Split / Croatia Yacht Charters

With favourable winds, stunning scenery, modern marinas and safe anchorages, Croatia charters offer the ideal island hopping adventure. The temperatures average 18-24°C (64-75ºF) between May and October. The rainy season runs between October and January. Throughout the cruising season, water temperatures average a balmy 22ºC (71ºF). Winds are generally light and variable in the mornings, with a perfect afternoon sailing wind often peaking up to 20 knots before dropping off again in the evening. Early and late in the season, southerly and south-easterly winds are more variable and you do need to watch out for the north-easterly Bora wind. The tidal range is small, only 30 to 60cm. Mooring charges do apply and can range from between €30 and €90 per night depending on location and the size of yacht. Alternatively there are numerous protected anchorages which are free or cheaper.

8 Days Day 1: Join your yacht in Split Day 2: Split - Starigrad (22 nm) Located on Hvar Island, Starigrad is the oldest town in Croatia, dating back to 384 BC, the same year Aristotel was born. The town has much to offer visitors - a beautiful location, glorious weather, fascinating history and a great base to explore from, by land and sea! Day 3: Stari Grad - Komiza (29 nm) Komiza is a typical Mediterranean village on the island of Vis, sitting at the base of 600m high mountain, Hum. Try one of the local culinary specialties such as komiska pogaca or brodetto. In the waters surrounding Vis you will find sunken planes, submarines and warships. Day 4: Komiza - Lastovo (37 nm) Delight in Lastovo’s architecture dating back the 15th and 16th centuries. If you happen to visit between The Feast of the Three Kings and Ash Wednesday, you will be in for a treat. The energy of Poklad, or carnival, consumes the island and involves costumes, music and the sword dance. Day 5: Lastovo - Hvar (30 nm) For the real Hvar experience, stop at a small inn (“konoba”) to drink real home-made wine and eat freshly picked olives. Today Hvar is considered to be one of the 10 most beautiful islands in the world. Day 6: Hvar-Trogir (27 nm) Nicknamed “The Stone Beauty”, Trogir has an abundance of palaces, churches and towers. Take an evening stroll across the bridge to this historic, walled city. Consider having dinner at the charming Restaurant Capo in the heart of old Trogir. Day 7: Trogir - Split (14 nm) Day 8: Disembarkation
