Why Charter a Motor Yacht for your croatia yacht charter vacation
Compared to sailing yachts or catamarans, motor yachts have shallower draft, allowing them to enter smaller and shallower inlets, as well as anchoring closer to beaches. They are comfortable, spacious, well-equipped, and most importantly – they are the fastest on the sea. In our experience, A Croatia luxury yacht charter on a motor yacht is the best way to explore the wonders of the country’s major island chains ensuring you get the most out of your time.
Croatian yacht charter itineraries include island hopping comparable to the “Caribbean”, commonly lasting 8 days and 7 nights. The efficiency of a crewed motor yacht charter also grants you the ultimate freedom. Not only can you fit more into your itinerary; if you find yourself in a port you don’t particularly like, you can simply pull up anchor and get somewhere better in a short time. Enjoy the cruise on your private yacht at top speed when island hopping or exploring the hotspots of the Croatian coast.
Additionally, unlike other popular yacht charter destinations where docking space is restricted, Croatia allows charter guests the freedom to drop anchor anywhere they want. For example, right in front of the beaches, granting an exotic experience and allowing direct access to the most pristine swimming locations.
Croatia motor yachts, typically locally owned, are often captained by the owner himself or the owner’s son. This is a huge benefit guaranteeing a top charter experience based on extensive experience and local knowledge. When you book your Croatia Motor Yacht Charter, you can be sure that you are in the best hands.
$30,000 - $90,000
Unlike many other popular charter destinations, Croatia allows large luxury motor yachts to charter 6-36 guests. Larger motor yachts have custom-built interiors, expansive living quaters, onboard facilities such as fishing gear, scuba gear and water sport toys.

Best time for a yacht charter in Croatia
The high season for Croatia yacht charters spans from July and August. This is by far the bussiest time as well as the hottest. If this does not appeal, you can opt for 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 Motor 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.

Old vs New Yachts and how if effects costs
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, and 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.
