Croatia Motor Yacht Charter

We recommend motor yachts for clients who want to see more of Croatia in less time. 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.

Expect speeds of 12–20 knots, luxury-level comfort, and smooth cruising from island to island. It’s the best way to cover distance, like Split to Dubrovnik, in a one-week itinerary, without losing time under sail. Or venture north to the stunning Kornati Islands.

The Croatian motor yacht fleet is strong, growing, and mostly locally owned. Many captains own the yachts themselves, which means sharper service and real local know-how.

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.

Croatian Motor Yachts for More than 12 Guests

Croatia is one of our top destinations for yacht charters for more than 12 guests.

Croatia offers one of the largest selections of crewed yachts legally certified for 12+ guests. (Some of our largest luxury yachts can accommodate 30 – 70 guests.) These include custom motor yachts locally known as Croatia small ship cruises, (and some rare motorsailers and gulets)

As small ship cruises are hard to come by in most other countries, they book out fast, so inquire in good time!

How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Croatian 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.
