Yacht Charters in Croatia

Boasting over 3,000 miles of Adriatic coastline and over 1,000 islands, Croatia is often regarded as one of the most stunning parts of Europe and has been recently touted as "The Next Riviera". In the early 1990s Croatia's tourist industry was interrupted by war, but once again this destination has become a "hot spot" and a favorite holiday playground for a variety of visitors. Discover forested islands, sun-drenched beaches, ancient sea ports, crystalline waters, excellent sea-side restaurants, and friendly inhabitants.

Croatia has all the ingredients for an ideal sailing vacation - intriguing islands, warm waters, consistent sailing winds, and a rugged Croatian coastline. With a majority of Croatia's overall coastline miles being claimed by islands, reefs and cliffs, a sailing vacation in Croatia provides an unequaled opportunity to visit smaller and perhaps uninhabited islands as well as the must-see cities, island villages, and historic sights along the coast.

Charter yachts in Croatia typically island hop throughout the Dalmatian region, which just so happens to be the most visited region of Croatia. The reason for this popularity is easy to understand as this region includes fascinating seaports such as Dubrovnik, Split and Trogir as well as the pretty isles of Mljet, Hvar and Korcula. Dubrovnik, the "Crown Jewel of the Adriatic", is a medieval walled city with orange tiled roofs and marble streets. The mountainous isle of Mljet, known as the "Green Island", features two salt water lakes and a 12 th century monastery. Hvar is a must-see treasure with beaches, fields of scented lavender and a history steeped in the arts. One of the largest islands, Korcula is a popular tourist getaway with mountains, beaches, and its enchanting main town of Korcula which was fortified by the Venetians. Historic Trogir, a walled village set on its own island is a World Heritage Site and home to many splendid monuments. Neighboring Split is home to Emperor Diocletian's Roman Palace and just three miles away lays Salona, famous for its Roman ruins.

The Dalmatian coast is one of the sunniest parts of Europe with hot, dry summers. While the charter season in Croatia runs from May through September its busy, peak season includes the months of July and August as these claim the warmest weather and greatest numbers of tourists. Therefore, the off-season months of June and September are commonly recommended for visitors looking to enjoy off-season rates, fewer crowds, as well as good charter weather.
