Thank you for best week of my life. The boat performed perfectly. Out skipper Josko was just fantastic captain and great fun to have. He really made sure that we had the possibility to enjoy this week to the max. Very professional and good anticipation to weather conditions! I am very happy to have him as a skipper.
We had such a great week, despite two days of rain. This is why Croatia is so unique. There is always something to see and something to do. We couldn’t believe how romantic Croatian small towns are on the rain. The boat behaved very well, the food was exceptionally good in the konobas, and all the locals were friendly and helpful. Our skipper was very proffessional but also friendly, took us to the best places such as see some beautiful caves and bays, sea is so clear and clean.
Josko from Catamaran Charter Croatia was incredible to work with – truly an expert and so well connected in the area. The boats he works with are far superior to the majority we saw on the sea and the staff he has access to are incredible! From the service, the food, the knowledge on best places to avoid crowds and find the perfect cove to swim or the perfect locals restaurant really made the trip special. Croatia is a special place – a cleaner version of Italy with more hospitable people and tremendous food & wine. The towns, scenery, history, architecture were all incredible.

Croatia has many attractions. You could go to Dubrovnik and check the famous old town, Game of Thrones filming sites or tour the city wall. You can spend some time in Split and visit roman Diocletian palace, or many of local fairs and wine festivals. If you miss out on the above, you may choose to rent catamaran in Croatia and visit Central Adriatic with Kornati national park.

Or you can try Istria and Kvarner Gulf . Istria as the largest Croatian peninsula and the islands of Kvarner Gulf are paradise to sea lovers. This area is adorned by old towns, marvelous beaches and numerous small island along the coastline, ideal for catamaran cruises.

Croatia’s island-speckled coastline with crystal clear water and dazzling white beaches with pebbles will simply leave you spellbound. The Dinaric Alps which stretch from Italy to Albania and hug the coast of Adriatic add to the natural beauty. From open sailboats for rent, luxury yachts to traditional crewed gulets, we have a lot of yachts for everyone to choose from.

Charter Croatia Bases

With bases in Split , Trogir, Dubrovnik , Pula, Šibenik and Zadar , there is wide range of sailing areas we are covering. So, whether you like to check  Kornati archipelago, Mljet national park or beautiful caves around Vis island, we have catamaran there. Croatia, with its crystal clear blue water, is becoming more and more popular and attractive destination in nautical world, as newer and more luxurious yachts are coming to market.

Best time to rent a yacht in Croatia is the summer time, when weather is calm between May and September, which gives an opportunity for easy-going sailing charters. Dalmatian coast is characterized by hot dry summers and mild winters, with average temperatures between 23 and 30C. You can inform yourself on what to pack for different parts of the sailing season here .

Coast of Adriatic is additionally stacked with dreamy coves, wonderful old towns, bays and sunny beaches, where you can enjoy tasty local specialties like grilled fish, lamb on spit, prosciutto and top it with awesome wines. That’s why we are following that trend, and increasingly recommend sailing in Croatia to our returning clients. Choose one of the recommended routes  and enjoy.

If you book a sailboat, power boat or catamaran charter in Croatia for the first time, you obviously need to pay attention on regulations and skipper licenses requirements . To charter a boat, it is required to poses a valid nautical license, on top of navigation and sailing skills. Please contact us for detailed information regarding valid licenses accepted in Croatia. If the license you already have is not accepted, we can arrange a short sailing course where the necessary practical and theoretical skills can be acquired.

Stability and comfort of catamaran

Catamaran has two connected hulls for more stability. Though the principle on which a mono-hull and multihull sail is the same, the latter provides more stability, speed and comfort because of two hulls and two keels. When it comes to beam reach and downwind sailing, it sails faster than a mono-hull. A yacht is your perfect choice for a comfortable and easy going cruise for you, your friends and family. With 4 to 6 cabins that can accommodate 8 to 12 persons and a large main deck outside, catamaran will be the ideal choice.

