Based on our experience you can expect a annaul yield of up to 12% on the initial pruchase price. However, depending on the number and period of owner's weeks the yield will change accordingly.

The minimum recommended yacht size is 12 m, as the main part of the operational costs is the marina berth. Most marinas for commercial use have a minimum category of 12 m, meaning that even if you have a yacht/boat smaller than 12 m, it will be charged as 12 m.

In addition, the infrastructure and available technical support ensure an easy charter operation. Each of our 18 charter bases operates well and has its own market and advantages, ensuring the highest maintenance standards and excellent booking results.

Yes, it is possible to charter a boat under your personal name. However, there are significant drawbacks:

• VAT on the purchase and operational expenses cannot be reclaimed.
• Higher costs due to increased taxation.

Limited options for offsetting income with expenses, reducing overall profitability.

While a Croatian company is recommended for smoother operations and more accessible financing, it is not mandatory.

Operating through a company also provides better opportunities for managing costs and taxes effectively.
