Croatia law dictates that boat rentals require a boat leader license of category B; however, crewed yacht chartering with skipper is allowed without such requirements.

Choose from our extensive selection of modern boats available for rental. Whether it’s a bareboat sailboat, luxurious motor yacht or spacious catamaran that suits you best, we have what you’re searching for.

High season

Croatia’s coastline features idyllic bays, natural wilderness areas and turquoise waters that beckon boaters and travelers alike. It is an attractive travel destination thanks to its rich marine life, ancient towns and pristine beaches – making Croatia an excellent spot to spend your vacation!

June and July are peak season for yachting activities; therefore expect full yachts at higher prices; however, sea temperatures are still ideal for swimming and other aquatic recreation activities.

An ideal way to explore Croatia is aboard a crewed boat charter. Your captain’s nautical knowledge and local insight will allow you to discover hidden gems off-the-beaten path while providing delicious gourmet meals tailored specifically for you – plus they may bring additional snacks or beverages if requested!

Bareboat charter

A bareboat charter is an ideal way to explore Croatia’s stunning coast and discover its many islands, but it is essential that you understand how this form of yacht rental operates before making your booking decision.

Before embarking on a Bareboat Charter, it is important to understand that such trips require a Skipper/Hostess with valid sailing and VHF licenses and an insurance policy in force for the yacht in which you intend to sail.

Contrary to crewed or skippered charters, bareboat boats feature cabins for two people and can be chartered for any amount of time – from one day up to several weeks. Bareboat boats tend to be cheaper than luxury yachts while offering many of their amenities; additionally they’re more agile in reaching Croatia’s stunning coastline locations.

Air conditioning

Croatia’s glittering waters, medieval towns and over 1,400 islands entice yachting enthusiasts year after year. Croatia also boasts a rich historical past which can be found along its coastlines or within one of the magnificent cities dotted around.

Renting a boat during high season, when temperatures are warm and sunny, can make for the ideal environment for exploring Croatia’s islands, beaches, and historic towns during the day and relaxing in your private cabin at night.

Alessandro, Dolce Vita, Lady Gita and AIAXAIA offer guests a relaxing trip through Croatia on board these gulet yachts. Equipped with air conditioning that comes in handy in high temperatures as well as amenities like jacuzzis and dining areas for added comfort, these vessels make your journey easy and pleasant.

Croatia has quickly emerged as an alluring travel destination, boasting over 5,000 kilometers of pristine Adriatic coast with stunning natural wonders, vibrant historic cities and idyllic islands – an experience perfect for sailing enthusiasts of any skill level.

Are You Searching for the Ideal Yacht to Charter in Croatian Seas? Below are some helpful guidelines and suggestions on finding your ideal vessel in Croatian seas.

Bow propellers are small engines mounted at the bow (front) of a boat that allow its skipper to easily navigate tight spaces with precision and maneuver. Perfect for boats with shallow drafts that need to navigate narrow entrances.

Skipper

Croatia offers an impressive variety of yachts for crewed and bareboat charter, the cost of which depends on various factors including yacht size/type/destination/duration of trip as well as any extra services requested – it may also depend on time of year – generally summer prices tend to be higher than other times.

One way to reduce costs is hiring a skipper. They can assist in navigating through unfamiliar waters and suggest trips for excursions, while their knowledge of your boat and its equipment allows for an enhanced sailing experience.

Skippers can save time and money by helping to navigate through the licencing process for you, while cutting refuelling and food costs down significantly.
