[:en]The most important advantage of every yacht charter base is its vicinity to the large transport hub, most commonly the airport. Everybody wants their sailing holidays to start as soon as they arrive to the base, and they want to arrive the smoothest way possible. Is there any advantage of chartering in the island base at all? Especially if we take into consideration that islands are most often reachable only by ferries?
Yes, there are plenty of advantages of chartering in the island base which I am about to explain on the example of SailingEurope Charter base in Rogač, island Šolta in Croatia. Let’s start with the airport. There is an international airport in Split wich is well connected by shuttles and busses with Split port where ferries to island Šolta take off several times a day in the high season. The ferry sails just to Rogač, the main port of island Šolta; just few meters of SailingEurope Charter base.
If you are driver and decide to take your car all the way to your chartered yacht you will be provided free parking in the base area, which is a lot cheaper and safer option than to leave it on mainland. Furthermore, once you arrived to Rogač, your holidays start immediately. You can forget about waiting in the frying sun, losing your nerves in overcrowded marina where ones are trying stay aboard as long as possible; and the others are trying to get aboard as soon as possible while marina staff tries to prepare the yachts for next crew and do the paperwork heating the atmosphere with annoying administration and billing system…
There is only one charter fleet in Rogač so every SailingEurope’s customer could expect individual approach and plenty of time to prepare probably the best sailing holidays ever. Even though should you need to wait for your yacht to get completely ready to accommodate you and your loved ones; there is a nice pebbly beach just few steps away from the wharf where you can find refreshment by swimming in incredibly clear water.
Once you have embarked your yacht you would be able to reach Dalmatia’s top sailing destinations in no time because of their vicinity to Šolta and Rogač port. Otherwise, if you are too tired of the trip and decide to spend the first night in Rogač, you would be amazed with its pinewood shades, terraces and picturesque scenery all over the place. At the end of the week you should not worry about finding the gas station and queuing endlessly because the gas station is also located in Rogač port. It is most probably going to be very busy on Fridays but you again do not need to worry because there is enough time to fill up after the crowd is gone.
