What a license-free day looks like

You potter around the channel between Hvar and the Pakleni islands, dream anchorages below the Adriatic’s most fashionable town, picnic on board, swim at anchor. A dependable summer maestral between the islands, with berths fought over from late afternoon — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.

Booking smart

Demand peaks from May to September, July–August turning the channel into a society gathering, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.

Platform and season depending: €100–250 per day. Comparing before you book often saves 10-25% — which is the whole point of Boat-Comparator. Demand peaks from May to September, July–August turning the channel into a society gathering.

Do I need a license?

Careful in Croatia: a recognised license is mandatory for any motorboat, whatever its power (and a VHF qualification is requested for liveaboard units). True bareboat "no-license" rental does not exist — the options are a skippered trip or a recognised foreign license (ICC among them). Check this point before comparing prices.
