Yacht Chartering in Croatia

Yacht Chartering in Croatia

Croatia has become one of Europe’s most in-demand yachting destinations, and for good reason. Picture-perfect islands, crystal-clear waters, historic seaside towns, and a relaxed Mediterranean pace make it the ultimate setting for a summer charter.

Whether you’re exploring ancient ports or dropping anchor off quiet bays, Croatia offers the freedom and beauty that yacht charters are all about.

‍

Where to start: Split or Dubrovnik

Most Croatian yacht charters start from either Split or Dubrovnik. Both are vibrant, culture-rich cities with beautiful old towns, great restaurants, and excellent marinas, but the cruising grounds between them are where things get really special.

Depending on your starting point and length of charter, your itinerary can run north, south, or island-hop across the Dalmatian coast.

Must-visit islands

• Hvar: The party island with a glamorous edge. Think beach clubs, old-town charm, and sunsets with a bottle of something cold.
  
  
• Vis: More laid-back and lesser known. Ideal for a peaceful anchorage, authentic food, and exploring caves and coves.
  
  
• Korčula: Sometimes called “Little Dubrovnik,” it’s a blend of culture, history, and fantastic local wine.
  
  
• Brač: Home to Zlatni Rat beach and a great spot for water sports and hiking.
  
  
• Šolta: Understated, quiet, and perfect if you want to escape the summer crowds.
  
  

Each island brings something different, and one of the best parts of a Croatian yacht charter is the ease of moving between them — never too far, always scenic.

What to expect onboard

Croatia is perfect for both crewed motor yachts with plenty of anchorages, island marinas, and sheltered bays. You’ll spend your days swimming in turquoise water, exploring fishing villages, playing with water toys and pulling up at seafront restaurants where the catch of the day is often caught that morning. You can also plan to dine on board with the most delicious food prepared by your private chef, with sunset views over the most picturesque backdrop.
