Frequently asked questions

How much does license-free boat rental cost in Rijeka?

Expect €100–250 per day — where you land depends on size, the boat's year and the platform. Prices shown here are those actually published at the time of your search. Demand peaks from May to September, as the northern gateway to Croatian chartering.

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.
