WHEN TO CHARTER IN ZADAR

The charter season in Zadar begins in April and lasts until November. The sailing conditions are exquisite, and the weather is excellent all year round. We recommend booking your yacht charter in Zadar at the end of June and first 2 weeks of July, so you can enjoy ideal weather conditions.

The most popular time for a yacht charter in Zadar region is during the summer months i.e. between June and September. Summer in this region means that you will be blessed with 13 hours of sunshine per day and temperatures between 25 and 30 C ° (77-86 Fahrenheit).

The Mediterranean climate promises a dry and warm summer with winds of no more than 10-20 knots. The peak season for sailors is July and August, with an insanely high number of sunny days and a great number of yachts on the water, while June, September, and October offer equally satisfying sailing conditions but fewer crowds.

For a truly tranquil yacht charter in Zadar, April, May, and November are ideal for exploring the 300+ islands, islets, and reefs. Thanks to the low boat traffic, the underwater world is at its peak during these months. You will have the opportunity to explore the region in all its glory, without the summer crowds. Imagine waking up on your yacht in a peaceful, pristine bay and seeing curious dolphins jumping around your boat.

The winds are particularly reliable during the yachting season when local yacht lovers claim they can set their watch by relying on their frequency. The mistral wind blows during the day, peaking between 9 am and 12 pm, then taking a break for a couple of hours before returning at 3 pm (“after lunch”) for a few more hours until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze.

Zadar has mild winters and warm summers, but the temperatures are never too extreme. In the yacht charter season from May to September, conditions are practically perfect – the temperature is somewhere between 20 and 25 C °   (68-77 Fahrenheit) which means swimsuits, light clothes and bare feet are the order of the day.

The Adriatic is very well protected and enclosed, so temperatures never drop below 15 degrees, and the sea is swimmable all year round. By the end of May, swimming in the sea becomes pleasant and refreshing at around 20 degrees, and by the end of August, at 25 degrees, it feels like you are swimming in a pool.

Superyacht Zadar Charter: Why Hire in Zadar?

Alright, let's chat about Zadar first and what you can do in this beautiful city . Picture a city with historic stories, tucked by the sea and filled with culture and great spots to visit. That's Zadar for you in a nutshell! 

Over time, it’s not just the history and culture that's made it a famous and a super popular tourist destination but also its position as a top place for big fancy superyachts as they have some pretty incredible marina facilities in Zadar.

Besides that, there is a lot of other stunning sites to visit whilst on your superyacht in Zadar.:

The Sea Organ: The Sea Organ in Zadar is a unique architectural marvel that is situated right on the city's waterfront in Croatia.

Designed by architect Nikola Bašić and it was opened to the public in 2005, this wonderfully clever installation consists of a series of tubes located beneath a set of large marble steps right on the sea front. 

As the waves crash and break into the tubes, they push air through them, producing harmonious and ever-changing musical notes. It reminds me a little of whale songs. 

This unending Adriatic powered concert, driven by the motion of the sea, transforms the shoreline into a living musical instrument, offering both locals and tourists a tranquil and mesmerising sonic experience. It really a beautiful thing.

Roman Ruins: Zadar has a rich Roman heritage, which is still very much evident in its many preserved ruins. The most notable of these is the Roman Forum, constructed between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century AD, has ended up being the city's unofficial central square and social hub. 

Nearby, you can also find the remains of Roman streets, parts of the aqueduct, and other architectural fragments, underscoring the city's significance back in the  Roman times.

The famous Zadar Sunset: Ever seen the sky turn a billion shades of red, pink, orange, and purple? Well, that's a typical evening in Zadar. Zadar’s sunset is one of the most spectacular in the world.

The city offers an unobstructed view of the sun dipping into the Adriatic Sea, painting the sky with an jaw dropping array of orange, pink, red and purple. 

Even the legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock once called Zadar's sunset to be the most beautiful in the world after his visit in 1964.

It is often best viewed from thins Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun installations, but let’s be honest, the best place to experience thus sunset will be on your very own superyacht from Zadar!

Chartering a Superyacht in Zadar: Things to Consider

Renting a superyacht in Zadar is similar to choosing the fiinest luxury hotel to spend your holiday. Just like high-end accommodation on land, there's a perfect superyacht for everyone! Here's what you should think about:

How Big Is Just Right? Think about how many friends or family you want to bring. Pick a superyacht that fits everyone comfortably! Superyachts are generally very large with multiple berths, or bedrooms as us land lovers call them.

