BUYING A YACHT IN CROATIA: INSURANCE Insurance can be a challenge. Aquila notes the challenges of finding insurance, being a U.S citizen with a U.S flag boat in a foreign country and how he got it sorted. =========================== HUGE SHOUT OUT to Aquila and Dawn. Amazing couple to partner with in finding them their dream come true yacht in Croatia. Check their Facebook Page out and follow their adventures here: https://www.facebook.com/SailingDektos Listen to more of their story here ➡︎ ➡︎. https://youtu.be/-K4Ehi6SSEw =========================== Transcript Looking for insurance was a huge impact for us. The insurance we went through probably 15 different insurance agencies looking for someone who would insure the crossing for the Atlantic, insure the boat while it was in Croatia. And being a U.S citizen with a U.S flag boat in a foreign country not a lot of people were interested. The tip that we actually got that worked out was from Nick for UNIQUA Insurance and they were super helpful. Easy, it just fell right into place. Then came the mooring in order to have the insurance we had to have a mooring which meant that we would, we had to go back through and call just about every Marina in Croatia which there's a lot! =========================== ⛵️ ⛵️ Looking to buy a yacht in Croatia?

Giorno 269 - L’arrivo a Madeira Pensavate tutti che saremmo andati a Gibilterra. In effetti, lo pensavamo anche noi 😅 Poi studiando l’evolversi del meteo abbiamo visto che si formerà a breve un vento forte che soffia da nord chiamato Aliseo portoghese. Sono previste raffiche anche a 50 nodi con 5 metri di onde al traverso. Non avendo nessuna fretta, abbiamo preso l’unica decisione possibile: deviare su Madeira e attendere che il soffio di questo aliseo si esaurisca. Inoltre oggi pomeriggio abbiamo sperimentato un assaggio di quello che sarebbe stato attraversare quel tratto di mare con condizioni stressanti per noi ma soprattutto per la barca m e siamo stati felici di aver scelto per la sicurezza. Già 30 nodi con 2/2,5m di onda al traverso non sono una passeggiata, non immagino il doppio. L’arrivo invece è stato tranquillo, perché una volta agganciata l’isola siamo stati al riparo dal vento e dalle onde. La vera sfida è stata arrivare alle 3 svegli e operativi 😂 Comunque tutto è bene quel che finisce bene. Abbiamo trascorso una squisita settimana. Tra pesca ricca come non mai (una mattina abbiamo ributtato ben 4 tonnetti in mare), veleggiate sia tranquille sia sportive, ottima compagnia, buon bilanciamento tra serietà e ironia, siamo più che soddisfatti del viaggio. Domani, compatibilmente al lavoro, visiteremo l’isola tutti insieme. Chi è già stato a Madeira? Piaciuta? A domani! 😄 C.
Hello! I'm Alice, and I liveaboard the narrowboat Ganymede in a marina on the beautiful Llangollen Canal. This is my first boat, and I've only had her for a year! I'm not quite the noob I was a year ago, but I've still got plenty of things to learn. You can watch all my adventures so far, and do join me for year two!
