Fuel

Before you come alongside the fuel dock

  • In July and August the queues are longest on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings, when the charter fleet returns to base. Refuel earlier in the day or the day before.
  • On the smaller islands the stations work reduced or split hours, and out of season only a few hours a day. Call before you come.
  • The depth alongside a fuel dock is often limited. Sailboats with a deeper draught should check the depth in the pilot book or by phone.
  • When you come alongside, switch off the engine, close the hatches and do not light the stove while refuelling. Petrol vapour is heavier than air and collects in the bilge.

Frequently asked questions

Are boat fuel stations open all year round?

The larger stations in towns and marinas are open all year round, while stations on the smaller islands work reduced hours or are closed out of season. Check the opening hours before you arrive.

Can I pay for fuel by card?

At the great majority of stations, yes. At the smaller island stations it is useful to have cash as well.

Safety

Emergency at sea

Croatia's national maritime search and rescue coordination centre (MRCC Rijeka) is on watch 24 hours a day. Save the number before you set off.

Before you call, have ready the boat's position (coordinates or the nearest headland, island or bay), the number of people on board and a description of the problem. A call to 112 is put through to the maritime rescue centre.

Get out on the water yourself

Find a boat directly from its owner and arrange the rental with no commission.
