A Guide to Chartering in Croatia

Cruise Opal Superyachts along Croatia’s sunlit Adriatic, where over 1,200 islands scatter like stepping stones along a coastline shaped by empires. Dubrovnik’s medieval walls, Split’s Roman palace, and Venetian harbors blend with turquoise bays and white-stone villages, creating a living archive of Roman, Venetian, and Slavic legacies.

Anchor in bays so clear you can see 50 meters below, explore Lastovo Nature Park’s untouched reefs, or drift near the remote island of Palagruža. Island-hop through Hvar’s lavender-scented hills, Brač’s iconic Zlatni Rat beach, and Korčula’s vineyards and medieval streets. From the deck, the Dalmatian coast unfolds like a timeline of civilizations, where Gothic churches, Renaissance squares, and Venetian fortresses coexist with luxury marinas.

Evenings are spent savoring fresh Dalmatian seafood with local Plavac Mali wines or Michelin-starred menus ashore. Croatia delivers a yacht charter experience where history, culture, and Adriatic beauty meet in perfect harmony.

What are the must-see destinations in Croatia?

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, often dubbed the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture. The city’s fortifications, churches, monasteries, and palaces showcase Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Despite significant damage from the 1667 earthquake and the 1990s conflict, extensive restoration efforts have preserved its historical integrity. Today, Dubrovnik stands as a testament to Croatia’s rich cultural heritage and is a must-visit for travelers seeking a blend of history and scenic beauty.

Split & Diocletian’s Palace

Split’s heart beats within the ancient walls of Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site constructed between the late 3rd and early 4th centuries AD. The palace’s ruins are seamlessly integrated into the city’s fabric, with medieval churches, Renaissance palaces, and Baroque structures enriching the urban landscape. This fusion of ancient and modern makes Split a unique destination for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Hvar

Hvar is celebrated as one of the sunniest islands in Europe, boasting an average of 7.7 hours of sunshine daily. Its coastline stretches over 270 km, offering numerous pristine beaches and coves. The island is also known for its rich cultural heritage, including the oldest public theatre in Europe, established in 1612. Whether you’re exploring historical sites or enjoying the vibrant nightlife, Hvar offers a diverse experience for all visitors. 

Korčula

Korčula is traditionally considered the birthplace of the Venetian explorer Marco Polo, adding a layer of intrigue to its historical significance. The island’s fortified town, with its narrow streets and medieval architecture, offers a glimpse into its storied past. Today, Korčula is a blend of historical exploration and natural beauty, making it a compelling destination for travelers.

Vis & Brač

Vis, once a military base, remains one of Croatia’s least-visited islands, offering a tranquil escape with its secluded beaches and traditional villages. Brač is home to Zlatni Rat, a distinctive white pebble beach near the town of Bol. This natural phenomenon, known as the Golden Horn, is a favorite among windsurfers and photographers due to its unique shape and shifting sands.

Plitvice Lakes & Krka National Parks

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s oldest and largest national park, is renowned for its cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes, and diverse flora and fauna. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, it attracts nearly 1.5 million visitors annually. Krka National Park, located in central Dalmatia, is famous for its series of seven waterfalls and the opportunity to swim in its natural pools, offering a refreshing experience amidst stunning landscapes.
