In short
The Dalmatian Coast, Island by Island
A 7 day Croatia yacht charter from Split to Dubrovnik follows the Dalmatian coast through Brac, Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Mljet and the Elaphiti islands. Legs are short, one to three hours, and both ends of the route have an international airport. The season runs May to October, with June and September the quietest months. A crewed week typically costs around €55,000 plus expenses.
Croatia has more than a thousand islands, and the stretch between Split and Dubrovnik holds the best of them. The route is sheltered, the distances are short, and every night ends in a medieval harbour or a quiet pine fringed bay.
Running one way means no backtracking: you fly into Split, fly home from Dubrovnik, and see a different island every day in between.

Questions
Planning this route
When is the best time for a Croatia yacht charter?
May to October. June and September combine warm seas with quiet harbours. July and August are peak season, with the liveliest atmosphere in Hvar and Dubrovnik and the highest demand for berths.
Is Split to Dubrovnik better than a round trip?
One way lets you see more with no backtracking, and both cities have international airports. A repositioning fee may apply, which we confirm before you book.
How much does a week in Croatia cost?
A crewed week in the East Mediterranean typically costs around €55,000, with most yachts between €35,000 and €100,000 and superyachts from €100,000 to more than €500,000 per week. Croatian VAT and an advance provisioning allowance are charged additionally.
Can we add Montenegro?
Yes. With eight to ten days the route can continue from Dubrovnik to the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, one of the most dramatic anchorages in the Mediterranean.
