This is now our most popular flotilla option. Simply put, we can book a yacht or catamaran, from one of the local bareboat companies that we work regularly with, and arrange for this yacht to sail with one of our flotillas from Murter. This allows us to offer a greater choice of yachts and greater sailing flexibility for you with the flotilla. To check availability and prices, please follow these steps.
Use the search facility below, to get real time availability and prices of yachts that can all sail with the flotilla, on a Bareboat-Flotilla basis. A guide as to the location of all marinas mentioned relative to our main base on Murter, is included. All yachts and catamarans are fully equipped for bareboat charter, and you will find a large selection of sizes, prices and ages. Yachts taken from bases less than 15 miles from Murter make joining the flotilla easier, but any of these yachts can be used.
The yacht prices, will include any special discounts that the supplier has available, meaning that you always get the best deals. You can make multiple searches across a variety of dates to combine with the best flight prices, to see what works best for you.

Murter is a lovely base with good shops and restaurants in walking distance of the yachts, and loads of accommodation options.

Jezera Marina is on the south of Murter and about 9 miles by sea from the main flotilla base, but only about 3 by land.

Marina Preko is a delightful marina on the island of Ugljan and located just opposite Zadar.

The following is the best way to use the search engine to find the most suitable yachts for joining the flotilla, as well how to work out the total costs.
Decide which of the following are your main priorities
You want to be with most of the other yachts on the first and last nights. This is often important for families with teenagers. Normally the first night is not so relevant, as many people arrive late, but many families like to be with as many of the other yachts as possible on the final Friday night. In this case start by searching for yachts based in either Marina Betina or Marina Hramina only. If you find nothing suitable listed, then try Marina Jezera and Marina Pirovac next. After that then try Biograd, Vodice or Sibenik, depending on which airport you are flying into or where you are coming from. If you choose one of these and still want to join families in Murter on the last night you can always do so by taxi.
You have specific yacht preferences. In this case start by searching all marinas between Biograd and Sibenik, and selecting your yacht preferences, and then if you do not find anything suitable try all marinas.
You want the most cost effective option. Decide the number of cabins that you want and try searching all marinas, and work from there.
