Yacht charter Croatia draws you into one of the Mediterranean’s most rewarding coastlines – over 1,200 islands strung along the eastern Adriatic, where terracotta-roofed harbour towns nestle beneath limestone karst mountains and the scent of wild rosemary drifts across crystalline bays. From the Venetian palaces of Split and the cinematic ramparts of Dubrovnik to the waterfall archipelago of Kornati and the lavender fields of Hvar, Croatia offers an itinerary that balances culture, gastronomy, and sheer natural beauty in equal measure. The charter fleet is extensive and varied: luxury catamarans from 55 ft for unhurried island-hopping with shallow-draught access to quieter coves, modern motor yachts in the 68–98 ft range for groups seeking pace and panoramic sun decks, and superyachts above 100 ft for the ultimate Adriatic experience with a dedicated crew and onboard chef. Peak season runs from late June through August, when the Dalmatian coast is at its most vibrant; May–June and September–October deliver warm seas, emptier anchorages, and softer light for photography.
Charter rates start from €3,800 per day on a luxury catamaran, from €4,800 per day on motor yachts 68–78 ft, from €8,800 per day on the latest 88–99 ft models, and from €11,800 per day on superyachts, plus Croatian VAT and APA. Croatia is the Adriatic’s crown jewel, and it rewards every nautical mile.

With over 170 yachts available across Croatia – from 55 ft luxury catamarans and modern 68–98 ft motor yachts to superyachts exceeding 100 ft – you can filter the fleet above by type, guest capacity, length, and daily rate to find the perfect match for your group and budget. Weekly charter rates start from approximately €26,600 on a catamaran and from €33,600 on a motor yacht, rising to €82,600 per week on superyachts. Our charter specialists are on hand to discuss your requirements and recommend the ideal yacht for your Croatian voyage.
For peak-season charters in July and August, we recommend booking six to nine months ahead – the Dalmatian coast is one of Europe’s most popular cruising grounds and the best yachts are allocated early. Shoulder-season voyages in May–June or September–October can often be confirmed three to four months in advance and offer wider yacht availability.
The base charter rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and standard onboard equipment including water toys such as paddleboards, snorkelling gear, and inflatables. Provisioning, fuel, berthing fees, and any additional requests are covered by the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 25–35% of the charter fee. Croatian VAT at 13% applies to all charter contracts.
Absolutely. Croatia’s Adriatic position makes it straightforward to extend a charter south into Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor or north into Slovenia’s brief but beautiful coastline. Some itineraries also cross to Italy’s Puglia coast. Multi-country voyages typically require two weeks and may involve additional cruising permits, which our team can arrange on your behalf.
The Advance Provisioning Allowance is typically set at 25–35% of the base charter fee and covers fuel, food, beverages, berthing fees at marinas like ACI Split and Dubrovnik, and any additional onboard expenses. Your captain manages the fund throughout the voyage and provides a full itemised accounting at the end; any unused balance is refunded to you.
