Tip yachting°com

Technology is evolving. An on-board navigational plotter, classic GPS navigation or area-specific pilots are a traditional staple for any sailor. But put your hand on your heart, who navigates using only paper charts. Almost every modern sailor has a bunch of apps installed on their phone. Weather forecasts, navigation, anchoring... mobile apps can help you with all of that today. Which ones are worth installing on your phone before sailing to make sailing and life on the boat easier? We asked our skippers which ones they like to use the most and put together the top 10 , which are proven by hundreds of logged miles.

They'll all come in handy when you're sailing around the Balearic Islands, the ultimate sailing destination. In addition, the friendly seas, dreamy beaches, picturesque towns, UNESCO sites and nature reserves are accessible to experienced sailors and beginners alike. Where to sail and what you should see in the Balearic Islands can be found in the article Sailing in the Balearic Islands: beautiful nature and historical monuments.

A New Charter Option in the Bahamas

• By Yachting Staff
• Updated: November 23, 2020

MarineMax Vacations is expanding its charter operations to the Bahamas by way of a strategic partnership with Navigare Yachting.

As of December 1, Navigare will operate the MarineMax Vacations base at Marsh Harbour in the Abacos section of the Bahamas. Available charter yachts will include the two-stateroom Aquila 362 cruiser model and a three-stateroom Aquila 443.

“Navigare is one of the world’s industry leaders for sailing charter vacations,” Raul Bermudez, vice president of MarineMax Vacations, stated in a press release. “Our shared vision to create an exceptional vacation experience is key with our mutual passion for unmatched guest service, yacht maintenance, and expert delivery.”

The Abacos is the section of the Bahamas that Hurricane Dorian decimated in 2019. The storm struck Marsh Harbour as a category 5, with winds up to 220 miles per hour.

“The announcement of these charter companies returning to the Abacos is yet another wonderful show of all the newness and excitement happening in our area,” Sarah Ann Showell, owner of The Green Turtle Club in the Abacos, stated in the press release. “The future for Abaco and its boating visitors is incredibly bright.”

Do charter clients need a negative Covid-19 test to enter the Bahamas? Yes, and government regulations for visitors are subject to change at any time.

Request confirmation, terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

• Limitation on Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO BROKER’S SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
• Waiver . No waiver by Broker of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Broker to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
• Severability . If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
• Governing Law and Mandatory Venue . The laws of the State of Florida govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. You agree that any action or proceeding initiated by Charterer against Broker shall be brought solely in the federal and state courts of Hillsborough County, Florida, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over you by those courts. In the event any action or proceeding is initiated by Charterer in a court outside of Hillsborough County, Florida, Charterer agrees to pay Broker’s costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with defending such action or proceeding and waives any and all defenses to the transfer of said action or proceeding, whether jurisdictional or otherwise, to a federal or state court in Hillsborough County, Florida.

Boating Charter Companies in the Bahamas

Beyond the touristy cruise ship ports and the glitzy resorts of the Bahamas, sleepy seaside towns and secluded harbors await discovery. A great way to experience this chain of more than 700 islands and cays is aboard a Bahamas yacht charter.

Many charters are in the off-the-beaten-path “Out Islands.” The Abacos has been the Bahamian boating capital since colonial times, and its nautical ambience continues to lure voyagers from across the sea to picturesque villages and dazzling ocean sunsets.

The flawless coastline of the Exumas, a 120-mile-long archipelago, is an unspoiled strip of islands and cays known for friendly locals, secluded beaches and underwater caves designed for snorkeling. On Big Major Cay, also known as Pig Beach, you can even take a dip with the residents, the famous swimming pigs.

The Bahamas is one of the world’s leading charter destinations, and it’s no surprise that you will find a variety of vessels along with some of the world’s most impressive superyachts cruising its waters. Charter companies offer multiple options, and a little research will lead you to the most suitable for your dream vacation aboard.

Navigare Yachting Bahamas Ltd.

703-401-3161

A Swedish bareboat charter company, Navigare is the world’s third largest charter operation. Their Bahamas fleet consists of yachts custom- made for the market: sailing catamarans to 50’ from Bali and Lagoon and power cats to 48’ from Aquila, Navigare’s own brand. New yachts are always being added; two 51’ Lagoons are on order. The minimum charter is four days, with no set check-in/checkout days. Weather permitting, sailing grounds in the Abacos are limited to the Sea of Abaco, including Great Abaco and numerous cays to the east. A 10- to-14-day charter can be extended into the Exumas.

