Croatia is fast emerging as one of the most exciting superyacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean. Each year we see bigger, more advanced yachts arriving, with design, service, and overall standards climbing noticeably. We have been aboard, or booked clients on, most of the yachts on this list. The newest arrivals we write about from their full specifications. Every one spends the summer in Croatia.
Here’s our inside look at the standout yachts shaping the Croatia superyacht charter scene in 2027.
Broker insight
When we look at superyachts in this price class we are not judging whether they are beautiful. Almost all of them are. We are looking for the standout amenities, the features you will not find on the boat moored next to her, and crews who have been together for years rather than assembled in May. That extra polish is what put these seven on the list.

7. DAWO
DAWO is the brightest Benetti on this list. She came out of the yard in 2025 channeling 1960s Benetti style in a crisp blue and white palette, with pale woods and white upholstery instead of the dark joinery most yachts her size still carry. We went aboard twice, and she felt fresh both times.
She is built for families. There is a Pullman-equipped kids’ cabin, and the water toys come in pairs, so nobody waits for a turn. The bow jacuzzi runs 1.7 meters deep, and the captain can position the yacht from the bridge so it sits in the best spot of the bay.
The sundeck is made for long afternoons, with a big round table on a lazy Susan, a bar and a grill. She cruises Croatia, Italy and Greece, and we have already placed a group on her for 2026.
6. MIRAGE IV
MIRAGE IV is the quick one in the 12-guest class. She cruises at 18 knots, which is fast for a 131-foot Princess, so a week can take in the outer islands without long days underway.
She was built in 2017, refitted in 2024 and is based in Split. The master suite sits on the main deck with a full bathtub, and below are three VIP doubles and two twins, so six cabins for 12 guests with no weak room for the last couple to book. Stabilizers at anchor keep lunch on the table.
The water is where she earns her place. The beach club has a sea pool, and the toy list includes a water slide, an inflatable climbing wall, two Seabobs, an e-foil and a Sea-Doo jet ski. Starlink keeps everyone connected between islands.
5. RENATA
RENATA won us over in the first thirty seconds aboard. The interior is spotless and high end, built around a marble bar and a backlit dining table that changes mood at a tap.
What we keep coming back to is the master suite, which opens onto a private bow terrace with its own jacuzzi and a coffee corner. At 134 feet that is rare, and it is why we recommend her to a couple who want their own space away from the group.
Up top we found a full spa jacuzzi, a bar and a barbecue with open sea views, and the beach club goes further again with a sauna, a yoga studio and a pop-up cinema. From EUR179,000 a week.

4. NELA
NELA has the best trick we have seen on a yacht her size. The main saloon furniture moves to turn the room into a full cinema, so the same space handles dinner and a film without anyone dragging chairs around.
She is a 137-foot Benetti from 2014, and she goes through a refit every year. It shows. The master suite is generously scaled and bright, and the beach club is a proper wellness space with a covered gym, a steam bath and a shower.
She takes 10 guests, and she knows how to host: during the Monaco Grand Prix she welcomes well over 100 guests dockside. In summer she cruises Croatia, Italy and Greece.
3. BELLO
BELLO is brand new for 2026 and spends both her seasons on the Croatian coast. At 177 feet she is one of the largest yachts on this list, yet she still takes only 12 guests in six cabins, so the space per person is generous.
Her layout solves the classic group problem. There are two master cabins, both large, which suits two couples or two families sharing the week, and the four doubles are full-size cabins with their own bathrooms, not afterthoughts.
Wellness is taken seriously, with a spa, a sauna, a gym and a beauty room. The beach club has its own pool, there is a jacuzzi on deck, and a glass elevator and spiral staircase connect the decks. For the water she carries two jet skis, two Seabobs, two e-foils, paddleboards and a waterslide. Few yachts this size in Croatia are this new.
2. EMERALD
EMERALD is the toy box of the Croatian fleet. Her water sports list is one of the longest on any yacht based in Split: three Seabob F9s, three e-foils, an e-surfboard, two 220 hp jet skis, water bikes, a water slide, an Aqua Catapult and an inflatable pickleball court.
She is a 164-foot motor yacht that sleeps 14 guests in seven cabins, two more than most yachts on this list, which helps a bigger family or two groups of friends. Stabilizers work at anchor and underway, and there is a jacuzzi and a gym on board.
The land side is covered too. She carries eight e-bikes and six gravel bikes, so a morning ride on Brač or Hvar is easy to arrange, and an 11.5-meter chase boat handles the runs to beach clubs and restaurants. She spends the whole summer in Croatia.
1. ORIY
ORIY is brand new for 2026 and based in Split for the summer. She is 164 feet long and takes 12 guests in six en-suite cabins, and the VIP has a sofa bed that sleeps one or two children beside their parents.
The beach club is her centerpiece. A wave pool and jacuzzi of about four by two meters sits right at sea level, so guests move between a soak and a swim without climbing stairs. On the sundeck there is a second jacuzzi, a barbecue and a drop-down screen for movie nights.
She is set up for active weeks. The toy list covers two jet skis, three Seabobs, an e-foil, a slide, a floating playground and water skis for adults and kids, and the gym has a reformer Pilates machine. In winter she moves to the Caribbean, so summer is the only window to charter her in Croatia.
