It also provides tips for budgeting your trip , ensuring you are fully informed and prepared for your charter.

TIP: Chartering during the high season (July and August) is more expensive than in the low season when you can find great deals . Booking in advance or looking for last-minute deals can also affect prices.

Selecting the Right Crewed Yacht for Your Croatian Charter Vacation

There are quite a few factors to consider when looking for the right Crewed Yacht for your Croatian Yacht Charter Vacations. First and foremost, you have to consider your budget -Sailing yachts and catamarans tend to be significantly cheaper than motor yachts, especially when it comes to fuel consumption which plays a big role on a one-week Croatia yacht charter.

But you also have to pick the right yacht for your needs AND your itinerary; here, things like cruising speed, amenities, cabin layouts, and water toys matter.

Let’s take a closer look at the different yacht types and their advantages or…

Croatia Motor Yacht Charters

For those opting for ultimate luxury and speed , we always recommend chartering a Motor Yacht in Croatia. The Dalmatian Coast is home to Croatia’s largest marina, accommodating large motor yachts and superyachts with ease. Docking at Dalmacija Marina, among many of Croatia’s finest Yachts, is a remarkable experience in itself.

The Croatia Motor Yacht Charters in our catalogs are typically locally owned  and often captained by the owner himself or the owner’s son. This is a huge benefit, guaranteeing a top charter experience based on extensive experience and local knowledge .

Top 10 Hottest Croatia Superyacht Charters 2024/205

Croatia catamaran charters.

There are several reasons for catamarans’ growing popularity in Croatia, one of which is their benefits in comfortable cruising. Catamarans are stable and graceful on the water and we therefore often recommend them for people who suffer from seasickness .

Their efficient design makes them noticeably faster than most sailing monohulls, and their shallow draft is a significant advantage, allowing for navigating in shallow waters and the option to anchor much closer to the beach.

A Catamaran Croatia also has the advantage of having roomy living quarters making them ideal for corporate team-building events, family charters, or a summer vacation with a group of friends.

Top 10 Croatia Catamaran Charters for Summer 2024/2025

Croatia sailing yacht charters.

If you wish to sail Croatia, you might consider a sailing yacht. Today, modern sailing yachts offer similar amenities to a motor yacht – except for the speed, which is lower, but so is the price! And, of course, it relies more on the wind, which can be both an advantage and a limitation. While motor sailors can achieve an average cruising speed of 15-20 knots , wind-powered sailboats usually cruise at 8-12 knots when the sailing conditions are good.

Croatia has  small tides throughout the season—1-2 feet depending on the region, so the deeper draft of a sailing yacht is not an issue.

Based on our experience, large groups or families with kids often prefer the soundless and relaxing sailing experience  in the Dalmatian islands.

Croatia Luxury Yacht Charters

When we talk about luxury yachts here, we refer to larger motor yachts or superyachts with high-end amenities and large crews, often with specialized staff such as fitness instructors, massage therapists, and more.

Think Jacuzzi , Spa rooms, Saunas, onboard Gyms and Cinema rooms, large selections of water toys with one or multiple jet skis , fully stocked bars and dancefloors, and we could go on.

Still, the price range within the luxury yacht Croatia category is quite wide, starting around €50,000 per week and reaching into the millions for a high-end mega yacht.

Croatia Large Group Charters (12-71 Guests)

If you’re looking for a yacht charter that can accommodate a large group ( more than 12 guests ), Croatia is the place for you!!

Croatia’s favorable legislation, which allows for larger groups on charters (more than 12 guests), is a rarity within the EU !! -i.e., Greece has a limit of 12 people per charter for all non-cruise ships. And this is the norm.

When it comes to large group yacht charters in Croatia, the options are plentiful. Most charters can accommodate between 12-20 people , but it’s not difficult to find a charter for 30 people, and there are even options for more. For instance, yachts like VARIETY VOYAGER can accommodate a whole 71 guests!

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!

“We are extremely satisfied with the cooperation with your company so far. From fast - but above all precise, targeted and extensive answers to all our inquiries to the excellent service that our guests received after boarding your boat!”

“It has been an absolute pleasure doing business with you personally and Barbara Cruising as a company. Particularly our charter with the Cahill’s has been demanding at times but it has been a huge success, thank to you and your team. They could not have been happier.”

