Hi fellow owner of boat in Croatia (we are London-dwellers the rest of the time with hubby an Essex-native as it happens)! Our boat is doing 2020 and 2021 in charter (with plenty of use by us) before...

Re: A couple of days sailing in Adriatic?

My personal preference is Croatia but I am biased; our boat is there and the scenery/islands are something to behold.

Most charters in Europe run for 7 (or multiples of) days, Sat>Sat. Late...

Re: surveyor recommendation in Montenegro

Can't recommend any more, only know of ones via Google that no doubt you've seen.

Re: Elan yacht

Elan 384 Impression owner with experience of 45 Impressions too. You probably want to specify what model/years you're interested in.

Re: Croatia Cruising Guide

Very little in the way of currents. There are pilot guides with anchorages and ports etc but not really a cruising guide akin to the Doyles guides for the Caribbean. Lots of blogs and articles online...

Re: Which charter company

I'd say you have all the key places covered. If you've been to Greece you will be familiar with the med mooring in general terms but for docks Croatia uses lazy lines/slime lines more than anchoring...

Re: Buying a boat in Croatia

Deposit pre-survey is standard, but "not seaworthy" should be material enough to mean deposit returned!
