FLOTILLA PROGRAM – in Dalmatia from base
Split, Kastela, Murter, Zadar, Biograd,
Dubrovnik or other embarkation marinas
- A
flotilla consists of a group (around five
and maximum twelve boats) of sailboats -usually
from 27 to 36 feet, which all follow the same
itinerary accompanied by a flotilla skipper on
the lead yacht.
- You have virtually all the advantages
of independent cruising, plus the support of
experienced help if you need it.
- You are not allowed to sail your own
route.
- All yachts depart from the same harbor
or port and sail together the suggested
itinerary route.
- The boat can be chosen from 30 – 54
foot, depending of the number of crew members in
your group.
- We offer a variety of sailing boats in
excellent condition and which fulfill all the
Croatian safety regulations.
- The flotilla leader also gives
technical help if necessary. Even experienced
sailors often choose to go with a flotilla
because of the social advantage of sailing in a
group. The assistance provided and the large
number of people in a flotilla group, has made
this type of sailing holiday popular for
families or bigger groups of friends.
- All flotillas are 7 or 14 days, while
holidays of 10 or 21 days are more difficult to
find.
- For flotilla charters, there should
usually be at least one person certified with an
internationally recognized boat license on board
(RYA Day Skipper, ICC or equivalent), and at
least one qualified crew member with Radio
Communication license.
ABOUT LEAD SKIPPER
On the lead yacht there is your flotilla
professional leader who organizes regular
meetings for all. He will inform you about the
weather conditions, the route, possible
lunchtime anchorages and the techniques of
Mediterranean mooring.
If you forget anything later, you can still
check with him on the VHF. Once you arrive at
the meeting point your lead crew will help you
to moor and secure a safe spot in your new
anchorage.
They are your link with local people and
facilities and attractions on shore. You can get
information about sightseeing, shopping, and
nice restaurants. Your fleet leader feels
responsible for your enjoyment of the holiday
and the smooth running of the flotilla.
No
matter which sailing area you choose you will
share experiences of a lifetime. Your average
daily sail of 15 - 20 miles gives you enough
time to swim, snorkel, visit remote bays, or
spend more time at your destination. We always
keep in mind that the weather runs the itinerary
and sometimes your leaders might have to change
the route to ensure safety.