“Amazing ship and crew. The itinerary is awesome, great food, beautiful scenery and you feel as staying at home. Both Barbara and Casablanca are an experience that nobody should miss. Our groups comeback always very happy and well surprised with all the attentions that they received on board. Probably one of the best sea voyages in Europe!! ”

“We cruised with Barbara Cruising aboard the Casablanca in August 2022. The Casablanca is the most wonderful motor yacht, built in the classical style. The Captain and crew were charming and efficient; nothing was too much trouble to make our cruise utterly memorable. Comfort and cleanliness were immaculate and the organisation of our trip impeccable. ”

“We chartered Casablanca on behalf of a client celebrating his 80th birthday so that there were a wide mix of ages on board and an equally diverse level of demands and tastes. The Captain and crew of Casablanca did not disappoint and the client was delighted with the efforts made to satisfy all the guests and to make a memorable birthday charter. I would not hesitate to recommend both the yacht and Barbara cruising and really appreciate the smoothness and professionalism with which they handled this trip. ”

“Wow, what an amazing trip we had. We were 33 good friends wanting to go on a holiday together and we spent a week on Barbara along the Croatian coast. It was simply amazing! We loved every second of it. Then we sailed for a while before we stopped for swimming. After spending some time in a bay it was time for a 3-course lunch. ”

“The boat was beautiful, the food was supergood, the staff were friendly and very serviceminded. We would love to do it again some time. ”

“We boarded Barbara for the second time in the summer of 2018. The feeling we had was like going back to visit your old fiends. The crew cannot be nicer and more accommodating, the boat clean and well kept and the ports of call more beautiful and inviting.”

“It was a group of 20 of us from Europe, Canada and the USA. We had vegan, vegetarians and gluten free friends on Barbara. They were all happy with their meals. We are looking forward for another wonderful trip in the near future!”

“We are a group of Romanians traveling since 11 years with Barbara Cruising every summer. Casablanca is one of the best experience we ever had. The ship is well structured, beautifull design and cozy spacious rooms. The owners, Trgo family are the best organizers and we felt during our cruise like family. The staff is the very nice. The food delicious. I can only recomad crusing in style with Casablanca and I can’t wait for our summerholiday.”

“In July 2017 we chartered the Casablanca for family and friends to celebrate the marriage of our daughter.bAnte the Captain, and his crew made the trip for us and our guests memorable. They accommodated us with all our requests and went over and above to ensure that the week on the boat would be one we would never forget. ”

“Our family has undertaken numerous sailing trips on other boats and we can honestly say that the Casablanca is the best boat we have sailed in the Adriatic. The accommodations are extremely comfortable and they provide those little extras like massages which most other sail boats don't offer. When you board the boat, you become part of the "Casablanca family". We visit Croatia every year and in 2018 while we were sailing a private yacht, we docked in a beautiful bay alongside the Casablanca.”

“When we saw Ante, we waved and the next thing we knew he was swimming towards us with a bottle of wine to say hello. That's the type of friendship you establish with the Casablanca crew. They are wonderful people and I can highly recommend this boat. You will want to keep going back and sailing with them. ”

“En agosto del 2017 estuvimos en el barco Casablanca con nuestros hijos.En total 40 personas. Fue un viaje fantástico. Todo perfecto. Los camarotes fantásticos. La comida buenísima. Y la tripulación encantadora. Estamos deseando volver con ellos. Viaje inolvidable”

“This year will be my 3rd consultive year cruising with Barbra cruising. The captain and his crew are friendly and go out of their way to ensure each guest has an relaxed and enjoyable holiday. All the crew go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable, so learning how you like your cuppaccino to what wine you like to have with lunch.”

“All of our family and friends who travelled on Casablanca with us last week should now be home having enjoyed a wonderful holiday on Casablanca during the cruise from Trogir to Dubrovnik. I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks again to your husband and all the onboard team who made the trip one of the great memories which our family and friends will remember forever.”

