Croatia Catamaran Charter

We recommend Croatia catamaran charters for guests who want smooth sailing, stability, and the best value for money. The Dalmatian Coast offers almost “Caribbean” quality island hopping. Its short distances and protected waters make it perfect for catamarans, especially for families and first-time charterers.

Most crewed catamarans in Croatia have 3–5 cabins for 6–12 guests and come with a Captain and Chef at a minimum. Meals are tailored to your preferences, with fresh seafood, local produce, olive oil, and Croatian wines.

Expect days of relaxed island-hopping, swimming in hidden bays, exploring UNESCO-listed towns, and trying out new water toys like Seabobs, jet skis, and efoils.

Why Charter a Catamaran in Croatia?

• More Comfort: Twin-hull stability means less rocking at sea and more usable space.
• More Space: A 55-foot catamaran often feels more spacious than a 70-foot motor yacht.
• Lower Fuel Costs: You can sail when there’s wind or cruise economically on engines.
• Easy Access: Catamarans’ shallow draft allows anchoring right off beaches or in hidden bays.
• Great Value: Split bills, fewer crew, and less fuel keep APA costs down.
• Europe’s Largest Catamaran Fleet: More choice, more flexibility, and better last-minute options.

Best Itineraries for a Catamaran Charter in Croatia

Croatia is ideal for 7-day catamaran itineraries. Our top itineraries are based on realistic distances for a catamaran and focus on short daily hops, good mooring options, and scenic highlights.

• Split to Split: Our top recommendation. This loop hits Hvar, Vis, Brač, and the Pakleni Islands. Distances are short, and you’re protected from the open sea—ideal for catamarans and families.
• Split to Dubrovnik: Possible on a catamaran, but make sure you understand the longer travel time. Expect 4+ hours of cruising on some days. You do get Mljet National Park and Dubrovnik’s walled city, so it’s a solid option for those who don’t mind some longer days at sea.
• Šibenik to Kornati: Less crowded and perfect for return charterers. Sail through the Kornati National Park—an untouched archipelago only accessible by boat. Great for nature and quiet anchorages.

Sailing vs 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.
