Advice for pleasant charter, part ii.

In our previous article we advised you on what to pay attention to when choosing sailing ground, period and company. When you have made those decisions, it is time to choose a boat, acquire necessary paperwork and, finally, check in.

Advice for pleasant charter, part I

Most people charter in summer. In winter, Adriatic Sea can be quite rough, so unless you are an experienced sailor looking for exciting sailing and solitude of islands in the winter, avoid winter sailing – it’s much easier in summer. In summer there are many other boats around you to help you in case you need it, the sea is calmer and the temperatures are high.

Explore and enjoy Croatia – ideas for charter

Nautical tourism certainly represents one of the most attractive forms of the overall tourism offer of the Republic of Croatia. We can rightfully say that Croatia, the land of a thousand islands and a beautiful, indented coastline, is a "haven for boaters".

How much does a yacht charter in croatia cost.

The price of a Croatian yacht rental depends on several factors.

This comprehensive guide breaks down the factors that affect yacht charter prices, typical price ranges, and the importance of understanding any hidden costs you should be aware of.

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.

How Much Do Yacht Charters Really Cost? A Comprehensive Guide

Market trends 2024: croatia luxury yacht charter is on the rise.

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!

I’ve taken my family on holiday all over the world from tropical Islands to ski resorts and I never knew I could have such a memorable time so close to home. These guys have a real passion for what they do; we saw sites we’d never find on our own in a million years. Honestly, I wouldn’t risk traveling to Croatia with anyone else.

David Casterton, London

I am a hopeless sailor. I always think it is going to just be about getting cold and wet and shouting at to pull a rope. But with Sail Club Croatia all, I was expected to do was sunbathe on deck, eat a huge amount of food, and generally have a fabulous time. it was heaven. I am completely converted.

Clemmie Hambro, Freelance travel writer

Sail Club Croatia was absolutely superb from the moment I started to enquire about the holiday right to the end when they called once we were back to find out how our week was - First Class customer service. The suggested itinerary proved to be fantastic, right down to the various restaurant recommendations on different islands. The boat was immaculate, equipped with everything we could possibly need, and "Skippy" as we called him coped very admirably with 5 non-sailing girls! Croatia is a very special country and is best seen from the water.

Caroline Orr, London

Reality seldom exceeds one's dreams---Yet Sail Club Croatia met all our expectations and more, especially since it was our maiden week sail. As novices to sailing the personal attention prior to the sail, the day of the sail, and having our skipper Ms. Irina customize our daily adventures satisfied our every wish. From a beginner to advance sailor -- Sail Club Croatia’s personal attention to assuring one has a great holiday—one can not go wrong having this organization be your choice in charter companies.

È il secondo anno che noleggio il Salona 44 "Giordano Bruno" e confermo le ottime recensioni. Eccellenti qualità marine anche con mare formato e vento sui 35 nodi....una volta impostata la rotta e regolate bene le vele, mi ha fatto sentire sempre sicuro.

Meneguzzi Nicola, Italy

Basis perfekt gelegen. Nahe Flughafen und trotzdem ruhig. Keine Discos usw. Konsum und Lidl in Marschdistanz. Nette, rasche, professionelle Bootsübernahe und Abgabe. Boot ist gut in Schuss und segelt sehr gut. Platz ist Ausreichend für 7-8 Segler. Das Revier gefällt mir sehr gut. Viele schöne, einsahme Buchten auch in der Hochsaison.

Peter Joller, Switzerland

Sprawne przekazanie łodzi, szybka reakcja na uwagi dotyczące stanu technicznego , sprawne i bezproblemowe zdanie jachtu.

Wojciech Wódka, Poland

I came to Croatia with a crew total of 8, incl. children 4 & 2 YO. The boat was prepared almost perfectly (GPS failure is for me acceptable - there are maps for use), service was great, and we will definitely get back to the same company.

Przemek Kajak Wysota

We had an amazing week on Marco Polo end of June and the beginning of July. So much so that we have decided to complete our Day Skippers qualification so my son does not have to give me orders any longer. ( Just a little joke). We missed you at the Southampton Boat Show - I think we looked everywhere. A late thank you but your operation is inspiring and we have already recommended you to some friends. We look forward to chartering from you in the future. Thank you.

Martin Ruck, UK

Tante isole spettacolari Accoglienza e marina di grande livello. Una barca performante, sicura, spaziosa. In buone condizioni generali. Sia a sud che a nord di Split posti indimenticabili.

Marco La Monica, Italy

Thanks for good organization and contribution. The sailboat was great.

Gyula Bereny & Majsai T.Gyula

From the moment of arrival until the point of departure we felt like VIPs. We very much appreciate all that has been done on our behalf and thank you for the unexpected complimentary transfers to and from the airport. The technical team was also amazing in responding to correcting defects such as installing a temporary GPS and chart plotter as well as replacing the water pump which we found to be unsatisfactory due to very low pressure, as well as replacing the outboard in Rogoznica. As always, we had a fantastic time. Lots of sun this time and a little less wind. Our crew friends from the first week were very impressed with the arrangements and it is probable you may see them and their families as clients in due course. Once again, thank you to all the team at Sail Club Croatia who makes it all run so smoothly. A perfect way to spend our wedding anniversary.

Jonathan Millward, United Kingdom

Great team. We entered into our position, as the decision to rent was made right before the charter. Thank you very much for the work that has been done far in excess of one week.

Vladimir Skroba, Russia

 Ha sido una experiencia excelente por donde se quiera ver. En cuanto al velero, excelente, completisimo, en excelente estado, con ropa blanca nueva, elementos de cocina nuevos y completísimos, heladera con congelador, wifi todo el tiempo q navegamos, velas en muy buen estado, motor 10 puntos y el baño andaba perfecto. 

Hemos tenido un excelente servicio de la empresa local, inmejorables por profesionalismo, comprensión, acompañamiento, y nivel de detalle. En definitiva la experiencia ha superado nuestras espectativas. Navegar en Croacia partiendo de Split es muy lindo, el agua, los paisajes el clima y las diferentes islas con sus puertos. La marina está distante del centro de Split pero hay colectivo urbano y taxis disponibles. Hay un supermercado chico en la misma marina y otro más grande a 6 cuadras. Los vestuarios y baños muy buenos abiertos 24hs, en la marina hay bares, restaurante y estacionamiento para vehículos.

Estamos muy agradecidos por el excelente servicio, el velero y las instalaciones.

Da gusto navegar con gente que lo da todo para que tu experiencia en el Caribe croata sea Inolvidable.Desde agilizar el check in , el servicio 24 horas ante cualquier duda y una atención de 10 los hace totalmente recomendables.

