Split is one of the premier starting ports to embark on a yacht charter journey through Croatia. This vibrant city stands as an epicenter of culture, boasting both its UNESCO heritage and modern energy in an ever-evolving mix. Cobbled streets, terracotta roofs and breathtaking architecture surrounded by sapphire seas make Split an essential stop on any itinerary through this coastal gem.
Split is best visited during its summer months from May through October on a yacht charter, though be prepared for crowds in July and August. For slightly lower prices and reduced crowds book your trip during May, June or September instead.
From Split, a yacht charter heading south will discover Hvar and its idyllic islands; an absolute must for every cruise ship passenger. Next will come Pakleni islands (known in Croatian as hell islands), before docking along Vis’ southern coastline for exploration of its lush vineyards and olive groves.

Yachting through Croatia’s glittering islands near Split can be one of the best yachting experiences you will ever have. While Hvar is well known, other gems to discover include Pakleni Islands – also known as Hell Islands in Croatian.
Sailing in June marks the start of peak sailing season without being overcrowded. Sea temperature allows for comfortable swimming without needing a wetsuit and towns and islands will become active. Explore timeworn center of Split’s churches and restaurants to feel its distinctive atmosphere; or visit its fortress for breathtaking views over harbour, town and breathtaking mountains.
Boat charter in Split is available all year long, but for maximum enjoyment we advise visiting at the tail ends of high season in May, June or September to avoid crowds and higher prices. Warm temperatures remain in May, June or September while prices remain significantly less than during high season.
