When 4 or 6 couples split a charter fee evenly, the cabins have to be even too. On most yachts they are not: there is an owner’s suite, a VIP, and then the cabins nobody wants, and somebody has to lose that conversation before the trip has started.
Croatia is the one fleet where the even layout is normal rather than rare. We read the bed table on all 245 crewed yachts on our Croatian list, and 8 of them hold up: every cabin the same bed, a private bathroom behind every door, and nothing a couple would fight over. Most of the fleet fails this on the first line.
Every entry was checked against the yacht’s own bed table, not the cabin count, because a listing that says 5 cabins often means 1 master and 4 smaller ones. Where a cabin is labeled master but carries the same bed as the rest, we say so. Where there is a genuine odd cabin, we say that too.
Ranked from 8 up to our number one, smallest to largest. The price on each card is that yacht’s low-season starting rate, and a July or August week on this list runs from 29,000 euros to 155,000, with each entry giving the peak number. Our catamaran hub covers the cost and route basics, and the large-group pages go further for 24 guests and up.
8. GREEN RAY
“12 Guests, 6 Doubles, Nothing Between Them”
GREEN RAY is the cheapest way to put 12 friends in equal cabins anywhere in Croatia. She is a 2019 Croatian-built motorsailer, and her bed table reads double bed with a private en suite six times over. One is called the primary suite; it carries the same bed as the other 5.
At 22,000 to 29,000 euros a week she works out at about 4,800 per couple in August, less per head than any other boat on this list. A crew of 4 cover all 3 meals.
The masts give real shade over the deck, which a flybridge catamaran cannot match in an August anchorage. The kit runs to a sea scooter, a towable tube, a ringo, a wakeboard, a kneeboard, water skis for adults and children, paddleboards, kayaks and fishing gear.
7. NIKA ONE
“Four Queens, One Rate, All Season”
NIKA ONE is the entry point among the catamarans, a 2025 Fountaine Pajot whose 4 cabins all carry a queen bed and a private bathroom. One is labeled the VIP master, and it is the same bed as the other 3, which is the honest version of equal.
She charges one rate for the whole season rather than a low, mid and high ladder, so a group splitting the fee knows the number in January and it is the same number in August. Charters start Mondays and Wednesdays out of Split, which puts the flights on the cheaper days.
A crew of 3 run her with a chef. The toys are the group list: a 2-person banana, a 2-person donut, 2 underwater scooters, a wakeboard, adult and junior water skis, a 2-person kayak, 2 paddleboards and 8 snorkel sets in different sizes.
6. TRIWING ENDOR
“Four Queens, All-Inclusive, Nobody Queuing for a Corner”
TRIWING ENDOR sleeps 8 in 4 en suite cabins all set up as queens, and her own page makes the point this page is about: with the XXXL aquatic area off the stern, the group is not queuing for a corner of the boat.
Her rate is all-inclusive rather than plus expenses, so the fee covers 4 crew, all 3 meals, fuel, the Croatian cruising permits and the toys. For a group splitting one invoice, that removes the argument about the APA at the end of the week. One number, divided by 4.
The kit is the best on this list: 2 Porsche SeaBobs, an e-foil, a donut, a wakeboard, a waveboard, water skis, a kayak, beach games and a Nohrd fitness bike. The stewardess is also a masseuse, and yoga classes are bookable aboard.
5. NAVILUX
“Nearly Every Cabin Equal, and a Bow Jacuzzi to Spread Out In”
NAVILUX is the top-tier version of this idea: a 122-foot luxury motorsailer where nearly every cabin is equal, so nobody squabbles over who gets the best room. Her bed table is honest about the exception: a master suite and 4 doubles, all with the same double bed and en suite, plus one twin.
A crew of 8 look after 12 guests, a ratio no catamaran on this list reaches. The bow jacuzzi is the detail we point groups to: it gives a big charter party somewhere to spread out away from the aft deck.
The toys are a superyacht spread: 2 Sea-Doo Spark Trixx, 2 SeaBob F5s, a tube, a donut, a banana, a ringo, 2 floating mats, a kayak, water skis and snorkel gear. There are signs of wear on the exterior deck, and discounts run outside the main season.
4. AURUM SKY
“Six King Cabins, Two of Them Convertible”
AURUM SKY runs 6 cabins and her bed table says king-size bed six times, each with a private en suite and its own air-conditioning control. The master and the VIP carry the same bed as the 4 guest cabins, and 2 of those convert to twins when the group is not 6 couples.
She is a 2020 Croatian-built 142-footer with a crew of 8 for 12 guests, and at 80,000 to 83,000 euros a week her season barely moves, which makes the split easy to agree in January.
Her toys are the big-boat set: 2 Yamaha WaveRunner EX-Sports with 3 seats each, 2 SeaBob F5S, a towable tube and doughnuts. The separate air-conditioning control per cabin sounds small until 12 people argue about the temperature.
3. MARALLURE
“Six Cabins for 12, and Our Favorite Boat at the Show”
MARALLURE is our number one because she is the total package for a group of 12: 6 cabins, a crew of 8, great condition, excellent food and genuinely amazing value for a 137-footer. She was our favorite yacht at the Croatia Yacht Show, and she gets better each season.
The sundeck is why groups book her: a huge, uncluttered space with a jacuzzi set toward the back, loungers, a bar and a grill, and plenty of shade. Evenings end with the crew’s sundeck barbecue nights, already the guests’ favorite part of the week.
New for the season: a water slide, more gym equipment with an optional morning trainer, an e-foil, and a private dock at the Monaco Grand Prix. She also carries 2 Seadoo jet skis, 2 SeaBobs, 2 sea scooters, donuts, a paddleboard, water skis and a wakeboard.
2. PREMIER
“Eleven Identical Cabins, 22 Friends, One Invoice”
PREMIER is the largest even layout in Croatia and the answer when the group is 22 rather than 8. Her bed table runs 11 cabins deep and every line is the same: a double bed and a private en suite. Cabin 1 and cabin 11 are the same room.
She is a 2021 Croatian-built 180-footer out of Split, and at 87,000 to 99,000 euros a week she works out lower per couple than most of the 8-guest catamarans on this list. That is the arithmetic groups of 11 couples come to us with.
The toys match the scale: a water slide, 2 e-foils, a stand-up jet ski, a Manta Jet Surf, 2 SeaBobs, a ringo, water skis and a wakeboard, with a jacuzzi on deck. Her July and August weeks go first, so the groups who plan a year out get her.
1. AD ASTRA
“Six Cabins, Six Identical Kings, 200 by 200”
AD ASTRA is our number one because her bed table is the cleanest in the fleet: 6 cabins, 6 king beds at 200 by 200 centimeters, a private en suite behind each door. The master is called the master and carries the same bed as the other 5. Two of the 6 convert to twins.
She is a brand-new 2026 custom 172-footer with a crew of 10 for 12 guests, which is where this list ends up when nobody will accept the smaller room. Marble finishes in the master bathroom, a jacuzzi and a sauna aboard.
The toy list is the longest here: an e-foil, 2 SeaBob F7s and 2 F5s, 6 jet skis, a doughnut, 6 paddleboards, a wakeboard and adult and junior water skis. She runs 115,000 to 155,000 euros a week. For 6 couples that is the top of the market with no cabin argument.
