Croatia has long been known as an alluring yacht charter destination in Europe, boasting shimmering turquoise seas, unspoiled beaches, and an epic history that makes this an irresistibly inviting yacht charter location. Over one thousand islands make up the Adriatic, providing miles of unspoiled coastline that can be explored aboard sailboat, catamaran or motor yacht charters.
Croatia offers stunning sandy beaches, national parks, and Mediterranean cuisine that make for the ideal yacht charter vacation. Explore historic Dubrovnik or find quiet anchorages strewn with olive groves – there’s something here for everyone.
If you are an experienced sailor or looking to enhance your skills through an RYA sailing course or day skipper lesson before embarking on your charter in Croatia, we recommend hiring a fully qualified and commercially endorsed skipper as their local knowledge will prove invaluable in selecting yachts best suited to specific conditions in each destination, while they will also be able to suggest restaurants, shops and must-see attractions that should not be missed along the way.
Professional skippers provide peace of mind to both you and your guests in case of emergency, especially in times of stormy conditions. A skilled skipper has the knowledge and experience to respond swiftly and calmly, keeping everyone on board safe at all times. In addition, they may teach new sailing techniques or help rediscover confidence at the helm as needed; providing extra hands around the boat as required.
Finding the ideal yacht charter experience in Croatia depends on many factors, including group size and pace of travel as well as weather and itinerary considerations. Our Charter Experts can create a tailored proposal, suggesting specific yacht type/size combinations tailored specifically for your vacation experience.
Our fleet of luxury yachts provides an abundance of choices for your charter holiday, ranging from sleek bareboat sailboats and crewed catamaran charters, to modern motor yachts capable of accommodating 16 guests. Each vessel boasts elegant interiors and lavish extras such as spacious sunbathing areas, custom-designed staterooms, spa services and much more – so choose wisely!
Croatia offers ideal conditions for yacht charter from July through the middle of September, when temperatures are warm and sunny with gentle mistral winds. However, northern Adriatic can experience strong bora winds during early spring and late autumn periods.
Croatia boasts an expansive network of yachting facilities, from marinas to mooring buoys that provide privacy and seclusion. While marinas tend to increase your total charter costs, they provide essential services such as fresh water, shore power, showers and toilets, plus often restaurants and bars as well. A mooring buoy may be more cost effective while providing greater accessibility – for the best charter experience combine both options for optimal results!
