| Besides chartering and yacht brokerage we also
offer a full program of Yacht Management and maintenance
- this way owning a yacht becomes a pleasure as
we handle the maintenance of the yacht, management
of the crew, accounts and supplies. Yacht management
has seen significant growth globally over recent
years, as more people turn to the marine industry
in their pursuit for leisure activities the demand
for professional management has increased.
For yacht owners who live overseas and yet keep
their boats in the Croatian area, we will take
away the responsibility of the general running
of your boat as our professional staff will care
for and generally maintain your boat.
Our extensive weekly and monthly schedules will
ensure that preventative maintenance is executed
reducing the chance of major work and our staff
will keep a daily eye on your vessel and if required
more regular care will be organized.
Yacht Charter Croatia also organizes crew searches
and placement, supervises refits, arranges yacht
surveys and advises on flagging registration and
taxation details. Yacht Charter Croatia offers
a full package of yacht management services to
let you enjoy your own yacht without the practical
concerns of ownership. You can fully trust your
yacht to our expertise, and receive the highest
level of support and professional commitment.
As managers, we work closely with the owner
and the yacht skipper to maximize the use of the
yacht and minimize the running costs - commensurate
with having a safe yacht and an efficient and
happy crew. We keep the owner and the skipper
advised of current regulations and requirements,
arrange berths, provide shore-based office facilities
for the skipper, attend to the payment of crew
wages and other disbursements, source crew as
required (directly without extra charge or via
a crew agent at cost price), source parts and
equipment, liaise with shipyards and other contractors,
maintain the yacht's Certification, and generally
take on the owners responsibility for the correct
operation of the yacht without harming the owners
enjoyment and without spoiling the close relationship
which naturally and properly builds between the
owner and his skipper, and without in any way
undermining the skippers absolute responsibility
for the safety of the yacht and all on board -
and his authority.
At commencement, we discuss the estimated annual
running costs for the yacht with the owner and
skipper, then produce a budget and cash-flow-forecast.
We receive initial funds from the owner, and account
to the owner or the owner's accountants or office
at each month end. The owner have to pay a monthly
fee to us for our services. All costs are charged
at our actual cost (except for Yacht Insurance
premiums - on which we receive a normal commission),
and the owner gets the advantage of all discounts,
which we enjoy.
