What yacht charter are you looking for?
Croatia yacht charter.
Croatia has undergone a remarkable transformation into a luxury yacht charter destination over the last decade, and it does not seem to be slowing down!
With a growing infrastructure accommodating larger yachts (the above 150-foot fleet is increasing rapidly), competitive pricing, and a plethora of stunning islands in close proximity, it offers a compelling alternative to destinations like Greece.
A major plus for Croatia yacht charter is its favorable legislation, which allows for larger groups on charters (more than 12 guests), a rarity within the EU!!
Contact one of our expert brokers for the BEST Croatia yacht charter deals for Motor Yachts , Catamarans , and Sailing Yachts & Gulets , and itineraries touching famous locations like UNESCO World Heritage Site Dubrovnik, Hvar and Mljet, and Kornati National Park.

Croatia Yacht Charter Types
Crewed yacht charters in Croatia include, at minimum, a captain and at least 1 stewardess. On a larger motor yacht, the number of crew can be higher than the number of guests (including engineers, bosun, and additional stewardesses)

How much does a yacht charter in croatia cost.
The price of a Croatian yacht rental depends on several factors. There are the obvious ones, such as yacht charter type, size, crew size, and level of luxury , and then there are the less obvious ones, such as tax, APA, fuel (which varies a lot depending on the itinerary and engine fuel consumption), and crew gratuity .
This comprehensive guide breaks down the factors that affect yacht charter prices, typical price ranges, and the importance of understanding any hidden costs you should be aware of.
It also provides tips for budgeting your trip , ensuring you are fully informed and prepared for your charter.
TIP: Chartering during the high season (July and August) is more expensive than in the low season when you can find great deals . Booking in advance or looking for last-minute deals can also affect prices.

Selecting the Right Crewed Yacht for Your Croatian Charter Vacation
There are quite a few factors to consider when looking for the right Crewed Yacht for your Croatian Yacht Charter Vacations. First and foremost, you have to consider your budget -Sailing yachts and catamarans tend to be significantly cheaper than motor yachts, especially when it comes to fuel consumption which plays a big role on a one-week Croatia yacht charter.
But you also have to pick the right yacht for your needs AND your itinerary; here, things like cruising speed, amenities, cabin layouts, and water toys matter.
Let’s take a closer look at the different yacht types and their advantages or…
SKIP THE RESEARCH AND TALK TO AN EXPERT
Croatia Motor Yacht Charters
For those opting for ultimate luxury and speed , we always recommend chartering a Motor Yacht in Croatia. The Dalmatian Coast is home to Croatia’s largest marina, accommodating large motor yachts and superyachts with ease. Docking at Dalmacija Marina, among many of Croatia’s finest Yachts, is a remarkable experience in itself.
The Croatia Motor Yacht Charters in our catalogs are typically locally owned and often captained by the owner himself or the owner’s son. This is a huge benefit, guaranteeing a top charter experience based on extensive experience and local knowledge .

Croatia catamaran charters.
There are several reasons for catamarans’ growing popularity in Croatia, one of which is their benefits in comfortable cruising. Catamarans are stable and graceful on the water and we therefore often recommend them for people who suffer from seasickness .
Their efficient design makes them noticeably faster than most sailing monohulls, and their shallow draft is a significant advantage, allowing for navigating in shallow waters and the option to anchor much closer to the beach.
A Catamaran Croatia also has the advantage of having roomy living quarters making them ideal for corporate team-building events, family charters, or a summer vacation with a group of friends.
Top 10 Croatia Catamaran Charters for Summer 2024/2025
Croatia sailing yacht charters.
If you wish to sail Croatia, you might consider a sailing yacht. Today, modern sailing yachts offer similar amenities to a motor yacht – except for the speed, which is lower, but so is the price! And, of course, it relies more on the wind, which can be both an advantage and a limitation. While motor sailors can achieve an average cruising speed of 15-20 knots , wind-powered sailboats usually cruise at 8-12 knots when the sailing conditions are good.
Croatia has small tides throughout the season—1-2 feet depending on the region, so the deeper draft of a sailing yacht is not an issue.
Based on our experience, large groups or families with kids often prefer the soundless and relaxing sailing experience in the Dalmatian islands.
Croatia Luxury Yacht Charters
When we talk about luxury yachts here, we refer to larger motor yachts or superyachts with high-end amenities and large crews, often with specialized staff such as fitness instructors, massage therapists, and more.
Think Jacuzzi , Spa rooms, Saunas, onboard Gyms and Cinema rooms, large selections of water toys with one or multiple jet skis , fully stocked bars and dancefloors, and we could go on.
Still, the price range within the luxury yacht Croatia category is quite wide, starting around €50,000 per week and reaching into the millions for a high-end mega yacht.
Croatia Large Group Charters (12-71 Guests)
If you’re looking for a yacht charter that can accommodate a large group ( more than 12 guests ), Croatia is the place for you!!
Croatia’s favorable legislation, which allows for larger groups on charters (more than 12 guests), is a rarity within the EU !! -i.e., Greece has a limit of 12 people per charter for all non-cruise ships. And this is the norm.
When it comes to large group yacht charters in Croatia, the options are plentiful. Most charters can accommodate between 12-20 people , but it’s not difficult to find a charter for 30 people, and there are even options for more. For instance, yachts like VARIETY VOYAGER can accommodate a whole 71 guests!

