What Does a Croatia Luxury Yacht Charter Involve?
First-Class Amenities
A Luxury Motor Yacht is the ultimate vessel for a private charter. Think huge floating luxury paradise with all the amenities of a 5-star hotel, like spa facilities, such as saunas, Jacuzzis, and Massage rooms, as well as fully equipped gyms, manned bars, and movie theaters under the stars.
But it is so much more than a hotel because it has the ability to move from one amazing place to another, with beachfront views everywhere and direct access to the water off elaborate beach decks or floating pontoons with swim ladders and Jet Ski docks, or even via an inflatable waterslide from the top deck.
Large Selections of Water Toys
A Croatia Luxury yacht Charter often offers a huge selection of water toys, with one or several Jet Skis (See ALL Yachts with Jet Skis), water skis, wakeboards, seabobs (currently one of the most asked-for water toys on charters), flyboards, efoils and the list goes on.
Some high-end charters even offer the opportunity to hire a private submarine for deep dives. There really are no limits in Luxury Yachting.
Note that if you are set on a yacht but it does not have the exact water toy you want, we can arrange for the toy to be included for your personal charter.
Ultimate Customization & Flexibility
A luxury yacht charter in Croatia, or a superyacht charter, typically offers greater flexibility in designing your itinerary and tailoring the experience to your preferences. Let’s say you want your wedding or birthday on a yacht.
For example, we have previously chartered an entire temple in Greece for a client’s event. We can also arrange a private jet to take you to your charter, a helicopter tour, or a limo transfer to your restaurant booking.
In essence, there is not much that isn’t possible. This customization allows for a unique and personalized voyage, granting a more fulfilling luxury charter experience aligned with your specific desires.
Large Crew & Spezialized Staff
Croatia Luxury yacht charters come with a highly trained and professional crew, including gourmet chefs, stewardesses, and specialized personnel such as personal trainers, yoga instructors, or masseuses, if desired. We see some yachts with Michelin sushi chefs or a marine biologist or historian.
The crew’s expertise ensures impeccable service, attention to detail, and a level of hospitality that surpasses standard yacht charters.
Access to Premium Destinations
With the higher speed and budget of luxury yacht charters, you have the option to access exclusive and remote destinations that are not easily reachable by ordinary vessels.
This opens up a world of scenic and pristine locations for exploration, providing a unique and extraordinary journey. Maybe you want to one day be on the most remote island with a private dinner on the beach and then be in the buzz of vibrant nightlife along the Croatian Riviera the next night. A luxury yacht charter will take you wherever you wish to go!

When is the Best Time for a Luxury Yacht Charter in Croatia?
The high season for Croatia yacht charters spans from July and August. This is by far the busiest time as well as the hottest.
If this does not appeal, you can opt for a pre-season or post-season yacht charter. The Croatian climate is warm enough, with mild winters, too, giving you a bigger window during which to find the perfect motor yacht for your Croatia yacht charter.
The months of May-June and September-October are quieter and less crowded as far as anchorages and routes are concerned. During this time, the motor charter rates are considerably cheaper than during the high season, especially for popular destinations such as Dubrovnik.
How to Book a Croatia Luxury Yacht Charter?
Ideally, you’d inquire about a Croatia motor charter 12 months in advance. WHY? The best motor yachts are often fully booked long in advance and it’s not unusual to see popular dates booked 2 summers ahead for a Croatia yacht charter vacation.
Inquiring less than 6 months ahead often means that your first choice is unavailable for charter. Additionally you might find that the motor yacht you want, can’t make it to the port where you wish to commence your yacht charter.
Crewed Motor Yachts for Large Group Charters (12+)
One of our top destinations for large groups charters is Croatia. I you are looking for luxury yachts able to accommodate groups larger than 12 people, or you are looking for more room for the money, Croatia is a great location.
In Croatia, luxury yachts that carry more than 12 people are legally considered passenger ships. Our ‘Large Group Charter Yachts’ are registered to take more than 12 people per charter. (Some of our largest luxury yachts can accommodate 30 – 70 guests.)
Be aware that the crewed yacht charter price ranges significantly. Inquire with your broker to learn about the price of specific yachts.
Old vs New – Save on Fuel Lower Fuel Consumption
In the world of yacht charters, the choice between a new or an older vessel is not merely a matter of aesthetics or initial yacht price; it significantly impacts the overall fuel consumption, consequently the overall cost of your Croatian charter vacation, and the environmental footprint of your maritime journey.
Newer yachts, often equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and engineering advancements, tend to be more fuel-efficient.
Modern engines and design innovations contribute to a smoother, more economical ride through the waves.
While the initial charter cost for a new yacht might be higher, the potential savings in fuel expenses can make it a more sustainable and cost-effective choice in the long run.
Want to Sail Croatia? What About a Luxury Sailing Yacht?
Why not combine luxury and adventure? If you are a sailing enthusiast or simply wish to have the thrilling experience of being on a sailing yacht, then this might be for you.
These days, sailing yachts do not necessarily mean a compromise on luxury; on the contrary, many sailing yachts now have onboard luxury amenities quite comparable to motor yachts, including everything from Jacuzzis to major wellness centers.
Apart from the great fun that it is to be moving by the sheer power of the wind, an advantage of opting for a sailing yacht is reduced fuel consumption, which can significantly impact your overall charter price! Save the money on fuel and spend it on more luxury.
Where to Go? Popular Yacht Charter Destinations in Croatia
Croatia is known as “The Land of 1000 Islands” and has over one thousand islands, of which only about 50 are inhabited. Previous clients have referred to it as “a paradise of unspoiled landscapes” due to its pristine beaches and anchorages, picturesque coves, and crystal-clear waters.
In addition to the Dalmatian islands, the Dalmatian coast on the Croatian mainland offers some of the locations featured in the popular “Game of Thrones” TV show and the James Bond movies, as well as UNESCO World Heritage sites and world-famous scuba diving and snorkeling spots.
Some of the most popular destinations include Blue Cave (on Biševo Island), the Kornati Islands or Kornati National Park (with a variety of marine life, including dolphins, sea turtles, and colorful fish), and Velebit Channel, which is popular among experienced divers due to its strong currents and abundance of marine life.

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!
