A: Yes, you need to purchase a sports fishing license. It can be arranged in advance on your request. The license price depends on the period of your stay (e.g. one, two weeks).

You should bring a lot of social games to entertain your children and consider choosing shorter routes and visiting marinas more frequently.
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
A: It depends on the season that you have chosen for sailing. If going on summer vacation pack as you would for any resort. Sailing vacations are casual by day, whether you're on the ship or ashore. If going out for evening dinner, for example, you'll probably want to wear something more formal.
If you decide to sail before and after season period, especially if you are joining some regatta event do not forget to bring oilskin suit, sailing glows, a warm cap and warm shoes/boots which are not going to allow you to slip while on deck.
WHERE SHOULD I BERTH, IN MARINA OR IN THE BAYS?
A: If you have batteries full, sufficient food and water, you can spend the night on buoy or anchor in one of the numerous, well-secluded bays along the Adriatic coast. But, always check the weather forecast first! If using the skipper service, your skipper will take care of mooring safety. It is always recommended to accept skipper’s suggestion. Local skippers are familiar with all unpredicted weather conditions and local customs.