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!

Surrounding the Adriatic Sea, Croatia is one of Europe’s most beautiful paradise destinations. With its beautiful sandy beaches, majestic parks and clear waters, there’s no wonder this country is one of the top destinations in the world for a private yacht charter. Above its beautiful scenery, Croatia has a rich history and culture ready to be explored. What are you waiting for?
How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Croatia?
When it comes to choosing your yacht charter, there are many factors that can influence the price. Such factors can include the type of boat, the size of the vessel, the seasonality, and the duration of the trip. Below is a list of average prices according to yacht type.

The climate in Croatia
Croatia has a range of climatic conditions depending on the region. The most popular locations for private yacht charters are near the coast, particularly in the Dalmatian region. If you are planning to head here, then you should know that it has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Therefore, you can visit anytime between May and September for warm weather and long hours of sunshine.
Should you charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?
If you are searching for a holiday that combines relaxation, cultural visits, and a lot of fun, then a private yacht charter in Croatia is perfect for you. If you have a boating license, then feel free to explore the Adriatic Sea at your own leisure without a skipper. However, on Scansail, we also have many yachts that come with a skipper, so no nautical experience is required. Although a skipper will likely increase the price of your rental, there are many advantages to having someone on board with you. For one, a professional skipper will handle all the sailing, docking, and anchoring of the yacht, so you can focus on relaxing. Furthermore, they will be familiar with the surrounding waters, so you can remain comfortable and safe on your journey.
What to do in Croatia
Whether you are interested in a holiday with family, friends or alone, Croatia is an ideal destination for a private yacht charter. The Croatian coastline is one of the largest sailing areas in Europe, stretching across three main regions: Istria, Kvarner, and Dalmatia. Each of these regions holds its own unique flavour that is waiting to be explored. We have compiled a few recommendations to help inspire you on your boating holiday.
In the northern peninsula of the Croatian coast lies the region of Istria. Here, you can visit cities such as Pula and Rovinj. You will be enchanted by the aquamarine waters and the gorgeous architecture. If you want a combination of relaxation and adventure, we suggest you head island hopping through Krk, Rab, Cres and Losin. These laidback islands have a cool and historic feel to them, as they are less crowded than mainland Croatia. Our top suggestion is to navigate along these shores with your private yacht charter and soak up the Croatian sun, hopping from beach to beach until you find your perfect fit.
The Kvarner Gulf, sometimes referred to as the Kvarner Bay, is located between the Croatian mainland and the Istrian peninsula. The region is brought together by the mighty mountains and the subtropical fishing villages near the shores. This region of Croatia is often referred to as the Caribbean of Europe because the waters are calm and clear with white sands. The largest port here is Rijeka, boasting a lively city and a 20-kilometre stretch of seaside resorts in the Opatija Riviera.
Finally, the largest and most popular boating region in Croatia is Dalmata. Within this area, there are three main cities: Zadar, Dubrovnik, and Split.
Zadar is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia, making it filled with history and culture. If you want to disembark from your private yacht charter, you can wander through the streets to see Medieval architecture or head to Plitvice and Krka national parks for some hiking.
Next is Dubrovnik, located on the southern coast of the country. This city is known to be “the pearl of the Adriatic” for its natural beauty and proximity to other destinations. The city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so be sure to check out the Old Town to admire the charming streets. If it gets too crowded, take your private yacht charter to the islands of Lokrum or Otočić Grebeni for secluded beaches and coves!
Finally, Split is Croatia’s second-largest city, and is scattered with countless beaches that are perfect for sunbathing, water sports, and, of course, sailing! Start in Split and then embark on a journey in the Adriatic Sea to visit nearby islands such as Brac, Hvar, Lestovo, Trogir, and Vis. With so much to see and do, there’s no doubt that you’ll have an unforgettable boating holiday!

