Is VAT included in the yacht charter price, or should I add 13% in Croatia?

Usually, you should add 13% VAT. For most Croatia yacht charters on our site, the base price is shown before VAT, and VAT is added separately.

Some yachts do list rates with VAT already included, so if a page clearly says VAT is included, you do not add it again. The safest rule is simple: if the page does not clearly say VAT is included, assume you still need to add 13%.

VAT usually applies to the base charter fee, not to variable trip costs like APA, which is why the full quote matters more than the headline starting rate alone.
