In short

Chartering a yacht in Croatia, with your own crew

A Croatia yacht charter is a private crewed voyage, usually 7 to 10 days long. A week typically costs around €55,000 plus expenses, with most yachts between €35,000 and €100,000 and superyachts above €500,000. The classic route covers one way from Split to Dubrovnik by Hvar, Vis, Korcula and Mljet. Navélia sends three available yachts for your dates in about 10 minutes.

Why Croatia

Croatia packs more than a thousand islands into one sheltered, turquoise coastline. The Dalmatian coast between Split and Dubrovnik is the heart of it, a chain of historic harbours and pine fringed anchorages where the next island is never more than an hour away.

Split and Dubrovnik are the two main charter bases, both with international airports minutes from the marina. From Split, Hvar, Brac, Vis and Korcula line up into a perfect week of island hopping. From Dubrovnik, the Elaphiti islands and Mljet national park sit right on the doorstep, with the city walls as your backdrop at anchor.

Overview

Why Charter in Croatia?

Best Time to Visit

May to October. June and September are superb, warm seas and uncrowded harbours. July and August are peak season with the liveliest atmosphere in Hvar and Dubrovnik.

Recommended Duration

A week from Split covers Hvar, Vis, Korcula and Brac at a relaxed pace. One way Split to Dubrovnik is the classic Dalmatian route. Day charters run from Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik.

Marine Life

Dolphins throughout the Adriatic, tuna and swordfish offshore, and excellent snorkelling in the Kornati and around the blue caves of Vis and Bisevo.

  • Split & Trogir

    The main charter base of the Adriatic. Diocletian's Palace, the Riva promenade and the islands of Brac and Solta less than an hour away.

  • Hvar

    The glamour island of the Dalmatian coast. A fortress above the harbour, the Pakleni islands opposite and the best nightlife on the Adriatic.

  • Dubrovnik

    The walled city seen the way it should be, from the water. Anchor off Lokrum and tender in beneath the ramparts.

  • Korcula

    A miniature Dubrovnik on its own island, with quiet bays, vineyards and one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe.

  • Kornati Islands

    A national park of nearly ninety bare islands and islets, empty anchorages, salt pans and crystal clear Adriatic water.