Additional end-of-charter expenses are avoided through the Navigare Carefree package, which includes full coverage damage waiver insurance, a welcome pack, linens, dinghy, outboard engine and fuel, propane, full water tanks, snorkeling equipment, and a final cleaning. The fuel tank is full when your charter begins; you top off the tank at the end.

Cruise Abaco

321-830-9412

Located at Great Abaco Beach Resort in Marsh Harbour, Cruise Abaco was the first charter company in the Abacos. A small niche operation, they offer charters with their “Captained by Day, Bareboat by Night” program. A captain guides you through the day with snorkel and beach stops, and then leaves you safely moored in a different seaside settlement or secluded cove each evening. As support boats transfer the crew, they can also bring any essentials needed. Day sails with stops at the underwater parks to snorkel, island hop and sightsee are available.

Tip: Take advantage of your time aboard by learning the ropes. Sign up for American Sailing courses with your charter and gain certifications as you go! Classes will have you learning and living hands-on with a licensed captain and ASC certified sailing instructors. Throughout a typical week, charter guests can complete up to three courses with American Sailing certifications.

786-369-6008

Bluebnc caters to its clientele by offering a wide selection of yachts ranging from 15 to 45 meters and accommodates various preferences by offering week-long, day, or weekend charters departing from the lively port of Nassau or the serene Marsh Harbour Marina.

Ritzy Charters

954-228-5562

Since Ritzy Charters brokers primarily crewed yachts in The Bahamas, it’s a top pick for finding crewed yacht options. The Florida- based company represents a variety of vessels across several categories including luxury yacht charter, motorboats, monohulls and catamarans. Recommended Ritzy itineraries include many activities and schedules with island-hopping maps and more, all custom tailored to vessel type and average cruising speeds to maximize your vacation time. A favorite recommendation is the Exumas (with a six-night minimum) to see the beautiful parts of The Bahamas.

Dream Yacht Worldwide

855-650-8902

With more destinations than any other yacht charter company, Dream Yacht offers choices in both the Exumas and Abacos. From bareboat and skippered to the exclusivity of fully crewed yachts, the fleet includes options for seasoned sailors or those with no experience at all. They introduced electric sailing in the Mediterranean and plan to expand to The Bahamas soon. For the lone traveler wanting to experience time aboard, they offer by-the-cabin charters for social sailing at its best. The yacht is usually a Lagoon 620 cat with a guaranteed departure date from the Exumas.

Penny Jo Sailing Charters

302-754-0242

Penny Jo is a new 2022 Bali 4.4 sailing catamaran designed for personal comfort and performance. As is part of a co-op of self-managed boats, she’s usually crewed by a live-aboard owner/ captain. Penny Jo’s Capt. Bart is a South African native with fascinating life stories to share. Canadian First Mate/Chef Katie is widely traveled graduate of an exclusive French culinary school.

Penny Jo trips are all-inclusive luxury charters with an experienced crew ready to cater to your interests, diet preferences and comfort, much like a floating condo. Instead of paying per item, these charters include linens, alcohol, kayaks, paddleboards, underwater scooter, wakeboard and more.

If you are an experienced sailor or have never stepped aboard a boat, a luxury crewed charter is a vacation with no details to worry about. Penny Jo charters begin from her home port in New Providence (Nassau) and follow a custom itinerary through the Exumas.

Yacht Collective

954-947-5311

In the predominantly male-owned charter industry, Yacht Collective is a majority woman-owned luxury yacht charter company specializing in crewed charters in the Exumas and Abacos.

Yacht Collective is a fast-growing central agency and brokerage that specializes in yacht management, sales, consulting, crew placement network and more. They are known for the owner-support program, which is customized to fit the owner and the vessel. Each boat in the fleet is represented by a single agent for marketing and booking. Yacht Collective will even consult with new owners before a purchase to help them make the best selection.