All the Extras: Most superyachts come with some pretty wild stuff, like spots for helicopters to land , additional speedboats, scuba diving gear , or even mini-movie theaters. Just about anything you can imagine, there are no limits when it comes to superyacht features these days!

The Crew: Having a friendly and professional crew to help you out can make your trip even better. So, find a yacht with a crew that'll treat you like royalty.

To be honest, at this level the crews are generally impeccable and will create an environment, service and a trip that is unbeatable. I personally know a few friends who work on these level of yachts and the level of service they look to create is immaculate excellence!

The Sustainability Perspective: Eco-friendly Superyachts

There has been a lot of talk in the international eco-press about how Superyachts can be more Earth-friendly? Well, there's some changes in the yachting world!

Green Waves: More and more, yacht makers are thinking about our planet. These designers and engineers are some of the best on the planet.

Of course, they listen, take note of the eco-issues and are building boats that are kinder to Mother Earth.

Smart Boat Designs: You may have noticed that over the last few years superyachts are looking more and more sleek with new sophisticated designs being introduced.

Yes, superyachts are always getting makeovers! They're now designed to use less fuel and let out fewer emissions, all while zipping around the sea quicker and smoother than ever. Clever stuff.

Why Go Green on the Sea? Choosing an eco-friendly superyacht yacht in Croatia isn't just trendy or a fad; it's good for the sea and air.

It means much cleaner waters for all the marine life to live in and clearer skies for us to enjoy. 

So, the next time you think of Superboats being unkind to the environment, remember there's a wave of change making them much greener and cooler!

Yacht Charter Zadar

Zadar - a city of less than 80,000 inhabitants, is mainly influenced by Venetian and Roman influences. The construction of the city and walls of Zadar testify that.

The historic city center is fully restored and offers a beautiful setting for an evening stroll at the end of a sailing trip.

By the end of the 19th century Zadar served as a fortress to the Venetians. It is located on a narrow peninsula on the Adriatic sea and is separated from the mainland by a moat. As the capital city of northern Dalmatia, Zadar is an ideal base for your yacht charter. The arrival is quick and easy, it is connected by the European Route 65 and the Highway 1. 

The Zadar archipelago, with Ugljan, Pasman, Dugi Otok, Iz and the Kornati National Park with its 147 islands, makes Zadar ideal for a nice cruise. The driving to Zadar (even at night) is absolutely not a problem.

Marina Zadar Map

Zadar was a settlement already in the Illyrian times. The Romans called it Iader (Iadera), and Konstantinos Porphyrogennetos mentioned it in the 10th century as Diadora.

In the 2nd Century BC, the Romans conquered the city, built a capitol, fortifications, baths and an aqueduct. After 59 BC Zadar became a Roman Municipium, from 48 BC it is a colony of Roman citizens. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire Zadar became the capital of the Byzantine province of Dalmatia. From then on, the ruler of the city changed: firstly the Franks, and then in the 9th century Byzantine. After the plundering by pirates Zadar went 1000 under the protection of Venice and was ceded by the Byzantine emperor Alexius I formally.

In the 10th and especially in the 11th century Croatian rulers have held the actual control of the city. Zadar was the first time in 1069 under King Petar Kresimir IV to Croatia. In 1102 came Croatia, which also means Zadar with an agreement (pacta conventa) into a personal union with Hungary. From the early 12th century Zadar was attacked several times by the Republic of Venice. In 1118 hosts of the Hungarian-Croatian king Stephen II won over the Venetians and Ordelafo Faliero, the Doge of Venice, was killed outside the town. In 1202 Zadar was firstly under siege and eventually conquered by the Venetians with the help of the French Crusader army.

The Venetian and Croatian-Hungarian rule changed now. After several insurrections, Zadar came under the possession of the Hungarian-Croatian king Louis I (Treaty of Zadar in 1358). After his death, ruled king Sigismund, then Ladislas of Naples. He sold in 1409 Zadar and his rights on Dalmatia to Venice for 100,000 ducats.

Tha securing of the city began, because the Venetians took over the political and economic protection of the city. When the Ottomans conquered the hinterland in the early 16th century, the town became a strong fortification, that secured the Venetian trade in the Adriatic, as well as the administrative center for the Venetian possessions in Dalmatia. Zadar was the capital of the Venetian province double Dalmazia e Albania until 1797.

