Yacht Charter Split

Split is one of the most popular yacht charter bases in Croatia. A major tourist, commercial and cultural center, it is located in central Dalmatia and is the second largest city in Croatia.

From Split you can sail south to the islands of Brac, known for its Zlatni Rat Beach, long and pebbly; Hvar, the Adriatic’s glitzy party island which has a great culinary scene and Vis, with its Roman ruins and crystalline waters. Peace and quiet is nearby too with many hidden coves and sandy beaches to anchor in.

Dating back to ancient times, there are a number of archaeological, historical and cultural monuments and museums. Diocletian’s Palace is not to be missed. Recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, it was constructed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian and was an opulent and heavily fortified palace fronting the sea. It now forms about half the old town of Split.

For hiring a vessel from Split, there is a choice of four marinas: ACI Marina Split, Zenta Marina, Spinut Marina and Poljud Marina. The area around Split is well known by sailors as the ideal starting point for yacht rentals in Croatia. The Dalmatian islands are all easily accessible from here and all types of vessels are available for hire: sailing boats, motor boats and catamarans. In Split we also offer gullets, as well as crewed luxury motor yacht charters.