Anima Maris-Captain + Crew

You have created a lasting, treasured experience and memory for our family. Each person has memories that are their favorite and no person had a single bad moment. It was the crew who made that possible. Swimming, skiing, dancing – the crew kept the kids and young adults busy and worn out. Perfect for Bunny and me.

Thank you so much, Henry

“We absolutely loved the trip!  The crew, partly manned by two brothers in the lead, was incredibly accommodating. The food was excellent. Highly capable in every way and knowledgeable of the region. The boat is immaculate, well equipped, luxurious and we would highly recommend to our friends. We especially miss Ivan as he kept us entertained too. Croatia is a delight. I will send separate pictures. ”

The Ruddy family left its mark in Croatia! We came, we spend, we left.

Thank you to George to the great meals. Ivan for the excellent company. Dom for the expert driving and Ilija for driving the dinghy and the hand warm to make sure out trip was perfect. We love you guys, see you soon Morning Star!!!

Heartfelt thanks to you all,

Dalmatino – 30.05.-06.06.2022

There isn’t a better way to visit Croatia and experience each of the islands than traveling on Dalmatino. The boat was stunning. The boat crew had the best service I have ever experienced. This trip will be very hard to top. We were directed to the best experiences on each island, food was absolutely delicious and beautiful at the same time. I would highly recommend this yacht and staff to anyone who has the opportunity to travel to Croatia!

I would give a six star as a vacation spot and a 100% satisfying rate. The staff was so helpful and so so nice. Food was over the top in presentation, variety and was delicious. The Captain chose just a perfect route through the islands, the right amount of village time as play time. I would do this trip every year on Dalmatino!

Allure – summer 2022

This holiday has been one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. A very caring crew, all with kind hearts. Giving us the best hospitality ever. I’m blessed to have been on this boat where we felt safe + always full. Thank you so much allure! You the best. B

Rara Avis – July 2022

Trip of a lifetime! The boat is gorgeous, the food was amazing, the scenery & water were incredible and the staff-crew….what can I say?! You were friendly, fun, and took the many challenges of our group in stride (covid+,stomach viruses, etc.!) with a smile and a willingness to do what we needed to have an amzing week. (I mean…how many groups requested 5 full dinnera and 5 bowls of plain white rice? 😛 ) It was such a special week for us to spend with our adult children & our friends and it was made even better by the wonderful & attentive service we recived at every turn. I’m not sure we’ll manage to get the whole family over here again, but Jim & I are sure going to try! Thank you again for everything-you all work very hard and it shows and is very much appreciated! XXOO

Until next time….

Rara Avis – 20.08.2022.

From the moment I stepped on this boat I was greated with smiles & genuine care. I have never had an experience such as this where I was treated like I was special. Each and every one of you made this week memorable and I will never forget it. Matea made sure our thunderstorm of a room was always inviting and shared her last hairtie with me so I could enjoy the water. Keke made sure I always had milk with dessert before even asking and kept us all in a good mood. To the chef who gave us a personal tour of the bars so we could experience the true culture. Rocco despite us leasing hi min the beginning made sure to act professional as always. Stipe on our day to the market gave us the submarine tunnel. Last but not leats, the Captain who ensure no matter the weather there was always a plan for fun in place. Overall, I wish I couls stay with you forever and I have never had such a wonderful time. Sincerly and truly, thank you from the botton of my heart. There i san open door for any of you at my home in Los Angeles. I hope to see you again one day. SS

Allure – 17-24 2022

I have no words to explain the marvelous adventure we have sailed with Captain Tom. It has been the upmost pleasure to embark in this journey around the Adriatic Sea with such a wonderful crew. Ivana is super attentive and dedicated to fulfilling the needs of all my fellow travelers who have stepped aboard Captain Tom’s deck. The sights seen could never be converged in the slightest. The sea was magical. The food was amazing. Everyday was a delight to my mouth. We cannot wait to come back next year. Thank you to the entire crew.

Altair – 08.2022

Carefree and a wonderful cruise down the Adriatic Mastercharter was the best Croatian travel agency I have dealt with in the last ten years. Ivana, Mirna and Mate are devout professionals who will tender to your every need. Ask a question and you will get an answer momentarily, if one of them is busy one of the others will respond. No detail is overlooked and everything is done to your satisfaction. They stay true to their motto which says “Everything is possible for one who believes”.

I wanted to charter a gulet for a family cruise and for my particular needs they suggested the Altair which turned out to be the perfect choice. The name Altair is derived from the bright star, aka Alpha Aquilae, which shines as the brightest star in the constellation Aquila the Eagle. It describes this gullet perfectly; it is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The crew is a family run affair; Captain Dare is a capable sailor and a wonderful host. His Dad Duje is a fantastic cook and a Captain in his own right and Dare’s sister Luce (Lucy) is a wonderful hostess and a do everything gal who will attend to your every need. Also there is Lovro, a very capable sailor who makes sure that the boat is securely tied, he will help you with all the heavy lifting, will provide you with the swimming toys once you are in the water and will watch over you while you swim.

The cruise down the Jadran (Adriatic Sea) was absolutely fantastic. We were in and out of secluded coves for swimming in the crystal clear water during the day and visited famous towns like Hvar, Korčula, Polače, Ston and others in the evening. It was a perfect combination of rest, relaxation and sightseeing.

I would like to take this opportnity to thank the crew once more for making me and my family feel like we were a part of their family and for providing us with a carefree, restfull, exciting and wonderfull experience. Special thanks goes out to my new friend Duje Junior (Dare’s son) who made our trip that much more enjoyable, this is from his new friend Brankec.

Corsario – 25 June 2022

We had the Best time in Corsario, aside from the amaizing places and smooth ride, the crew was so warm, dedicated and helpfull. Stand up padlle, water motor rides, snorkeling, biking and awesome more experiences we lived in this boat. Thank to this boat and the crew we could had an inforgivable family time! I hope we can come back and finish our travesy through Croatia. See you soon!!!

