Boat hire on Korcula island

If you would like to experience riding a small boat in the waters of Korcula island you can perhaps decide to rent a small (or larger) motorboat for a day or two to cruise along the coast of the island and along the way stopping off in some of the beautiful bays.

There are plenty of places you can rent the boat from including local travel agencies or more specialized car and boat rental agencies located in most of the coastal villages and towns on the island, in Lumbarda, Korcula old town, Racisce, Brna, Prigradica, Prizba or Vela Luka.

Boat license

If you would like to hike a boat anywhere in Croatia or in Korcula you have to have at least a basic motor boat license. Without the license, you are allowed to sail only by rowing boat, by kayak or canoe or by any other similar small and basic vessel (like an inflatable small boat).

The basic requirement of boat license is something you will be asked to provide before you can rent any other boat including a basic motor boat. You will also be asked for your ID document.

Dinghy rental

If you are a very inexperienced sailor and you have no motorboat license, the best option for you can be renting a small dinghy boat (rowboats without any engine) or kayak. Renting one of there can be a great way to experience some open water rowing in a small plastic boat.

I have one and enjoy rowing on it any day when the sea is not rough but calm. You can also rent an inflatable dinghy with or without a motor (power engine). In both cases, you will get one set of oars which is enough to sail around the harbor or small beach on a calm day without wind.
