The Adriatic’s Ultimate Social Sanctuary

A Hvar yacht charter is the pinnacle of the Croatian summer.

For the luxury traveler, a private yacht is the only way to experience Hvar—providing a front-row seat to the Riva promenade while maintaining the ability to escape to a private cove at a moment’s notice.

FAQ:

Yes. Spots are extremely limited and typically reserved for yachts over 20m. We recommend arriving by 1:00 PM or anchoring in the Pakleni Islands and taking a taxi boat into the town center.
In July and August,cabanas and VIP tables sell out weeks in advance. We recommend booking your spot at **Laganini** or Carpe Diem Beach at least 14 days before your arrival.
Standard daytime taxi boats cost approximately €15–€25 per person. For late-night returns from Stipanska, expect higher rates for private speedboat transfers.
If you are docked on the Riva, you are in the heart of the nightlife until 2 AM. For a tranquil night, we suggest anchoring in the Pakleni Islands (Vinogradišće) or visiting **Stari Grad**.
**Gariful** on the waterfront is the most famous for celebrity spotting. Zori in the Pakleni Islands and Passarola in the Old Town also attract a high-end international crowd.
Yes, it is a popular day trip. It takes about 1 hour by motor yacht. We suggest departing early in the morning to avoid the midday rush of tour boats from Split.
Most luxury yachts enforce a "soft-sole" or "no-shoes" policy to protect the teak decks and interior carpets. You can typically wear clean, non-marking boat shoes or go barefoot.
Absolutely. While famous for its party scene, the island has many shallow, sandy bays (like Mlaska) and the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain, which is perfect for family cycling tours.
Lavender blooms in June and early July. We can arrange a private 4x4 tour of the island’s interior and abandoned villages to see the fields at their peak fragrance.
Most clubs and restaurants take cards, but cash is essential for taxi boats, small market stalls, and tipping your yacht crew (standard is 10-20% of the charter fee).

Plan your Hvar Yacht Charter Trip

Planning a journey to the 'Queen of the Dalmatian Islands' requires a balance of logistical precision and local insight. As the most sought-after destination in Croatia, Hvar demands a proactive approach to secure the best experiences.

Strategizing Your Arrival

Most guests begin their journey at Split Airport (SPU). From the mainland, a private yacht allows you to bypass the public ferry queues and arrive at the Hvar Riva in style. For those seeking the ultimate luxury experience, we coordinate private speedboat transfers directly from the airport to your yacht's flybridge.

Mooring & The Pakleni Sanctuary

Securing a berth on the Hvar Riva is the gold standard for socialites, placing you steps away from the island's best bars. However, for those who value privacy and calm waters, we recommend anchoring in the Pakleni Islands. From the chic beach clubs of Palmižana to the hidden coves of Ždrilca, the Pakleni offer a sophisticated alternative just a 5-minute tender ride from the main square.

When to Experience Hvar

  • July & August: The peak of the social season. Expect high energy, world-renowned DJs, and a vibrant, international crowd.
  • June & September: The 'Connoisseur’s Choice.' Warm waters and open beach clubs, but with a more relaxed, spacious atmosphere in the Old Town alleys.