Unsafe vessels and poor management

My issues with the company/service provided and the boat are the following: 1. The boat was not ready as agreed upon for early "VIP" access to the vessel. When we arrived we were not greeted nor shown our boat by any of the staff. We waited over an hour before we decided to just go and find the vessel ourselves. I had to request for the boat to be re-cleaned. This occurred at 5:00pm. Once cleaned and unpacked we still were not greeted by a staff member to advise us on what to do next. We did not get asked for our paperwork till 6:00pm. We did not get our paper work back and get a handover on the vessel until 9:30pm. Thus we lost a day of travel on the boat which then disorganised our planned itinerary. 2. We were not provided with working Wifi on the boat. I informed the staff and they just told me to try and have an internet box and cord on one of the islands.... This was not acceptable. 3. There was no 24volt power supply on the boat. We were told that none of the electrics worked other than 2x USB ports. 4. The house and motor starter batteries were labelled incorrectly on the boat and the fuel gauge did not read properly on the boat. We finished that trip under the impression we had 70% of fuel left. however when we filled up we were charged 150 Litres... THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. 5. We advised the staff of our concerns including other less serious issues... however they dis-regarded everything we told them. On top of our experience above, we have not had sufficient customer service from the after sale team. We requested 24 hrs refund for the delay. They have not acknowledged such nor addressed the safety concerns on the vessel.

⚠️ Warning to all boating enthusiasts

⚠️ Warning to all boating enthusiasts: I want to share an extremely disappointing experience with Navigate Yatching . I specifically hired for a special occasion during a week a 51-foot Fountain Pajot (named: No Shoes) in Tortola,. We specifically wanted to sail this model, because we are considering to buy one. However, on the day of our arrival, and after making the full payment, the company switched us without prior notice to a different and cheaper model (BALI 47). We had the option to rent a Bali in St Thomas with other companies, but we wanted the Fountain Pajot, so we traveled to Tortola. What's most infuriating is that there was no previous warning, no refund of the price difference, nor any apologies from the company. I sent a mail to customer care (Sanja Permin) and I am still waiting for response. I spoke with Theresa from Navigare Yachting BVI's Customer service team & Avril/ Patrice, and they just told me "do what you want to do, we can not help you". in what I consider a complete abuse and inability to solve the problem, or minimize their consequences. This lack of professionalism and respect for customers is unacceptable. I want to warn everyone considering using their services: proceed with caution. The seriousness and reliability of Navigate Yachting are seriously in question. Don't let them ruin your experience as they did mine. #SafeBoating #CustomerExperience #BoatRental #FountainePajot

Great experience with Navigare.

I can only talk about my experience in Marsh Harbour in The Bahamas and Navigare were faultless. We had a lovely Lagoon 46 Catamaran. It was well prepared and looked after, both the area and boat briefing were great and informative and the staff at the base were extra friendly and genuinely nice people we had a great holiday!

Horrendous money grabbers

Horrendous money grabbers. Used them in Croatia this year the boat was not as well kept as other Also we tried to change a booking with lots of notice due to family health reasons. The we’re very abrupt and rude and just refused Have always chartered boats twice a year. Not with Navigare anymore Also I bet they reply to this by please contact reservations@navigare. - that is who has been refusing to discuss our problem

Our mission is to provide our customers with an unforgettable experience. We would really appreciate knowing more what happened and how we could possibly make it up to you. May I please ask you to contact [email protected]. We hope to understand what went wrong and really hope you will sail with us again. Sincerely Yours, Navigare Yachting team

Skipper Marko, super capable and great company.

Skipper, Marko Sapunaric took us on a trip from Dubrovnik round Croatian islands. We were a mixed party some wanted wild swimming, some top rate food, some to get drunk in beautiful places and he made sure everyone was happy and everyone's hopes were surpassed. We visited some stunning places, Mali Ston and Polace just two, I fell in love with Croatia. Mainly because our skipper took time to show us amazing places: tell us about the language, the countryside and the people. Every time we stopped, he backed a huge boat into a tiny space and ensured all of us could exit to shore. We encountered some rough seas and they were handled expertly, leaving us cheering on the net as the boat bounced. We all had the most amazing time and were all so sad to go home. We all wanted to become pirates and keep sailing. Thanks Marko for an awesome trip, looking forward to next year!