“Die CASABLANCA war das ideale Schiff für diese Reisegruppe, und ich habe überall Begeisterung erfahren. Kapitän und Mannschaft haben eine hervorragende Arbeit geleistet, und die Reiseleiterin Ines war in jeder Hinsicht ein Volltreffer. Ich kann sie nur wärmstens, speziell auch für anspruchsvolle Reisegruppen, empfehlen. Sie war nicht nur ihr Geld wert, sondern wir haben sie auch alle lieb gewonnen auf der Reise. Auch Sie selbst und Ihre Organisation werde ich bei ähnlichen Anlässen weiter empfehlen. ”

The island of Korčula a paradise for hedonists

During cruising, you can relax on the flybridge with a good book, a cocktail or just soak up the Adriatic panorama. The sun crossing over the sea is always a beautiful thing to watch – the gentle quivering of the water reflecting the sun’s rays into a million little tinsels.

From untouched nature and pristine waters to friendly people, who will welcome you with authentic delicacies and local advice about interesting off-the-road places to visit. Start with the Istrian peninsula and stop by Brijuni National Park, with its own exotic Zoo.

Set sail for Mljet, a stunningly beautiful island or National Park Kornati, an archipelago of islands and islets, rich in wildlife and underwater activity which are perfect for snorkelling. During superyacht cruises in Croatia, the captain of the yacht also acts as a guide, going only where you want to go, and doing so in a safe and secure manner.

Adventure Cruises in Croatia

Croatia's coastline is scattered with idyllic islands to explore from a luxury cruise. Historical sites and towns along with Mediterranean weather, make for a perfect trip.

For travelers in the know, the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia has become a popular alternative to the pricier and more crowded Mediterranean Coast, and a Croatian cruise aboard a small luxury yacht is one of the best ways to explore the beautiful and exciting region. To sail Croatia is to cruise from one UNESCO World Heritage site to another, stopping along the way to swim at secluded beaches, explore uninhabited islands and wander streets lined with charming cafés and Venetian architecture.

Deluxe cruises of the Croatian coastline will make clear why the region has become the newest European tourism hot spot. Croatia sailing cruises include city tours of UNESCO World Heritage sites, visits to tiny island fishing villages, and plenty of time spent relaxing on the beach and swimming in crystalline waters. Most Adriatic cruises will feature some or all of the highlights listed below.

On January 1, 2023, Croatia became part of the Schengen visa-free travel area. This means that border and customs checks were abolished at the borders between Croatia and other Schengen member states for people crossing the borders by road, rail, or water. From March 26, 2023, there will be no airport border checks when flying into Croatia from other Schengen member states - this includes most European Union countries. Also, Croatia has officially adopted the Euro as its currency, replacing the Croatian Kuna.

Best Croatia cruises and areas to visit

Split , a common departure point for island-hopping cruises of the Dalmatian Coast, hides a wealth of artistic and historical treasures within its walls. A UNESCO World Heritage site and working port city, Split blends the ancient and modern, making it one of Europe's most fascinating and atmospheric cities. Dripping with Roman relics, Split’s claim to fame is Diocletian’s Palace. Though dating back to the year 305, this is no musty museum. The Palace is a living part of the city, with laundry hanging from balconies and music drifting out from bustling restaurants.

The Makarska Coast , known as the “Makarska Riviera,” is Croatia’s most popular mainland resort. Featuring excellent beaches and a spectacular mountain backdrop, Makarska also offers some of the region’s best wines. Wandering the town of Makarska offers the opportunity to visit numerous churches, cathedrals, and two ancient monasteries. Visitors seeking adventure activities can head to nearby Cetina for whitewater rafting and ziplining.

Korčula Island , covered in thick forest and stippled with mountains, is the location of Korčula Town, known as the birthplace of Marco Polo and one of the prettiest towns in the region. The walled town has terracotta roofs that seem to burn in the sun, contrasting with the surrounding Adriatic's blue. Sun worshipers will find a series of small beaches east of town, while culture buffs can remain within the town walls to visit its many churches, art shops, and the Marco Polo House.

Mljet Island is a nature lover's paradise. Covered in dense woods and punctuated with limestone mountains, a third of Mljet’s surface consists of the Mljet National Park. Visitors can hike, cycle through the park, or take a boat ride on one of its two saltwater lakes. The island is also rich with wildlife, including wild boar, hare, and deer, while the grouper and the protected monk seal are underwater. Mljet’s coast is dotted with beautiful beaches, including Saplunara, which is at its southeastern tip and is considered one of the best beaches in the region.