Romanca – 18.06.-25.06.2022

Global Rating: 5/5 (Excellent)

We travel often and far, and we have been around the world and had amazing experiences. But our vacation on the Romanca, chartered via MasterCharter, was truly unrivaled! Airline travel these days can be beyond hectic, and our vacation seemed to get off to the wrong start when the airline lost our luggage. Ivana (Mastercharter) and Andrea (owner of the Romanca) arranged a speedboat to take a passenger to get medication that had gone missing with the bags and PERSONALLY tracked our luggage down and had it hand-delivered to the boat as we were eating breakfast under sail. Additionally, a member of our party had a bicycle accident, and Marin (Romanca’s captain) was on location in minutes with the town’s doctor and sat with us through the process of going to the hospital and getting a few stitches, then offered to buy the injured person an ice cream, (because everyone knows when you get stitches, you get an ice cream). Despite our two mishaps, all 15 of our party fell madly in love with Croatia, the Adriatic, MasterCharter, and most specifically the Romanca and its crew. The Romanca is by far the prettiest wooden gullet on the Adriatic; you cannot help but share the pride of her crew as she sails into port. You can tie her up next to the largest, newest ship in any marina, and know you are the one privileged enough to call the Romanca home. Valentina and Mario knew everyone by name on the first morning and never forgot our food or drink preferences — my latte was being made before I could sit at the Romanca’s massive table. Victor is a world class chef and a true artist who goes out of his way to please everyone. He woke up in the middle of the night to feed the three of us who waited for the doctor to finish his work on our patient, and we got a beautiful steak with rice and salad, totally unexpected and above and beyond. Ivan, the first mate, went out with several of our younger “sailors” (as per our request) when they wanted to go to a club at midnight. He watched over us and protected us like family, even at the sacrifice of his night’s sleep. And Marin navigated us through it all, recommending phenomonal wineries, restaurants, and excursions on the islands. I’m not prone to write reviews, or be loquacious, but for this trip, I must! These people are so special and amazing; they find a magical way of outshining the scenery. That said, Croatia and her islands are not to be missed, their beauty is unparalleled and the experience is unmatched. Do yourself a favor, spend a week on the Romanca… just don’t book the weeks we want, we will be back!

All of your own love of your country, and pride in all that it represents, made it easy to enter into that same love and appreciation far all that you shared with us on this amazing voyage and trip! Luka, your humble, tireless service to all of us was such an inspiration and joy to all of us! Each one of you seemed to work together so well and made for an awesome team!

Anima Maris – June 2023

IT IS HARD IN LIFE TO BE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO EVER BE ABLE TO BE IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO VACATION ON A BOAT SUCH AS ANIMA MARIS. HOWEVER, IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE THAT EXCEEDS ALL OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS.THIS TRIP WAS BEYOND WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. WE HOPED IT WOULD BE THIS WONDERFUL, BUT TO HAVE EACH DAY BE BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE HAS TRULY BEEN A DELIGHT. THE BOAT OF COURSE IS A WORK OF ART,A MIX OF MODERN YET STILL ROMANTIC. THE CABINS ARE SO SPACIOUS AND THE BATHROOMS AS WELL.NOVAK’S COOKING WAS SPECTACULAR AS WELL AS ALEXANDER. ANYTHING WE WANTED DELIVERED WHICH AS WE ALL KNOW IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. SONIA KEPT OUR CABINS AND LAUNDRY IMPECCABLE AND THE REST OF THE CREW WAS WITH US ON DECK TIME WE NEEDED ANYTHING AT ALL. THE LOADED THE WATER TOY INTO THE SEA EVERYDAY SO OUR KIDS COULD RIDE THE SEABOB FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT. THEY WATCHED CAREFULLY AS THEY FLIPPED OFF THE TOP DECK IN TO THE WATER. CAPTAIN MARIO ALWAYS FOUND US THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PICKED THE BEST CREW. THEN WE CAME TO VICTORIA WHO ALL DAY, EVERYDAY MADE SURE WE HAD ANY DRINK OR SNACK WE WANTED. LASTLY IVAN, WITHOUT HIM, SETTING THE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE AND SERVICE, NOTHING WOULD HAVE COME TOGETHER. THANK YOU EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS UNFORGETTABLE.

Alba – 2023_10

Captain Luka was very professional and helpful, his brother Damir and the chef were excellent too. I think the Steward, Ivor was a bit out of his depth as he was really a deck hand that had stood in for a Stewardess from what we learned, and whilst he tried hard, my only recommendation would be that an experienced stewardess would have added polish to the whole drinking and dining experience.

Alba – 2023_11

We are all flying home after a very enjoyable 7 day cruise on Alba. It was everything we had hoped, and the crew was remarkable. We have nothing but kinds things to say, and I would charter from you again. We have friends that want to do the same charter and I will refer to you.

As summer beckons and vacation plans unfold, one destination that consistently graces travelers' must-visit lists is the picturesque Croatia. Blessed with a coastline adorned by islands and sun-kissed beaches, Croatia, guided by the Adriatic Sea, emerges as the ultimate summer hotspot. But with numerous options to choose from, how does one decide?

Exploring and navigating the stunning landscapes of Croatia is best experienced during the enchanting months of May, June, September, and October. These time frames present a combination of benefits, including the full operational capacity of tour operators and hotels, a pleasantly warm climate, and more manageable crowds, especially when contrasted with the peak season.  

From June to September is the High Season  

To make the most of watersports like swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, and sailing in Croatia, plan your visit between June and September . During these months, the weather is consistently warm and sunny, with temperatures ranging from comfortable to hot, peaking in July and August. If you prefer a hotter climate for sunbathing on the deck and swimming from the boat, summer is the ideal time.  

Keep in mind that this period constitutes the peak tourist season . Popular destinations and attractions can be quite crowded, particularly in coastal areas and islands.  

These months are perfect for various water-based activities due to warm sea temperatures and calm conditions . Swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, sailing, and other water sports are popular choices, making it an ideal time for beach enthusiasts.  

Summer in Croatia hosts a multitude of festivals, cultural events, and outdoor concerts, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture, music, and traditions. Nightlife peaks during the summer, especially in destinations like Pag, Hvar, Brač, Dubrovnik, and Split.  

May and October are Shoulder season  

For a budget-friendly experience in Croatia, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons, specifically in early Spring (May and June) or late Autumn (September to November). These times offer a range of affordable activities. However, keep in mind that certain experiences, dining options, and accommodations may be limited.

During the shoulder season, the weather is generally pleasant. In May and September, temperatures are milder , making outdoor activities and sightseeing comfortable. The sea remains warm enough for swimming and water sports, while the weather is conducive to exploring historical sites, hiking in national parks, and enjoying outdoor dining.  

Booking sailing boats during the shoulder seasons is often easier compared to the summer months, with a broader range of options and potentially more reasonable prices .   

The shoulder seasons offer an excellent opportunity to explore Croatia's islands in a more family-friendly environment , characterized by fewer crowds and a relaxed atmosphere. Some events and festivals take place during these seasons, offering a unique glimpse into Croatian life, and showcasing local culture, music, and traditions.  

Winter is the Low season  

Exploring Croatia during the low season, from November to April , provides a unique opportunity for a more nature-focused experience.   

During this time, many establishments close, leading to limited choices for boat charters, attractions, and activities. On the other hand, it is perfect for early booking activities and the flexibility to choose dates before the peak season rush.  

Historic towns take on a cosy ambience, and cultural sites become more accessible without the usual crowds. While the Adriatic Sea may be too chilly for swimming, it provides a serene backdrop.

