City of Split
Split, an age-old 1,700-year old town built around Emperor Diocletian’s Roman palace, is a key seaport, cultural, and business center. As the perfect starting point for yacht charters exploring Brac’s Zlatni Rat beach; Hvar’s vibrant nightlife; or Vis with its Roman remains and crystal waters islet, Split is an ideal starting point.
Split offers an abundance of yachts for rent through Click&Boat, including skippered or bareboat motor boats and catamarans from Skip&Boat’s Click&Boat fleet. ACI Split Marina is the largest of them all; however Poljud Marina, Zenta Marina and Spinut Marina all provide yacht charter berths as well.
Split is best visited between May and October when its climate is warm, dry and has minimal precipitation. To avoid crowds of tourists, plan your visit for late May, June or September when high season tourism has tapered off. Visit UNESCO-protected Diocletian’s Palace or walk its narrow streets of Split’s historic centre.
Hvar
Croatia’s second-largest city has quickly become a yachting hot spot thanks to its impressive architecture, hip hangouts and effortless cool. Renowned for its sapphire sea, picture-perfect beaches and lavender fields. Come stroll the timeworn center and admire awe-inspiring architectural jobs before enjoying delicious seafood dishes at one of its rustic restaurants or partying it up at its contemporary clubs!
From Split you can island hop across this breathtaking country by land and sea. Visit UNESCO World Heritage sites Trogir and Split or hike the stunning Marjan Forest park; alternatively go rafting down the Cetina River at Krka National Park with breathtaking waterfalls or kayak to Blue Lagoon for snorkelling among pristine pebble beaches and relaxing days at Blue Lagoon.
Pakleni Islands
Shoulder season is an excellent opportunity to explore Hvar and Pakleni Islands without competing with crowds of day-trippers. By visiting at this time, visitors can appreciate pristine beaches and hidden coves before the crowds arrive; alternatively they can seek refuge elsewhere on the island should they feel overwhelmed.
Pakleni Islands should be part of any trip to Hvar. Their picturesque waters and idyllic beaches attract many, while the name itself might have come from local use of pine resin for waterproofing boats – an interesting fact about Hvar town itself!
Sveti Klement Island, which is the largest of the Pakleni Islands, boasts the renowned Palmizana Bay. Here, visitors will find beach bars and restaurants along with plenty of space to swim, sunbathe and relax – with some of Croatia’s clearest waters ideal for swimming, diving and kayaking activities.