Hvar Island is a favorite holiday getaway for Croatians, and it’s not difficult to see why. In addition to sparkling coves and sweet-smelling lavender fields, Hvar Island features Hvar Town, the perfect spot to wander the Old Town, admire Venetian architecture and hike to the hilltop Fortica to enjoy the views. After a gourmet meal at one of the town’s restaurants, set out to explore the pristine beaches of the nearby Pakleni Islands before heading back at sundown to enjoy dancing and cocktails at an after-hours beach bar.

Stari Grad , on Hvar Island, lies at the end of a long bay, serving as a quieter, more leisurely alternative to Hvar Town. Founded by the Greeks in 384 BC, Stari Grad is the oldest town in the region; in fact, its name means “Old Town.” Outside this stately and charming town lie fields still divided by the ancient Greek method of parceling.

Vis was off-limits to tourism until 1989 due to its status as a military installation. Now, visitors can enjoy this largely untouched island, with its superb beaches and an impressive inland mountain chain. The town of Vis features Venetian-Gothic architecture and the white-walled Our Lady of Spilica. The island is also home to the remains of Issa, an ancient Greek settlement and the oldest urban center in Croatia.

Bol is a small town on the island of Brač. Though a simple fishing village, it has become a popular tourist stop due to its proximity to Zlatni Rat, one of the most iconic beaches in the Adriatic. Like a blade plunging into the sea, this golden sand beach changes shape with the tide. In addition to swimming, the waters and conditions here are perfect for windsurfing.

Dubrovnik typically serves as the starting or end point of Dalmatian Coast cruises, but it is worth spending an extra day or two to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site. Dubrovnik is known both for its massive Old City Walls and as a stand-in for King’s Landing, the fictional city on the Game of Thrones television series. City tours will take visitors along the walls or to Game of Thrones-related sites. Visitors seeking a spot to enjoy a coffee or glass of local wine can head to the pedestrianized Stradun or ride the city cable car for majestic views of the city and surrounding sea.

Best time to sail to Croatia

Croatia’s Dalmatian coast has a well-defined peak season and off-season. In Croatia, June to August is the peak season when the sun is bright, but crowds are bigger, and prices are generally higher. Croatia in October to April is the off-season, when many shops, restaurants, and hotels are closed, and options for island hopping are limited.

The best time to visit Croatia’s coast and islands is in May and September, when prices are sometimes lower, crowds are thinner, and facilities are open.

How to get to Croatia

Croatia’s coast is serviced by three international airports: Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik. All three airports can be reached by direct flight from over a dozen European countries. Flights arriving from outside Europe will need to connect to Zagreb or another European airport before continuing to the coast.

Where do Croatia cruises depart from?

Sailing cruises of the Dalmatian coast typically depart from Split or Dubrovnik. If your cruise leaves from Split, you will fly into the Split International Airport, while Dubrovnik is serviced by its international airport.

Croatia Cruise Tips

• Plan ahead. Croatia has a definite peak season and off-season, which may affect the availability of deluxe Adriatic cruises. Luxury cruises during the peak season should be booked far in advance. During the off-season, certain cruise options may not be available.
• Choose the right trip for you. If you’re looking for adventure activities, make sure Mljet Island and a trip to Cetina, near Makarska, are included on your itinerary. Art lovers will want to spend a little extra time in Split, while those hoping to party until the sun comes need to ensure a stop on Hvar Island.
• Arriving a day or two before your Croatia small ship cruise is recommended to avoid unforeseen delays.
• The Dalmatian Coast can be hot and bright in the summer, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good hat are musts.
• Croatia's local currency is the Kuna. ATMs are easy to find, and larger hotels, restaurants, and shops accept credit cards, while small shops and accommodations accept only cash.
• Citizens of the European Union can enter Croatia using their ID cards, while all other visitors will need a passport valid for three months past the date of departure. Visas are generally not required for most visitors staying for ninety days or less, though travelers from China, India, South Africa, Russia, and Turkey will need a visa.

Croatia Small Ship Cruise FAQ: Your Guide to the Dalmatian Coast

What are the best ports to visit in croatia.

The Dalmatian Coast boasts several enchanting ports, each with its unique charm. Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic," captivates with its medieval walls and historic Old Town. Split, a vibrant city, is home to the majestic Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Zadar entices with its Roman ruins and modern art installations like the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun. Šibenik, a picturesque town, is known for its stunning St. James Cathedral and proximity to the breathtaking Krka National Park.

