F.A.Q

A: Security deposits are included for all-in bookings. For bare boat charters, a security deposit is required. This is managed through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) system. The APA covers the cost of fuel, food, port fees, and any other expenses that may arise during your trip. It’s typically a percentage of the total charter fee, paid upfront. At the end of your trip, the total expenditure is calculated, and the difference is either refunded to you or requested as additional payment if the costs exceeded the APA. This system ensures transparency and efficiency in handling the operational costs of your charter.

For your convenience and ease of travel to Marina Dalmacija in Sukosan, we recommend flying into either Zadar Airport (ZAD) or Split Airport (SPU).

• Zadar Airport (ZAD): This is the closest airport to Marina Dalmacija, located approximately 12 kilometers away. The commute time from Zadar Airport to the marina is roughly 15-20 minutes by car or taxi, making it a quick and convenient option for travelers.

• Split Airport (SPU): Alternatively, you can fly into Split Airport, which is about 120 kilometers from Marina Dalmacija. The journey from Split Airport to the marina typically takes around 1.5 hours by car. While this option is a bit farther, it may offer more flight choices and could be more convenient depending on your originating location.

Both airports have a variety of transportation options available, including car rentals, taxis, and shuttle services, to facilitate your travel to the marina. We recommend checking the availability and scheduling your preferred mode of transport in advance to ensure a smooth start to your trip. If you need any help with transport or hotel accommodations please contact marin@regattablack.com and we will be happy to assist you.

At Regatta Black, we prioritize the safety and comfort of our guests at all times. In the event of bad weather during your sailing trip, our experienced skippers and crew are well-trained to handle a variety of weather conditions to ensure your safety and the integrity of your sailing experience.

We continue with the trip, making the best of the situation, and adapt our itinerary as needed to navigate more sheltered areas or adjust activities accordingly. This approach allows us to offer a continuous, enjoyable experience despite weather changes.

Each of our charters is equipped with a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to provide you with internet access during your trip.

However, please be aware that while we strive to offer consistent Wi-Fi coverage, the service may be limited in more remote areas. The nature of sailing means that at times, especially when far from the coast or in secluded coves, the Wi-Fi signal strength might fluctuate or be temporarily unavailable. We recommend preparing for intermittent connectivity, especially if you plan to sail to more remote locations.

We encourage our guests to see this as an opportunity to disconnect and fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty and tranquility of the sailing experience, while still having the option to connect when needed.

For your convenience and planning, our check-in time for the boats is set at 5 PM, and check-out time is at 9 AM. This schedule allows us to ensure that everything is perfectly prepared for your sailing experience.

On the final day of your sailing trip, we will return to the marina on Friday night. At this point, you have the flexibility to spend your last night on the boat, allowing you to enjoy one more evening of the unique onboard experience. Alternatively, you can choose to proceed to other accommodations or make your travel arrangements as per your schedule.

We aim to offer a seamless experience with these timings, ensuring both a welcoming start and a smooth conclusion to your sailing adventure.

We appreciate your interest in bringing pets aboard; however, for safety and comfort reasons for all our guests, pets are not allowed on our boats. This policy helps us maintain a certain standard of cleanliness and allergy-free environment on our vessels. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

We’re committed to making your journey as enjoyable and personalized as possible, especially when it comes to dining. Before setting sail, we’ll send out a questionnaire to each guest to gather your food preferences and any dietary requirements.
