What are the sleeping arrangements?
Our yachts feature double and twin cabins (bunks). We reserve our twin cabins for solo travellers who will be
matched up with another independent traveller, while groups of friends sleep in double cabins. Whilst we
endeavour to bunk travellers of the same sex together, you may share your cabin with a member of the opposite
sex.
What are the yachts like?
You can choose to book either a Standard or Premier yacht on the Under 39's Yacht Tour. The best way to
imagine a Standard yacht is like a floating hostel; with twin or double bedded cabins, a self-contained
kitchen, shared toilet and shower facilities and communal lounge areas above and below deck. Premier yachts
are newer than Standard yachts, however they do have a similar layout. Premier yachts have the added benefit
of air-conditioning, modern amenities, slightly larger lounge areas and a swimming platform to dive straight
into the sea!
What currency should I bring?
Even though Croatia joined the European Union in July 2013, their currency is still the Croatian Kuna. The
best way to get Kunas is to withdraw directly from an ATM (available in most large towns, Split Airport and
Split Marina).
What is the food and drink situation?
Food and drink is not included (except Breakfast). Each yacht is equipped with a kitchenette including a gas
stove, fridge, oven and kettle. You will need to bring your own food and drink prior to boarding the yacht.
There is a small grocery store at ACI Marina in Split. This way you can pick out exactly the food you'll
prefer for lunch at sea. In the evenings you'll have a wide variety of restaurant options. Croatia has
delicious, locally-grown food, and your skippers will be happy to recommend the perfect restaurant for you.
Will I get to sail?
Yes! This is one of our favourite things about Under 39 Yacht Tour. Whilst your skipper will be sailing most
of the time, from time to time, the skipper may ask you to help out – sailing fourteen metres of yacht by
yourself isn’t easy – but for the most part you’ll enjoy the sound of the wind in the sails as you lay on the
ship’s deck during the day. Of course, we don’t have control over the wind, so on days when the weather
conditions aren't ripe for sailing, we’ll use our motor to make our way down the coast.
Do the yachts have air-con?
Premier yachts have air-conditioning in the salon area of the yacht, however this is only available when
docked in ports, due to the required electricity. Standard yachts do not have air-conditioning.
How is an Under 39 Yacht Tour different than a Navigator Cruise?
You will be sailing onboard an 8-berth yacht rather than on a large motor cruiser. As you will be travelling
with a smaller group, you will get a more intimate experience sailing. A huge benefit of our yacht tours is
that you can bring your own food and drink onboard, which is often a more affordable option for travellers on
a budget.
Are bed linen and towels included?
Yes they are, however the towels are for indoor/shower use only – you’ll need to bring your own beach towel
for outdoors.
Can I book the whole yacht?
Absolutely. If you book a trip with eight people, you'll automatically be put on the same yacht. If you have
fewer than eight people, you'll still be together along with other like-minded travellers. If your group is
larger than eight we can divide you amongst a few of our yachts in whatever allocation you chose. Our yachts
sail side-by-side during the trip, so even if your large group is spread across multiple boats, you will be
able to see your friends regularly during swim stops, regattas, excursions and nights out. Whole yacht
bookings of 8 attract a 5% discount per person! For terms & conditions, please view our 5% Group Special herea>.
When does the trip start and finish?
Check in is from 2pm in ACI Split Marina, with our team ready to welcome you with a drink at 1pm! Departures
are every Wednesday. The tour ends in ACI Split Marina. We ask all our passengers to disembark by 8:30am to
allow us time to clean the yacht before the next departure. Detailed directions to the marina will be emailed
to you when you book your tour.
Are there any local payments that I need to be aware of?
A local payment of 30 Euros per person is payable onboard your Under 39 Yacht Tour. This payment incorporates
port fees, fuel and tourist taxes throughout the week and is subject to change.
Will the Under 39’s Yacht Tour itinerary change?
Our number one priority is to ensure that we have safe and happy guests onboard our tours. With this in mind,
we may need to change the itinerary for a variety of reasons including weather, port availability and guest
experience.