Why rent a catamaran? If you like to sail, but also would love that extra space on board, catamaran charter Croatia is your best choice. We offer large selection of more than 600 different boats in all Adriatic sailing areas. With brands like Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Nautitech, Bali and Catana Cats for rent, our fleet consists of brand new catamarans  and well maintained older yachts with a good price.

Although these vessels are easier to maneuver in tight spaces thanks to their two engine setup, they are still much wider than regular monohulls, so they require special attention while in marinas. In general, these yachts are faster and more stable than regular sailboats, which is something that is appreciated by both families and professional sailors alike.

What I have to do to book a catamaran?

So, you need not plan big for a Croatia vacation or when you want to rent a catamaran, as rental prices are not exorbitant as they used to be. You just decide where you want to charter from, departure date, arrival date and your price range.

The Northern Dalmatia city of Zadar is a buzzing, cosmopolitan city that has been inhabited for at least 3,000 years. The Roman ruins (the Forum) date to just over 2000 years back, while the fine wines were well established locally long before they arrived!

Today, Zadar is widely held as the coolest city in Croatia with something for just about everyone. If round the clock hedonism is your thing, you'll find nightclubs with the world's top DJs pounding the night to dawn. If relaxation and rest from the world is your thing, the old town has lots to offer too. Both worlds meet at the beautiful waterfront where those waking up and those winding down can enjoy the sunset (and sunrise as the night owls start fading!). Those in between can enjoy some of the finest wines in the world and excellent restaurants as they choose.

With the marina a short hop from Zadar Airport, your Zadar catamaran charter has so much to offer as a launching point for a Croatia yacht charter! From the city you can explore the nearby Zadar archipelago and Kornati archipelago to your heart's content, mooring in quiet coves all to yourself and your fellow charter guests. Down the Croatian coast to the SE, Sibenik is close to a national park renowned for its waterfalls, a short walk from an inland waterway accessible on your luxury yacht. If beautiful beaches are your thing, you won't have to travel far, while fun holiday towns like Hvar and Trogir are fun for a great night out too.

Crewed Catamaran Charters from Zadar

You don't need to worry about qualifications or even sailing the boat in Croatia with Borrow a Boat! A Zadar crewed catamaran charter on a motor catamaran or sailing catamaran can mean you do as much or as little physically sailing the yacht as you like.

A skippered yacht charter will mean that the skipper will be aboard with their own cabin to attend to all your needs. A crewed yacht charter will involve one or two crew on the gulet who will cook, sail and make suggestions as to your best destinations on your sailing itinerary.

As to you? You can just enjoy the breezes and views, or if you fancy learning a bit about sailing, help the skipper or crew to get the boat from A-B.

A Zadar crewed yacht charter will cost a little more (typically €150 a day for a skipper and €100 per crew member) and it's the done thing to thank them with a tip at the end of the week.

Bareboat Catamaran Charter From Zadar

A bareboat catamaran charter will mean that you can take the yacht out on your own. Generally for vessels up to 20 metres LOA on a sailing license such as an RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 Bareboat certificate, you will have total responsibility for the yacht.

You will need to think about your itinerary, victualling, possible secondary ports should a marina be full, as well as issues like weather and mooring fees.

On a bareboat charter you will be asked to pay for insurance in the form of a security deposit on departure or through buying charter insurance before you go on your sailing holiday.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter In Zadar:

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below charter yacht types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the catamaran was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Types of Catamarans Available:

Sailing Catamarans: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious type of sailing boat, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter luxury yacht is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamarans: These motor yacht catamarans are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam of the motor boats also mean more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.

