What kind of provisioning is available before departure in Croatia?
In Croatia, provisioning for your charter is straightforward and convenient. Most charter bases are located close to large supermarkets and convenience stores, where you can shop on arrival. In addition, many charter companies and local stores offer online provisioning services, allowing you to order everything in advance and have it delivered directly to your yacht.
These online systems are user-friendly and usually available in English, offering fresh produce, meat, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and cleaning products. Some services even offer suggested checklists tailored to sailing charters, helping ensure you don't miss anything important.
Provisioning can also be arranged through your skipper or base staff if you're chartering with crew. For the best balance of convenience and flexibility, many charterers pre-order a starter pack online and then shop locally for fresh items once settled in.
We can refer you to trusted online provisioning partners servicing the area of your base location. Just ask us when booking.
