Love Story

The Croatian sailing season runs late April through mid-October. The sweet spots:

• May & early June — warm but uncrowded, marina availability still flexible, prices 20-30% below peak.
• Late June through August — peak. Hot, busy, full marinas, prices at their highest. Book by January.
• September & early October — many brokers' favourite. Sea is at its warmest, evenings cool but pleasant, prices drop again, less crowded.

April and late October can be done but expect cooler swimming and more weather-related route changes.

Over the weeks on offer in the next twelve months, this yacht costs between 80,000 € and 96,050 € per week. That is always the total for the whole week, never a per-day rate; the availability calendar above gives the price of each week. Extras such as the transit log, final cleaning or a skipper are listed with their own prices under Extras, and www.croatia-yachting.com shows every one of them on the quote before you pay.

Yes — most Croatian operators allow one-way charters within Croatia for a repositioning fee that depends on the distance and the operator — we quote it with the yacht. Common one-way pairs:

• Split → Dubrovnik (or reverse) — a classic seven-day passage south through Hvar, Korčula, Mljet, Elaphiti.
• Trogir / Kaštela → Dubrovnik — similar, with the route customisable.
• Pula / Pomer → Split — for a north-to-south week across Kornati.

One-way isn't always available on every yacht — tell us your preferred direction on the inquiry and we filter the fleet to one-way-friendly boats first.

Every booking through www.croatia-yachting.com includes a 72-hour free cancellation window from the moment the booking is placed — change your mind in the first three days and everything you paid is refunded in full, no questions.

After those 72 hours, the cancellation policy shown on the listing and on your offer applies — set by the yacht's operator and stated in writing before you pay. We strongly recommend yacht charter cancellation insurance for high-season weeks.

You can get in touch with the skipper as soon as you've completed your booking.

The skipper is provided by the yacht's charter operator, not by www.croatia-yachting.com. If you add a skipper to a bareboat charter, the skipper's fee is paid in the marina at check-in (on a crewed charter the crew is already included in the price).

A catamaran is the easier first charter: two hulls = greater stability, no significant heel, more interior + deck space per metre, twin engines for confident manoeuvring. Sleeps the same number of people in genuine privacy. Costs ~2× the sailing yacht equivalent.

A sailing yacht (mono-hull) is the "real sailing" experience: faster on the wind, more responsive helm, lower price per metre. Some heel under sail, less internal space, narrower berths. Best for groups with at least one experienced sailor or a clear preference for proper sailing.

Rule of thumb at www.croatia-yachting.com: catamaran for families with kids or comfort-first weeks; sailing yacht for couples or sailors who want the wind.
