Croatia Yacht Charter Guide
Croatia is the summer playground for luxury yacht charters. Experienced Charterers often refer to the Dalmation Coast as the Eastern Mediterranean's take on the French Riviera.
A Croatia superyacht charter is the ideal platform to explore the Dalmation Coast, one of the most popular cruising destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Superyachts are the ideal vessel on which to explore the secluded bays and more than 1,000 islands. As Croatia has become more and more popular amongst the yacht crowd, a number of new beach clubs and restaurants have popped up. The beautiful coastline now boasts a lifestyle to rival the French Riviera. Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar, Brac – just a few of the hot spots worth stepping ashore to. Along with its cosmopolitan offerings, the southern coast harbors glorious remnants of the past – Roman, Venetian and Austrian influences ooze from the architecture and cuisine. The heritage is evident wherever you cruise, and with more than 1,100 islands, it is a haven for the waterborne.

Charter Experience
During a Croatian yacht charter, when you do choose to step ashore there are plenty of cobble-stoned streets and ancient promenades to enjoy. The Dalmatian Coast is for those who want to see from their yacht and not be seen; a place to simply sit back, relax and just be on the water. From Dubrovnik north to Split, the southern Dalmatian Coast harbors a hotchpotch of cultures. Roman ruins and historical sites from its Venetian and Ottoman chapters in history can be found at every turn. Further north the stunning Kornati archipelago is home to a chain of islands with unspoiled beaches and shallow bays.
The waters that lap the Dalmatian Coast and its 1,100 islands are warm and inviting. This, combined with the top class marinas and deep-water bays for peaceful anchorages, make for an ideal cruising ground. Some of the islands are well-established – Brac, Hvar and Korčula being the most popular. Their smaller neighbors remain quiet – a world away from the bustling waterfronts. And then there are the fashionable walled cities of Dubrovnik and Split, both offering stunning sights that cannot be missed. From Dubrovnik northwards to Split is the true Dalmatian Coast. Northrop & Johnson’s charter experts recommend beginning your charter in Montenegro’s Kotor. Cruise over the border to Dubrovnik and explore the islands as far north as the Kornati archipelago before heading back to Montenegro for disembarkation.