Catamaran Sailing Areas Itineraries From Zadar

On your crewed catamaran charter or bareboat charter you can explore the Adriatic coast or beautiful islands to your heart's content. Here we suggest a 7 day sailing holiday and a 14 day yacht charter holiday on your charter boat:

7 Days - Adriatic Coast and Islands: Split or Trogir will be your mid-point on this sailing holiday to the SE of Zadar. Via the Zadar Archipelago you will head to the Kornati Island group as a second night. Perhaps pausing for an evening to appreciate the Dragon's Eye of Rognozica, head on to Hvar, famed for its beaches and buzz. Marina Kastela near Trogir will allow you to visit Split, and then back via Sibenik and its beautiful national park to Zadar for handover.

14 Days - Dubrovnik and the Croatian Coast: Involving some longer legs, you will head SE, taking in the Kornati island group and Zadar archipelago before exploring the Dalmatian Islands and the ones off Dubrovnik before your SE end point at the ancient and beautiful city that once was capital of the Ragusan Empire. Coast hop NW via towns like Makarska and Trogir, perhaps spending an evening in Croatia's second city of Split on the way. Rognizica's famous Dragon's Eye and wild coast are an important stop as your continue north. Onward to Croatia's oldest city of Sibenik (Marina Mandalina is excellent) and another famed party town, Biograd as you come to the end of your Adriatic Coast and islands sailing holiday.

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will typically be able to take a bareboat charter out of Zadar (but it is worth checking as per above), these include Day Skipper ( sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

A highly recommended charter company from start to finish. We were warmly greeted and felt welcome.The boat corresponded to the description and the handover was problem-free. We had a lovely time and will happily charter a boat from Bruneko again. Special thanks to the two ladies at reception and to Edi!

It's not just about sailing. Not even in an environment like the Dalmatian islands, abundant in nature and historical heritage. It's about feeling good, safe, and accompanied at every moment. This has been the defining difference for me when evaluating my experience. This is the third time (the best one yet) we've conducted Team Building experiences for businesses, families, or groups of friends in the Adriatic in recent years, and I can only express my deepest gratitude to the entire Bruneko team. For us at Sail&Grow, having quality boats in all the sailing zones we operate in is essential. But it's even more vital that the yacht charter company aligns closely with our way of doing things. Good folks and folks who do good. This is Bruneko.

I chartered yacht Bavaria 34 NEO from Bruneko Company during my summer vacation. I am absolutely impressed and satisfied with literally everything. Contact with company before arrival was perfect, staff and positive attitude was more than I accepted. Boat Bavaria 34 NEO was new and astonishing. It wasn’t just regular charter boat, but it had really everything, including AC, lightening under the boat. All instruments on boat were new and in perfect shape. I am demanding customer but at that case I cannot say anything more except: THANK YOU BRUNEKO!!! And definitely see you next time.

I had an incredible experience with Bruneko Charter, particularly when chartering their catamaran, the Bali 4.2 named “Stairway to Heaven.” This catamaran exceeded all expectations with its remarkable spaciousness. It felt like a luxurious floating hotel room on the water. The abundance of space for sunbathing, complete with a grill for outdoor cooking, made the journey even more enjoyable. The generously sized kitchen and the spacious rooms added to the comfort and convenience of the trip. I was thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail and the high level of comfort provided by Bruneko Charter’s catamaran. It truly made for a memorable and unforgettable sailing experience. I want to give a big shoutout to the amazing Bruneko team! Seriously, from the second we hopped on the catamaran, we could feel their incredible dedication and professionalism. They were like sailing buddies who had our backs the whole way through!

This was my 5th charter with Bruneko over many years and if starting from Zadar again I will surely do the 6th one :) Well maintained boats, moderate prices and a very friendly staff is a visit card of Bruneko. They are focused on customers, and you may be sure to be treated well and fair. The base is perfectly located in Tankenkomerc marina, just 10 minutes’ walk from Zadar old town. See you again Vedran and Bruneko team!

This Charter is way beyond Croatia Charters standards. Very pro-client attitude in communication same as services. Modern equipment of boats same as overall technical condition. We had Elan E4 which I can absolutely recommend.

