Boat Licence in Croatia – Do You Need One to Rent a Boat?

A complete guide to boat licence requirements in Croatia. Learn which boats you can rent without a licence and when you need a valid skipper's permit.

Boat Licence Requirements in Croatia

In Croatia, you can rent and operate a boat without a licence if the engine is 6HP or less. Our Kruger Stella with a 60HP engine falls into a category that requires no boat licence, making it perfect for beginners. However, for boats with more powerful engines like our Gaia 22 Open (150HP), a valid boat licence (or ICC certificate) is required.

Renting Without a Licence in Poreč

If you don't have a boat licence, you have two options: rent the Kruger Stella (no licence needed) or rent any boat with our professional skipper. Our skipper knows the best routes, hidden swimming spots, and safest anchorages, making your day on the water stress-free and enjoyable. Contact us to discuss your options.
