Chartering a superyacht is definitely one of the more splendorous ways to spend a holiday. The magnificent and stylish surroundings of contemporary yachts design, the courtesy and professionalism of the yacht crew and the gastronomical delicacies of the Michelin-level chef all fit into a singular extraordinary experience. But, there are many things that happen "behind the scene", which are crucial for a successful yacht charter experience.

Croatia is a country that boasts all the necessary pre-requisites for a yacht charter cruise of a lifetime: crystal-clear sea, pristine and untouched nature, more than 800 uninhabited islands, and welcoming and helpful locals. All these elements translate into first-class, but passive yacht charter support.

Yet, to give you a vacation of a lifetime, a million things have to happen, involving dozens of professional crew members, support and logistic staff, third-party suppliers, entertainment…

This means that behind the scenes of a regular charter vacation, numerous interesting things are vital to the successful completion of any yacht charter. Some of these include:

Yacht provisioning of food & drinks

Your crew has to prepare everything in advance. After a detailed screening of your preference sheets, they contact their local food supplier and thoroughly go through the list, double-checking everything. Parallel to that, your chef will visit the local farmer’s markets, stocking up on fresh and organic meats, fish, fruits, vegetables and spices.

Imported and luxury goods will be handled way before the actual charter starts. Special dietary requirements will be addressed on board, with your yacht chef directly speaking with the guests and going through allergies, likes and dislikes. Regarding drinks, if there is ever even a doubt that the yacht will run out of champagne, wine or hard liquor, your yacht crew will momentarily undertake a tender supply run, as part of yacht charter support.

Fuel consumption during your yacht charter

The fuel capacity of your yacht directly impacts how much cruising you can expect before needing to refuel. Depending on your location, refuelling may take a short or a very long amount of time. If your charter itinerary is spent in one bay and its surrounding area, no fuel questions will ever be raised.

But, if you are planning on traversing the whole Croatian Adriatic sea, refuelling will certainly occur. This is something that guests will never have to directly think about because the captain handles all the arrangements of yacht charter support and fuel.

Waste management on a yacht

With the ever-rising threat of global warming, it has become more prevalent than ever to be eco-friendly on yachts. The yachting community is very mindful of this fact and that is why waste management is so important on yachts. Besides informing guests that they must not litter in the sea, the yacht crew also handles sorting and recycling trash.

When it comes to grey and black water disposal, not one drop goes into the oceans. Instead, the greywater is filtered and recycled for the engines and the black water is pumped out into tanks when the yachts stop to refuel.

Yacht Crew support 24/7

Yacht charter support and crew support make sure that every member of the yacht crew receives necessary assistance, in terms of transit, education, or health. Any elements are swiftly dealt with, seeing that every yacht has an M.D. doctor directly responsible for her. This also means that any unpredictable shortage of crew will be momentarily compensated for.  Also, any potential technical difficulties regarding the yacht are momentarily reported and solved from different ends of the support chain.

Behind the scenes of yacht charter support

Your dedicated yacht crew will constantly work towards providing the best possible luxury vacation in Croatia. And while you will be aware of the fine dining, attention to detail, luxurious atmosphere and pristine natural beauty, your crew will also perform an invisible show, managing provisioning, fuel, recycling, and logistics, without you even noticing.

This is what separates yacht charters from every other form of the luxury holiday; the fact that the guest does not know what really goes on behind the curtains, which is all thanks to the professionalism of the crew. This way, the yacht charter support team always ensures a top-tier charter experience in Croatia.