This was our second time on the “Stella Mare” from Zadar and we will certainly continue to charter with “Bruneko”. Although the marina tanker trade in Zadar is very tight, this is well compensated by the great helpfulness of the Bruneko crew. The entire Bruneko team is very professional, competent, stress-free ;-), friendly and helpful, from the initial telephone contact to the handover and return. Everything really worked to our satisfaction. The sailing yacht Elan E4 was made for us and was always in great condition. Everything was serviced and worked, and the yacht also has great sailing characteristics. As I said: again, at any time!

Christian G.

Thanks to the Bruneko Yacht Charter team for a perfect charter experience with the Elan Impression 40 “Fortiss”. The team is very professional, highly organized, and very helpful. It has been the best charter company I have chartered with so far (always bareboat). The crew and I were very positively surprised by the boat as a whole, but especially by the equipment and cleanliness. Gladly again!

WHEN TO CHARTER IN ZADAR

The charter season in Zadar begins in April and lasts until November. The sailing conditions are exquisite, and the weather is excellent all year round. We recommend booking your yacht charter in Zadar at the end of June and first 2 weeks of July, so you can enjoy ideal weather conditions.

The most popular time for a yacht charter in Zadar region is during the summer months i.e. between June and September. Summer in this region means that you will be blessed with 13 hours of sunshine per day and temperatures between 25 and 30 C ° (77-86 Fahrenheit).

The Mediterranean climate promises a dry and warm summer with winds of no more than 10-20 knots. The peak season for sailors is July and August, with an insanely high number of sunny days and a great number of yachts on the water, while June, September, and October offer equally satisfying sailing conditions but fewer crowds.

For a truly tranquil yacht charter in Zadar, April, May, and November are ideal for exploring the 300+ islands, islets, and reefs. Thanks to the low boat traffic, the underwater world is at its peak during these months. You will have the opportunity to explore the region in all its glory, without the summer crowds. Imagine waking up on your yacht in a peaceful, pristine bay and seeing curious dolphins jumping around your boat.

The winds are particularly reliable during the yachting season when local yacht lovers claim they can set their watch by relying on their frequency. The mistral wind blows during the day, peaking between 9 am and 12 pm, then taking a break for a couple of hours before returning at 3 pm (“after lunch”) for a few more hours until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze.

Yacht Charter in Zadar air temperature graph

Zadar has mild winters and warm summers, but the temperatures are never too extreme. In the yacht charter season from May to September, conditions are practically perfect – the temperature is somewhere between 20 and 25 C °   (68-77 Fahrenheit) which means swimsuits, light clothes and bare feet are the order of the day.

The Adriatic is very well protected and enclosed, so temperatures never drop below 15 degrees, and the sea is swimmable all year round. By the end of May, swimming in the sea becomes pleasant and refreshing at around 20 degrees, and by the end of August, at 25 degrees, it feels like you are swimming in a pool.

Zadar is a picturesque historical town in southwestern Croatia, considered to be located in the “Heart of Dalmatia”, with its roots dating back to the time of ancient Roman emperors.

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Zadar

There’s so much to see and so many places to visit from Zadar, that one week just isn’t long enough to see and visit them all. Most places you go, you’ll find unspoilt beaches, bays, cliffs and islands, along with idyllic little fishing and farming villages, so you can’t go too far wrong, even if you just follow your nose and decide spontaneously where to go.

Zadar - 6 day sailing itinerary

This route takes in a lot of the nearby islands and clocks in at 116 nautical miles – which works out at just under 20 nM a day. As you’ll likely be going at a pace of 5 knots or above, that means the sailing should only take 4-5 hours a day, which leaves plenty of time to go at a leisurely pace, to explore your start or end destinations in depth, or to take your time and bob into bays, swim on some beaches, practice man-overboard drills, or just relax.

