Cruisers who keep their boats in Croatia are facing an enormous tax increase , which could amount to more than 400%. Following new regulations brought out by the Croatian government, it is feared hundreds, if not thousands of boat owners, will leave Croatia rather than pay the increase.

Changes to regulations in Greece and Turkey in recent years also caused boat owners to move elsewhere.
The so-called sojourn tax was reported in the Official Gazette of the Croatian Republic last month and lists the following scale of payments:
