License-free boat rental in Kaštela

Q: 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.

License-free rental in Kaštela follows local rules rather than the French threshold: ask the operator for the exact terms before booking.

What a license-free day looks like

You potter around the Kaštela bay, enclosed water between Split, Trogir and the seven fortress villages along the shore, picnic on board, swim at anchor. A bay sheltered from heavy weather, the maestral entering tamed in the afternoon — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.

Booking smart

Demand peaks from May to September, a practical and cheaper starting base than Split itself, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.
