What yacht charter are you looking for?

Croatia Yacht Charter

UNESCO World Heritage Sites  |  National Parks  |  1200 Islands |  5-Star Luxury Marinas  |  12+ Guests Capacity Yachts

Crewed Yachts

A Croatia crewed yacht charter includes, at a minimum, a captain and at least 1 stewardess. On a larger motor yacht, the number of crew can be higher than the number of guests (including deckhands, engineers, additional stewardesses, and specialized staff such as masseuses, fitness instructors, and so on)

Motor Yachts

If you want ultimate luxury and speed, we recommend chartering a Crewed Motor Yacht. Croatia has, in recent years, exploded as a luxury yacht charter destination, rising to number 1 in Europe!

Motorsailers

Croatia is unique for having a big fleet of luxury motorsailers typically owned by the captain himself. This is a great choice for those who want the luxury of a motor yacht with the thrill of a big rig and less spend on fuel!

Charter Catamaran Sasta Croatia

Catamarans

A crewed catamaran has many advantages: Great stability, shallow draft, more space, fuel efficiency, and great value for money! They usually have 4-5 cabins for 8-10 guests and are perfect for groups and families.

Gulets

A Gulet Charter is the most authentic way to cruise Croatia. With a higher cabin count, it is ideal for large groups. It combines luxury with traditional charm and is an affordable way to enjoy a private charter. 

Top Picks for 2024/2025

Our brokers participate in several crewed yacht shows each year, like the recent CROYA 2024 in Split, to inspect yachts and meet the crew; these are our favorites in 2024.

Testimonials

Our second time chartering a yacht through DMA Yachting and again 5 star service all around! Thank you to Chris who is very easy to deal with and our fabulous crew who helped us make the best memories.❜

DEBORAH DORRIAN

It was one of the best vacations of our life. The yacht was perfect, and Captain Thanos, Marianne, and George were exceptional. Nadia Asmus was very helpful with coordinating our arrangements.

SRINIVAS MURALI

Daniel’s communication was outstanding throughout the entire process of our charter – from start to finish. From the initial inquiry to the final days on board, he kept us informed every step of the way.❜

HILLARY LEE

I don’t even know how to start this review! Our experience with the Madinina was above 5 stars….but that was because of ALEX from DMA Yachting.❜

WHATS NEW?

Croatia has undergone a remarkable transformation into a luxury yacht charter destination over the last decade, and it does not seem to be slowing down!

With a growing infrastructure accommodating larger yachts (the above 150-foot fleet is increasing rapidly), competitive pricing, and a plethora of stunning islands in close proximity, it offers a compelling alternative to destinations like Greece.

A major plus for Croatia yacht charter is its favorable legislation, which allows for larger groups on charters (more than 12 guests), a rarity within the EU!!

SEARCH BY PRICE

*The price of Croatian charter yachts depends on several factors. There are the obvious ones, such as yacht charter type, size, crew size, and level of luxury. Then there are the less obvious ones, such as tax, APA, fuel (which varies a lot depending on the itinerary and engine fuel consumption), and crew gratuity.

OUR FAVORITE SPOTS

There are three regions along the Croatian Coast: north, central, and south. It is realistic to charter in one of these regions during a 1-week charter without the distances becoming too far.

That is why we have written the Top 3 Croatia Yacht Charter Ultimate Guide. In this, we map out the best itinerary for each region, including MUST-VISIT destinations like Hvar, Dubrovnik, Pula, Rab, and the Mljet and Kornati National Park.

The southern dalmatian coast itinerary is by far the most popular as it includes the most hyped destinations like Split, Hvar, and old town Dubrovnik.

View over Hvar Harbour and its luxury motor yachts docked and sailing yachts in anchor.

Hvar

Hvar – the island everyone wants to visit—so yes, you’ll encounter some crowds, but it’s all part of the vibe. Start with a hike up to the impressive Fortica fortress towering above the town, where you can take in panoramic views before enjoying a coffee in Dalmatia’s largest square.

If you’re up for more adventure, don’t stop there. Keep climbing to the second fort, Napoleon Fortress, tucked way up the hill. Not many tourists make it up here, but the views are even more spectacular, and it’s home to a quiet observatory. With the right captain, you can even arrange a private stargazing session under the pristine night sky.

The Amphitheater in Pula seen from above looking down into it.

Pula

The Northern Croatian Yacht Charter Itinerary begins and ends in Pula, where most yachts in the region are based at the Pula ACI Marina.

Pula is a city rich in history, known for its remarkably well-preserved Roman amphitheater, the Pula Arena, which dates back to the 1st century and is still in use today. In the summer, the amphitheater transforms into a vibrant concert venue, hosting major international artists like Dua Lipa and Lenny Kravitz earlier this year.

Beyond its Roman history, Pula also offers lively streets, great restaurants, and a laid-back coastal vibe, making it the perfect starting point for your northern Croatian yacht adventure.

View of Dubrovnik harbour and Marina full of yachts, Croatia

Dubrovnik

UNESCO World Heritage Site Dubrovnik, known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” this stunning city is packed with history, culture and jaw-dropping views. As soon as you sail in, the sight of its massive stone walls rising from the sea feels like stepping into a different era. –You know it from Game of Thrones. You have arrived at King’s Landing!

A walk along those city walls is a must—it’s the best way to get panoramic views of the old town, the shimmering Adriatic, and the nearby islands. Inside the walls, the city is all about winding marble streets, centuries-old churches, and lively squares filled with cafés. Be sure to check out the Rector’s Palace, the Franciscan Monastery, and Stradun, the main street where you can soak up the city’s energy.

Miljet National Park, Croatia

Mljet National Park

Mljet National Park is definitely one of the favorite stops for yacht charters. The main draw here is the island’s two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero, which are ideal for swimming, kayaking, or just enjoying the calm, vodka-clear water. There’s even a small island in the middle of Veliko Jezero with a 12th-century Benedictine monastery that’s worth visiting, adding a bit of history to your day out on the water.

Sailing into Mljet, most people anchor near Polače or Pomena, both of which are within the park and offer protected spots for yachts. The island itself is great for biking or hiking if you’re in the mood for some land-based exploring. The trails through the pine forests are peaceful, and you’ll often stumble upon viewpoints that give you incredible panoramas of the coastline.

Aerial of Kornati National Park, Croatia

Kornati Islands

Sailing into the Kornati National Park feels like entering another world. The Kornati Islands are rugged, barren, and incredibly beautiful, dotted with secluded coves. –It has been compared to Indonesia’s Komodo Islands!

On your way there, make a stop at the island of Zakan for lunch at Restaurant Zakan, a casual place right by the water that serves fresh seafood with unbeatable views.

Afterward, head to Levrnaka Island, where you can anchor for a swim in the gin-clear waters of Lojena Bay. This spot is one of the few sandy beaches in the Kornati, and actually, one of the few in Croatia where most beaches are pebbles.

This was a trip of a lifetime! We booked with Nadja at DMA yachting and she made sure the entire process was easy and no problems. Our charter was with Zuri3 and our Captain Andre and First Mate Jana made our trip amazing! They made sure everything was taken care and treated us like royalty. This is not just a vacation this is an experience of a lifetime.

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!
