Catamarans
Croatia Catamaran Charter – Largest Selection of Catamarans
A Catamaran Charter in Croatia reaches almost “Caribbean” quality as far as island hopping goes. The Croatian Coast has many smaller islands in close proximity to each other, which is exactly why many clients prefer Croatia to Greece, where the distances are much more dramatic.
A typical one-week crewed catamaran charter in Croatia includes visits to popular destinations like Hvar, Trogir, Brač, and Korčula and the more secluded destinations like Mljet and Kornati National Park.
The catamaran fleet keeps growing in Croatia, with more people moving away from catamaran rental and looking for the elevated experience of crewed catamarans—a compelling alternative to staying ashore in overcrowded, overpriced towns fully booked months in advance.
Why Charter a Catamaran in Croatia?
With two connected hulls, a catamaran charter is more stable and spacious compared to any monohull. They are relatively low and have a swimming ladder, which makes it very easy to access the water and launch water toys.
Considering their wide and spacious interiors and exteriors, there is plenty of deck space and lots of natural light (no chance of feeling squeezed in or claustrophobic). Therefore, a catamaran yacht charter is an ideal choice for families and larger groups for a luxury boat trip, and Croatia has one of the largest fleets of catamarans and power cats in the Mediterranean. Compared to the monohulls, they are also safer for small children and beginner sailors with little experience sailing boats.

Catamarans vs Sailing Yachts & Motor Yachts
During these times of rising fuel costs, a distinct advantage of catamaran cruises (and even power cats) is their ability to cruise under sail at considerable speed, much faster than a monohull sailing boat.
This results in far smaller fuel costs, not to mention the opportunity to completely shut the engine off and enjoy a smooth sail with only the whoosh of the wind and the waves parting as a soundtrack.
Catamarans also have a unique feature, called the trampoline, which is a squared net at the bow that reduces the risk of capsizing and increases handling and performance.
It allows for water to quickly pass through and it reduces the weight forward of the mast. Trampolines can also be used as a place to sit and relax and in our experience, kids absolutely love them!
What Does a Catamaran Charter in Croatia Cost?
The price range for a charter catamaran in Croatia is wide, starting at around €10,000 per week and reaching over €450,000 for a high-end luxury charter catamaran (such as ‘THIS IS IT’, a 2024-built 143-foot Tecnomar) with a large crew and all the facilities of a superyacht.
Note that these charters are nothing compared to a simple catamaran rental, where you have to do and know everything yourself. A crewed catamaran charter in Croatia is a next-level vacation stay with a captain, chef, cleaner, and knowledgeable guide, all included! It’s a dream vacation!
But let’s take a look at two catamarans of a more commo price:
Catamaran Mala
€13,900 per week + Expenses
If you are looking for a low-range catamaran yacht charter, Mala is a popular one that starts from just €13,900/week and can accommodate up to 6 guests.
“Our one-week sail with Sanja and Zoki was spectacular and far exceeded our expectations. The boat was comfortable, Sanja’s cooking was superb, and their hospitality was exceptional. As the boat owners, they kept the boat in tip-top condition and tried and managed to please us in every way. Not only do I recommend Cat Mala, but I look forward to rebooking soon! It was the trip of a lifetime Croatia’s coast is magnificent!”
Catamaran 7X
€72,9500 per week + Expenses
7X-SUNREEF 80 is one of the most popular luxury catamaran charters. It comes with state-of-the-art built and high-end amenities. Here is what the guests of 7X had to say:
“A fantastic week onboard on one of the best catamaran charters out there, 7X. The captain and the crew were attentive and looked after us very well. They are all Croats and know their beautiful country inside out.”
When is the Best Time to Charter a Catamaran in Croatia?
July and August are the high seasons, with heat and hubbub all around the Croatian coast. If this does not appeal, keep in mind that you can opt for pre-season or postseason to rent catamaran, as the climate in the area is warm enough, with mild winters too, to consider a wider time window during which to find the perfect yacht for your Croatia charter.
The months of May-June and September-October are quieter and less crowded as far as anchorages and routes are concerned for any yacht rentals, also the charter rates are considerably cheaper than the high season, especially for popular destinations such as Dubrovnik. It is advised to book well in advance to rent a yacht charter, some of the most popular dates and luxury yachts are booked two summers ahead.
Where to Go on a Croatia Catamaran Charter?
A typical Croatia catamaran yacht charter will start at Split International Airport. Cosmopolitan, colorful Split has a rich history and culture, boasting of over 20 museums and galleries. Most of the marinas lay on the West from the city of Split, a very short distance from the airport. Marina Baotić, Marina Agana and ACI Marina Trogir are charter specialized marinas.
The Kornati Archipelago (home of the Kornati National Park and other mountain ranges), off the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea, is one of the densest island clusters in the Mediterranean, consisting of over 150 islands, most of them very small and very close to one another. Note that to visit the Kornati National Park, every visitor needs to obtain a ticket in advance for the particular time and duration of the visit. Tickets can be purchased online and at mobile reception desks at key points of the park, and their price can range from 20 euros to several thousand, depending on the size of the sailing yachts.
Mainland Croatia also has a lot to offer, among which the medieval city of Dubrovnik, Trogir, a Unesco World Heritage site, which, for reasons that will become obvious at first sight, is also called the Little Venice of Dalmatia.
OUR FAVORITE SPOTS
Here are some of the MUST-VISIT destinations for a Croatian Yacht Charter, including Hvar, Dubrovnik, Split, and the Mljet National Park. Each of these destinations offers unique experiences, from the lively nightlife of Hvar to the rich history of UNESCO World Heritage Site Dubrovnik’s Old Town.

Kornati National Park
The Kornati archipelago is a must-visit destination for Croatia yacht charters. With numerous secluded bays, crystal-clear waters, and untouched nature, the Kornati Islands offer a unique sailing experience. Many of the islands are uninhabited, providing a pristine and peaceful environment.
Pakleni Islands

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!
