Real-time availability and direct booking

Search live dates, compare yachts, and book directly without waiting for manual availability checks.

24/7 local support during charter

Our Split team and island support network are available throughout your charter week.

Verified guest reviews and repeat clients

Direct feedback from charter guests and a strong base of returning crews support our service record.

Why start in Split

Split is the most practical base for a Croatia yacht charter. From ACI Marina Split you can reach Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis quickly, while still enjoying easy airport access, provisioning, parking and an ABA VELA marina office right next to Pier D. That makes arrival, check-in and the first day on the water simpler for crews arriving from abroad. You spend less time on transfers and delivery mileage, and more time sailing a realistic one-week route through the central Adriatic from Split.

If you are still comparing spring, summer and shoulder-season weeks, see our best time to charter from Split guide .

Bareboat or skippered

Bareboat: for qualified sailors with valid skipper and VHF licences who want full control of the yacht and route.

Before booking, check which licences are accepted in Croatia for bareboat charter.

Skippered: for guests who want local expertise, easier marina handling, and a more relaxed holiday on board.

Not sure which option fits your trip? Contact our team in Split.

What is included

The charter price covers weekly use of the yacht, standard onboard equipment, the home marina berth in ACI Marina Split, and direct local support before and during your charter. You can compare our fleet , browse sailing yachts and check current deals on our special offers page .