The Adriatic Sea , the n orthernmost part of the Mediterranean, spans from the Strait of Otranto to the Veneto region in Italy, boasting over 1,300 islands along the Croatian coast .   

Tides in the Adriatic are characterized by small amplitudes, while currents are weakly observable, flowing counterclockwise along the Croatian coast.   

The sea's salinity averages 38.30 per mill , influenced by the Po River and lower than the Mediterranean. Sea temperatures fluctuate annually, reaching 22 to 25°C in summer.    

Waves are relatively small due to the Croatian coast's configuration, ensuring safe sailing .   

Weather conditions are influenced by the general Mediterranean weather , with light to moderate winds prevailing until June, calm in July and August, and stronger winds returning in September.  

Winds in Croatia

The Adriatic Sea is known for distinct wind patterns that influence its weather and sailing conditions, including Bura, Jugo, Maestral, Lebić, and Levant.

Choosing the right crew is crucial for a harmonious voyage. Coordinate with your crew to plan an itinerary aligning with everyone's interests. Croatia's coast and islands offer diverse attractions.  

Pack light,   favouring duffle bags over bulky suitcases due to limited storage. Include passports, booking documents, credit cards, sun protection, hats, medications, and essential clothing.  

Embarkation typically occurs on Saturday afternoon. Plan by providing crew lists and skipper's license in advance.    

Navigate responsibly, adhering to safety regulations. Refuel before returning to the marina and be punctual to avoid additional charges.  

Keep a keen eye on weather forecasts. Plan your routes to align with favourable conditions, making for smoother and safer sailing. Sailing often comes with surprises, so stay calm, assess situations rationally, and be prepared to adjust your plans if needed.  

Respect the environment . Be mindful of marine life, dispose of waste responsibly, and adhere to environmental regulations.

Croatian Wine Culture  

The roots of viticulture in Croatia run deep, with evidence dating back 2500 years, showcasing the cultivation of vines and wine processing. From ancient coins to artefacts along the Adriatic coast, Croatia's viticultural tradition has flourished over the centuries, reaching continental Croatia several centuries later.  

Today, Croatia stands as a country with a thriving wine culture, where half of the vineyards are dedicated to personal use, emphasizing the genuine appreciation for wine among Croatians.  

Croatia boasts over 130 registered grape varieties, many of which are indigenous to the country, contributing to the allure of Croatian wines for those seeking distinct flavours and characteristics.  

Croatia is divided into four distinct wine regions, each with its own unique features, challenges, and regulations. Slavonija region is for white wines with full flavour, fruity aromas, and medium-to-high alcohol content, featuring the prominent Graševina variety. Dalmatia region is steeped in tradition, producing red wines like Plavac, Plavac mali, Crljenak, Babić, Lasina, and Pavina . Modern producers are enhancing the wine quality with contemporary techniques. Istria and Kvarner regions are characterized by a blend of mild Mediterranean and colder continental climates, showcasing a mix of continental and Mediterranean grape varieties.  

Croatia's Diverse Beer Scene  

Croatia's beer culture has gained recognition in recent years. Marked by a surge in small breweries preserving cultural techniques, Croatian beer offers a lively range.  

Karlovačko, founded in 1854, is celebrated for its refreshing character. Ožujsko, with over 120 years of brewing, is known for its crisp taste. Velebitsko offers a rich flavor, Grička Vještica Dark Lager brings roasty notes, and Baltazar Hopy Lager blends tradition with hop flavors. Barba Pale Ale adheres to purity laws, Fakin IPA stands out with 70 bitterness units, and Varionica Pale Ale is multi-awarded. Pan Pilsner boasts Czech Saaz hops, Dva Klasa Wheatbeer is refreshing, and Russian Imperial Stout from Devetka Brewery is a robust option.  

Savouring a cold beer in Croatia captures the essence of a laid-back, relaxed lifestyle, fostering memorable moments.  

Traditional Mediterranean Cuisine  

The Mediterranean diet, recognized as one of the healthiest globally and listed by UNESCO since 2013, draws inspiration from the culinary practices of Mediterranean Sea communities.   

Centred on plant-based cooking with fruits, vegetables, fish , meat, whole grains, and olive oil, the diet limits saturated fats, sugar, and refined foods. It encourages fish consumption, favours olive oil, and incorporates regional variations across Mediterranean countries.  

In Croatia, the Mediterranean diet is deeply ingrained in the culture, notably on the islands of Hvar and Brač. Recognized by UNESCO, traditional Croatian dishes like 'mišina' cheese, Hrapoćuša cake, makaruni desserts , and Pag cheese contribute to preserving the region's culinary heritage.   

Best Restaurants in Dalmatia  

In Croatia, dining is a delightful exploration of flavours set against the backdrop of the stunning Adriatic coast.

Dalmatia's Sweet Delights

Paradižot, a decadent Dalmatian favourite, features Maraschino-soaked biscuits, egg-white dumplings, and a lemony custard, topped with shaved chocolate.

A Mediterranean treasure waiting for you to explore by boat

Croatia is a sailing paradise, the perfect terrain for exploring with a yacht rental. And with over 1000 islands, alluring coastal cities, as well as countless fishing villages and bays, choosing where to set sail is going to be the hardest part.

Part of the former Yugoslavia, the country is lying just across the Adriatic sea from Italy’s east coast, and sharing land borders with Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia and Bosnia. Today, Croatia is a tourist haven, which when you arrive will come as no surprise. The scenery is stunning, the lifestyle is unmistakably Mediterranean and the food is a mouthwatering combination of east meets west.

As if that isn’t enough, Rough Guides readers named Croatia as one of the 20 most beautiful countries in the world! And how better so see this stunning country than from the deck of your Sailo yacht rental? A week of sailing in Croatia truly does have something to offer to everyone!

Fans of Game of Thrones will be all too aware of the beautiful landscapes on offer in Croatia. Namely Dubrovnik. The city stands in for Kings Landing in the popular TV show. But even if you’re not a fan of dragons and sword fighting, Dubrovnik is sure to steal your heart. The old town with its fortifications, lively centre and great views has become one of the most popular places to visit in the Mediterranean.

Rent a boat in Dubrovnik is also a great idea when you’re set to go sailing in Croatia. Sailo curates a great selection of sailboats and catamarans for explorers to get on the high seas and venture beyond the tourist throngs.

Besides Dubrovnik, you can rent a yacht in Zadar , choose a boat rental in Split or try a yacht charter in Sibenik with their own splendid vistas and excellent sailing rental opportunities.

Croatia is blessed with a whole archipelago of stunning islands, from well developed hangouts lined with millionaires mansions, to islands that are home only to deer and dolphins. The joy of island hopping when you go sailing in Croatia on your Sailo boat rental is that you can pick the island, or islands, that are right for you.