What is the best way to experience these destinations?

Small-ship cruising provides a more intimate and immersive experience compared to larger cruises. Smaller vessels can access secluded coves, hidden harbors, and charming villages that larger ships simply can't reach. You'll have more time to explore ashore, connect with the local culture, and savor the authentic flavors of Dalmatian cuisine.

What are the must-see attractions in each port?

• Dubrovnik: Walk the ancient city walls, explore the Rector's Palace and Franciscan Monastery, stroll down the lively Stradun street, and savor the views from Mount Srđ.
• Split: Wander through the labyrinthine alleys of Diocletian's Palace, relax on the Riva promenade, and hike to the top of Marjan Hill for panoramic vistas.
• Zadar: Listen to the mesmerizing melodies of the Sea Organ, watch the light show at Greeting to the Sun, and delve into history at the Roman Forum.
• Šibenik: Marvel at the architectural wonder of St. James Cathedral, and take a day trip to Krka National Park to admire its cascading waterfalls and lush landscapes.

How can I experience the local culture and cuisine?

Small-ship cruises offer unique shore excursions that allow you to interact with locals, learn about their traditions, and sample authentic Dalmatian cuisine. You might visit a local family-run winery, participate in a cooking class, or explore a traditional village. Be sure to try fresh seafood dishes, "peka" (a slow-cooked meat or fish specialty), black risotto, and local wines like Plavac Mali and Pošip.

What are the benefits of small-ship cruising in Croatia?

Small-ship cruising offers numerous advantages over larger cruises. You'll enjoy a more personalized experience with fewer fellow passengers, allowing you to form deeper connections with the crew and other travelers. Smaller ships can access more remote and less crowded destinations, providing a sense of exclusivity and adventure. The pace is often more relaxed, giving you ample time to explore each port in-depth and truly immerse yourself in the local culture.

4 Croatia Yacht Cruise Charters You Should Know About

Jul 12, 2021 | 0

4 Croatia Yacht Cruise Charters — Expert Reviews

By John Roberts & Heidi Sarna

If you haven’t been to Croatia, you don’t know what you’re missing.  Yacht cruises along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia are one of our favorite small-ship cruise experiences, and for good reason.

Croatia’s rocky coastline stretches for more than 1,000 miles along the eastern edges of the Adriatic Sea, from just south of Italy’s Trieste to Montenegro. Countless craggy limestone islands are scattered along the jagged coast, creating one of world’s most scenic places to cruise — right up there with Norway’s fjords, Alaska’s glaciers, and the Greek Isles.

Speaking of Greece, small-ship sailing among its gorgeous isles, coasts and harbors has long been coveted.

That said, the difference between yachting around the Greek Isles vs Croatia is that Croatia offers an experience that features all the beauty and even better affordability — with generally calmer seas.

The island groups dotting the pleasant waters of the Adriatic Sea along the Dalmatian Coast are clustered relatively close together so that you can easily visit numerous ports during one voyage — with each spot offering distinct charms and history.

Croatia Yacht Cruise Charters

In the COVID-19 era (and post COVID era), private Croatia yacht cruise charters along the coast and among the islands of Croatia are small-ship cruise experiences that make sense.

The intimate sailings offer a more controlled and thus relatively safe environment as you spend your days among a small group of friends or family enjoying days filled with sunshine, swimming and exploring ports, many quite remote. Among the various visitors to Croatia, many come from North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

With breathtaking views from your yacht’s top deck, a voyage along the Dalmatian Coast is a fantastic way to soak up the natural beauty and rich history of the country.

Croatia’s Deep History

The Romans established the province of Dalmatia, the precursor to Croatia, along the Adriatic Sea more than 2,000 years ago. Dalmatia thrived from about 11 BC to the fifth century AD.

Over the centuries, powerful empires, from the Greeks to the Romans, Slavs, Venetians, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians, would leave their mark on what would become the Croatia we see today.

We’re lucky that many spectacular and well-preserved relics remain, from fourth-century palaces to medieval fortresses, cathedrals and classic turreted city walls. The most spectacular — Dubrovnik’s City Walls, Diocletian’s Palace in Split and Hvar’s Old Town — are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

You’ll also find memorials and dedications to the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 to 1995, during which the country was entrenched in a civil war with Serbian forces while striving to secede from the former Yugoslavia. When you visit the gorgeous towns and villages along the coast today, it’s mind-boggling to consider that not too long ago this was a war-torn region.