After the fall of Venice in 1797 Zadar came to Austria. The city then ceded in 1805 to France. During the French domination in Zadar, the first newspaper in the Croatian language, the Kraljski Dalmatin (1806-1810) was published.

In December 1813 Zadar came after a six-day bombardment after capitulation again to Austria, in whose possession it remained until 1918. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, which was one of the Austrian crown lands. In the second half of the 19th century Zadar was a center of Croatian cultural and national revival in Dalmatia, which actually represented a first-time nation-building. From 1838 appeared the Srpsko-dalamatinski magazine and from 1844 the literary magazine Zora dalmatinska. From 1862, the newspaper Il Nazionale was published twice a week, and once a week with the supplement PRILOG k Narodnom listu in Croatian. These were the newspaper of the Narodnjaci (English: the National), who wanted the Kingdom of Dalmatia to add Croatia and Slavonia. In the same year Matica dalmatinska was formed in Zadar, a Slavic cultural organization, after the model of Matica srpska and Matica Hrvatska. In 1863 Slavjanska čitaonica was opened in the city, a reading room, which was also the venue for Narodnjaci in the Dalmatian parliament (sabor).

Zadar was a garrison town of k.u.k Army until the First World War. In 1914 the I. and III. Battalion of the Militia Infantry Regiment N.23 was stationed here. Zadar fell through the Border Treaty of Rapallo (1920) to Italy after World War I. During World War II, the coastal town was the target of heavy air raids, which caused severe damage to the historic sites. The city was part of the Republic of Croatia within Yugoslavia in 1945/47. The largely Italian-speaking population then left almost completely the city and went to Italy (see Foibe massacre). Since 1991, Zadar is part of the independent Republic of Croatia, and is becoming one of the main Adriatic seaports.

Zadar, located on a narrow peninsula on the Adriatic Sea and the Zadar Channel, is separated from the mainland by a moat. Zadar was a fortress until 1873. The city has a large port, four gates (including the Port Gate with a Roman triumphal arch and was built after the design of Sanmicheli’s Porta di Terraferma) and consists of four districts. The majority of the old town is in Venetian architectural style. Places worth to mention are the Lord's Square (Piazza dei Signori) and Gradska Straza (including the Public Library), and the fountain square with ancient Corinthian column. Such can also be found on the Simeon square.

Culturally and  historically significant churches:

• the Cathedral of St. Anastasia (Croatian Sv. Stošija), a Romanesque basilica from the second half of the 13th Century., With beautiful marble altars and paintings
• the Church of St. Elias
• the Church of St. Simeon with the ornate reliquary of St. Simeon
• the church of the convent of St. Mary in the Lombard style
• the former church of the Holy Trinity (the oldest in the city, according to the legend was built from the ruins of a juno temple in the 9th century), now Museum of Antiquities
• the Church of St. Donat from the 9th century
• Church of the Holy Chrysogonus (Sv. Krševan)

Other important monuments are:

• the Roman Forum
• the former palace of the priors
• the Archbishop's Palace,
• the Arsenal

Architecturally remarkable wells are: Pet Bunara ("Five Wells"). Here can also be found the remains of a Roman aqueduct. Along with many other religious communities in Zadar, the Order of the Carmelites is represented.

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Zadar

There’s so much to see and so many places to visit from Zadar, that one week just isn’t long enough to see and visit them all. Most places you go, you’ll find unspoilt beaches, bays, cliffs and islands, along with idyllic little fishing and farming villages, so you can’t go too far wrong, even if you just follow your nose and decide spontaneously where to go.

This route takes in a lot of the nearby islands and clocks in at 116 nautical miles – which works out at just under 20 nM a day. As you’ll likely be going at a pace of 5 knots or above, that means the sailing should only take 4-5 hours a day, which leaves plenty of time to go at a leisurely pace, to explore your start or end destinations in depth, or to take your time and bob into bays, swim on some beaches, practice man-overboard drills, or just relax.

As we’ll be spending a night in the Kornati marine national park, it’s worth buying an entry pass in advance (since the ticket inspectors will sting you for an extra 50%, and they patrol the islands every night). The unwritten rule is that you need a pass for every day that you’re in the national park after 4pm, so if you’re following our itinerary, a one day pass should suffice.  

From Zadar, we’re heading in a north-westerly direction. You’ll pass lots of other charter yachts heading other directions, but we’re heading off the beaten track to a small farming village on the island of Ist. The prevailing wind is landward from the sea, so it should be a simple reach or broad reach to sail there.

