What is a Croatia Crewed Catamaran Charter?

Where to Go on Your Croatia Catamaran Charter?

We recommend one of these three Croatia yacht charter itineraries, each exploring a different region of Croatia. These routes are made for 1-week catamaran charters minimum.

Split to Split is perfect for catamarans, with top spots like Hvar, Vis, and the Pakleni Islands all within short, easy cruising distances. This route is also less weather-dependent.

Split to Dubrovnik might be the ideal itinerary as it includes the amazing Dubrovnik. But it is also a longer trip which should be considered when choosing a catamaran. How much time are you prepared to spend on the water?

Šibenik to Kornati, perfect for nature lovers with stops at Kornati Islands and Krka Waterfalls. We especially recommend this for return charterers who have already done the Split route.

Pula to Rab, exploring the northern coast with historic towns like Pula and the beaches of Rab. (Be aware that the distances between spots are greater on this itinerary.)

Why Choose a Croatia Catamaran Charter?

Ultimate Comfort: A Catamaran Charter offers the perfect balance between space, comfort, and the thrill of sailing. With its double-hull design, a catamaran charter is more stable than a monohull, making it a safer option for first-timers, kids, and elders on a luxury boat trip.

More Space: The Catamaran layout grants more spacious interiors and exteriors great for families and larger groups. Compare a catamaran to a motor yacht that’s 15-20% longer.

Shallow Draft: Shallow drafts are best for navigating shallow waters and anchoring closer to the beaches.

Affordability: New Catamarans are built with luxury amenities that match motor yachts but are much more affordable. Plus, Catamarans have a much smaller fuel consumption than motor yachts, significantly reducing the overall charter price.

Great Selection: Croatia has one of the largest fleets of catamarans and power catamarans in the Mediterranean, so there is plenty to choose from!

Sailing or Power Catamarans?

Choosing between a sailing catamaran and a power catamaran comes down to whether you prefer sailing or want more speed and space.

The truth is, you’ll likely motor most of the time on any catamaran. Perfect sailing weather is rarely timed perfectly with your charter, and turning on the motor is often more practical to stay on schedule.

Power catamarans are becoming more popular as they offer the best of both worlds—speed, and luxury like a motor yacht, with the stability and space of a catamaran, at a more affordable price.

The price for a crewed catamaran charter in Croatia is between €15,000-€100,000. 

$15-30k/Week

In this range, you’ll get a high-quality catamaran like a Lagoon or Leopard (50-59 feet) with 4-5 cabins, perfect for 8 guests. You’ll have two crew members: a Captain and a Chef/Hostess. Most meals are included, along with local Croatian wines and spirits. The price also covers fuel for daily cruising and free use of water toys like paddleboards and snorkeling gear.

$30-60k/Week

At $30-50k per week, you’ll enjoy a more spacious catamaran like a Lagoon 55, Bali, or Fontaine Pajot (55-65 feet) with 4-5 cabins and 2-4 crew. These charters often include dive equipment and guided dives, fine dining with premium Croatian wines, and an expanded range of water toys, such as seabobs and efoils.

$50-100k/Week

In the $50-100k range, you’ll experience unparalleled luxury. For $50k, you can charter a new Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 or similar, with 4 cabins for 8 guests, 3 crew, gourmet meals, wellness options, and a range of water toys. By $100k, you’re chartering the best Croatia has to offer, like a Lagoon 78 with 5 cabins for up to 12 guests, 4 crew, fine dining, SCUBA gear, jacuzzis, and perhaps even a jet ski.
