Why Pick a Croatia Motor Yacht Charter?
A Croatia motor yacht charter is one of the most exciting and efficient ways to explore the Adriatic. With over 1,000 islands and no anchoring restrictions, you can stop right in front of beaches, explore remote coves, or dock in luxury marinas along the Dalmatian Coast.
We recommend motor yachts to clients who want maximum freedom and speed—perfect for covering more ground in a one-week itinerary from Split to Dubrovnik. That means hitting highlights like Hvar, Vis, Lastovo, and Mljet National Park, or venturing north to the Kornati Islands. While Croatia was once dominated by sailing yachts and catamarans, it’s now one of the Mediterranean’s top motor yacht charter destinations, backed by a fast-growing fleet and world-class infrastructure that way outshines Greece.
Fastest Option: 10+ knots gets you further on a 1-week charter
Ultimate luxury amenities – Spas, Jacuzzis, Gyms, Cinema Rooms, Jet Skis, it goes on
Increased popularity in Croatia has grown the fleet – Fantastic motor yachts available
Types of Croatian Motor Yacht Charters
What About the Crew?
The number of crew members depends on the size and price of the charter yacht. Crewed yacht charters in Croatia include at minimum, a captain and at least 1 stewardess.
On larger yachts, the number of crew can be higher than the number of guests (including engineers, bosun, and additional stewardesses)
Featured Croatian Motor Yachts
We get onboard the charter yachts at yearly yacht shows like the recent CROYA Yacht Show, held in Split in October 2024. Our decision is based on amenities, our impressions of the crew, value for money, and client feedback; they are some of the BEST deals available right now!

What Does a Motor Yacht Look Like Onboard?
A Croatia motor yacht is everything you need for a comfortable and fun trip on the water. Most have 3-5 cabins, so there’s room for 6-12 guests to stay. The saloon is spacious and perfect for relaxing or eating, with big windows so you can enjoy the view. Outside, you’ll find sunbathing spots, a shaded dining area, and a swim platform to easily get in the water. Most motor yachts also come with a big selection of water toys like paddleboards, seabobs, and jet skis, and amenities like jacuzzis, spa facilities, cinema rooms, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Depending on what itinerary you pick, you will fly into either Split, Dubrovnik, or Zadar. Most Yacht Charters start in Split. From the airport, we will arrange a car transfer to the marina, which is about 30 30-minute drive.
For a 1-week luxury yacht charter in Croatia, we typically tell clients to spend at least €50,000 if they want a truly high-end experience. Here is an example price breakdown of a luxury motor yacht like Majera, a brand-new 2024, 87-foot Sirena with 5 cabins for 11 guests and fantastic amenities, including a Jacuzzi and spa room.
- Base Price: €77,500
- Croatian Charter Tax (13%): €10,075
- Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA – 35%): €27,125
- Crew Gratuity (15%): €11,625
Total Estimated Cost: €126,325 for a week.
This covers everything involved in your charter: Food, drinks, fuel (usually 3-4 hours per day), crew services, and use of water toys.
How Much Does a Yacht Charter Really Cost? A Comprehensive Guide
Read MoreIt is easy; just reach out to one of our charter brokers by selecting a specific broker from the list at the bottom of this page or by initiating a chat in the chat box below. Tell us what type of yacht you are looking for, when you wish to go, and what your estimated budget is, and one of our brokers will get back to you with a list of options suiting your needs.
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.
You are in luck. Croatia is one of our top destinations for large-group charters. This is what you need to know:
In Croatia, luxury charter yachts that carry more than 12 people are legally considered passenger ships. These ‘Mini Cruises’ have special registration and fulfill special requirements that allow them to do so. (Some of our largest luxury yachts can accommodate 30 – 70 guests.)
The best options for a yacht charter for more than 12 guests are Mini Cruises or Gulets. Inquire with us, and we will send you a list of the best options.
As Mini Cruises are hard to come by in most other countries, they book out fast, so inquire in good time!

Yes. A set amount of hours of motoring, usually between 3-4, is included in the APA (advance provisioning allowance). In a standard itinerary this is enough to get you to your destination each day. If you want to go further and see more, you will need to pay for any extra hours of motoring.
PRO TIP: Take fuel consumption into account when choosing your luxury yacht. – Newer yachts, usually equipped with newer engines, are more fuel-efficient. A sailing yacht is more fuel-efficient than a motor yacht. 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.
Croatia Motor Yacht Charter Itineraries
Thanks to cruising speeds of 10–20 knots, a motor yacht charter in Croatia gives you the freedom to explore any of the three main coastal regions—north, central, or south—within a one-week itinerary.
Our favorite route runs from Split to Dubrovnik, covering just 130 nautical miles and averaging under two hours of cruising per day. It hits icons like Hvar, Vis, and Mljet and ends in Dubrovnik’s old town.
Motor yachts also make it easy to explore the less-trafficked Kornati Islands up north or cruise all the way to Pula in Istria. Catamarans, by contrast, we recommend turning around at Lastovo or skipping the northern routes due to longer travel times.

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 (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.
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
Located near the island of Hvar, the Pakleni Islands are a stunning archipelago with hidden coves and beautiful beaches. Sailing around these islands allows you to discover secluded spots for swimming and relaxation. If you are visiting Croatia, add this to your list!
Mljet National Park
This park, situated on the island of Mljet, is known for its two interconnected saltwater lakes. Charter yachts can anchor in the sheltered Pomena Bay and explore the park, including the tranquil lakes and the small island of St. Mary with its Benedictine monastery.

This was a trip of a lifetime! We booked with Nadja at DMA yachting and she made sure the entire process was easy and no problems. Our charter was with Zuri3 and our Captain Andre and First Mate Jana made our trip amazing! They made sure everything was taken care and treated us like royalty. This is not just a vacation this is an experience of a lifetime.

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!
