Boat Rental FAQs
Do I need a boat license to rent a boat in Hvar?
If you want to drive the boat yourself, you need a valid boat license (ICC or national equivalent). If you do not have one, simply hire the boat WITH a skipper - no license needed!
Is fuel included in the rental price?
For skippered trips on standard routes, fuel is usually included in the price the skipper quotes. For bareboat (self-drive) rentals, fuel is typically charged separately based on consumption. Check the offer before you confirm.
What is the minimum rental duration?
Half-day (4 hours) is the minimum for most boats. Full-day (8 hours) rentals offer the best value and allow you to explore further destinations like Vis and Blue Cave.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are set by the skipper or boat company that runs your trip. You see them in the offer before you pay, including what happens if bad weather stops the trip.