Want to stroll the harbourside in a vibrant town, then party the night away? Or maybe you’d prefer to sleep under the stars with just the sounds of gentle lapping waves? A yacht rental for a week-long sailing in Croatia allows you to do exactly what you please.

More preferable Croatian island for sailing is Hvar. Boat rentals in Hvar are choosing more often than for the other Croatian islands. The best known islands are are Hvar and Brač, the latter an easy day trip from Split. Both of these islands are large enough to explore and find your own slice of tranquility, or moor up and join the crowds. If you’re really looking to explore the pristine side of the islands, take your yacht rental to Dugi Otok, Molat, Zirje or Mljet for some peace and quiet.

As one might expect with all these stunning islands, one of the best things about renting a boat in Croatia is being able to explore those shimmering seas. The waters of Adriatic sea often have great visibility and a vibrant and visible sea life. Although you’ll find lots of opportunity to rent scuba gear, and be rewarded with some of the most stunning undersea life in the Mediterranean, snorkeling offers its own rich rewards.

Many of the Croatian islands are fringed by shallow reefs, perfect for splashing about with a snorkel for hours at a time. Big and little kids will delight at the rich array of fish and other underwater critters, and you’ll often spot octopus, crab, scorpionfish and even seals and dolphins.

In fact, you won’t even need to get wet to enjoy meeting bottlenose dolphins. When cruising the Adriatic Sea on your yacht rental, you’re highly likely to meet a friendly pod of dolphins at some point. If you’re lucky you might even get to see a turtle!

The Mediterranean isn’t short of a few historic sites, and Croatia has its fair share. From castles to ruins; to fortifications from modern conflicts, history buffs will find lots to keep them occupied. Stari Grad in Hvar is home to an ancient Roman settlement as well as an Ottoman era fort. In Zadar, walk through the city gates from the era when Venice was the local superpower.

Dubrovnik of course, with its old town a UNESCO heritage site, is made up of a whole smorgasbord of ancient civilizations. In fact the Byzantines, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians are just a few of the people to have left their mark on this beautiful town. Wherever you end up with your boat rental in Croatia, you won’t be far from a piece of history.

If you’re looking to rent a boat to go sailing in Croatia, you’ll find options for Sailo boat rentals all the way up the Dalmatian coast. Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar and Sibenik offer a fantastic choice of monohull yachts and catamarans, for either day trips or week long yacht charter.

When renting your boat in Croatia, you’ll find options for families and friends, or bigger boats to really make a splash. Cruise the sea in a powerboat or raise the mainsail to let the trade winds carry you to your next destination.

Keep your camera close to capture the charming limestone streets, impressive Baroque buildings, and the stunning views of the Adriatic sea.

Set sail to Sudurad - the main port of the Sipan Island and get ready for a change of pace. The island is popular among Croatians and appreciated for the laid-back atmosphere and delicious wines.

I would give 10 stars if possible. We tried to book the evening before our requested date. Bartul was not available but arranged another skipper and was able to book us on his Elon 30. You could feel he tried very hard to accommodate us in every way. Our skipper Luca was super cool. Very knowledgeable and we trusted him from the start. Luca grew up on the Adriatic Sea and taught us so much. My wife and I are sailors and wanted more of a sailing experience rather than a touristy cruise. It was the most exciting and memorable sail we have ever done. Thank you Luca and Bartul. You both are amazing and every time we come to Croatia you will be our first call. THANK YOU

Great boat, great service, located right next to a great sailing area.

The community's advice on the destination

Sailboat rental in croatia, charter a sailboat in croatia with or without a captain.

Embarking on a sailing adventure along the captivating Croatian coast is a dream shared by sailors around the globe. SamBoat, a trusted platform, facilitates this dream by offering the opportunity to charter a sailboat in Croatia, allowing you the choice to sail with or without a captain. The allure of the coastal beauty, the transparent waters of the Adriatic, and the enchanting historic port towns establish Croatia as one of the premier sailing destinations globally. This comprehensive guide aims to delve into the intricacies of sailing in Croatia, covering aspects such as the best time to set sail, costs, licensing requirements, and the irresistible charm of different routes.

Charter a sailboat in Croatia

Sailing along the Croatian coast reveals a Mediterranean paradise adorned with turquoise waters, vibrant islands, and picturesque port towns steeped in history. Chartering a sailboat provides the unique opportunity to explore pristine coves, witness breathtaking waterfalls, visit ancient forts, and immerse yourself in the lush scenery along the renowned Dalmatian Coast. Beyond its natural beauty, Croatia's appeal extends to its delectable cuisine and the warmth of its people, making it a destination that transcends the typical sailing experience.

How much does it cost to rent a sailboat in Croatia?

Understanding the cost of renting a sailboat in Croatia is crucial for planning your dream maritime adventure. The pricing varies depending on factors such as the month and duration of the rental. On average, daily rates hover around 450, while weekly rentals may cost approximately 3,700. The sailing season typically commences in late April and extends through the beginning of October. However, if you plan to charter a sailboat during the peak months of July and August, it's advisable to be prepared for slightly higher prices.

For those lacking sailing qualifications or experience, the option to rent a sailboat with a captain is a viable and wise choice. A professional captain not only ensures your safety but also acts as a local guide, unveiling hidden gems along the coast. Keep in mind that captain services come with an additional fee, offering a valuable investment for a secure and enriched sailing experience.

Do I need a sailing license to sail in Croatia?

In Croatia, safety takes precedence when chartering a sailboat, necessitating the possession of proper licenses. A sailing license, coupled with a VHF radio license, is mandatory. Additionally, prospective sailors must provide a nautical CV detailing their previous experience and the waters they have navigated. These stringent measures are in place to ensure a secure and enjoyable sailing experience, especially considering the diverse and challenging conditions of the Adriatic.

When is the best time to sail in Croatia?

The best time to sail in Croatia is typically during the summer months, from May to September. This period offers warm and sunny weather, with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C) on average. The sea temperature is also comfortable for swimming and water activities.

May and September are considered shoulder seasons. During these months, the weather is still pleasant, but the crowds are smaller, and prices may be more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that the beginning and end of the season may have slightly cooler temperatures, especially in May.

July and August are the peak months for sailing in Croatia, as the weather is consistently warm and the sea conditions are generally calm. However, this is also the high tourist season, so popular destinations can be crowded.

Things to do in Croatia

Embarking on a sailboat charter in Croatia opens the door to exploring the sunniest coastline in Europe, offering a harmonious blend of history, culture, and gastronomy. The multitude of departure ports allows for a customized itinerary, enabling you to sail at your own pace and convenience.

Common embarkation points, such as Dubrovnik , serve as gateways to the fertile islands of Hvar , Korcula, Ston, Mljet, and Brac. A detour to Marina Agana provides the chance to witness the spectacular Krka Falls. Croatia's warm weather, refreshing breezes, and an abundance of UNESCO World Heritage sites make it an ideal destination for sailing enthusiasts seeking a multifaceted experience.