As we’ll be spending a night in the Kornati marine national park, it’s worth buying an entry pass in advance (since the ticket inspectors will sting you for an extra 50%, and they patrol the islands every night). The unwritten rule is that you need a pass for every day that you’re in the national park after 4pm, so if you’re following our itinerary, a one day pass should suffice.  

Ist

From Zadar, we’re heading in a north-westerly direction. You’ll pass lots of other charter yachts heading other directions, but we’re heading off the beaten track to a small farming village on the island of Ist. The prevailing wind is landward from the sea, so it should be a simple reach or broad reach to sail there.

Ist is an island of vines and olive groves, as well as sandy beaches, and it’s a quiet and tranquil place to spend the night, even though there are ferry connections to other islands. There’s a couple of bars and a church, but essentially this is a place to get away from it all and to enjoy life on the ocean waves.  

Veli Iz

There are beaches on the south side of Molat, or you could pop into the town itself – which, oddly enough, was visited by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in 1939. But then we’re heading in a south-westerly direction, reaching against the prevailing wind as we follow the channels between the islands and to the east side of Iz.

Veli Iz is a small fishing village which also happens to have its own Roman fort and 14th century church. Founded by fishermen way back when, the village also has a number of decent seafood restaurants, and is famous for its decorative pottery (for which there is even a museum). Sadly, though there were 70 pottery companies on the island in bygone years, there is now only one left.  

Zut

You certainly need to stock up because Zut is out in the wilderness. Situated in a sheltered bay which has been used by sailors for centuries, the tourist board built a pontoon and walkway in the bay in recent years to make it easier for sailors to get to shore, and to increase the number of jobs on the island by 1200% - from 1 to 12 people.

When you moor up you’ll find a couple of small shops and bars or eateries (don’t rely on them to be open, just in case, but they’re good if they are), and not much else. It’s a very peaceful bay to spend the night in, and a very unspoilt island to explore.  

Piskera

There are beaches and bays to explore, and you’re allowed to walk on the islands if you dare to brave the heat. The view from the top of the hills is certainly quite special, but it can take a bit of effort to get there.

From Zut, we’re heading west (likely beating or close-hauled) to pass over the top of Kornati island - the biggest island in the national park – and following down it’s western coast in a south-easterly direction, probably in a broad reach against the prevailing summer wind. Enjoy weaving your way around the islands, finding beaches, bays and even bars on the largely unspoilt islands. You need to head slightly west to ensure that you hit the west coast of Piskera, but it is fairly straight-forward to find the well-sheltered marina and to moor up for the night.

Piskera is similar to Zut in that it is a marina which was built primarily to make the Kornati islands easier for sailors to explore, so you won’t find a town here – though you will find a restaurant, an over-priced shop (but heck, it’s in the middle of nowhere, so it can’t be easy to stock it up!) and modern toilet facilities. It should be another tranquil night, although the bar here can get quite lively if there are enough sailors in the marina.  

Murter

Starting in a south-easterly direction until we reach the southern tip of Kornati island, we then need to bear north-easterly to traverse across the channel to Murter. This should be a simple run with the prevailing wind, and you might be able to get away with a broad reach, but bonus marks are available if you manage to goose-wing your way back towards the mainland.

Murter is the largest town on the island of Murter (which isn’t really an island any more, since the arrival of a road connection to the mainland). Surrounded by brilliant beaches, it’s also popular with land-lubbing tourists, and there’s plenty of lively bars and restaurants along the waterfront, which will make a change of atmosphere from Piskera and Zut.

The best beaches are on the west coast, and you could anchor up here if you had time, or, if you fancy some exercise, you could walk to the top of the hill (where there is world war two military base) and enjoy watching the sun set over the Kornati islands.  

Milna

Working our way up the coast, we’ll sail past Biograd, which is one of the most popular charter bases in Europe, and the home to the biggest boat show in Croatia (check out our destination guide for Biograd if you want to find out more about it, but it’s not worth stopping there today as it will be busy with people returning their charter yachts).

