An Introduction to the Merry Fisher 795 Experience

If you’re considering renting a boat in Croatia, the Merry Fisher 795 stands out as an appealing choice. It’s not just about getting on the water—it’s about having a smooth, enjoyable experience that combines performance and safety. What’s nice is how straightforward the process seems, with a short safety briefing and all equipment included. This makes it accessible even if you’re not a seasoned boater, especially if you choose to rent a skipper.
What really caught our eye is the boat’s spacious interior and seaworthy design. It’s built for easy handling, whether you’re an experienced driver or someone new to boating. Plus, the possibility to rent water toys like wakeboards or tubes adds a layer of fun that could turn a simple cruise into a full-day adventure. The price—$765 for a group of up to 8—feels reasonable considering the flexibility and the kind of experience you’re getting. It’s not a cheap thrill, but it’s good value for the experience and privacy it offers.
One thing to bear in mind is that fuel is not included, so you’ll want to budget for that. Also, a boating license is required unless you’re planning to hire a skipper.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The rental package includes the berth, so you’re set for a full day on the water without worrying about additional docking fees. Safety equipment is also provided, which is reassuring whether you’re a confident boater or a first-timer.
However, fuel isn’t included—so it’s wise to consider how much time you’ll spend out on the water and plan your budget accordingly. Final cleaning isn’t included either, which is typical for rentals but worth noting if you prefer a fuss-free experience.
Meeting Point and Practical Details

You’ll recognize the team by their blue Phoenix T-shirts, making it easy to find your group at the start. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, so no worries about getting lost. If you don’t have a boating license, renting a skipper is an option—adding peace of mind if you’re new to boating or unfamiliar with the area.
The tour is conducted in several languages including English, German, Italian, and Serbo-Croatian, making it accessible for diverse travelers. It’s best suited for those who can bring their boating license or opt to rent a skipper, as that’s a requirement for operation.
The Itinerary and What You Can Expect

While the tour’s main draw is the boat itself, what you do on the water makes all the difference. You can choose to relax on one of the popular sandy beaches—think golden sands and clear waters—perfect for swimming or sunbathing. Many travelers mention the peaceful bays around Krk as ideal spots for a quiet lunch or a quick dip.
If you’re more active, renting water toys like a wakeboard, water skis, or a tube is a good option. These add a layer of excitement and are perfect for groups that want to combine some adrenaline with their sightseeing. The boat’s seaworthy design and stability mean you’ll feel secure even in choppier waters, making it suitable for families or less experienced boaters.
Some reviews mention the boat’s performance—it’s described as a “speedboat with a strong seaworthy identity,” which means you can comfortably explore multiple islands or cruise around quieter bays without concern. The boat’s space and comfort are also praised, with plenty of room for everyone to relax.
