In addition to this, you’ll also need to pay VAT and the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA).

The APA covers non-fixed costs like fuel, berthing, food, and drinks. It’s estimated by your broker based on your desired experience and paid in advance. During your charter, your Captain will keep detailed records of all expenditures, and any remaining funds are returned at the end of your charter.

As an EU member, Croatia allows EU passport holders to enter without a visa and with no restrictions on length of stay.