Further up the channel is lovers island. This is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world. It was only really ‘discovered’ after the invention of Google Earth, but it’s now a romantic destination in it’s own right, and hundreds of people come and propose here each year. It’s a romantic place to go, and it’s traditional to loop around the island (or make a heart shape on your plotter if you’re skilled enough) if you’re going past it, and throwing a euro into the waters around here is supposed to sort out your love life.

Follow the coast further north and you’ll arrive back at Sukosan (the biggest marina in Croatia) or Zadar marina. You should refuel your yacht or catamaran before returning the boat to roughly the same space you took her from on day one. Someone will come and inspect the boat, but you’ll still be sleeping on her tonight.

If you’ve not had chance to visit the old town of Zadar, then now is a good time to go and see the 3,000 year old UNESCO world heritage site. Most bars near both marina’s will be lively with happy sailors recounting their adventures to anyone who will listen tonight, and it’s the last night of the holiday for so many people that it shouldn’t be difficult to find a lively atmosphere.

Hopefully you’ve been impressed by the sun, sea, sailing and general tranquillity of the Croatian islands, hopefully your crew all got on well together (and maybe there was a holiday romance?), and hopefully you’ve had a brilliant, enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Have a safe trip home, and, when you start to miss the sea and the sunshine, remember to visit PlainSailing.com to start planning your next epic adventure!

Sailing Conditions

Croatia Sailing - Wind Conditions

The winds are particularly reliable throughout the sailing season, when local sailors claim that they can set their watch by them: there are Mistral winds during the day which peak between 9am and mid-day, then take a break for a couple of hours, before returning (“after lunch”) for another few hours at 3pm until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze, if anything at all.

The daytime winds are usually Force 4 or Force 5, and their prevailing direction is landward, which is driven by the sun – as the land warms up and the air above it rises during the day, air is sucked from the sea. A little further out from the coast, and away from the Mistral winds, then the winds shoots down the Adriatic channel into the heart of the Mediterranean.

Zadar - Average Temperature

We use three marinas in Zadar, each offering excellent and modern facilities, and great levels of care for our guests.

If you're staying in the area before or after your charter, we can recommend these places that are close to Marina Zadar and D-Marin Borik - Prestige design rooms or El mirador rooms - or these places next to Sukosan - Hotel Joso or White Residence .

Marina Zadar

Marina Zadar is based right in the centre of town, which means it’s quite an atmospheric place to spend the night, and there’s plenty of bars and restaurants. The marina also boasts its own casino!

Marina Zadar

Marina Dalmacija, Sukosan

The recently built Marina Dalmacija is just 7km to the south of the historic old town (in the suburb of Sukosan), and, with space for 1,200 boats, is the biggest marina in Croatia. It has all the latest mod cons, including a swish beach bar and a waterfront restaurant with stunning decking over the sea.

Zadar Yacht Charter

In Croatia , luxury yacht charter groups intent on extensively cruising the coastline by motor yacht or sailing yacht always make sure to include Zadar as a destination, not only for its top quality marina facilities but for the incredible Venetian and Roman influences that mark its history, interspersed with an array of modern attractions.

A luxury yacht charter is the best way to pack in as much of Croatia within a week as possible: Unhindered by ferry times and the state of the roads, you are free to choose between cosmopolitan living and far-flung sandy islands that feature some of the most amazing caves and coastal features the Mediterranean has to offer. Zadar is an exemplary model of this, where the Old Town and Archaeological Museum provide thorough insight into life in Zadar in the past, and nearby island 'Dugi Otok' is a treasure trove of Scuba diving sites and pristine beaches with countless secluded anchorages.

Considered as Croatia’s cultural capital, holidaymakers and superyachts that wish to savour the full splendour and charm of the Eastern Adriatic Sea should include a day or two around Zadar in their Croatia yacht charter itineraries. For a full list of available Croatia luxury yachts cruising the seas around Zadar, contact CharterWorld.

