2020 statistics on boats and yachts in Croatia despite Covid-19

Actually, one has always known it: water sports enthusiasts, especially boat and yacht owners are among the most loyal guests in Croatia. To confirm this thesis, the Croatian Ministry of Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, according to the correct translation, has now provided the corresponding figures. While according to the Croatian Ministry of Tourism the number of tourists decreased by about...

If one analyses the daily news with regard to COVID-19 infections caused by sars-CoV-2, it sometimes makes the inclined reader smile, despite the serious background, when one reads the results of studies that are actually meant seriously. For example, the Croatian media are currently reporting on a British study which concludes that people who walk at less than 4.8 kilometres...

Print out and carry along the receipts for the tourist tax <\/h2>\r\nIn the initial phase, it is recommended that you take all correspondence with the Croatian National Tourist Board regarding the boat or yacht documents, so that you can show them at any inspections.\r\n

On homepage of the Croatian National Tourist Board<\/h2>\r\nIf you do not want to book a package over a certain period of time, do not choose one of the boat symbols on the Croatian National Tourist Board's website, but choose the \"Payment by number of persons\" section. Here it is possible to pay the tourist tax, or as it says on the page of the Croatian National Tourist Board, the \"tourist fee\", both per person and exactly for the desired days.\r\n

Overdue solution<\/h2>\r\nThe solution of paying the tourist tax for boats and yachts was long overdue. The only regret is that a solution has still not been found for tourists from countries such as Germany or Austria with which the permit can also be paid for online. Who would like to save himself this, however, can still go the way about SeaHelp<\/a>.","post_title":"Croatian National Tourist Board - new portal: <\/span><\/span>Pay tourist tax for boats and yachts online now","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"tourist-tax-online-nautika-evisitor-hr","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-07-18 13:22:38","post_modified_gmt":"2020-07-18 11:22:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/news-general\/tourist-tax-online-nautika-evisitor-hr\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":22295,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2020-07-15 02:07:26","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-15 00:07:26","post_content":"If one analyses the daily news with regard to COVID-19 infections caused by sars-CoV-2, it sometimes makes the inclined reader smile, despite the serious background, when one reads the results of studies that are actually meant seriously.

Let's just check this news under the heading \"Unnecessary knowledge\" and move on to the more useful news.\r\n

Number of COVID-19 new infections declining again<\/h2>\r\nThe sharp increase in COVID-19 new infections in the last few days, especially in Croatia, seems to have returned to a more or less normal level and has halved from more than 100 new infections daily. In the last 24 hours 52 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 virus infections were registered, the number of currently sick (active cases) confirmed in Croatia is now 1183 patients in total. Among them there are 129 patients in hospital, 5 of whom were connected to a ventilator, as announced on 14 July 2020 at the daily press conference of the Ministry of Health.\r\n

Keep up to date with the Corona pandemic. This table from Johns Hopkins University is intended to provide neutral information about the current epidemiological situation in Croatia. At the same time, however, the figures should be classified realistically.<\/div>\r\n

Starting point Istria: Home for the elderly<\/h2>\r\nCOVID-19 infections reported from Istria have their origin mainly in a nursing home in Umag. In general, the corona hotspots are located largely outside the regions in the east of the country visited by tourists.\r\n

Tourists infected<\/h2>\r\nAt this point, however, it should not be concealed that new infections with COVID-19 have also been detected in tourists. But before some media put the topic in the spotlight again, we provide our readers with the background information: The tourists are a Serbian citizen, three Swedes, one British and two Americans. All of them were infected in their home countries, not in Croatia. In the end it is not surprising, because the epidemiological situation in Serbia as well as in Sweden, England and the USA is much worse than in Germany, Austria or Croatia.\r\n

Masked pledge<\/a> is kept<\/h2>\r\nIf you know these backgrounds, you will certainly be more relaxed when dealing with COVID-19. In Croatia, it seems as if the lesson has been learned from the last high infection numbers. In the cities and municipalities, after first reports from holidaymakers, one can see that mask duty and distance rules are observed as far as possible. Whether shopping in the supermarket or entering public buildings - the mask is part of it again in Croatia. Also the waiters in the restaurants have to do their not always so easy job now with a mouth and nose protection. According to initial reports, inspections by the authorities are the order of the day.\r\n

Holiday fun video on Instagram<\/a> and Facebook<\/a><\/h2>\r\nThe fact that despite the restrictions, which were partly reintroduced in other countries, you can have fun and enjoyment while on vacation in Croatia is shown in an Instagram video on the SeaHelp channel. Water sports enthusiasts cavort in a bay, which on superficial observation can give the impression that the \"Ballermann mood\" is now spilling over into Croatia. But if you take a closer look, you'll soon see that families have fun here while observing the distance rules - just as the \"Corona etiquette\" demands. After a long bath in the Adriatic, the only thing you can do without is washing your hands.\r\n

