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.