Catamaran Charter in Croatia

For those captivated by the enchanting sailing experience in Croatia, the recommendation is to return and elevate the adventure by renting a catamaran. Sailing in Croatia on a catamaran offers a different perspective, providing enhanced stability, spacious interiors, and a unique sailing experience. Whether it's the first time or a seasoned sailor's return, Croatia's diverse offerings promise an unforgettable maritime journey that transcends conventional expectations. The option to rent a catamaran opens new horizons, presenting an opportunity to explore hidden corners and indulge in unparalleled comfort on the azure waters of the Adriatic. The stability and spaciousness of catamarans offer a luxurious dimension to the sailing experience, enhancing the overall enjoyment of Croatia's coastal wonders.

In conclusion, chartering a sailboat in Croatia is not just a maritime escapade; it's a journey into a realm of beauty, culture, and history. SamBoat's offerings pave the way for an unforgettable adventure along the Croatian coast, where every wave carries the echoes of centuries-old tales and every port town invites you to immerse yourself in its unique charm. Whether you choose to sail with the wind as your guide or enlist the expertise of a captain, Croatia's coastal allure is sure to leave an indelible mark on your seafaring soul. As you plan your Croatian sailing odyssey, consider the diverse routes, the optimal time to set sail, and the unique experiences that await in this maritime haven. Bon voyage!

Yacht & Catamaran Charter in Zadar, Croatia

We can help you find the perfect yacht or catamaran to sail from Zadar!

Sailing from Zadar

Zadar is a great place to set sail from. - it has terrific weather and sailing conditions, and it's the perfect starting point for exploring the Kornati islands - 89 completely unspoilt islands out in the Adriatic sea which are home to a vast range of stunning beaches, cute villages, delightful bays and teeming with wildlife.  You can also head up the coastline to get way, way off the beaten track and find secluded beaches just for you, or south to find the most heart-shaped island in the world!

Zadar itself is a city which has gained in international prominence in recent years and is fast developing into a major tourist destination in its own right - people flock here to see its Roman history and architecture, and a fun-loving atmosphere - and it's even better to see it all from the sea.

There’s so much to see and so many places to visit from Zadar, that one week just isn’t long enough to see and visit them all. Most places you go, you’ll find unspoilt beaches, bays, cliffs and islands, along with idyllic little fishing and farming villages, so you can’t go too far wrong, even if you just follow your nose and decide spontaneously where to go.

This route takes in a lot of the nearby islands and clocks in at 116 nautical miles – which works out at just under 20 nM a day. As you’ll likely be going at a pace of 5 knots or above, that means the sailing should only take 4-5 hours a day, which leaves plenty of time to go at a leisurely pace, to explore your start or end destinations in depth, or to take your time and bob into bays, swim on some beaches, practice man-overboard drills, or just relax.

As we’ll be spending a night in the Kornati marine national park, it’s worth buying an entry pass in advance (since the ticket inspectors will sting you for an extra 50%, and they patrol the islands every night). The unwritten rule is that you need a pass for every day that you’re in the national park after 4pm, so if you’re following our itinerary, a one day pass should suffice.  

From Zadar, we’re heading in a north-westerly direction. You’ll pass lots of other charter yachts heading other directions, but we’re heading off the beaten track to a small farming village on the island of Ist. The prevailing wind is landward from the sea, so it should be a simple reach or broad reach to sail there.

Ist is an island of vines and olive groves, as well as sandy beaches, and it’s a quiet and tranquil place to spend the night, even though there are ferry connections to other islands. There’s a couple of bars and a church, but essentially this is a place to get away from it all and to enjoy life on the ocean waves.  

There are beaches on the south side of Molat, or you could pop into the town itself – which, oddly enough, was visited by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in 1939. But then we’re heading in a south-westerly direction, reaching against the prevailing wind as we follow the channels between the islands and to the east side of Iz.

Veli Iz is a small fishing village which also happens to have its own Roman fort and 14th century church. Founded by fishermen way back when, the village also has a number of decent seafood restaurants, and is famous for its decorative pottery (for which there is even a museum). Sadly, though there were 70 pottery companies on the island in bygone years, there is now only one left.  

You certainly need to stock up because Zut is out in the wilderness. Situated in a sheltered bay which has been used by sailors for centuries, the tourist board built a pontoon and walkway in the bay in recent years to make it easier for sailors to get to shore, and to increase the number of jobs on the island by 1200% - from 1 to 12 people.

When you moor up you’ll find a couple of small shops and bars or eateries (don’t rely on them to be open, just in case, but they’re good if they are), and not much else. It’s a very peaceful bay to spend the night in, and a very unspoilt island to explore.  

There are beaches and bays to explore, and you’re allowed to walk on the islands if you dare to brave the heat. The view from the top of the hills is certainly quite special, but it can take a bit of effort to get there.

From Zut, we’re heading west (likely beating or close-hauled) to pass over the top of Kornati island - the biggest island in the national park – and following down it’s western coast in a south-easterly direction, probably in a broad reach against the prevailing summer wind. Enjoy weaving your way around the islands, finding beaches, bays and even bars on the largely unspoilt islands. You need to head slightly west to ensure that you hit the west coast of Piskera, but it is fairly straight-forward to find the well-sheltered marina and to moor up for the night.

Piskera is similar to Zut in that it is a marina which was built primarily to make the Kornati islands easier for sailors to explore, so you won’t find a town here – though you will find a restaurant, an over-priced shop (but heck, it’s in the middle of nowhere, so it can’t be easy to stock it up!) and modern toilet facilities. It should be another tranquil night, although the bar here can get quite lively if there are enough sailors in the marina.  

Starting in a south-easterly direction until we reach the southern tip of Kornati island, we then need to bear north-easterly to traverse across the channel to Murter. This should be a simple run with the prevailing wind, and you might be able to get away with a broad reach, but bonus marks are available if you manage to goose-wing your way back towards the mainland.

Murter is the largest town on the island of Murter (which isn’t really an island any more, since the arrival of a road connection to the mainland). Surrounded by brilliant beaches, it’s also popular with land-lubbing tourists, and there’s plenty of lively bars and restaurants along the waterfront, which will make a change of atmosphere from Piskera and Zut.

The best beaches are on the west coast, and you could anchor up here if you had time, or, if you fancy some exercise, you could walk to the top of the hill (where there is world war two military base) and enjoy watching the sun set over the Kornati islands.  

Working our way up the coast, we’ll sail past Biograd, which is one of the most popular charter bases in Europe, and the home to the biggest boat show in Croatia (check out our destination guide for Biograd if you want to find out more about it, but it’s not worth stopping there today as it will be busy with people returning their charter yachts).