Date of experience : May 17, 2022

Dear "Warmer House 2", Thank you for this amazing review, it was a pleasure reading about your adventures! I will definity let Marko know how happy you were with this trip! Calm seas never made a good sailor, a little waves can be fun! But we are very glad you felt safe with Marko maneuvering rough seas and docking in tight spots! I’m sure he had an amazing crew onboard giving him confidence to show off. We would love to see pictures on Instagram, feel free to tag and follow us @navigareyachting. Looking forward to seeing you on a Navigare boat again next year! Sincerely Yours, Navigare Yachting team

Very positive bareboat charter experience.

Just returned from a ten day bareboat charter in the BVI. Our experience with the cimpany and it’s staff was great from start to finish. We were provided airport pickup service, and arrived to a warm welcome and a cold beverage. When our expected boat was not available as it required service, we were upgraded to a larger catamaran at no extra charge. The boat was a much better fit for our large crew of 7 and we were very pleased with the upgrade. The boat was spotlessly clean and well stocked with dishes, sheets, towels, snorkel gear and basic cleaning supplies. We got a thorough briefing and even a trial sail with a staff person ( as we were prepared to sail a monohull) to become familiar with the systems of the boat. Navigare was available by phone anytime questions arose and were very customer service oriented. We had a spectacular vacation and would not hesitate to book with Navigare again. Thank you all for a memorable time!!

Just back from a week on a Navigare Lagoon 42

I've just returned from a week in the BVI's on a Navigare Lagoon 42. This was the second time we have chartered through Navigare, and will gladly use them again next time. The whole process was very easy and fast, and we were able to get our boat out on the water with a minimum of delay at the start of the trip. The boat was clean and well equipped, and we the only issue we had was that check valves in the heads often backflowed, which made the bathrooms a bit stinky, but I'm thinking this could be a Lagoon 42 design issue because the holding tank is higher than the head. However, sailing the Lagoon 42 was a real pleasure, and we were very comfortable with 8 people aboard. The checkout process was also fast and easy, and we were off and on our way with a minimum of delay.

Hi Phil, thank you so much for sharing your experience with Navigare Yachting! We hope to see you soon again! Sincerely Yours, Navigare Yachting team

Beware contract fine print. Not trustworthy

Beware contract fine print or your 7 day trip will become a six day trip. Our contract said that boat had to be returned on August 23 by 9am on page one and then had a clause in the bottom of page 5 that the boat would have to arrive at the base the day before. This forced us to shorten our trip by one day.

Date of experience : August 17, 2020

Dear Pedro, thank you for your comment and lifting this issue. We are very sorry for the confusion and understand that you would have preferred staying out on the sea sailing longer. Saturdays are when boats are being turned around for the next charter, which is why the boat needs to be in the Marina by the day before. But you don’t have to take your luggage and leave the boat until 9.00 am on the departure day. We will make sure to make this clearer in our contract, to avoid any disappointments. We do hope that the rest of the trip was enjoyable! Sincerely Yours, Navigare Yachting team

Got a SY without a main - bad communications from the back office - WITH EDIT

EDIT NOVEMBER 2023 After having written this review, we received a fair refund and were contacted by the global communications team. The office promised to improve their processes for the next time. ORIGINAL REVIEW We spent one week on a Navigare Yacht heading out from the Palma di Mallorca base. Unfortunately, the trip went differently than we thought, since we got the boat LOCO AMOR without a main sail, resulting in very uncomfortable nights. Our original plan was to head to Ibiza for the week and spend our holidays cruising there. When we arrived at the base in Palma, however, we received a boat without a main sail. Even though we found the staff to be very apologizing, they could not provide us with a suitable replacement on the spot, meaning we had to change our plans to not go to Ibiza AND head out with a SY without a furling main sail. This resulted in three days and two nights of constant, disruptive noise as the furler clanged against the mast. The cacophony was audible both on deck and in the cabins, making for very uncomfortable nights. The base provided us with a main sail afterward in a port after two nights and three days. From the outset, we were informed from the technical staff that we could reach out to the Navigare headquarters for compensation or a reduction in price. Unfortunately, it proves exceedingly difficult to establish contact with anyone from the headquarters. No one takes responsibility, and the overall customer service experience from the back office is horrible. The complete lack of communication following such an incident is, in our opinion, unacceptable. I would NOT RECOMMEND booking with them! I, for one, have no intention of doing so in the future.