More about this part of the Adriatic Sea

Plenty of superyachts and luxury travellers visit Zadar, especially during the summer months. This makes Zadar the unofficial converging point of yacht charter sailors and holidaymakers. Majority of tourists that come to Zadar are from Germany and the UK, and because of this, German and English are considered as the unofficial languages in Zadar.

The city lies on an important maritime route, making it a favourite jump-off point for tourists who want to spend their Croatian holiday on board a luxury motor yacht or sailing yacht of their choice.

Zadar is the perfect starting point for any yacht charter holiday in Croatia as you can conveniently set sail and reach other important tourist destinations in the region, including the cities of Rijeka and Dubrovnik. On top of this, Zadar is also an ideal jump-off point if you want to access Italy’s Ancona city, which lies on the opposite end of the Adriatic, and Venice to the north is another iconic city that many choose to include in the group's luxury yacht itinerary.

Moreover, with Italy on the western side of the Adriatic Sea, gelaterias, rich chocolates and some of its best and most iconic savoury dishes have integrated into modern Croatian culture, which has long had influences from Rome.

Zadar Yacht Charter Experiences

Zadar and the northern Istria coastal region provides a great sample of everything that is worthwhile and stunning about Croatia. A holiday in this popular yacht charter destination alone will almost be a complete experience of the best of authentic Croatia: A leisurely walk along the narrow Zadar streets is already an experience to remember, as you can already get a clear glimpse at the rich culture and history of Croatia. In Old Zadar there are Roman and Venetian landmarks teeming with opulence and grandiosity.

Notable landmarks and places with historical and cultural importance include the cathedral of St. Anastasia, the Roman Forum, the Archaeological Museum, Riva’s famed Sea Organ where music is made by the sea (be sure to pass by during the day and the evening), and the University.

A stroll through the city waterfront will also reveal numerous boutiques and market stall vendors selling authentic local crafts like woven textiles, handcrafted laces and traditional sleepers made from sheepskin. A more contemporary souvenir can be found in the galleries and jewellers before you head to the nearby islands for peace, quiet and the alluring beaches and coves just a short cruise away from the city. Dugi Otok stands out for its beautiful coastal caves, clear snorkel and Scuba diving sites and picture perfect villages set within a rugged pastoral landscape.

If you choose to venture farther inland, the Nacionalni Park Plitvička Jezera features numerous stunning waterfalls that have UNESCO World Heritage status.

Things to Consider:

Yachting seasons & climate:.

Zadar has hot summer with little to no rain and mild winters that are the most likely time of the year for rainfall, but still have enough dry days and indoor amusements to attract yacht charter groups. The sea temperatures are a warm 25°C/77°F during July and August where there is also the most daylight summer hours.

The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are also excellent for cruising as well as visiting the local villages and other land-based attractions, and at 17°C/63°F, guests can comfortably relax outdoors in the sunshine on the sundeck.

Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:

Away from the beaches visitors and locals typically opt for smart-casual attire, and visits to religious sites should cover thighs and shoulders - tank tops, short shorts and flip flops are generally not acceptable.

Air conditioned buildings can feel chilly after the hot summer outdoors and visitors might want to carry a long lightweight layer for this purpose, and to keep off the coastal winds after sundown.

Main Ports and Marinas:

Zadar Marina, Borik Marina, Dalmacija Marina, Kornati Marina

Famous Restaurants & Clubs

Kaštel Restaurant, Foša Restaurant

A Must See Attraction:

Museum of Illusions, Church of St. Donatus, Roman Forum, Archaeological Museum Zadar, Dugi Otok, Nacionalni Park Plitvička Jezera

Best beaches to visit in your yacht:

Prasna Beach, Dugi Beach, Brbinjšćica Bay

Local Yacht Events:

Easter Regatta, Kornati Cup, Croatia Coast Cup, Adriatic Regatta

Best time to go:

Summer is the Mediterranean yacht charter season and it peaks around July and August, however as Croatia has warm temperatures from May until October, the shoulder seasons are just as viable for those looking to avoid the crowds.

