What yacht charter are you looking for?
Croatia Yacht Charter
Croatia has undergone a remarkable transformation into a luxury yacht charter destination over the last decade. With infrastructure accommodating larger yachts, competitive pricing, and a plethora of islands in close proximity, it offers a compelling alternative to destinations like Greece. Croatia’s favorable legislation allows for larger groups on charters, a rarity within the EU. Contact us to explore Croatia’s charms and discover the perfect yacht for your next adventure.
WHY CHOOSE A YACHT CHARTER IN CROATIA?
Emerging Luxury Charter Destination
Over the last decade, we have seen Croatia completely transform from a post-Communist bareboat destination to a premier luxury yacht charter location.
This transformation has been fueled by significant investments in infrastructure, services, and amenities tailored to the needs of luxury yacht charterers. We now have a Croatian coast full of luxury marinas offering berthing for large vessels, as well as other facilities directed at the luxury charter industry.
Cheaper & Less Crowded
One of our biggest emphases on Croatia yacht charters is that it is both cheaper and less crowded compared to other popular yachting destinations in the Mediterranean. While we are seeing prices of luxury motor yachts and catamarans slowly climbing, Croatia still maintains a notable price difference of 15%-25% in most niches, compared to other destinations.
Additionally, we highlight the country’s lower VAT rates on charters, set at just 13% for weekly charters, contribute to its cost-effectiveness.
Allowing Charter Groups of 12-25 Guests
Croatia’s legislation is uniquely accommodating to larger groups, allowing us to offer luxury yacht charters and Gulets with 12-25 guests—a rarity within the European Union. The only other destination that allows for group charters of this size is Turkey.
This flexibility opens up opportunities for larger gatherings, whether it be extended family vacations, corporate retreats, or special celebrations, all within the picturesque backdrop of Croatia’s cruising ground.
Over 1000 Islands & many UNESCO Sites
With over 1000 islands and a magnificent coastline packed with historical towns, there is no shortage of wonderful anchorages to be explored. Croatia offers opportunities for a wide range of itineraries suiting all kinds of charter vacations whether it be with family, a partner, or a group of friends.
The country is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including iconic landmarks such as Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, and the historic city of Trogir.
TYPES OF YACHT Charters in Croatia
The following are the main categories of yachts available for charter in Croatia: luxury yachts, motor yachts, power catamarans, sailing yachts, and more. You can choose from various crewed yacht charter options within these categories. All yacht charters are customizable in terms of charter itineraries, onboard services, and activities, to suit the preferences of each client.
WHAT TYPE OF CHARTER YACHT SHOULD I GET?
For those opting for ultimate luxury and speed, we always recommend chartering a Motor Yacht in Croatia. The Dalmatian Coast is home to Croatia’s largest marina, accommodating large motor yachts and super yachts with ease. Docking at Dalmacija Marina among many of Croatia’s finest Yachts, is a remarkable experience in itself.
The Motor Yachts in our catalogs are typically locally owned, and 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 Motor Yacht Charter with us, you can be sure that you are in the best hands.
There are several reasons for catamarans’ growing popularity in Croatia, one of which is their benefits in comfortable cruising. Catamarans are stable and graceful on the water and we therefore often recommend them for people who suffer from seasickness.
Their efficient design makes them noticeably faster than most sailing monohulls and their shallow draft is a significant advantage allowing for navigating in shallow waters and the option to anchor much closer to the beach. Lastly, catamarans are great for their roomy living quarters making them ideal for corporate team-building events, family charters, or a summer vacation with a group of friends.