If you enjoy partying the night away and nursing your hangover in island paradise, Split is the one for you. During the day, this timeworn city displays ancient ruins throughout, whereas by night, bars and clubs open bringing the party to life. There are many islands close by, including the party island of Hvar, and even a famous blue cave on the nearby island of Bisevo.
Šibenik is surrounded by olive tree plantations which cultivate high-quality olive oil and vineyards which produce the finest Croatian wines, definitely worth a try if you choose to rent your motorboat in this historic coastal city. Visit St. James’ Cathedral and St. Michael’s Fortress where you can explore 14th century and medieval architecture. If you are looking for a paramount picture for your instagram, the fortress has 360 degree views featuring the Kornati islands. The beauty of doing a Croatia motor boat charter is the freedom to move around surrounding islands and cities.
Its old town, cosy cafes and swanky bars are impressive, but above all, Zadar’s solar panel powered dance floor and sea organ are probably its most incredible attractions. Relax by the sea as you listen to the sound of whale song created by the waves.
The most beautiful Croatian islands make island hopping an ideal plan for your group on your motor boat charter. The first glamourous island to vsiit is Hvar, flavoured by wealthy Croatian’s luxury holiday enthusiasts and party goers. If you love history and architecture, then next on your island hopping itinerary is Korcula.

Then on your motor boat rent in Croatia, why not go to Elaphiti Islands! An archipeleg, the islands are an ideal escape for a quiet base far from the city. Plus it is close to Dubrovnik so you might as well stop there too! Then on your Croatia motor boat holidays there is Brac which is home to the famous beach Slatni Rat! 50 minutes from Split, this island is full of isolated bays, cobblestone streets and romantic squares for you to indulge in. A Croatia motorboat rent will allow you to move through these islands and find your perfect personal beach.
For our natural history lovers, Brijuni islands is a must go. Out of the sixteen islands you can only visit two of them, which shows the 5,000 years of natural and human history on display including prehistoric times.
If you are looking for some peace and quiet, then we recommend taking your Croatia motor boat rental to Dugi Otok. This unspoiled and stunnfingly beautiful island is perfect for relaxing in peace and quiet. You can visit many of the picturesque villages and beaches. This island is ideal for those who want to find a quiet place to put their anchor down and jump into the water!

Whether you’re renting a boat with captain or you choose a bareboat, always keep in mind this basic safety guidelines:
- if you rent a captained charter, always pay close attention to your captain
- walk slowly and never run onboard as you can easily slip and fall overboard
- be mindful of stairs and hatches (never step on them)
- if you go swimming, floating or paddling, stay away from other boats even if they are anchored or moored
- pay attention to the other group members and make sure that everybody is accounted for at all times
Guidelines to responsible yachting
If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto: 'Take only photos, leave only wake' (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:
- Don’t disturb coral or sealife
- Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
- Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

Things to Do in St. Petersburg by Boat
Visit Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge
Just beyond the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and outside of Tampa Bay, the former military base has become a 280-acre state park and wildlife refuge and is home to a wide variety of birds, tortoises, sea turtles, and much more.
Only accessible by ferry or private boat, the island also has a rich history with ruins left from Fort Dade and a 150-year-old lighthouse. Although boats are not allowed to beach, visitors can anchor and walk ashore to enjoy the pristine beaches, hiking trails, and unspoiled natural beauty.
It's important to remember that pets are not allowed on the island due to the bird sanctuaries and other protected species, and there are no facilities available so it is important to bring plenty of fresh water and sunscreen.

Visit Bean Point Beach
Boaters leaving Tampa Bay to cruise out the Gulf of Mexico pass Anna Maria Island to the south. At the northern tip of the barrier island sits Bean Point Beach, one of the area's most beautiful beaches and the perfect place for an afternoon getaway or a day in the sun.
Although it is not remote or uninhabited, the white sands and turquoise waters make Bean Point Beach a popular attraction. Boaters can anchor up and wade ashore, where it is possible to watch manatees swim past while lounging in the sand, with access to nearby restaurants and other facilities within fairly easy reach.
No matter what you plan to do once you get there, remember to take plenty of fresh water and sunscreen along to help make your day in the sun a good one.

