Split, Croatia yacht charter is an essential destination for history lovers. This cultural hub features cobblestone streets and baroque and Venetian-influenced architecture – truly an unparalleled cultural treasure trove!
Visit UNESCO world heritage sites such as Kastela and Trogir castles; island hop to explore Hvar and Pakleni Islands with their unspoiled beaches; take part in boat cruises around Hvar and Pakleni islands to witness unforgettable views and stunning beaches!
Diocletian’s Palace
Diocletian chose this sun-drenched bay as the site for his retirement palace; over time it evolved into a town as locals made adjustments that met their needs and desires – today the charming city stands as testament to how history can co-exist harmoniously with modernity.
Take note of the Cathedral bell tower in the center of Palace; its steep antique steps may challenge even those with strong legs, but the breathtaking views over Split’s sparkling waters more than make up for any difficulty encountered climbing them! From here, wander the lively streets with art galleries, boutique shops selling trend-setting goods, as well as being within strolling distance of picturesque sandy Bacivce Beach for a quick beach break!
Cathedral Belltower
Split’s Cathedral Belltower is one of its most striking symbols, offering spectacular views from its summit over Old Town and Adriatic coastline. Climbing it offers breathtaking panoramas. A trip down into its crypt, which holds sacred art and antiquities is well worth your while as well.
The Cathedral Belltower in Split was originally intended as a mausoleum for Diocletian, but when Christians returned following Rome’s fall it was converted into a church. Additionally, this cathedral holds bishop Domnius’ bones as well as numerous sculptural reliefs.
When visiting Split on a yacht charter, The Cathedral should be at the top of your to-do list. Most visitors stay an extra day or two to explore this thriving, historic UNESCO-listed town – whether enjoying bustling piazzas, gazing over from tower views, exploring narrow alleyways or just simply gazing upon this sight from above! With easy access to numerous islands along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and close proximity to its many islands – Split makes an excellent starting point for your next sailing voyage
Bacivce Beach
Bacvice Beach, located within easy walking distance of Diocletian’s Palace, offers plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun. Sink your toes into soft sand or wade into clear shallow waters for a relaxing dip – then head back out onto one of the seaside restaurants for lunch and an ice cold beverage to top off your experience!
If you want a truly intimate experience, consider renting a yacht with a skipper on a weekly basis. While bareboat charter (without captain included) allows for flexibility in steering the vessel yourself, Sailo offers several weekly yacht rentals which come complete with skipper. Simply present your valid boating license when renting from them as this is required before renting in Split; your skipper can help discover hidden beaches and attractions you would otherwise miss!
Trogir
Trogir, located on its own small island, should be included on any itinerary of a Croatia yacht charter. With its well-preserved Romanesque-Gothic heart surrounded by baroque and Renaissance buildings and medieval city walls, Trogir makes for an unforgettable visit that won’t soon be forgotten! With such rich history behind it all and unique character all its own, visiting Trogir makes for an enchanted journey.
City life can be hectic during the daytime when local tour boats and island-hopping sailing yachts fill its waters. But as soon as sundown comes around, the waterfront promenade takes on an altogether more tranquil and elegant ambiance – the ideal setting for enjoying an Aperol Spritz!
