2. Renting a boat for a day? Yes, please!
In recent years, boat tourism has become increasingly popular in Croatia, particularly among tourists exploring the coastal regions. While many visitors prefer to dedicate their time to beaches and islands, not everyone seeks a constant presence on a boat. And no, we are not talking about the ferries or catamaran boats.
We are talking about 1-2 days of private tour enjoyment. And yes, we have it. Nevera Rent a Boat, located in Novi Vinodolski offers an ideal solution that includes recommendations, tour planning, and even an experienced skipper who can guide you to the best and closest attractions. Opting for this service allows you to sidestep the additional expenses associated with obtaining a license and planning the route. The experienced skipper will also be a valuable source of information and ideas, ensuring you make the most of your time without overspending.
3. Plan your day and see unseen…
We all want to come home from vacation with a good story. Most of the time, unplanned things get the best outcome, and we recount it so many times to our friends and families. Here is what you can get if you decide to take a boat tour around the islands in Croatia.
Dolphins. Yes, we know, sounds impossible. But for some reason, they like to swim next to the boats, and for sure, to surprise and charm with their jumps and dancing.
Local cuisine and wine are slightly different in smaller local restaurants, taverns, or shops. Some places, like everywhere in the world, are more famous than others, but we can promise that villages and unknown places around the islands are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. You will probably be awaited by the family restaurant or vinery owner or member, who will do the storytelling and share an experience like you were part of the family. Even though it may sound short just to take a boat for a day, we can assure you will have the time of your life.
4. How to cut costs on a 1-day boat rental
Now when we give you enough reasons to join the adventure and hop on, we want to share with you some tips on how to save money but still experience the most.
- Plan a closer and shorter route – clear sea and nice bays, don’t have to always be far away. Luckily, Croatia can boast about having crystal clear sea, and very nice and approachable beaches by boat that will enable you to enjoy every inch of it. This way you will save money on gas (*please be aware that by renting a boat you get a full tank of gas, that needs to be returned the same way).
- Bring your food & drinks on board – renting a boat can cost, but eating in a restaurant sometimes can be expensive as well. Choose to bring some food with you, and pick a local tavern that is not at the main square, but will do both: save you some money, and surely surprise you with the quality and taste.
- Get recommendations and take a skipper with you – this would save you: gas, and time and leave you stress-free. Although this is an additional cost, good guidance is important and can save you money on licensing fees and get you out of spending a lot on fuel while looking for a good route or bay and beach. They provide invaluable navigational knowledge and emergency response capabilities, enhancing safety on the water. Their presence allows you to relax and enjoy the journey while ensuring legal compliance with maritime regulations.
- Book in advance or look out for the best deal – planning can save you some time and money. Looking for a boat at the last minute can be tricky and sometimes can turn into a bad experience due to high and unexpected costs. If you know where you will spend your vacation, the next thing to do is to search for the best deals and offers around.