Not a good experience in Tortola, BVI with Navigare …

We rented a Lagoon 450F with Navigare from Tortola from Dec. 27th to Jan. 7th and here is why I rated it 2*, starting with the most unpleasant : 1. Attempted 'bait and switch'. While the Navigare coordinator had contractually guaranteed to us in writing a 2018 boat named Stella that was not on island when hurricane Irma unfortunately struck, when we arrived we were told without explanation by the local base that our boat was Kajsa, a 2016 boat -with Stella moored next to her- that had been bullied by Irma and that Stella had now been allocated to another group...Needless to say we got a little flustered, managed to raise the coordinator in Serbia after hours and finally got the original cat assigned to us. So no harm done in the end but a lot of stress, aggravation and us having to fight to get what we had already paid for. Not a good start. 2.No sheets on board, discovered once we were gone. OK, granted there's worse but given the amount you pay for this type of holiday, you would expect the base to do a walkaround with a check-list prior to departure to ensure that everything is where it should be. We finally got the sheets 3 days later as we came back to shore to Tortola for this purpose. 3. The skipper -who was otherwise pleasant and helpful- apparently had not been told that we would use the four double cabins and that he would have to sleep in the front, in a smaller cabin without internal access or toilet/shower. We had to explain to him that this was what we had booked and told him he was welcome to use one of our showers and toilets. He reluctantly accepted but it added to the rocky start of our holidays. We understand and sympathize that the BVI suffered a lot of hardships because of Irma and are still struggling, but given that Navigare had already relocated to their new marina for one month when we arrived and that the inconvenience we suffered were of Navigare's own doing rather than a consequence of Irma, we feel that -even though the rest of the trip was great- Navigare's performance with us was sub-par. Hope this helps. Jf

Thank you, Domagoj! We are always here for our loyal customers!

We rented a yacht in British Virgin Islands and it was a disaster!!…

We rented a yacht in British Virgin Islands through Navigare and although the BVI is lovely, the yacht was terrible and our experience with Navigare was to be blunt appalling. We hired a catamaran with extras including standup paddle boards, snorkelling equipment, pre-paid mobile and wifi. It also had what we assumed were the basics, a first aid kit, aircon, working generator so that we had power and lights. On arrival we had no snorkelling equipment or paddle boards. We later found out that we also had no first aid kit, aircon and no working stove / no way of lighting a stove. Finally we also had no power or wifi. On the first night, we had no working aircon and in 1 room no working fan so no-one got any sleep at all as it was very stuffy. The skipper advised that we would have to return to the marina to get it fixed. So we returned to the marina and waited for a couple of hours while this was fixed before heading out again. Within 30 minutes of leaving the marina the air con was again not working in two bedrooms... but we decided that we did not want to waste any more of that day getting it 'fixed' again and we went on to our mooring for the night and advised base that they could come to us and fix it the next day. The next day we waited for someone from base to come and fix the aircon, but no-one came. Finally we travelled back at the main Island (1.5 hrs) of Tortola parked back in the 'nice anchorage' at the end of the main airport waiting for them to arrive and fix the aircon.... they again spent an hour regassing the aircon, which lasted an hour and then did not work anymore. They did leave us a lighter for the stove though so we could use the stove. The following morning, we headed off and advised base station to bring us a different boat so we could swap as by now none of us had had any sleep due to the heat. We swapped boats (an upgrade apparently) and this boat had a generator which completely crapped itself at 0200 which meant that we didn't only have no aircon, we had no power points, lighting or wifi. The base seemed to think that this was perfectly acceptable. The base manager Crompton was extremely aggressive towards me, and starting yelling and talking over me when I tried to explain that we were ending the charter a day early due to all the faults on the boat and no solution offered by either himself or the skipper of the boat at any time. In fact the base manager at no time contact me and the skipper of the boat would not let me talk to the base station about the issues on the boat. It was all very odd. The issues were: - no first aid kit - no working generator - no air con - no powerpoints - no wifi - no working stove for the first couple of days. In addition to the issues with the yacht Navigare took $400 US from my credit care as a security deposit on the navigation card for the map reader which has not been returned so I have had to lodge a complaint with my credit card company to have this returned. I have also lodged a formal complaint about the yacht, having to finish our cruise a full day early due to major mechanical fault (the completely broken generator) and had no response at all. Not good enough Navigare, I have full audio of Compton's bullying behaviour towards me when we spoke after we returned the yacht and I will release it in full with my blog review of your yacht service shortly.