Further up the channel is lovers island. This is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world. It was only really ‘discovered’ after the invention of Google Earth, but it’s now a romantic destination in it’s own right, and hundreds of people come and propose here each year. It’s a romantic place to go, and it’s traditional to loop around the island (or make a heart shape on your plotter if you’re skilled enough) if you’re going past it, and throwing a euro into the waters around here is supposed to sort out your love life.

Follow the coast further north and you’ll arrive back at Sukosan (the biggest marina in Croatia) or Zadar marina. You should refuel your yacht or catamaran before returning the boat to roughly the same space you took her from on day one. Someone will come and inspect the boat, but you’ll still be sleeping on her tonight.

If you’ve not had chance to visit the old town of Zadar, then now is a good time to go and see the 3,000 year old UNESCO world heritage site. Most bars near both marina’s will be lively with happy sailors recounting their adventures to anyone who will listen tonight, and it’s the last night of the holiday for so many people that it shouldn’t be difficult to find a lively atmosphere.

Hopefully you’ve been impressed by the sun, sea, sailing and general tranquillity of the Croatian islands, hopefully your crew all got on well together (and maybe there was a holiday romance?), and hopefully you’ve had a brilliant, enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Have a safe trip home, and, when you start to miss the sea and the sunshine, remember to visit PlainSailing.com to start planning your next epic adventure!

Sailing Conditions

The winds are particularly reliable throughout the sailing season, when local sailors claim that they can set their watch by them: there are Mistral winds during the day which peak between 9am and mid-day, then take a break for a couple of hours, before returning (“after lunch”) for another few hours at 3pm until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze, if anything at all.

The daytime winds are usually Force 4 or Force 5, and their prevailing direction is landward, which is driven by the sun – as the land warms up and the air above it rises during the day, air is sucked from the sea. A little further out from the coast, and away from the Mistral winds, then the winds shoots down the Adriatic channel into the heart of the Mediterranean.

We use three marinas in Zadar, each offering excellent and modern facilities, and great levels of care for our guests.

If you're staying in the area before or after your charter, we can recommend these places that are close to Marina Zadar and D-Marin Borik - Prestige design rooms or El mirador rooms - or these places next to Sukosan - Hotel Joso or White Residence .

Marina Zadar

Marina Zadar is based right in the centre of town, which means it’s quite an atmospheric place to spend the night, and there’s plenty of bars and restaurants. The marina also boasts its own casino!

Marina Dalmacija, Sukosan

The recently built Marina Dalmacija is just 7km to the south of the historic old town (in the suburb of Sukosan), and, with space for 1,200 boats, is the biggest marina in Croatia. It has all the latest mod cons, including a swish beach bar and a waterfront restaurant with stunning decking over the sea.

What it’s like on a €70,000 per week, 80ft motor yacht charter

Charter company Lumi Yachts is named after the Finnish word for snow, but a few days on board its brand new Princess Y80 is enough to melt anyone’s heart

What would be your ideal holiday if you lived in a country so cold it had 40 different words for snow? How about sunbathing on the deck of a brand new Princess Y80 while a smiling crew member topped up your gin and tonic? It would certainly be very near the top of my list and I am guessing it’s the same for the two Finnish businessmen who bought the very first Princess Y80 off the production line, set it up as a charter business and called it Lumi – one of the many native words for, you guessed it, snow.

Sitting on its home berth in Cala d’Or marina, Mallorca, Lumi certainly looks as clean, white and sparkling as freshly fallen snow but the sun warming our backs at the tail end of October tells a very different story. We’re here to spend a few days on board so we can experience what it’s like to be a charter guest on this very special boat.

It’s rare enough to spend any length of time aboard an 80ft motor yacht but three days and nights on a brand new model we haven’t even sea trialled yet is next-level lucky.

Skipper Paul Askew and stewardess Liz Jepson are on hand to greet us, chilled champagne at the ready to help erase the memories of our Ryanair flight – most guests opt for a rather more exclusive means of arrival! I’ve met Paul before when he was working as a charter skipper for Boats.co.uk so we know we’re in safe hands and Liz seems equally happy to meet us.

After a quick tour of the boat, and to the surprise of absolutely no-one, my wife and I opt for the midships master while our friends Dan and Victoria settle for the forward VIP. That still leaves two very comfortable ensuite doubles free for other guests without anyone feeling like a second class citizen.

Not that there’s any danger of that in our party. Dan and Victoria are experienced sailors but their idea of boating is night sailing across the Channel in a 30-year-old bilge-keeler, so sleeping in a king-sized double bed with hot and cold running crew is all rather overwhelming. Luckily, Victoria seems to be getting the hang of it just fine, especially after the second glass of champagne!

Dan is proving a little more reluctant to embrace the dark side (all motor boats are regarded with a degree of scepticism) but soon warms up when talk turns to today’s cruising itinerary. The plan is to potter gently south along the east coast of Mallorca, stopping off at a couple of pretty Calas en route for a bite to eat before heading out to the national marine park of Cabrera, some 10nm further south, to spend the night on a buoy.

Easing along Cala d’Or’s long, slender entrance channel, lined on both sides with what looks like an entire year’s output of the combined European boat building industry, is my idea of heaven even if the girls seem rather more smitten by the luxury villas keeping watch over them from the hillsides above – each to their own!

Sheltered as we are from the prevailing southerly, it comes as a bit of a surprise to witness white horses on the peaks of the waves as we nose out of the entrance into the rolling swell. At this time of year you do have to take your chances with the weather, unlike the wall-to-wall sunshine that is all but guaranteed between May and September.

The plus side of cruising here in October is that the sea is still a balmy 24 degrees and the beaches, marinas and restaurants are far less crowded than during the peak summer months. Besides, it will take more than a few white caps to spill your drink on a boat as large and seaworthy as this one.

Cala hopping

Safely ensconced up on the flybridge we settle into a relaxed canter, gently rising and falling with the motion of the waves, blissfully unperturbed by the occasional bursts of spray being thrown out from Lumi ’s bow. Even from the co-pilot’s sea, it’s clear this is a very capable sea boat.

Right on cue, Paul points the bow in towards another narrow fissure in the cliffs called Cala Figuera. This one’s barely any wider than the boat is long and the further we crawl up its narrowing channel, the more impressed I am by Paul’s close-quarters control. One false move and we’ll be graunching the metalwork on the cliffs. When it’s clear we can go no further, he spins Lumi on its axis and heads back out the way we came before pushing on south towards Cap Saline, the southernmost tip of Mallorca.

