Planning Your Luxury Yacht Charter

To ensure an unforgettable experience, consider these factors when booking your yacht:

1. Guest List & Party Size:

    • For families with children, opt for yachts with water toys and twin cabins.
    • For adult groups, prioritize yachts with multiple master or VIP cabins.
    • Larger groups can explore options like motorsailers, gulets, or mini cruisers.

2. Budget:

Yacht charter costs depend on the yacht type, size, and season. Don’t forget to budget for additional expenses such as fuel, mooring fees, supplies, and crew gratuities. An Advance Provision Allowance (APA) of 20–30% of the charter price typically covers these costs.

3. Preferred Yacht Type:

The yacht type you choose depends on the kind of cruising experience you want and the level of service and amenities you require. Do you prefer motor yachts, or are you more inclined to catamarans, motorsailers, or traditional gulets? 

Regarding watersports, please note that while luxury yachts may offer a variety of watersports, to drive a Wave Runner or Jetski in Croatia, one needs to have a boat driving license with him/her when on the Wave Runner. It is forbidden to allow a person to drive a Wave Runner if one does not have a license with him/her.

  • Motor Yachts for speed and elegance.
  • Catamarans for spacious decks and comfort.
  • Motorsailers & Gulets for a traditional Adriatic vibe.

4. Menu & Cuisine:

Complete a preference form to customize your onboard dining experience. Whether you desire Mediterranean specialties, dietary-specific menus, or fine wines, the crew will cater to your tastes.

One of the most important aspects of a luxury yacht charter is matching the chef's skills with the taste of the charter guests. If you wish to have a specific type of cuisine served on board, it is always best to look into this subject as soon as the kind of yacht is chosen.

We will issue a preference form, which is a questionnaire that will enable you to communicate your preferred cuisine, bar & other requirements, from dietary components to preferred activities! This form will ensure the crew and chef are aware of any particular likes and dislikes that your party may have.

5. Special Requirements

From private transfers to tailored itineraries, your preferences matter. Whether it’s helicopter services, specific island stops, or additional activities, Croatia’s luxury yacht charter services are equipped to meet your needs.

When to Charter a Luxury Yacht in Croatia

Thanks to its mild Mediterranean climate, Croatia offers year-round cruising opportunities.

  • Spring & Early Fall (April to mid-June, mid-September to October): Cooler temperatures perfect for hiking, cycling, and sightseeing.
  • Summer (June to September): Ideal for swimming, watersports, and enjoying vibrant local events, including music festivals and cultural exhibitions.

Yacht charter rates vary between seasons. Knowing the low and high season rates can be crucial in deciding when to cruise the Adriatic.
