🚤 Why Book a Yacht Charter in Croatia?

Croatia is one of the top sailing destinations in the world, thanks to:

• 1,000+ islands and islets

• Crystal-clear waters and sunny climate

• Modern marinas and excellent infrastructure

• Easy access from all over Europe

Sailing lets you explore places only accessible by boat — hidden coves, island villages, UNESCO towns, and national parks.

🧭 What to Know Before You Book

Before booking your yacht, consider these key details:

• Dates: High season is June to September. May and October are great for deals and fewer crowds.

• Departure point: Most yachts leave from Split, Trogir, Zadar, Šibenik, or Dubrovnik.

• Crew: Choose bareboat (licensed skipper only), skippered, or fully crewed.

• Type of yacht: Sailboat, catamaran, motorboat, gulet, or luxury yacht.

• Group size: Yachts range from 2-person cabins to 12+ guest luxury yachts.
