Croatia is an idyllic Mediterranean yachting hotspot offering stunning beaches, crystalline waters and charming historic towns. Its rich heritage has been shaped by Illyrian, Roman, Christian and Venetian empires; leaving an astounding blend of architecture and culture behind.
Yachting holidays should not be missed during any European vacation.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik’s historical importance and stunning scenery make it an increasingly popular cruise stop, but there’s also much to discover on land. Spend a day wandering the Old Town streets or gazing out from one of the city walls.
Elaphiti Islands are just a short boat ride from the city and offer stunning waters and beaches, as well as historic 19th-century forts like Lokrum’s 19th-century fort with botanical gardens. If you love Game of Thrones, make sure not to miss Fort Lovrijenac, used as the Red Keep onscreen!
Sailing season runs from late April to October, with July and August being particularly crowded months for visitors. To truly experience all that the area has to offer without crowds or expensive berthing fees, consider planning your trip outside these peak periods.
Split
Split is the ideal starting point for an unforgettable yacht charter experience. This historic city, built around Emperor Diocletian’s ancient palace, provides ample historic and cultural attractions that you can take advantage of on an island hopping adventure or head towards Hvar with its vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches.

Hvar
Hvar is a Mediterranean gem offering everything a crewed yacht charter guest could wish for in terms of amenities and attractions, from island hopping opportunities and rich historical/cultural heritage to natural beauty and top-quality cuisine.

Korcula
Korcula Island, best known for being known as “mini Dubrovnik”, boasts lush, verdant surroundings characterized by sparkling waters, captivating mountains and charming old towns and marinas that are easily reachable via yacht charter services.
Discover pristine sandy coves and tranquil bays on the western side of Korcula island, while tasting locally produced wines that form part of Korculan cuisine.
Visit Lumbarda for one of the finest beaches on the island – Bilin Zal Beach. Additionally, its west coast offers several of the island’s most notable caves as well as Proizd’s beautiful island landscape. Don’t miss out on taking part in spring Easter processions that have become part of local tradition!
Mljet
Popular yacht charter options in Croatia typically consist of 30-50 footers that are privately owned, stunning sailing vessels with experienced crews aboard.
Mljet Island has long been celebrated as Croatia’s ‘Green Island’ – and for good reason; over two-thirds of it is covered with lush forests and its southern portion forms part of Peljesac Peninsula National Park. Nature enthusiasts will savor tranquil anchorages along the coast where hiking trails wind their way through dense woods while scuba divers discover an astonishing ecosystem beneath the waves.
Mljet yacht charters feature one of the world’s most majestic 12th century monasteries: St Mary’s on an islet in Veliko jezero (Big Lake). Each hour in summertime Pristaniste or Mali Most offers boat services to this site.
