Not always, but there is often more flexibility than people expect.
The first thing to look at is where the yacht is based and what its calendar is doing around your dates. A yacht based in Split can often still start in Dubrovnik, but there may be a relocation fee if the movement creates extra delivery time or cost. In other cases, the yacht may already be finishing a charter in the right area, and then the same move can work in your favor.
The same goes if you are already in Croatia and staying on an island. In some cases, the yacht can come and pick you up there instead of making you start from its main base. Because we have access to the yacht calendars, we can usually work out what is realistic and where the route, pickup point, or relocation can be turned to your advantage.
If you are still deciding where to begin, our guide on Split or Dubrovnik is a good place to start.