Activities in Croatia

Daily excursions include swimming and watersports right off the side of your yacht. And on shore, you can stroll, hike, kayak and bicycle. Eating counts as pastime too.

For the history buffs among us, there are no shortage of ancient sites to visit. Explore on your own, or sign up for a guided excursion; depending on your package, guided excursions may or may not be included in the fares.

Croatia Cuisine

All along the Dalmatian coast are regions known for wine and olive oil. Seafood is also especially good here, too, from oysters to squid, octopus, mussels and fish, the later served grilled or in a traditional stew.

Croatian cuisine is based on heritage rooted in Central Europe, Italy and Turkey. These influences meld to give you Croatian favorites like cabbage leaves filled with minced meat, cevapcici rolls and dumplings.

Beaches in Croatia

Croatia boasts crystal-clear waters along its coast. Beaches are popular spots for tourists and residents, alike, although the country’s beaches are rocky and not the silky sands you associate with the Caribbean or South of France. They’re excellent places for people watching.

Still, Croatia’s beach regions offer the chance to play in the water, explore adjacent caves, paddle in idyllic coves or converge at nighttime for boisterous summer parties and festivals in places like Pag, Hvar and Split.

The Croatia Yacht Cruises Vibe

Life is lived up on deck and outside in the fresh air and sea. You’ll barely need to pack more more than your bathing suit!

Standard yachting voyages use small ships with modest accommodations that carry between six and 40 people on itineraries between the larger cities of Dubrovnik and Split or Hvar.

Trips typically last from two days to a week. You can find countless yachting outfits in Croatia that offer the tiny ships that dart around the islands and coastal ports to provide an intimate experience, including the four we feature in this article — Goolets, Sail Croatia, Katarina Line and Kompas Cruises.

Many of the yachts used are “gulets,” a Turkish term derived from the French word “goélette” and the Italian “goletta.”

These traditional-style 2- and 3-masted yachts are based on vessels that were once used as trading and fishing boats. Much like the “canal barge” cruises of France, the “gulet” yachts of Croatia, Greece and Turkey have been transformed into luxury conveyances for holidays, though their size and level of luxury varies as do their fares. Some quite posh, others very humble.

Private Croatia yacht cruise charters are highly curated, with the captain and crew able to design a flexible itinerary based on what you and your group would like to experience. Fill your days with hiking, biking, swimming in pristine bays, exploring historic sites or just relaxing over beers and regional cuisine at charming seaside towns or marinas.

You’re probably after a nice mix of all of these, huh?

While you can find plenty of high-end luxury yacht cruises in Croatia, as well as a number of departures available on larger vessels from Star Clippers and Ponant (other small-ship lines we cover on QuirkyCruise.com) that carry 170 to 184 passengers, this Croatia yacht cruise charters roundup will show you four awesome options for a fantastic voyage that won’t break the bank.

The following 4 Croatia yacht cruise companies are ideal for private charters for friend and family groups:

Katarina line.

This family-owned line has operating for some 30 years offers a broad range of cruising styles and lengths on more than 60 small ships that are chartered from Croatian captains who provide a special personal touch to your yachting experience. They can also help with hotel bookings and other tourist services for a stay in Croatia.

Katarina Line offers Deluxe, Premium or Standard cruises roundtrip or one way traveling among the ports of Split, Dubrovnik and Opatija, as well as special Active cruises and Land and Cruise combos.

Ships sail for about four hours each day, overnighting in ports and sailing just after breakfast each day.

The scenic sailing takes you to intimate bays and swimming areas, where you anchor for a bit of swim time and water sports before lunch onboard. Then, you continue on to the next port stop for your exploration ashore, dinner on your own with your fellow travelers and an overnight on the ship.

The schedule is fairly flexible, but this represents the basic outline that can be adjusted based on weather conditions and desires of the group — maybe you want more time swimming or seek to get to the port earlier to try an organized tour that explores popular points of interest.

Katarina Line offers a range of excursions that are added on for a fee. You can tour Plitvice Lakes or go sea kayaking around Dubrovnik, for example.

Most of the sailing options fall under the Deluxe and Premium cruise category , and almost all of these ships offer accommodations with private bathrooms and air conditioning.