Fish in the Gulf or Tampa Bay
With quick, easy access to either Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico, St. Petersburg offers anglers a variety of inshore and offshore fishing opportunities. Well-known for the size and number of tarpon in the area, Tampa Bay offers great fishing when it might be too rough to run out to the deeper water in search of big fish. The Bay is also a great place to fish for redfish, snook, and many other species.
Offshore in the Gulf's deep waters, mackerel, shark, amberjack, mahi-mahi, tuna, and sailfish are common catches, although there are lots of grouper and snapper waiting on the bottom as well. Whether hunting out in the deep or keeping close to home, St. Petersburg offers some of the best fishing on Florida's West Coast.
Fishing Offshore
Target species : mahi-mahi, tuna, shark, amberjack, king mackerel, sailfish
Seasonality : St. Petersburg offers great fishing all year long. However, some species are more active during certain times of the year, so check local resources for more info.
Boat selection : The ride out into the Gulf may be longer depending on the desired type of fishing, so newer, faster center consoles and comfortable sportfishing boats are the most popular.
Fishing Inshore
- Target Species: s nook, spotted trout, tarpon, redfish, tripletail
- Seasonality: There are fish biting in St. Petersburg all year long, although some species, such as tarpon, are best caught at certain times of the year. Check local resources for information on your favorite catch.

Explore Sarasota Bay
Just south of the mouth of Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay offers boaters with smaller vessels another place to explore. Although it is shallower than Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay has well-marked channels and plenty of opportunities to fish, stop at a waterfront eatery, or gather with other like-minded boaters at a popular area sandbar.
Fish in some hotspots around the bay, or snorkel in the shallows to enjoy the creatures hiding in the seagrass. Cruise slowly past luxury homes or take in the area's incredible natural beauty, including a wide variety of waterbirds. Manatees are also common in the area, so it's important to keep watch for these slow-moving creatures.
Sarasota Bay is also known for its seagrass, so paying close attention to the marked channels is important to avoid fouling a propeller or damaging the ecosystem.
Nearby Marinas: Long Beach Shoreline Marina, Cabrillo Marina
Closest Boat Ramp: Sunset Aquatic Marina Boat Ramp, Granada Launch Ramp, South Shore Launch Ramp
Wake Zone: No Wake Zones exist in all protected waterways like marinas and channels. Pay attention to warning signs and buoys and, above all else, be courteous to other boaters, swimmers, and the area wildlife.
Tips: Long Beach has something for everyone. Cruise the harbor for a great view, haul or dock your boat and get out your walking shoes to take advantage of all Long Beach has to offer.
Lat/Long: 27.40136 N, -82.60934 W
Cruise the Gulf of Mexico
Leave Tampa Bay, turn north, and cruise Florida's west coast toward Clearwater and beyond. Or, turn south, and head down to Sarasota, Siesta Key, and Venice. Although many of the coastal areas have been developed, there are parks, preserves and sections of beachfront where Florida's natural beauty is on display.
If the weather is good and going deeper is the plan, head straight out of Tampa Bay into the Gulf of Mexico in search of big fish, or stay closer to shore and enjoy the sunshine and privacy of the open water.
Depending on the waves and wind, being out on the Gulf can make wakeboarding, water skiing, or any other activity fun. However, drifting along the coast for an afternoon can be a great way to relax in the sun.
It is especially important to carry plenty of fresh water, snacks, and sunscreen when running any distance from shore in case of a breakdown.
Nearby Marinas: The Tierra Verde Marina, Pass-A-Grille Marina, Cut's Edge Harbor Marina, Marina Bay of St Pete Beach
Closest Boat Ramp: Fort DeSoto Boat Ramp, Point Pinellas, The Tierra Verde Marina, Cockroach Bay Boat Ramp
Tips: The weather can change quickly, and boats can break down. Ensure the vessel has been well maintained, all safety equipment is in good condition, flares are not expired, and communication equipment like VHF radios are tested often. Going for a ride is great, but getting home safely is still the highest priority.
Lat/Long: 27.56175 N, -82.79259 W
