SAILING IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

The skipper of a vessel entering the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia by sea is obliged to take the shortest route to the nearest port open
to international traffic, in order to perform border control formalities, to obtain the relevant official vignette (sticker) and for verification of crew members at the Harbour Master’s Office, or branch office.

The skipper of a vessel which is brought into Croatia by road, or which is moored in a port or in some other approved location within the Republic of Croatia, is obliged to obtain the official vignette (sticker) and to verify the list of crew members, in the Harbour Master’s Office, or a branch office, prior to setting out to sea.

The official vignette (sticker) is not obligatory for a vessel the length of which is less than 2.5 metres, or with a total driving power of less than 5
KW. The official vignette (sticker) must be displayed in a visible location on the vessel, and its period of validity is one year from the date of issue.

A vessel sailing into the Republic of Croatia must carry the following original documents:

The official vignette (sticker)
Verified list of crew and passengers
Verified list of persons staying aboard the vessel (when the same persons are embarking/disembarking at Croatian ports)
Proof of seaworthiness of the vessel
Proof that the skipper of the vessel is able and qualified to command the vessel
Proof of third party insurance (for vessels with a driving power exceeding 15 KW)
Proof of ownership, or the owner’s authorisation to use the vessel.

By obtaining the official vignette (sticker) the following dues will have been settled:

Fee for safety of sailing
Fee for using facilities ensuring
safety of sailing (lighthouses, buoys, etc.)
Fee for maritime information chart
Administrative fee.

REGISTRATION OF PERSONS ABOARD A VESSEL

The list of crew and passengers includes crew members and passengers who are on the vessel, and is approved in the Harbour Master’s Office or branch office. All vessels entering Croatia by sea must maintain a list of crew and passengers. If the skipper of a vessel does not intend to change crew and/or passengers,
he does not need to further report to the Harbour Master’s Office or branch office. In Croatia, the skipper of a vessel can disembark his crew and /or passengers with whom he arrived from abroad, and take on a new crew and/or passengers, but in which case he is obliged to disembark such persons outside the
Republic of Croatia, or to compile a List of Persons. All changes in the List of crew and passengers must be reported to the Harbour Master’s Office or its branch office, and which must be approved by the same. Vessels arriving to the Republic of Croatia by land, or wintering here, and which do not have the facilities for extended stay of persons aboard (i.e. vessels without berths) do not need to maintain a List of crew and passengers. Such vessels must
maintain only a Passenger List. The skipper of a vessel arriving to Croatia by sea is obliged to obtain such a List from the Harbour Master’s Office, or its branch office, in the event that the same persons are being taken on board and disembarked in Croatian ports. The Passenger List can be obtained immediately after obtaining the official vignette (sticker), or later on when new passengers are being taken on board the vessel, but at the latest before the vessel leaves the port. In the event that new names are added to the Passenger List, such List must be registered with the Harbour Master’s Office, or its branch
office, with each such change. The Passenger List is to be approved by vignette counterfoil.
The total number of persons listed in the Passenger List cannot exceed the double capacity of the unit capacity of the vessel, multiplied by 30%. The capacity of a vessel is determined according to a vessel’s documents. In the event that those documents do not contain such data, capacity is determined according to the Book of Rules for Boats and Yachts and the Book of Rules regulating the statutory certification of boats and yachts.
Children below the age of 12 need not be entered into the Passenger List and are not included in the number of persons who can embark a given vessel; the same applies to professional crew members. Persons staying aboard a vessel while it is in port or at anchorage are not entered into the Passenger List.
