Babac
Gulet "Babac" is our smallest gulet, sleeping up to 8 guets in 4 double cabins, ideal for small groups wishing to take sailing vacations in Croatia & the Dalmatian Coast. She has just been recently renovated (2012) and apart from replacing much of her old equipement, they have added some important new extras, such as an awning over the stern dining area and a solar panels over the cockpit, which allows the air-conditioning to be used outside the ports. The batteries are charged up during the day, giving several hours use of the air-conditioning during the evenings, without the need to turn on the boat’s generator (as you may well know, generators are not the most convivial things to use at night as they can often be quite noisy). Naturally, when the boat is moored alongside a quay, they will use the mains power to drive the air-conditioning. Babac has been with us for over 6 years and has been offering us good service in all that time, so now, with this major refit, your cruising experience can only get better!

The crew (specified above), water, electricity, clean bed linen, clean shower and sunbathing towels (changed at least twice a week), a free welcome drink, fuel for 4 hours cruising a day (which is usually more than enough), Wi-Fi Internet connection, personal injury insurance while on the boat, and free use of onboard equipment specified above.
​
Charter price doesn't include
Harbour fees (see above for estimate of cost, which can be reduced by anchoring outside the ports on some nights), meals & other drinks aboard (specified above), transfers between the airport and boat, National Park entrance fees and tips to the crew.
​
Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a percentage of the charter price to be paid in advance to cover your expenses during the cruise, such as meals, drinks, harbour fees, etc. The APA is held on account on your behalf and at the end of the week the total of all your expenses will be deducted and the balance will be refunded to you (it does not include tips to the crew, which need to be paid separately). Not all boats ask for an APA (see above) but ask for meals and all-inclusive drinks to be paid on arrival and harbour fees to be paid locally as you arrive in each port.
​
The boats' charter season is usually from the beginning of May to the end of October and this is usually divided into 3 price periods, with Low Season usually comprising May & October, Mid Season usually comprising June & September, and High Season usually comprising July & August. Some boats, however, can have as few as 2 different pricing periods and some as many as 4 or even 5, and the dates for these can vary, so if you are confused, which is understandable, please don't hesitate to
