Last updated: September 2026
From 186 feet, about 57 metres, a charter yacht moves into the top tier: five decks on some, crews of 12 or more, spas, chase boats and toy lists that fill a garage. We list 10 yachts of that size on this site, and 8 of them name Croatia as a cruising area. This page ranks all 8. The other two, AMARYLLIS and OKTO, do not list Croatia.
The countdown runs from #8, the shortest, up to #1, the longest, by listed length. Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each listing on 29 September 2026, and we label each rate with the season and year its listing gives. None of the eight lists a home port in Croatia.
What 57 Metres and Up Gets You
Guests. Seven of the eight list 12 guests on their spec sheets, whatever their size, because a vessel carrying more than twelve passengers counts as a passenger ship, as our guide to yacht charters for more than 12 guests explains. The extra length buys space, crew and toys rather than berths. The exception is VARIETY VOYAGER, a 68 metre ship for more than 70 guests.
Builders. Lürssen and Codecasa have two yachts each on the list; the others come from Benetti, Elsflether Werft, the Altunbas yard in Turkey and a custom build.
What they cost. Listed starting rates on the eight run from €220,000 per week (QUEEN MARE, autumn 2026) to €450,000 per week (CAPRI I); CORAL OCEAN’s Mediterranean rate notes start from €650,000 per week, and one, JOIA, is priced in US dollars.
8. QUEEN MARE
“An RYA Water Sports Centre with a 12 Metre Tender”

She is an approved RYA Water Sports Centre, and her toys include a water slide, a Zapata flyboard, jet skis and Seabobs, with a 12 metre Rock Marine guest tender.

1. CORAL OCEAN
“A 73 Metre Lürssen with a Full Spa”
CORAL OCEAN is a 239 foot (73 m) Lürssen built in 1994 and refitted in 2022, the biggest yacht on this page.

Her listing’s last published Mediterranean rates, from her summer 2025 notes, run from €650,000 per week to €790,000 per week at peak, plus VAT and a 30 percent APA, and we reconfirm them on inquiry.
From our onboard visit
She's fully equipped for diving too, and the onboard spa, complete with sauna, is one of the most complete you'll find. Toy days go all out, with the full water-toy fleet deployed.
What a Charter at This Size Costs
The rates above are charter fees only, except on VARIETY VOYAGER, whose fee includes half board. On top come the APA, an advance for fuel, food and marina fees that is settled against what is actually spent, and VAT. For charters in Croatia, VAT is a flat 13 percent on the charter fee, not on the APA, as our first crewed charter guide explains; SUNDAY and CAPRI I quote Greek VAT of 5.2 percent for Greek waters, so ask us for the figure for your route. The APA stated in the rate notes of CAPRI I, CORAL OCEAN and SUNDAY is 30 percent; the others show a guide figure, so ask us.
As a general illustration, a charter fee of €300,000 per week with 13 percent VAT comes to €339,000 per week, and a 35 percent APA adds an advance of €105,000 per week, settled against what is actually spent.
How to Choose Within the Class
For a group of more than 12, VARIETY VOYAGER is the only one here whose spec sheet lists more than 12; for 12 or fewer, compare what you want on board. CORAL OCEAN has a spa with a sauna and steam room and a swimming pool, QUEEN MARE is an RYA Water Sports Centre, and JOIA has an elevator and wheelchair access. None of the eight lists a home port in Croatia, so tell us your route early; most Croatian weeks start in the Split area or in Dubrovnik, and in summer the afternoon wind is usually the maestral, a northwesterly.
Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these eight is free. For the size below, see our 50 metre class guide.