Ist is an island of vines and olive groves, as well as sandy beaches, and it’s a quiet and tranquil place to spend the night, even though there are ferry connections to other islands. There’s a couple of bars and a church, but essentially this is a place to get away from it all and to enjoy life on the ocean waves.  

There are beaches on the south side of Molat, or you could pop into the town itself – which, oddly enough, was visited by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in 1939. But then we’re heading in a south-westerly direction, reaching against the prevailing wind as we follow the channels between the islands and to the east side of Iz.

Veli Iz is a small fishing village which also happens to have its own Roman fort and 14th century church. Founded by fishermen way back when, the village also has a number of decent seafood restaurants, and is famous for its decorative pottery (for which there is even a museum). Sadly, though there were 70 pottery companies on the island in bygone years, there is now only one left.  

You certainly need to stock up because Zut is out in the wilderness. Situated in a sheltered bay which has been used by sailors for centuries, the tourist board built a pontoon and walkway in the bay in recent years to make it easier for sailors to get to shore, and to increase the number of jobs on the island by 1200% - from 1 to 12 people.

When you moor up you’ll find a couple of small shops and bars or eateries (don’t rely on them to be open, just in case, but they’re good if they are), and not much else. It’s a very peaceful bay to spend the night in, and a very unspoilt island to explore.  

There are beaches and bays to explore, and you’re allowed to walk on the islands if you dare to brave the heat. The view from the top of the hills is certainly quite special, but it can take a bit of effort to get there.

From Zut, we’re heading west (likely beating or close-hauled) to pass over the top of Kornati island - the biggest island in the national park – and following down it’s western coast in a south-easterly direction, probably in a broad reach against the prevailing summer wind. Enjoy weaving your way around the islands, finding beaches, bays and even bars on the largely unspoilt islands. You need to head slightly west to ensure that you hit the west coast of Piskera, but it is fairly straight-forward to find the well-sheltered marina and to moor up for the night.

Piskera is similar to Zut in that it is a marina which was built primarily to make the Kornati islands easier for sailors to explore, so you won’t find a town here – though you will find a restaurant, an over-priced shop (but heck, it’s in the middle of nowhere, so it can’t be easy to stock it up!) and modern toilet facilities. It should be another tranquil night, although the bar here can get quite lively if there are enough sailors in the marina.  

Starting in a south-easterly direction until we reach the southern tip of Kornati island, we then need to bear north-easterly to traverse across the channel to Murter. This should be a simple run with the prevailing wind, and you might be able to get away with a broad reach, but bonus marks are available if you manage to goose-wing your way back towards the mainland.

Murter is the largest town on the island of Murter (which isn’t really an island any more, since the arrival of a road connection to the mainland). Surrounded by brilliant beaches, it’s also popular with land-lubbing tourists, and there’s plenty of lively bars and restaurants along the waterfront, which will make a change of atmosphere from Piskera and Zut.

The best beaches are on the west coast, and you could anchor up here if you had time, or, if you fancy some exercise, you could walk to the top of the hill (where there is world war two military base) and enjoy watching the sun set over the Kornati islands.  

Working our way up the coast, we’ll sail past Biograd, which is one of the most popular charter bases in Europe, and the home to the biggest boat show in Croatia (check out our destination guide for Biograd if you want to find out more about it, but it’s not worth stopping there today as it will be busy with people returning their charter yachts).

Further up the channel is lovers island. This is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world. It was only really ‘discovered’ after the invention of Google Earth, but it’s now a romantic destination in it’s own right, and hundreds of people come and propose here each year. It’s a romantic place to go, and it’s traditional to loop around the island (or make a heart shape on your plotter if you’re skilled enough) if you’re going past it, and throwing a euro into the waters around here is supposed to sort out your love life.

Follow the coast further north and you’ll arrive back at Sukosan (the biggest marina in Croatia) or Zadar marina. You should refuel your yacht or catamaran before returning the boat to roughly the same space you took her from on day one. Someone will come and inspect the boat, but you’ll still be sleeping on her tonight.

If you’ve not had chance to visit the old town of Zadar, then now is a good time to go and see the 3,000 year old UNESCO world heritage site. Most bars near both marina’s will be lively with happy sailors recounting their adventures to anyone who will listen tonight, and it’s the last night of the holiday for so many people that it shouldn’t be difficult to find a lively atmosphere.

