DO´S & DON´TS

Simple advice for beginners how to behave in different life situations and vice versa what not to do if you do not want to look like a dummy

1. Respect the captain. He is responsible for your safety as well as for the protection of the boat. When maneuvering in the marina, anchoring or lowering the sails, he will probably need your assistance in the worse weather. Listen to and follow the instructions.
2. Respect nature. Sea is not a pool and security is important here. Just like the environment. Take all your waste to the mainland. People coming after you also want to enjoy the beauty of the sea. Waste tanks are not emptied in the port or in the bay, but always on the open sea at full speed.
3. You can fish only with a valid fishing ticket. You can also get it online at www.mps.hr
4. Do not take a big luggage on the boat. It is bulky and occupies a lot of space in the cabin. Instead pack in a soft bag. The smaller, the better, ideally one small backpack. You really need only swimsuits, shorts, t-shirts, sneakers, a set of warm waterproof items and a credit card.
5. Do not carry a huge supply of food with you. In each marina, town and village you will find well-stocked foodstores, local fishermen, restaurants and small taverns, where you will have fresh homemade food.
6. In the marinas you can pay by card, but keep cash too. You’ll need it here in smaller villages and restaurants. Almost anywhere, you can pay in euro without any problems.
7. Always keep the photo camera and video camera in your hand. Beautiful views or a group of floating dolphins can surprise you anywhere on the sea.
8. The level of gastronomic services in Croatia varies. There are plenty of fine restaurants, family taverns with homemade food and great small wineries. Rely on personal recommendations and in particular – make reservation in advance.
