Croatia Yacht Charter Planning Guide

Croatia is fast becoming Europe's Bareboat Sailing Charter capital offering everything bareboat charters are looking for - hundreds of islands to explore, sailing at every level from beginner to advanced, excellent anchorages, timeless towns, excellent cuisine and everything from seclusion to superb nightlife.

There are hundreds of new monohull and catamaran bareboats for charter all along the coast, with many marinas to stay overnight. Fleets generally incorporate 3-5 cabin monohulls ranging from 30 to 55 feet, and a good selection of catamarans. Split and the surrounding areas such as Trogir are renowned for their facilities and large fleets of bareboat charters. There is also an option of charting in other Croatian destinations such as Dubrovnik and Pula.

Gulets are large wooden sailing yachts. They typically have 4-6 cabins, complete with en-suite bathrooms, large dining rooms, socialising areas, huge decks for sunbathing and a large crew complete with captain, chef, hostesses and deckhands. Gulets are a glorious sight with all their sails up under a full wind, and a fantastic way to experience the wonders of a crewed sailing charter. If you have several couples or families who would like to charter on the same boat, gulets are an excellent option both for their value and their classic and timeless style.
