FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about the platform.

For guests

How do I find a boat for rent?

On the Boats page you can filter listings by destination, boat type, number of guests, and price range. When you find a suitable boat, one click reveals the owner's contact details.

Do I need to register to browse boats?

No. Browsing boats, day trips, destinations, and skippers is completely public and requires no registration.

What does the BeeGuard GPS badge on a listing mean?

Boats with a confirmed BeeGuard GPS badge carry a special public mark. This means the owner submitted GPS account or device details for review, giving guests an additional transparency signal.

Can I track the boat during the rental?

Navigate Croatia does not provide guest-facing live tracking in the public listing flow. If an owner uses a separate BeeGuard GPS monitoring option, they can explain it directly during your rental communication.

Do I need a licence to operate a boat?

It depends on the type of vessel. Every listing clearly states which licence category is required. If no licence is needed or you'd like professional assistance, browse the Skippers page.

How do I contact the owner?

Each boat listing shows the owner's available contact channels — phone, WhatsApp, or email. Navigate Croatia doesn't mediate communication: guests and owners connect directly.

Is Navigate Croatia a charter agency?

No. Navigate Croatia connects guests with boat owners, tour operators, and skippers. The platform is not a party to their agreements, charges no commission, and does not process payments.

For boat owners

How much does it cost to list a boat?

Listing is free. No commission, no hidden fees. Create an account, add your vessel details, photos and price, submit for moderation, and after approval your listing goes live.

What do I get as an owner on the platform?

A free boat listing, direct guest inquiries without middlemen, view statistics (how many guests saw your listing and revealed your contact details), and a GPS badge with priority in search results if you use the BeeGuard GPS system.

What is BeeGuard GPS and how much does it cost?

BeeGuard GPS is a vessel monitoring system that, depending on the package and installation, can track position, route history, engine activity, battery status, and alerts. Packages currently start at EUR 159, while the final price depends on the selected device, service period, and product variant. BeeDigital prepares the device, SIM card, and app access, and the customer installs the device using the supplied instructions. Check current packages and prices at beedigital.hr.

What does the BeeGuard GPS badge mean for my listing?

Boats with a confirmed BeeGuard GPS badge get a visible mark on their listing and priority in search results. Navigate Croatia shows the badge only after review.

Can I pause my listing when the boat is unavailable?

Yes. In your dashboard you can temporarily hide a listing and reactivate it when the vessel is available again.

How are listings moderated?

Every listing goes through a review before publication. The Navigate Croatia team checks basic details, photos, and compliance with the platform rules.

For skippers

How do I create a skipper profile?

On the Partners page, click "Create skipper profile" or register directly with the skipper role selected. Fill in your experience, region, languages, rates, and documents, then submit for approval.

Is creating a profile free?

Yes. Creating a profile and appearing in the skipper directory is free.
