Ideal for Summer Season
Looking for the perfect reason to book a luxury yacht charter vacation this summer? Let the tranquil blue waters of the Dalmatian coast lull you into a state of relaxation as you explore the best of Croatia on an eight-day yacht charter vacation. Blessed with many hidden treasures along its seemingly endless coastline, Croatia is a must-see destination for those in need of a luxurious summer getaway.
- Day 1
Embark in Trogir
A UNESCO-listed island town and one of the finest starting points on the Dalmatian coast
Board your chosen charter yacht at Seget Donji marina, a well-positioned base that keeps you clear of the peak-season congestion in the town itself, where the crew of your Trogir yacht charter will be waiting with a warm welcome and a freshly prepared lunch on deck.
Before setting sail, take an hour to explore Trogir Old Town, a remarkably preserved medieval settlement on a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge. The Cathedral of St Lawrence is the centerpiece, a Romanesque-Gothic structure whose carved portal is considered one of the finest examples of medieval stone carving in the Adriatic.
The town's compact layout and traffic-free streets make it easy to navigate on foot before returning to the yacht and cruising across to Maslinica on Šolta for sundowners and dinner at Martinis Marchi.

Šolta
Oozing peace and tranquility far from the crowds
Šolta sits in the shadow of its more famous neighbours, Brač to the east, Hvar to the south, but yacht charters around Šolta consistently reward those who choose to linger here rather than pass straight through.
The island has no large resort towns, no package tourism infrastructure, and a coastline that feels genuinely unhurried even at the height of summer.
Wake to the views of Maslinica before moving on to Tatinja Bay, a remote, sheltered cove ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and deploying the yacht's full range of water toys in calm, crystal-clear conditions.
In the afternoon, the quiet fishing village of Stomorska on the island's eastern coast is worth a short detour for a coffee and a walk through its narrow lanes. Return to your chosen motor yacht charter for cocktails and dinner under the stars as the light fades over the bay.

Hvar
The glamorous heart of the Dalmatian coast
After breakfast, set course for the charter routes of Hvar, the gem of the Croatian charter circuit and one of the most talked-about stops on any charter vacation along the Dalmatian coast.
Traffic-free marble streets, a vibrant harbour lined with superyachts, and an energy that shifts seamlessly from cultural to cosmopolitan make it a day that requires no planning to be enjoyable.
Spend the morning wandering the old town and climbing to the Fortica fortress above Hvar Town for sweeping views over the Pakleni Islands and the harbor below, one of the finest vantage points on the coast. The afternoon is best spent at Carpe Diem Beach or Laganini, two of the most celebrated beach clubs in Croatia, both delivering excellent food, music, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy a Dalmatian afternoon in style.
- Day 4
Korcula
Marco Polo's birthplace and one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Adriatic
Heralded as the birthplace of Venetian merchant and explorer Marco Polo, Korčula Town is one of those stops that earns its place on a Korčula yacht charter on both historical and aesthetic grounds. Arriving by water, the walls and towers of the old town rising directly from the sea, is the only way to approach it.
Spend the morning tracing the Korčula Town walls and ducking into the Marco Polo House, the merchant's birthplace now converted into a small museum with rooftop views across the old town.
The LD Restaurant is the obvious choice for a long lunch, Michelin-recognised and delivering local Dalmatian produce at its best. In the afternoon, the Pupnatska Luka Beach on the island's southern coast offers a secluded swim well away from the old town's visitor traffic.

Vis
Croatia's most unspoilt island and a world-class diving destination
One of the most remote and least developed islands in the Adriatic, Vis spent several decades as a closed military zone, a history that inadvertently preserved it from the kind of tourist development that has transformed much of the Dalmatian coast. Yacht charters in Vis deliver an island that still feels genuinely local, and the better for it.
Begin at Stiniva Beach, a dramatic shingle cove accessible only by sea, enclosed by towering limestone cliffs that almost meet overhead at the entrance. From there, the island of Biševo is worth the short crossing for the Blue Cave, a sea cave where refracted sunlight turns the water an extraordinary electric blue between approximately 10am and noon, and one of the most singular natural spectacles on the Croatian coast.
In the afternoon, settle into the bohemian fishing town of Komiža for a wander through its backstreets and dinner at LOLA or Pojoda in Kut Bay, both island institutions and the best argument for staying the night.
- Day 6
Hvar: Stari Grad
The island's quieter, older, and arguably more interesting side
While Day 3 was Hvar at its most cosmopolitan, today offers a different perspective on the same island. Charter routes around Croatia that include Stari Grad, the island's oldest settlement, founded by Greek colonists around 385 BC, reveal a depth of history that the glamour of Hvar Town tends to overshadow.
The Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Greek land division in the world, a working agricultural landscape that has remained virtually unchanged for 2,400 years and is still farmed in much the same way today.
The town itself is unhurried and charming, with excellent bakeries and a handful of small restaurants serving traditional Dalmatian food without the harbour-front premiums of Hvar Town. Spend the afternoon at anchor in the long, sheltered bay before an evening meal on board.

Krknjaši (Blue Lagoon Bay) & Trogir
A dreamlike lagoon anchorage within sight of the mainland
Cruise north to Krknjaši, a bay sheltered by two uninhabited islets that together form one of the most naturally protected anchorages on the entire Dalmatian coast charter circuit.
Just 10 nautical miles from the popular charter routes of Split and 13 from Trogir, the Blue Lagoon draws yacht charter guests from across the central Dalmatian islands for good reason. The water is shallow, calm, and an almost implausible shade of turquoise, perfect for a long afternoon of swimming and water toys before the return to Trogir.
Spend the evening anchored in the bay as the crowd thins and the light drops over the Dalmatian coast for the penultimate time. The stillness here in the evenings, with the islets blocking any wind and the stars unobscured by any town light, is one of those understated highlights that stays with you long after the week is over.

Trogir
A final morning in one of the Adriatic's most beautiful medieval towns
Enjoy one final breakfast onboard before disembarking your luxury superyacht charter.
Spend your morning wandering around the medieval delights that Trogir has to offer. If time allows before departure, the Cathedral of St Lawrence rewards a second look in the morning light, the carved portal detail is easier to appreciate without the afternoon visitor numbers, and the town's waterfront cafes are well suited to a final coffee and a last look at the harbor.
