A power catamaran gives you the two-hull space of a catamaran without waiting on the wind. In Croatia that matters more than most places: the islands sit close together, so an extra few knots turns a full-day passage into a morning hop and leaves the afternoon for swimming.
The fleet here is still small but growing, and the boats that are available book early.
Broker insight
Clients arrive at a power catamaran in Croatia after the same two thoughts: the sailing cat feels slow for a week with this many islands, and a motor yacht with the same living space costs a lot more. A power cat settles it. You keep the flat decks and the shallow draft, and you actually choose when to move rather than waiting on the wind.

Crewed power catamarans in Croatia start at around €40,000 per week, sitting above sailing catamarans of the same length and comfortably below a motor yacht with similar living space. Fuel burn is lower than a motor yacht, so the APA lands lower too. On top of the base rate, budget for:
Start in Split or Trogir and the whole of central Dalmatia opens up: Brac, Hvar, Vis, and Korcula in easy hops, with time to stop and swim between them. The shallow draft makes the Kornati islands out of Sibenik a genuine option, where the best anchorages are tight and rocky. A one-way run down to Mljet and Dubrovnik fits comfortably in a week.
Same twin-hull stability and space, no mast. A power cat cruises faster and more predictably, which suits island-hopping weeks. If you want to sail, start with our catamaran charters in Croatia.
Usually yes, both on the weekly rate and on fuel, which pulls the APA down. Compare with our motor yacht charters in Croatia.
The fleet is smaller than the sailing catamaran fleet and grows every season, so the good boats go early. Keep your dates flexible and let us show you the sailing cats too, in case one is the better fit for your week.
Most sleep 8 to 10 guests in four or five cabins, with 12 the legal maximum for a crewed charter. For bigger groups, look at Croatia’s gulets and motorsailers.
June and September are ideal: warm water, settled weather, quieter bays. July and August are peak season, hottest and busiest, and sell out first.
