Where to Rent a Boat in Croatia?

Croatia is divided by its historical regions, named Istria (green), Central Croatia (red), Slavonia (purple) and Dalmatia (blue). The entire Croatian coastline provides excellent sailing. If you are looking for a more sheltered charter, the island archipelagos offer great protection from the wind.

The most popular sailing area runs between the towns of Split and Dubrovnik.

Kvarner Bay attracts many tourists every year as it is home to numerous islands both little and large. The best known of these are KrK, Cres and Losinj. A great sailing area thanks to the diverse islands on offer and shelter from the wind in this large bay. 

The Kvarner Bay stretches in the Adriatic Sea in the west along the entire east coast of Istria to Opatija and Rijeka. To the east, Kvarner Bay borders the Croatian mainland between Rijeka and Karlobag.

The Dalmatia region occupies most of Croatia's coastline and islands. Following the coast from north to south, you will find many popular yacht charter destinations. The area between the two major cities of Zadar and Split offers a great variety of marinas and is particularly easy to access thanks to their large international airports. One of the most modern marinas in the area is named Sukosan. There you will find a big variety of yachts on offer and is perfect for families who are looking to spend their yacht charter holidays in Croatia.

Another Coastal town is Biograd na Moru. From here you have great access to the world-famous Kornati National Park which is especially beautiful during the summer time.

It is also worth mentioning smaller towns such as Murter or Vodice can offer lower prices for yacht charters in comparison to the larger towns and cities. If you want to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the country during your yacht charter, the towns of Sibenik and Primosten would be a particularly suitable starting point. A couple of other towns worth a visit on the Adriatic coast are Rogoznica and Trogir.

In southern Dalmatia, the city of Dubrovnik is a particularly attractive destination. This beautiful city was one of the main film locations in the Game of Thrones series. Dubrovnik has a number of large marinas and can offer you a wide selection of yachts, catamarans and motor boats. These options can be taken with a skipper, hostess and cook if that’s what you are looking for.

Would you rather go to a Croatian island? No problem! Among the most popular in Dalmatia are Brac and Hvar. If you decide to hire a skipper, he or she can show you the most beautiful hidden spots of the islands.
