What yacht charter are you looking for?

Croatia Yacht Charter

Croatia yacht charters have skyrocketed in popularity, becoming a top choice for Mediterranean yacht vacations. With a fast-growing fleet of luxury yachts, including motor yachts, superyachts, and catamarans, Croatia is no longer just for bareboat sailors – It’s now a premier destination for fully crewed charters.

What makes Croatia so good? With more than 1,000 islands close together, you can see more in less time. This is a great option compared to Greece’s Cyclades, which depend a lot on the weather. The coastline is packed with UNESCO-listed towns like Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, and Korčula, and the stunning Kornati Islands.

Croatia also has friendlier yacht charter legislation. If you are looking for a yacht for more than 12 guests, this is the best place to go. It simply offers options that you can’t find anywhere else.

Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll send a handpicked selection of Croatian yachts—plus reviews and walk-through videos to help you choose with confidence.

Types of Crewed Yacht Charters in Croatia

Croatia’s crewed charter fleet is one of the most versatile in the Med. Catamaran charters in Croatia are perfect for groups of up to 10, offering space, stability, and value. For speed and privacy, a motor yacht charter in Croatia lets you cover more ground in a week, with full crew and high-end service.

Croatia Gulet charters are the more traditional, lower-budget option—great for family cruising. Motorsailers take the same concept and elevate it, with newer builds and luxury interiors – arguably the best value for money in Croatia.

At the top end, the Croatia luxury charter scene is expanding fast, with more 50m+ options entering the fleet each year. And if you’re planning a charter for more than 12 guests, Croatia is the best destination.

Top Yacht Charter Locations in Croatia

We don’t pull highlights from travel blogs—we get them from captains, crew, and personal experience on the water. These are places where a yacht charter makes a true difference: stunning anchorages in national parks, historic ports best approached by sea, and remote islands that are inaccessible without a boat.

Best Croatia Yacht Itineraries

These are not crowd-sourced or copy-paste routes. We build them with input from charter captains, local crews, and firsthand experience from familiarization trips. We choose every stop for a reason, not just because it’s popular, but because it offers something worth seeing.

Plan Your Croatia Yacht Charter with Real Experts

From choosing the right yacht and route to designing the full experience around your group — this is what we do every day. Tell us what kind of trip you’re after, and we’ll make it happen.

Croatia Yacht Charter Regions

Croatia splits into four main cruising regions – each doable on a one-week charter. Catamarans work best in Central Dalmatia, while motor yachts are ideal for longer routes up north. Here’s how we recommend choosing your base.

Croatia,

Southern Dalmatia

Mainly for Dubrovnik – a must-see by sea. Best done one-way from Split with a fast catamaran, motor yacht, or longer itinerary. Expect walled towns, wine regions, and cinematic anchorages.

Hvar Marina, Croatia, One of the number 1 destinations for a Croatia Yacht Charter

Central Dalmatia

Split is the main base for charters in Croatia. Easy island hops to Hvar, Brač, and Vis make this catamaran territory. It’s social, scenic, and packed with variety — the sweet spot for first-timers.

Northern Dalmatia

Best for motor yachts or extended trips. Distances are longer, but the reward is raw nature — Kornati Islands, Krka Falls, and empty anchorages you won’t find further south.

Istria (North)

Farther off the charter trail, but worth it for calm seas, Venetian town, Roman ruins, and slow cruising. Sail from Pula or Rijeka or explore on the way to Venice.

How Much Does a Croatia Yacht Charter Cost?

A Croatia yacht charter has a base price for the yacht and crew. There are extra costs (APA) for food, fuel, and other expenses.

Here’s a breakdown of the fees:

  • Base Charter Rate
    Starts around €15,000 per week for a smaller catamaran or gulet
    Luxury motor yachts and superyachts can range from €40,000 to over €250,000/week
  • APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)
    Typically 25–40% of the base fee (lower for catamarans, higher for motor yachts)
    Covers food, drinks, fuel, marina fees, and other onboard expenses
  • VAT (Croatia Tax)
    13% of the base fee
    Applied to all charters operating in Croatian waters
  • Gratuities
    Standard range is 10–20%, based on quality of service
    Paid at the end of the charter, directly to the crew

Our advice: Budget at least €30,000+ for a fully crewed charter with a solid yacht and professional crew.

DMA yachting arranged an amazing experience for us on the ELIZABETH. The yacht was beautiful and comfortable and the crew, captain Mate, chef Mico, and stewardess Nina were friendly, helpful, and professional. They gave us great suggestions for tours and restaurants and arranged drivers and guides for us.
We had a wonderful time!

If you are looking for an exceptional yachting experience, look no further than DMA Yachting. We were three couples on SWEET DREAMS, a catamaran, sailing from Split to Dubrovnik.

[…] This was everyone’s first trip to Croatia. It is beautiful, clean and welcoming. To experience the historic landscape of this ancient country by yacht is truly the best way to understand its history and DMA Yachting delivered to us the trip of a lifetime.

We just completed the best trip of our lives….7 days on a private yacht with 20 people on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. Daniel Asmus (of DMA Yachting) was incredibly helpful from the beginning of our planning. […] Once the yacht was selected and booked, Daniel continued to be responsive to questions over the months leading up to our trip, even following up many times during our trip to make sure all was well. We would highly recommend Daniel/DMA Yachting to anyone looking to book a similar trip!
