus can coexist. Fortunately, the very nature of this type of tourism makes it very resilient to the current situation. As a matter of fact, one might even argue that it can quite reliably keep you safe.

Pirovac is a picturesque small town located 20 km south from Biograd nm. It’s a small, well known fishermen’s village with a protected port, where a beautiful modern marina was built a couple of years ago. Despite being small, the marina is equipped with all the necessary facilities, and you can find a supermarket, pharmacy, bank, ATM, restaurants, as well as many coffee shops, nearby. This means that you can find everything you need in the marina or its vicinity. Shorter check-in time is definitely a great advantage in this marina. But, if it so happens that you must wait until afternoon hours, we recommend you go on a trip to Krka National Park or Vrana Lake, which are both near the marina.
