The best time to go
Croatia boasts more than 1000 islands and coves, making it one of Europe’s premier yacht charter destinations. Island-hopping aboard a crewed yacht allows you to experience authentic Mediterranean culture unspoiled by mass tourism – you will dock at coastal towns featuring historic architecture and fine restaurants as well as serene anchorages dotted with olive groves.
Low season rental costs start as little as 800 Euro per week for a 2-cabin sailboat; during high season (mid-May – mid-September), rates increase significantly due to improved weather conditions.
Croatia makes yacht chartering accessible and cost-effective even for novice sailors, making this experience enjoyable and affordable for even first-time sailing enthusiasts. All that’s required for sailing in Croatia is an International Certificate of Competence (ICC; convertable from an RYA DaySkipper or equivalent), plus an experienced skipper holding at least a BICC certificate; our Charter Experts can help find you an itinerary tailored to your sailing experience and budget with one or more boats matching them perfectly! When renting in Croatia you’ll pay a charter fee plus mooring charges plus an end cleaning charge (similar to hotel pre-authorisation), leaving a security deposit (similar to hotel room pre-authorisation), while Navigare Carefree offers full damage waiver insurance/full coverage plus other optional extras to ensure an effortless yacht charter experience!
