Types of yachts available for a charter in Croatia
There are two main categories to sort the yachts, crew and the number of hulls. Crew can include crewed yachts or captain only yachts.
Crewed yachts
Crewed yachts have a skipper and at the minimum, a chef. For larger yachts, the crew size can go up to well over 10 people, depending on the yacht size.
Captain Only
Captain only yachts are more budget friendly, as they only have a skipper. Note that the skipper needs a cabin, so you are usually looking at the cabins you need + 1 cabin for the captain.
Sailing yachts
Sailing yachts are a great choice for Croatia, as the distances allow for smooth sailing. With steady breeze and virtually an unlimited number of destinations, sailing in Croatia is a great choice. Sailing yachts are usually monohulls with various lengths.
Catamarans
Catamarans are a family friendly boat with two hulls and a large size of deck. Most of the catamarans (all except power catamarans) do have sails, so you can still cruise into the sunset. The most fun part about catamarans is the fact that there is much more room, so dinners or afternoon cocktails are definitely different. At the same time, getting in and out of a catamaran is generally easier, which makes the catamarans a clear choice for larger groups and families.
Power Catamarans
Power catamarans are two hulled yachts without sails. Since the power cats usually have powerful engines, they are all about speed and convenience.
