Where to go

• The Šibenik archipelago. According to the listing, Brodarica is a good starting point for trips to the islets of the archipelago; more about the area in the piece on Kaprije and Žirje.
• Kornati. The listing names Kornati as a day-trip destination; more on the nautical rules and coves in the guide Kornati: a nautical guide. An entry ticket is payable for the Kornati National Park, so check the exact conditions before you set out.
• Nearby islets. For half a day a speedboat and a short trip along the coast are enough.
• Šibenik from the sea. The historic town and the St Nicholas Fortress look different from the water than from land.

Rules and tips

• Licence and skipper. Driving a boat of this power requires the appropriate licence; if you do not have one, the boat can also be hired with a skipper. The conditions are in the listing and the owner confirms them.
• Who pays for what. Fuel, skipper and equipment differ from boat to boat, so check what is included in the listing before you enquire.
• Booking. The boat is on request: send an enquiry and the owner confirms the date. A date is not free until the owner has confirmed it.
• Bora and jugo. Open waters towards Kornati can get rough when strong winds blow. Follow the forecast and the owner's instructions; the sea is usually calmer in the morning.

Season

• June and September are pleasant months with warm sea and fewer crowds.
• July and August are the most popular, so the boat fills up earlier.
• May and October are possible, but the sea is cooler and the weather less settled.