The Standard cruise category attracts budget travelers, often younger folks and backpackers, generally, ages 18 to 35.

Katarina Line’s newer Deluxe and Premium ships see passengers typically in the 40 to 60-ish age range. Travelers represent a fairly international mix, though with mostly English-speaking couples from the U.S., U.K., Europe and Australia.

All of the cruises include breakfast and lunch in your cruise fare.

The Ships of the Katarina Fleet

Katarina Line operates a fleet of more than 60 vessels — a combination of deluxe and standard yachts and small gulets — that carry from five to 38 passengers . Fares are partially inclusive, with some meals, one bottle of water per day and one drink with lunch onboard, some transfers to and from the airport or your hotel, plus tastings and guided tours (as indicated in your itinerary).

An English-speaking tour guide sails along to manage the schedule. The ships offer free WiFi.

The Deluxe or Premium ships might have hot tubs and loungers on the sun deck.

Katarina Itineraries

Cruises range from two to seven days in length and visit destinations such as Korcula, Metkovic, Sibenik, Zadar, Rab, Vis and Hvar, departing from the main embarkation ports of Dubrovnik, Split and Opatija.

HASSLE-FREE

Completely customizable, expert crew, trusted by many, unbeatable support, things to know.

After confirming the availability of your chosen yacht and your booking coming through, you will receive a MYBA charter agreement. MYBA is the Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association and sets the standards for everyone in the industry to adhere to. With it, we can guarantee you the impeccable service you seek. The agreement will also include any additional charges and taxes that may apply to your choice of itinerary.

APA is Advanced Provisioning Allowance. Paid in advance, it covers any additional expenses you rack up during your charter week. It includes fuel, marina fees, on-yacht meals, water toy usage, services, etc. Per the MYBA agreement, it’s usually in the range of 30-40% of the full price. If by the end of your cruise, you haven’t spent the entire amount, you’ll receive the remainder of it back. If your expenses exceed the upfront paid amount, you’ll have to cover them before disembarking.

From the moment you reach out to us, we work closely with you to determine your wishes and preferences and plan your itinerary accordingly. You’ll have to adhere to your yacht’s possible limitations and heed any captain’s advice. Yacht cruises are subject to weather conditions, marina availability, etc. But we always do everything in our power to reach your utmost satisfaction.

Booking yacht charters right before or already in the season is virtually impossible. Therefore, we suggest you aim to book the preferred vessel at least 6 months in advance to avoid the risk of losing out on it or the preferred dates.

Croatia, with its Mediterranean climate, offers a broad window into when you can visit it on a yacht charter. If you prefer milder temperatures and lesser crowds, we suggest visiting in spring or fall. Even though the summer season sees the most traffic, you can enjoy a cruise outside it just as much, if not more.

Gratuities are not subject to any written agreement, but they are customary. Depending on your satisfaction with the crew and service, you can pay between 10% and 15% to the captain, who will divide it among the entire staff.

In January 2023, Croatia switched from Kuna to Euro. For payments onboard, you should carry some cash with you. As for the other transactions in the country, you can count on most places having an option for card payment. If not, you won’t have much trouble finding ATMs around, either.

The crew understands and can communicate with you in English. Some members are even multilingual, speaking languages like Spanish, Italian, German, etc. If you have any preferences, you may let us know, and we will find the best solution for you.

If you are unable to find a yacht that meets your requirements on our website, rest assured we are here to assist you. Our team of experts is dedicated to continuously updating our database with the finest and most current options available. Nevertheless, if you still can’t discover the perfect yacht that aligns with your preferences, please feel free to reach out to us. Let us know your preferences, and we will go above and beyond to find an alternative option that caters to your needs and offers you an exceptional cruising experience.

Overnight anchoring in serene natural bays is certainly an option, but there are a few factors to consider. Primarily, it is crucial to take weather conditions into account and heed the advice of your skilled captain for safety purposes. Additionally, locating secluded bays might prove challenging during peak season, and maintaining tranquility after midnight is expected. If planning a large celebration, it is advisable to inform the captain beforehand to preempt any potential complications. Anchoring in bays offers a delightful opportunity for morning swims and delightful dinners beneath the stars, yet it is suggested to converse with your captain and arrange for dinner instead of lunch when opting for a half-board package.