Epidemiological exceptional position for skippers<\/h2>\r\nFor this reason alone, we stick to our opinion: For water sports enthusiasts, who have had a special position in the entry regulations since the beginning of the corona crisis, there should be no greater risk of corona infection in the future either. Seasoned with a pinch of common sense, they can currently even enjoy a stay in Croatia, which has not been possible in recent years due to the large number of tourists.\r\n

Experience Croatia in peace now<\/h2>\r\nMany SeaHelp members even report after their return from the Adriatic country about paradisiacal conditions and a nature that seems to be recovering strongly right now. The respite from mass tourism is obviously doing her good.\r\n

And this is exactly where Istria comes into play, especially the Medulin region.\r\n\r\nIn times of the coronavirus it was largely spared from infections with Sars-CoV-2. Not least because suitable measures were taken early on to counteract the spread of the virus. This is why the region is particularly suitable for trailer boat drivers who are looking for a safe haven in two respects: On the one hand, to safely store the boat and trailer, but also to save themselves a long journey to the southern regions of Croatia from Austria or Germany.\r\n

New SeaHelp cooperation partner<\/h2>\r\nThe new SeaHelp cooperation partner<\/a>, the tourism agency Marco Polo from Medulin, offers SeaHelp members accommodation in special apartments, which also have enough space on the property to park the trailer safely and of course free of charge. SeaHelp members also receive a 10% discount on the apartment prices. All you need to do is provide your SeaHelp membership number when booking.\r\n

Safe berth in the city harbour<\/h2>\r\nThe location of Medulin in the south of the Istrian peninsula is made even more attractive by the fact that the city harbour always has a suitable, reasonably priced berth for trailer boats, which can easily be booked even before departure. And of course Medulin also has a corresponding maritime infrastructure in the form of various service companies.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"City Offers protection against wind and waves: The city harbour of Medulin\/Istria, where sports boat drivers are offered cheap moorings. In combination with an apartment in Medulin a good combination.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n

Marco Polo: second-generation family business<\/h2>\r\nThe Agency Marco Polo in Medulin<\/a> is a long-established family business. It is now run by the second generation and offers mainly apartments and holiday homes or villas in the region. Of course, German is spoken and the attentive staff can be relied on if a minor problem should arise.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"Croatia<\/a> Villa Marko: This fantastic villa with pool is a magical attraction for every holiday lover. Those who have been guests here once, will surely come back again.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n

Attractive water sports area in Croatia<\/h2>\r\nThe Medulin region has a lot to offer for water sports enthusiasts: Restaurants that are easy to reach from the water, some with their own jetty, the proximity of the city of Pula, which is almost easier to reach on your own keel than by car due to the constant parking problems, and of course the Cape Kamenjak<\/a> with its countless bays and protected anchorages.\r\n

Istria: Interesting hinterland<\/h2>\r\nThose who can do without their boat for a day should not miss to visit the Istrian hinterland. Wineries, agro-tourism enterprises and of course the numerous, still original restaurants off the usual tourist paths invite you to visit at any time.\r\n

Easily accessible via motorway<\/h2>\r\nAdded to this is the exceptionally good transport connection. If you come from Germany or Austria, you can practically take the motorway all the way to the Medulin exit and after just a few kilometres you will be on the well-developed country roads.\r\n

10 % discount and safe parking space for trailers<\/h2>\r\nSeaHelp members who wish to take advantage of the \"apartment plus trailer boat parking space\" offer should contact the Marco Polo agency by e-mail and provide travel time and details of the desired apartment. As an answer they will receive concrete proposals with apartments, on whose yard a safe parking place for the trailer is guaranteed. In addition, the agency can of course also arrange for the trailer to be parked near the apartment. Of course, there is nothing to prevent you from making an inquiry by telephone. When booking, it is absolutely necessary to give your SeaHelp membership number to be able to take advantage of the 10% discount.\r\n

ACI Marina Pomer, ACI Marina Pula and Marina Veruda<\/h2>\r\nMedulin itself has developed from a small fishing village to a region fully developed for tourism, which also has its charm for sports boaters: Small offshore islands, bays with crystal-clear water and a maritime infrastructure that is unparalleled in Istria. In the immediate vicinity there are the ACI Marina Pomer<\/a>, the ACI Marina Pula<\/a> and the Marina Veruda<\/a>.\r\n

Bays and anchorages for boaters<\/h2>\r\nOn the water it is possible to skipper in the direction of Cape Kamenjak. The peninsula, which has lost none of its original charm, is considered a special attraction both for sports boaters and for guests who want to visit this unspoilt region with its numerous bays and anchorages from the land side.\r\n\r\n
