HOW TO BOOK
Fill in the LikeSailing questionnaire on our home page or on the bottom of this page and let us know about the following:
*Most of the boats have 3 to 6 double bed cabins, but some of them have 3 or 4 double bed cabins, plus one or two cabins with bunk beds. Don't forget that your skipper, should you request one, also needs a cabin!
*In the text box you can also ask questions or send us additional info you consider might be important and useful to us and we’ ll do all we can to provide you with the best holiday package ever.
As soon as we have received your request, we will send you an offer with a few boats belonging to different price categories. However, all of them, regardless of the category, derive from well-known, established charters, which significantly reduces any boat related risks. Please keep in mind that the number of boats we can offer strongly depends on the time of the year (high and low season). That is why we suggest you to book the boat early in the year or at the end of the current season for the next season.
Should you be interested in receiving our offer, please let us know as soon as possible via e-mail or by phone and we will put your preferred boat on hold during the next four days free of charge. This will give you enough time to search for the flight or ferry tickets and talk to your crew before taking the final decision.
Confirmation – after we have received your confirmation, we will connect you with the Charter company to which you should transfer the arranged price from our offer.
* IMPORTANT - if you are not planning to hire a professional skipper, the Charter Company will need a copy of your skipper's licence, and in some cases, the VHF certificate from one of the crewmembers. You will have to show the originals during the check in upon your arrival in the marina.
The use of our services, advice and knowledge during the booking procedure is completely free of charge and you don't have any obligations towards LikeSailing, nor shall it have any effect on the final price of the boat.
If you have all the permits, but you are on the boat for the first time, it is recommendable that you book a skipper. However, if you do not have all the necessary permits (the boat steering permit and the VHF permit), booking a skipper is mandatory.
In order to hire a skipper or a hostess, just add a note inside the text box while filing in our questionnaire and we will provide you with one. You can also let us know if you would rather prefer a female to a male skipper, an older to a younger one etc., depending on the mood and the composition of your crew, and we will do our best to meet your wishes.
We always suggest direct payment to skipper/hostess before sailing out. You will be informed upfront about what amount to pay, depending on the size and the type of the boat you have chosen. Skipper/hostess will have the receipt ready for you and we kindly ask you to keep it well stored until the end of your cruise.
By renting the boat directly from the suggested Charter Company and hiring a skipper directly from LikeSailing, you will receive the best value for money and we will make sure that you have the most memorable holiday in Croatia!
