With over a 1000 islands in the Adriatic Sea to explore, innumerable bays and coves, glorious unspoiled beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, magnificent mountain views, delicious gastronomy, 8 beautiful National Parks brimming with wildlife and the Croatian Mediterranean climate, balmy enough to grow palms, vines and olives, it is not difficult to see why Croatia is becoming a very popular holiday destination. One of the best ways to enjoy Croatia’s coastal sites and islands is cruising on a boat, and Dalmatian Coast cruises are our specialty! We offer you several possibilities for cruising vacations or sailing holidays in Croatia with a choice of different types of crewed luxury yachts for private charter. For groups of 18 to 40 guests, we recommend one of our Mini cruisers in Croatia, which are ideal for a group of friends or/and family who wish to celebrate a wedding anniversary, an important birthday, or just to be together. These boats are also well suited for club reunions, seminars, wellness holidays, plus business & corporate hospitality cruises, offering a perfect environment for creative thought and relaxation. For groups of 6 to 18 guests, we would recommend our Gulet charter in Croatia. What is a gulet? Gulets are traditional sailing crafts constructed mainly in shipyards on Turkey’s Aegean, once used for fishing and transport they have now evolved into their present profile, with a wide beam and wide deck to maximise the living space, and with the most up-to-date equipment to maximise your safety and comfort. When cruising on a gulet, you can feel the nostalgia of sailing on an old frigate, but in much more style.

Although most gulets are available only for private charter, we have scheduled a few cabin charter cruises in Croatia, so that individuals, couples and small groups can enjoy these beuatiful boats without the need to charter a whole boat, just the cabins you need. These cultural and culinary excursions will take you to the most interesting and beautiful sites and sights along the Croatian Adriatic coast, such as Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet, Trogir, Kornati, Zadar and much more. To see our latest offers, please go to our Cabin charter in Croatia section. For those that are not keen on sailing, we also offer Motor yacht charter in Croatia.

Typically our Adriatic cruises, whether on a mini cruiser, a gulet or a motor yacht, start with a welcome drink aboard with the skipper and the other members of the crew, after which guests will be shown around the boat. All our boats are fully crewed, so you are not expected to assist in the sailing of the boat. After the welcome drink the boat will lift anchor and set sail for the first of many beautiful destinations, which could be an isolated cove, a quiet beach or an ancient town. We have some fabulous Croatia cruise itineraries planned for you, such as the very popular Split to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split one way cruises plus the Split to Split and Dubrovnik to Dubrovnik round trips, or if you prefer, you can make up your own itinerary. As well as the many Dalmatian islands you can visit, such as Kornati, Brac, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet and Vis, there are any number of fascinating historic towns you can explore, such as Split, Trogir, Zadar and Primosten, not forgetting Dubrovnik, quite rightly described as the pearl of the Adriatic. Plenty of time will be allowed at each stop to look around the sights and during the cruise you can ask the skipper anytime to stop in a quiet little cove or off a beach, so you can go for a swim, do some fishing, or just relax! To help you plan your itinerary, we provide a Dalmatian Coast & Croatia travel guide, an invaluable information resource for cruising in the region, with detailed descriptions of its coastal areas and its activities plus a Croatia photo gallery. We think you will fall in love with Croatia and hope that these web pages will tempt you to go, to see for yourselves.

The stars ☆☆☆☆☆ valuation given to boats above is our own estimation of the quality of a boat, which takes into consideration a number of factors, such as its level of luxury, the quality of its decor, the facilities it provides, its length, its deck & accommodation space, its age or date of its last refit, the water sports equipment it provides, etc. We don't feature any boats that we deem to merit only 2 stars or less. The boats above are listed in order of increasing stars, starting with 3 stars ☆☆☆, which we consider to be still very high quality. If you would like to go straight to 4 star boats click ☆☆☆☆. If you would like to go to straight to 5 star boats click ☆☆☆☆☆.
