How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Sailing Yacht in Croatia?

The cost of yacht rentals in Croatia varies based on the following factors:

From our fleet of over 2,800 yachting charters in Croatia, we have a variety of sizes available for customers to select from. The bigger options and the high-spec models are more expensive than smaller vessels with fewer cabins and older models.

As well as the size and model, our four boat types, including monohulls, catamarans, motorboats, and gullets, all have different prices because of their unique features and styles.

When you’ve selected the boat type, model, and size, you’ll have to decide whether you want a bareboat charter to operate yourself, a captain-led skippered charter, or an all-inclusive crewed charter.

Bareboat charters are the most affordable out of sailyachts.com fleet but can only be operated by someone with a sailing license, whereas crewed charters are the priciest, but an experienced crew will take good care of you for your trip.

Keep in mind Croatia’s high and low sailing seasons. The high season starts around the time of the school summer holidays on the European continent, from the end of May to the beginning of September. This is an amazing time for sailing with lovely weather conditions and moderate winds, although the prices increase with the demand.

If you’ve got time on your hands, don’t overlook February to May and November to December. It’s a brilliant chance to snap up some deals on sailing charters in Croatia with sailyachts.com; the weather will still be on your side, and you can avail yourself of cheap mooring fees. What’s not to love?

How Different Yacht Charter Options Affect the Price

Before you book your boat charter in Croatia with sailyachts.com, you’ll need to determine whether you want a bareboat charter, skippered charter, or crewed charter.

Here’s how these options can impact the final fee you’ll pay.

Bareboat Charter

Are you an avid sailor yourself with a license? Bareboat charters are made for you! Take on the Adriatic Sea at your own pace without a crew or captain; you control your own voyage. Seen as our cheapest option of the three, all you need is a full sailing license and proof of experience, and you’re good to go. We offer bareboat charts for as little as €3,500 per week, according to the mode, size, and time of year.

Skippered Charters

Not everyone wants to take over the sailing on their yachting trip through Croatia; that’s where our skippered charter option comes in. Hire a captain for the sailing side of things on your voyage; it’s simple: you relax, and they manage the course. The fee to hire a captain a day is €220 extra, which will be added to the fee for the bareboat charter.

Crewed Charters

Take your Croatian yachting charter experience to the next level with a full crewed charter, including a captain and a crew, including cooks and deckhands. Crewed charters will be right up your street if you want to totally relax and feel like you’re in a hotel on water.
