The Boat: Comfort, Design, and Practical Features
The Atlantic 730 feels spacious and stable, perfect for cruising along the scenic coastlines. The forward sunbathing area is a real highlight—ample space to lie back, soak up the sun, and enjoy the views. The aft section, with its bench and table, makes it easy to enjoy snacks or drinks while anchored.
The central console provides easy movement around the boat, and the helm is straightforward enough for anyone with a basic license to take the wheel. If you’re unsure about navigating, the option to rent a skipper is available for an extra fee, and the trained guides are knowledgeable and friendly.
Exploring Krk’s Coastline
The primary appeal here is the freedom to explore. With a boat at your disposal, you can visit secluded beaches, hidden coves, or just cruise along the dramatic shoreline. Crystal-clear waters beckon you to stop, swim, or snorkel. Many reviews emphasize the enjoyable experience of being the captain — “I loved feeling in control while taking in the stunning scenery,” noted one guest.
You might choose to anchor near the coast for a picnic or take advantage of the watersport rentals. The availability of extra gear like wakeboards or tubes allows for a lively, active day, especially if you’re traveling with energetic friends or family.
A Day at Sea: What to Expect
Expect a day filled with sun, fun, and spectacular scenery. The boat’s stability and comfortable layout mean you can lounge all day without discomfort. The short safety briefing ensures everyone on board knows how to operate or behave safely.
If you rent a skipper, your experience becomes even more relaxed—allowing you to focus on enjoying the views and company. Speaking with guides fluent in English, German, Italian, and Serbo-Croatian, makes communication easy—no language barriers to worry about.
What’s Not Included & Extra Costs
Keep in mind, fuel is not included in the rental price, so you’ll want to budget for that. The cost of additional watersport gear, like tubes or wakeboards, is separate, but many guests find it well worth the extra.
Pet owners should note that pets are allowed but come with an extra charge payable in cash. This is a great option if you’re traveling with furry friends and want to include them in your coastal adventure.
