About Croatia

Yachting along Croatia`s splendid Adriatic coast offers hundreds of pristine islands, crystal-clear sea, impossibly perfect medieval towns, impressive landscapes, sandy and pebble beaches, peaceful coves, and picturesque ports. The 350km/220 mile Dalmatian coastline is an ideal cruising ground - offering more than 1400 islands, many of which are pristine and unspoiled. With hidden coves, ageless white-stone villages, olive groves and vineyards, each island has its own special charm and attractions.

Croatia's historical treasures spring from Illyrian, Roman, Christian, Venetian and Austrian empires, often in pristine condition. And while Croatia is growing in popularity as a tourist destination, it remains one of Europe’s best preserved destinations.

Crewed Charter Itinerary Recommendation - Dubrovnik to Trogir

Durovnik has long been a celebrated seaside city, known worldwide for its beauty and charm. It is a gorgeous walled city that is entered through an ancient and impressive gateway. Through the gateway is an immaculate medieval city, with the narrow, winding alleys, terraced cafés and restaurants, flowered stairways, ancient streets and magnificent churches that are beautifully maintained.

Once you have fully enjoyed the charms of Dubrovnik, there are many great options as you cruise north along the Adriatic coast. The island of Korcula offers a huge city wall and towers that rise almost straight out of the Adriatic Sea. Hvar has amazing ruins and a mountain-top fortress above the city. Trogir, another walled fortress city, is a maze of alleys opening onto quaint and timeless courtyard restaurants. At night the waterfront is alive with market-stalls, street performers and live music.

Croatia is also renowned for its natural beauty which mixes perfectly with the towns to provide you with a relaxing cruise with alternating the peace and beauty of nature with the mediaveal towns along the way. There are numerous picturesque coves, bays, and sandy beaches to visit during your cruise along the coastline - your captain will take you to many of the most beautiful. The Kornati National Park is one popular destination, offering more than a hundred beautiful islands, covered with fields, pines forests and olive groves.

Climate

Croatia has a superb Mediterranean Climate, which means it's generally warm and dry throughout the yachting season. The warmest months are July and August when the air temperature is 77°F/25°C to 95°F/35°C. Summer sea temperature reaches up into the low 80's F/ high 20's C.

The "shoulder" seasons of June and September are delightful, with fewer crowds but still excellent weather and warm waters. Average temperatures in the mid 70's F/ 20's C. After September, you risk winds and turblent weather, so chartering is riskier, although you can still have excellent stretches of weather.

Chartering In Croatia

The Crewed Charter market is growing rapidly in Croatia beause of all the reasons listed above. To charter in Croatia is to experience the Mediterranean as it once was. You can set an itinerary that will give you a bit of everything: serenity, night life, excellent local cuisine, architectural marvels, historical sites.

Charterers have to be aware that you can only charter a Croatian Flag yacht if you are to start your holiday from a Croatian port. For this reason, because the majority of luxury yachts are not under the Croatian Flag, many charters begin in Venice and come south to Dubrovnik, or start in Montenegro and go north. We can consult with you as to the best itinerary and starting port.