Hopefully you’ve been impressed by the sun, sea, sailing and general tranquillity of the Croatian islands, hopefully your crew all got on well together (and maybe there was a holiday romance?), and hopefully you’ve had a brilliant, enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Have a safe trip home, and, when you start to miss the sea and the sunshine, remember to visit PlainSailing.com to start planning your next epic adventure!

Sailing Conditions

The winds are particularly reliable throughout the sailing season, when local sailors claim that they can set their watch by them: there are Mistral winds during the day which peak between 9am and mid-day, then take a break for a couple of hours, before returning (“after lunch”) for another few hours at 3pm until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze, if anything at all.

The daytime winds are usually Force 4 or Force 5, and their prevailing direction is landward, which is driven by the sun – as the land warms up and the air above it rises during the day, air is sucked from the sea. A little further out from the coast, and away from the Mistral winds, then the winds shoots down the Adriatic channel into the heart of the Mediterranean.

We use three marinas in Zadar, each offering excellent and modern facilities, and great levels of care for our guests.

If you're staying in the area before or after your charter, we can recommend these places that are close to Marina Zadar and D-Marin Borik - Prestige design rooms or El mirador rooms - or these places next to Sukosan - Hotel Joso or White Residence .

Marina Zadar

Marina Zadar is based right in the centre of town, which means it’s quite an atmospheric place to spend the night, and there’s plenty of bars and restaurants. The marina also boasts its own casino!

The recently built Marina Dalmacija is just 7km to the south of the historic old town (in the suburb of Sukosan), and, with space for 1,200 boats, is the biggest marina in Croatia.

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

• Politically sensitive comments
• Promotional content
• Illegal activities
• Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
• Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
• Spam and fake content
• Animal cruelty
• Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
• Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht screamed 'I will kill you' and threw $100 bills into the water when told he couldn't use a private dock

• The owner of a Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee, per CBS8.
• The employee said Ajay Thakore mooned and threw cash at him after being told he couldn't use the dock.
• Thakore, the CEO of Doctor Multimedia, issued an apology through his public relations team.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee after being told he couldn't be there, the San Diego-based broadcaster CBS8 reported on March 11.

Joseph Holt, a 21-year-old employee at Marriot Marina in San Diego, told CBS8 that he spotted the yacht sailing into the private dock. The owner, whom CBS8 identified as Ajay Thakore, tried to pick another person up at the dock, Holt said.

"I told him respectfully that he couldn't be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat," Holt told CBS8.

In a YouTube video posted by @SM-wc9eq on March 10, a dark blue Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is seen sailing out of a dock. A man in a gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cap was shown standing on the yacht. The man appeared to be Thakore, per CBS8.

Thakore was shown shouting at Holt. "I will kill you, you know I will kill you!" he can be heard saying multiple times in the video

Thakore was later shown pounding his fist on his palm and pointing his thumb down before telling Holt: "To your face!" Holt was shown responding by pointing his middle finger at Thakore.

"I really was trying to restrain myself from getting fired from my job or stepping out of line. The only thing I did was give him the bird," Holt told CBS8.

Holt said Thakore then took $100 bills from his wallet and threw them at him. He added that Thakore mooned him. This exchange was not shown in the video.

"He was saying I'm nobody, I'm nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it," Holt said. Holt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The San Diego Harbor Police arrived at the marina 10 minutes after Thakore's yacht exited the dock, per CBS8.

The Harbor Police told Business Insider that Holt decided to press charges against Thakore and that they are investigating the incident.

According to Thakore's LinkedIn page , he's the CEO of Doctor Multimedia. The company's website shows that it's a healthcare marketing firm based in San Diego. Thakore appears to go by the name Ace Rogers on Instagram and TikTok, where he's noted as being a professional gambler.

Thakore, through his public relations team, told CBS8 in a statement that his altercation with Holt was "regrettable."

"What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange," the statement said. Thakore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Thakore isn't the only CEO who's been called out for threatening another person. In November 2021, an Activision spokesperson told BI that its ex-CEO Bobby Kotick had previously apologized for telling his assistant he would have her killed. The spokesperson added that Kotick's threat was "obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate" and that "he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone."

In June 2020, Lisa Alexander, the CEO of LaFace Skincare, a cosmetics company, apologized in a statement to the media after she had threatened to call the police on her neighbor for writing "Black Lives Matter" on his property. Alexander said in the apology that she was "disrespectful" and "should have minded my own business."
