All the yachts are renouned for excellent build quality, performance and specifications, ideal for Mediterranean sailing. Monohull yacht or catamaran? 'Normal' monohull yachts are up to half the cost to charter and provide, what to many, is a more classic sailing experience.The advantages of a catamaran are lots of extra space above and below deck and, often a flatter, more sedate sailing experience. Catamarans often have more features like air conditioning, more bathrooms and extra fridges. As there are far less catamarans you need to book them early.
	Choosing the best yacht for you. What size yacht? As well as how much you wish to spend, it depends on how many people and how many cabins and bathrooms you need. How many cabins? Most cabins have double beds and some 4 and 5 cabin yachts also have a cabin with twin bunks. Some yachts have an extra bed/berth as the saloon seat converts into a bed. On certain yachts over 48 feet and all of the catamarans there is a separate 'skipper's' cabin in the bow of the boat reached via the deck so they can access their cabin at night by a seperate entrance from the guest accommodation inside the yacht. Your skipper will need a cabin. How many bathrooms? The yachts have between 1 and 5 bathrooms with a WC, washbasin and shower. Most yachts over 40 feet in length have 2 or more, often at least one of these is en-suite, usually to the biggest cabin. Most of the catamarans have 4 guest bathrooms, all en-suite plus one in the skipper's cabin. > Choose a yacht > Prices, availability & how to book

Mooring & Fuel In Croatia you will generally pay to moor each night in a marina, harbour or sometimes on a mooring buoy. However, flights are generally less to Croatia than to Greece. There are also some bays where you can moor for free and take your dinghy ashore. The cost of mooring fees at the first class marina yacht bases at the start and end of your charter are included in the yacht price and for the rest of your holiday mooring fees depend on the size of the yacht and location, but as a guide, marinas will cost around £1.50 per foot per night, town quays and mooring buoys will cost around £1.00 per foot per night. Catamarans can be 1.5 - 2 times more. The benefits include a guaranteed mooring space which you can often book in advance plus power and water and other great facilities. Fuel is fairly inexpensive and generally costs between £100-£140 per week, depending on the size of your yacht. Catamarans use around £100 - £180 per week, more if you use your air conditioning a lot.
