Before Booking

Do I need a boat license?

Yes, to operate the boat independently, you need a valid boat skipper's license or an international ICC license (International Certificate of Competence).

If you don't have a license, you can hire a skipper who will safely take you across the sea.

How many people can sail on the boat?

The Karnic SL 642 boat has a capacity of up to 7 people (including the skipper, if hired). For safe and comfortable sailing, we recommend 5-6 people.

How do I book the boat?

You can make a reservation in several ways:

  • Through the contact form on our website
  • By email at info@rentas.si
  • By phone at +386 71 391 928

After confirming availability, we will send you a quote. The reservation is valid upon receipt of the advance payment (30% of the total price).

How far in advance do I need to book?

We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance; during peak season (July, August), as early as possible – even a month or more in advance. For panoramic trips, it is sometimes possible to book a day or two in advance.

Prices and Payment

Is fuel included in the price?

No, fuel is not included in the rental price. You receive the boat with a full tank and must return it with a full tank. Alternatively, you can refuel upon return and be charged for the actual fuel consumed.

Average consumption depends on the sailing style – with calm cruising, approximately 15-20 liters per hour.

What is the security deposit and how do I pay it?

The security deposit is 500 € and is paid upon boat pick-up. Payment is possible in cash or by credit card pre-authorization.

The deposit is fully refunded upon return of the boat in undamaged condition.

What are the cancellation conditions?

Cancellation conditions:

  • More than 30 days before the start: 100% refund of the advance payment
  • 15-30 days before the start: 50% refund of the advance payment
  • Less than 15 days before the start: the advance payment is non-refundable

In case of bad weather, the rental will be rescheduled to another date by agreement.

On the Day of Rental

Where do I pick up the boat?

The boat is picked up at Portorož marina. The exact location and arrival instructions will be provided upon booking confirmation.

What happens in case of bad weather?