However, July and August have the most sunshine hours and warm sea temperatures hovering around 24°C/75°F, making it ideal for groups with young children and those who have an aversion to cold. If you ever want a moment to yourself, simply sail off to the islands and relax on a fine sand beach.

Climate and Zadar boat trips sailing season

Keep in mind the climate of Croatia when planning for a sailing vacation, as the weather can impact the time of year when you book your trip. The best time of year to rent a boat in Zadar is the spring months of April, May, and June, or the fall months of September and October. The Mediterranean waters are calm and the overall weather is warmer during these spring and fall seasons. Because of its close proximity to Croatia’s national parks, we highly suggest visiting during these mild months so you can spend more time outside sightseeing and enjoying everything you came to do in Zadar.

For those who love the great outdoors, you can take advantage of the city's close proximity to three of Croatia’s beautiful national parks, or hike along the nearby islands just off the Dalmatian coast. Whatever you choose to do on land in Zadar, you’re sure to have a memorable experience in one of Croatia’s hidden gems.

With a sailing holiday, you can explore the entire Adriatic coast, leaving you with unforgettable memories.

How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Zadar?

As you search through yachts on Scansail, you will find a range of prices.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

It is possible to book a private yacht without a skipper, however, having one on board can provide many benefits to your overall experience. For example, a skipper will take care of the sailing, docking and anchoring of your vessel. This will leave you with more time to relax and enjoy the sights of the Zadar archipelago. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the region, so they will ensure that you see the very best beaches and attractions. Ultimately, a skipper will help you have a more luxurious experience.

What to do in Zadar?

Centre of zadar.

Zadar is a city with a 3,000-year-long history. In Roman antiquity, it became an urban centre and remained so for two millennia. Its alleys, squares, seawall, churches and monumental heritage reveal the city's antiquity and continuity at every turn, while its modern facilities show the vision of modernity and inspire new travellers. You can take a journey through time by visiting the Roman Forum and diving deep into the history of Croatia. You can also visit the Church of St Donatus from the 9th century. The church is the largest pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

Veli Rat lighthouse

Want to reach high and enjoy unforgettable views? Then you must marvel at the tallest lighthouse on the Adriatic locally. The 42-metre-high structure is located just 35 kilometres west of the city of Zadar on the north west cape of the island of Dugi Otok. Fun fact: The lighthouse's specific bright yellow colour is because 100,000 eggs were mixed into it during construction.

Are you a fan of art? Then we recommend visiting this architectural object that is simultaneously an experimental musical instrument. Located in the western part of the Zadar peninsula in Croatia, the Sea Organ consists of a group of pipes running under a large marble staircase. The sea waves create air pressure that produces random but quite harmonically arranged sounds in the pipes.

Kornati Islands

Are you attracted to pristine islands with a dreamy character? Sail to the Kornati Islands, where you will find 140 uninhabited islands. You can begin your journey from Marina Borik or Zadar Marina and then navigate with your boat rental to the islands. Circling around these islands with your private yacht charter is a great opportunity to see all the fantastic bays and rocky cliffs of the landscape. Make sure to take your snorkelling goggles! The crystal clear waters offer a great chance to admire the unique marine life of the area that hides within the caves and grottoes.

Explore nearby destinations on your private yacht charter

One of the many advantages of chartering a yacht in Zadar is that there are so many beautiful destinations nearby. This way, if you have the time, we highly recommend island hopping or taking several days to explore more of the Mediterranean! For example, you can of course travel west until you reach the eastern coast of Italy. Alternatively, if you have more time, you can head south to the Ionian Sea and visit southern Italy or Greece. No matter where you decide to go, you are sure to have an unforgettable boating holiday!