Ready To Go Sailing? A Global Charter Company Gives You Options

• By Contributing Partner
• September 8, 2023

On your next (or perhaps first) sailing vacation, are you looking for history-steeped villages and afternoon sea breezes? Croatia’s got those. Or maybe big wind is your thing? Greece and Turkey in the summertime are known for their blustery meltemis. Then again, if a midwinter tropical escape would better fit your plans, Navigare Yachting can help you there too, with bases in the Bahamas and both the US and British Virgin Islands. 

Launched two decades ago with a single charter location in Greece, Navigare today operates in 9 countries—with more on the way—and it offers sailors a fleet of more than 300 sailboats, including monohulls from builders such as Arcona, Beneteau, Dufour, and Jeanneau, and sailing catamarans from brands that include Lagoon, Bali, Excess, and Fountaine-Pajot. Recently the company has added Aquila power cats to its lineup, and coming next year, it plans to offer all-electric Island Spirit Catamarans for charter. The plan is for the 52-foot sailing E-cat to make its debut at the Miami International Boat Show in 2024. Check out all of these options on Navigare’s Charter Page .

The vast majority of Navigare’s charter yachts are privately owned and managed by the company. Early on, the fleet was made up entirely of monohulls, but today, roughly two-thirds of the boats are catamarans. On the sales side, nearly 90 percent of the vessels Navigare delivers to owners are cats, and the company estimates that eventually multihulls will make up 80 percent of the fleet worldwide.

Coming from Scandinavia, Navigare founder and CEO Jesper Rönngard says that he always thought of the Mediterranean as the warm place for sailors. About 10 years ago, though, the company expanded first to Thailand and then to the BVI. Tortola, he says, is the most popular destination with American sailors. Today, the company does about half its business in the Med, and the remainder elsewhere in the world, including the Virgin Islands, the Seychelles and Sweden. The Bahamas, he notes, is also an extremely popular destination and earns nothing but five-star reviews with charterers. In 2024, the company plans to add St. Maarten and Tahiti to its list of destinations.

All About the Boats

With Navigare, no matter where or what you choose for your charter, the common denominator across the company is the keen attention the staff pays to maintaining the fleet, Rönngard says. 

“We really try to take care of the boats,” Rönngard says. “And by taking care of the boats, we take care of the boat owners and make sure the boat owners are happy. And that way, kind of as a bonus, the charterers are really happy with the boats. That’s been our idea from the get-go. When we started the company, it was always about maintaining the boats, giving them proper service. This way, we knew that we would grow, just by word of mouth.”

That’s not to say that every boat and every vacation is trouble-free—they’re boats, after all. But having the ability to respond quickly with a chase boat to make needed repairs is also something the staff does well, he adds.

Options for Charterers, Choices for Owners

There are a number of ways to charter with Navigare, the most common of which is a bareboat vacation of a week or longer, where you get the boat to use with family and friends as you wish. Other options include skipper and luxury crewed trips, by-the-cabin charters, and flotillas, where a local guide leads a number of boats that share an itinerary that can include both free time and group events. 

Navigare also offers sailing instruction so that guests can learn to skipper their own bareboat yachts. The two-week course is taught from the company’s base in Seget, Croatia, and uses a curriculum developed by the International Yacht Training Organization. It allows students to earn an IYT Bareboat Skipper Certificate. Details can be found at Navigare Yachting .

Yacht sales are another important part of Navigare’s business plan. Its brokerage office is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the company offers three programs for buyers, ranging from a fixed monthly income plan to one that gives an owner lots more flexibility in terms of risk and revenue. 

Details of the ownership plans are spelled out on the Navigare Yachting website, which is chock-full of other information about locations, itineraries, charter options, and the sailing school. There’s even an app you can download, so you can dream about and plan your next vacation on the fly. 

So where do you want to sail next? Navigare has you covered.
