Split Yacht Charter
Exploring Croatia from Split unveils a tapestry of ancient history and natural beauty, where the city's stunning waterfront seamlessly blends with nearby islands, offering travelers an enchanting journey through Dalmatian charm and Adriatic allure.
Gateway to the Dalmatian Islands
A yacht charter from Split offers the most efficient access to Croatia's iconic central islands, including Hvar, Vis, and Brač. As the Adriatic’s primary maritime hub, Split blends 1,700 years of Roman history with world-class marina infrastructure. Whether you are embarking on a crewed catamaran from the ACI Marina or exploring the nearby UNESCO town of Trogir, starting your journey here minimizes travel time and maximizes your time at anchor.
High Tide Tip: For 2026, we recommend arriving a day early to explore Diocletian’s Palace at sunrise before your 5:00 PM check-in.

Hvar & The Pakleni Islands
Known as the "Queen of the Dalmatian Islands," Hvar Town is a sophisticated blend of Venetian architecture and world-class energy. Nautical Tip: Avoid the crowded town harbor and anchor in the Pakleni Islands (Palmižana). From there, a 5-minute water taxi brings you to the Hvar waterfront for dinner, allowing you to return to the peace of your flybridge for the night.
Vis & The Blue Cave (Biševo)
Once a restricted military base, Vis is the most authentic island in the central Adriatic. It is home to the stunning Stiniva Cove, recently voted Europe’s most beautiful beach. A short morning sail to the neighboring islet of Biševo allows you to visit the mesmerizing Blue Cave, where the sunlight creates an ethereal glowing phenomenon inside the limestone cavern.
Brač & The Golden Horn
Brač is home to Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), the shifting pebble beach that changes shape with the currents. Beyond the beach, the island is famous for its white stone—the same stone used to build the White House. High Tide Tip: Visit the Lučice Bay on the south side for deep-water anchorages and some of the best snorkeling in the region.
Šolta: The First & Last Stop
Often overlooked, Šolta is the perfect "first night" destination. Just 9 nautical miles from Split, the village of Maslinica offers a high-end marina (Martinis Marchi) set within an 18th-century castle. It provides a tranquil alternative to the bustle of Split and is the ideal place to watch your first sunset of the charter.
Korčula: The Emerald Isle
A bit further south, Korčula is often called "Little Dubrovnik" for its medieval walls and red-roofed towers. It is the birthplace of Marco Polo and a gourmet’s paradise. Ensure your crew arranges a tasting of Grk wine—a rare white varietal grown only in the sandy soils of the village of Lumbarda.

Sailing Conditions & Seasonal Winds
Understanding the Adriatic’s unique wind patterns is key to a comfortable charter:
- The Maestral: During the peak summer months (June–August), this reliable northwesterly breeze picks up in the afternoon, providing perfect sailing conditions and a welcome cooling effect.
- The Bura: A cooler, northeasterly wind more common in the shoulder seasons. While the Bura creates exhilarating sailing for experienced mariners, we prioritize itinerary flexibility to ensure your route remains protected and calm.
- The Golden Window: We recommend June and September for the optimal balance of warm sea temperatures, consistent breezes, and a more tranquil atmosphere in the islands’ most sought-after harbors.
