What is the best time of the year to charter a yacht in Croatia?

The yacht charter season in Croatia runs from April to October, with each period offering its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Spring (April – June) brings mild weather, fewer tourists, and lower prices, but the sea can still be cool for swimming. Summer (July – August) offers the warmest weather, perfect for swimming and enjoying lively coastal life, though it comes with crowded destinations and higher charter prices. Autumn (September – October) offers pleasant temperatures and warm sea waters, with fewer crowds and moderate prices, but the weather can be more unpredictable, with occasional rain or winds. Ultimately, the best time to charter depends on personal preferences, holiday schedule, and budget, as each period offers a unique experience tailored to different needs.

Where to charter a yacht in Croatia?

Split is considered the best place to charter a yacht in Croatia due to its central location, making it easy to explore nearby islands like Hvar, Brac, and Vis. The city offers excellent marina facilities and is well-connected by air and sea, making it a convenient starting point for your sailing trip. Split has a lively atmosphere with plenty of restaurants, bars, and historic sites to enjoy before or after your sail. The nearby islands provide a mix of beautiful beaches, charming towns, and clear waters, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. With its combination of accessibility, great services, and stunning surroundings, Split is an ideal base for a yacht charter in Croatia.

How to book a yacht charter in Croatia?

Selecting a preferred date and boat type and size is the first step when booking a yacht charter in Croatia. Next, contact a reliable charter company and share your holiday preferences, including the type of charter you want—crewed, skippered, or bareboat. The company will provide you with available options based on your needs. After choosing your yacht and confirming the price, you need to sign the charter contract and make a deposit to finalize the booking.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Croatia?

The cost of chartering a yacht in Croatia varies depending on the type, size and age of the yacht, the season, and whether it’s a bareboat or skippered or crewed charter. Luxury yachts with professional crews and additional amenities typically come at a higher price, while smaller sailing boats or catamarans are more budget-friendly. The time of year also plays a significant role, with peak summer months being more expensive than the shoulder season in spring or autumn. Additional costs such as fuel, mooring fees, and provisioning should also be considered when planning your budget. Sending an enquiry to a charter company you will receive a detailed quote and total costs breakdown.

What licenses are required for bareboat charter in Croatia?

In order to bareboat charter in Croatia apart from the experience matching the boat size you also need to have a valid navigational license and VHF radio certificate. On the link https://mmpi.gov.hr/UserDocsImages/dokumenti/MORE/More%208_20/TABLICA-ENG%20kolovoz%202020%2021-8_20.pdf , you can find the list of recognized foreign licenses in Croatia. You can always contact us and send us photo of your licenses and we will confirm it is good to go.

How does the skippered yacht charter work?

A skippered yacht charter in Croatia provides you with a professional skipper who takes care of navigating, docking, and ensuring your safety on board. The skipper will customize the itinerary based on your preferences, offering local knowledge of the best islands, beaches, and hidden gems. While the skipper handles the sailing, you and your group can relax and enjoy the journey without needing prior sailing experience. You are still free to participate in sailing activities if you’d like to learn or be involved. The skipper stays on the yacht throughout the trip, so it’s essential to factor in their accommodation and meals as part of the planning.

What are the benefits of hiring a hostess for your charter?

Hiring a hostess for your yacht charter adds an extra layer of comfort and relaxation to your sailing experience. The hostess handles grocery shopping and prepares breakfast and lunch, allowing you to savour freshly made meals without the hassle of cooking. They keep the yacht tidy by cleaning dishes, the kitchen, saloon, cockpit, and bathrooms, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment throughout the trip. Hostesses also assist the skipper during docking, making the process smoother and more efficient. With their local knowledge, they can suggest the best locations for sightseeing, dining, and nightlife, helping you discover the hidden gems of Croatia. Their presence enhances your overall experience, letting you focus entirely on enjoying your sailing adventure.