Before we leave the shelter of land altogether, Paul tucks up under the lee of Cala Lombards, dropping anchor but leaving the stabilisers on so we can enjoy our first lunch on board; a fabulous spread of fresh tomatoes, basil and burrata with serrano ham, rocket and parmesan. Served in Lumi ’s aft cockpit, it’s a perfect opportunity to admire how the Y80’s longitudinal dinette arrangement gives everyone a much better view than the usual athwartships layout. It seems so obvious that you wonder why it took so long for designers to come up with it.

Fully fed and watered, the girls retire to the teak sunloungers with a book and a glass of rosé, while Dan and I join Paul at the upper helm for the passage across to Cabrera. Yomping along at 10-12 knots with the engines purring away and the silhouette of the islands gradually growing larger on the horizon, it’s an exhilarating feeling.

Cala Figuera is barely any wider than the boat is long and the further we crawl up its tapering channel the more impressed I become

Cabrera nights

Less than an hour later, we’re passing through the gap in the outer islands, the low-lying sun casting long shadows on the ochre-coloured earth of this beautiful but barren landscape. Pretty as they are, the islands hide a dark history; in 1808 some 9,000 French prisoners were abandoned here but intermittent supplies from the mainland and few natural resources to rely on meant only 3,600 of them survived long enough to be repatriated in 1814.

These days the whole archipelago is a protected national park inhabited only by a handful of staff who look after it and manage the visitors’ moorings in the large natural harbour.

A buoy in the shadow of Cabrera’s castle provided a memorable overnight stay

Paul has pre-booked one of the buoys and it’s here, in the shadow of the 14th-century castle perched at the entrance to the bay, that we find our spot. Once secured, Paul wastes no time launching the Williams Sportjet 435 from Lumi ’s hydraulic platform and whisking us across the bay to visit a large natural cave. Steadying pole removed to reduce our air draft, we penetrate deep into the mouth of the cave, voices echoing off the rocky walls as the light from the entrance fades to a pinprick behind us.

By the time we return, the sun has set and Lumi is lit up from the inside like a giant glass lantern. A more welcoming sight is hard to imagine, especially with the aroma of Liz’s cooking drifting out from the midships galley. There’s just time for a quick swim in the illuminated pools of Lumi ’s underwater lights before supper is served; chilled gazpacho followed by an authentic Spanish paella with succulent octopus and prawns the size of cigars. Heavy with food, wine and the excitement of a day well spent, we collapse into the embrace of our wonderfully soft, cosy beds.

Windy weather

Waking to the gentle gurgle of water lapping against the hull, two things quickly become clear. First, the wind has started to pick up and second, even though I can feel the stabilisers working, both the fins and the generator are all but inaudible in the master cabin – a major improvement on previous boats I’ve slept on.

With the forecast predicting 30-knot winds this afternoon, Paul recommends heading back to the safety of Cala d’Or and spending a day in the marina, exploring the many onsite restaurants and bars, which we happily agree to.

There’s no point getting beaten up just for the sake of sticking to a pre-planned itinerary; far better to go with the flow and make the most of the boat and location. In fact, we all rather enjoy a quiet day checking out the local beach, dining at a fabulous fish restaurant and coming and going from our luxury floating hotel where there’s always a hot shower and a cool drink at the ready.

The view that greets you every time you wake up in Lumi’s magnificent master cabin

The next day dawns bright and clear and after another fine breakfast of freshly baked croissants, scrambled eggs and locally sourced yoghurt and honey, we’re all keen to get back out to sea. The wind has died but a residual swell provides another chance to admire the Y80 in action, including a quick burst of throttle to see what those big 1,900hp MAN engines can do – an impressive 32.5 knots is the answer albeit at the cost of over 700lph (something to bear in mind when planning your own itinerary).

At Paul’s suggestion, we’re popping a few miles down the coast to Cala Mondrago, reputed to be one of Mallorca’s prettiest anchorages, with a pristine beach and wonderfully unspoilt surroundings. We arrive just as a small fleet of sailing yachts are leaving, freeing up a spot right at the head of the inlet where it splits into two natural coves. With practised efficiency Paul and Liz drop the hook in water so clear you can see the anchor settling into the white sand below. Minutes later the platform is lowered, the tender launched and an array of water toys is at our disposal, including an ever popular Seabob.

Cala Mondrago deserves its reputation as one of Mallorca’s prettiest anchorages

Cala Mondrago

Dan and the girls drive straight in, while Paul takes me off for a tour of the Cala in the Williams to find the best angle for photographs. This is truly Instagram heaven with hidden inlets, rocky promontories and a handful of spectacular villas providing the perfect backdrop for the Y80, occupying centre stage at the heart of the action. There’s no denying that Lumi is a very pretty-looking boat and it’s hard not to feel a little bit smug at all the envious eyes pointed in our direction.

We return to the boat just in time to hear gales of laughter from Victoria as she scoots around the boat behind the Seabob. Dan is quick to follow, heading off to the rocks where the waves have worn a natural tunnel through the cliffs. We watch him disappear cautiously into the gloom before reappearing 30 seconds later on the other side of the headland. It’s moments like this that make a charter holiday such an unforgettable experience.

The Seabobs and Williams Sportjet means there’s plenty to keep guests entertained

Feeling suitably refreshed, we ask Paul to drop us off at an old landing stage on one side of the bay so we can walk around the two long branches of the Cala. A coastal path leads up through wooded headland before working its way back down to the fine sandy beach where the last of the season’s holidaymakers are splashing about in the sapphire blue waters. It’s hard to believe that today is 1 November.

We pick our way along the rocks at the head of the bay then along the cliffs to the second beach before calling Paul to pick us up from an old boat house tunnelled into the rocks on the other side. With consummate skill, he manoeuvres the 435’s bow close enough for us to hop across from the rocks before whisking us back to the boat in our very own waterborne limo service.

Mallorca’s many Calas mean there’s always an attractive sheltered spot to drop anchor

Porto Petro

For our final night, Paul has booked a buoy in the neighbouring natural harbour of Porto Petro so after another glorious lunch under the shade of the flybridge hard top, we weigh anchor and head round the corner to this pretty little fishing village. Once again Paul is on hand to drop us ashore for a beer or three in a quayside bar, where we watch the sun set over our floating home from home. Tomorrow we’ll come crashing back to reality but for the moment all four of us are living the dream and relishing every moment of it.

Chartering a boat like this doesn’t come cheap but being able to share precious moments like this with family and friends while being royally looked after by Liz and Paul is a truly unforgettable experience. Even hardened sailor Dan has fallen for Lumi ’s charms, while secretly cursing me for setting such an absurdly high bar for any future boating holidays. I know how he feels, my 22ft Karnic sportsfisher will never feel quite the same again but even if this proves to be the peak of my boating career, I will go to my grave knowing that for a few dazzling days I’ve lived like a royalty aboard the ultimate Snow Princess.
