sailboat charter split

With Split Luxury Yacht Charter Guide we are taking you to the serene islands of the Split Archipelago, like Biševo with its famous Blue Cave, southern shores of Vis, Pakleni islands and Hvar

Split, as well as the entire Adriatic coast, is blessed by the mild Mediterranean climate, which means a lot of sun and heat, especially in the summer months, and very few cold and rainy days. Although there is a whole range of things you can do in Split throughout the year, such as the obligatory walk through the UNESCO-protected Diocletian’s Palace, if you love hubbub, parties and concerts, this enchanting city should definitely visit in the heart of the season.

Climate and ideal time to visit Split

In July and August, all of Split seems to be dressed summer dresses, just in time for the world-famous Ultra Europe festival (July 8-10, 2022). On the other hand, those who are into more romantic experiences will surely be delighted by the spring face of Split and the surrounding islands, which seem to wake up around Easter, as do most travel agencies, cafes and restaurants , opening their doors and welcoming first visitors.

However, it should be emphasized that for many September, and more often October, are the most desirable part of the year to visit Croatia and Split, as in pre- and post-season there are no crowds, prices are lower, and weather and sea temperatures are still pleasant for all sea-related activities.

Throughout this summer half of the year, an extremely large number of visitors decide to charter a yacht in Split because the Split area is one of the top charter destinations in Croatia .

Marinas and berths in Split archipelago

Split yacht charter is extremely popular because of the many magical surrounding destinations, but also because some of the most beautiful Croatian marinas are located in this part of the Adriatic.

ACI marina Split

split luxury yacht charter guide aci marina

The city of Split is dotted with many small, local marinas, but with 320 berths by far the most visited is ACI Marina Split (+385 (0) 98 398 850) which offers much-needed parking sports for yacht owners. In case you are looking for parking in and around ACI Marina Split, first look inside the marina.

One very attractive anchoring spot near Split is the Blue Lagoon, which is located between Veliki and Mali Krknjaš, and the much larger Veli Drvenik.

Marina Martinis Marchi

Maslinica island of Solta Split luxury yachts charter guide

ACI marina Milna

On the island of Brač , the largest nautical center is the deep Milna cove with three marinas: ACI marina Milna (+385 (0) 98 398 851) with 170 berths, Yacht club Milna (+385 (0) 91 400 04 87) with 45 berths and Marina Vlaška (+385 (0) 99 244 7410) with 70 berths. Apart from Milna, the nearby Brač Yachting Anchorage Bobovišća (+385 (0) 91 500 1619) is also becoming increasingly popular, where you can book your place on the buoy in advance.

ACI marina Palmižana

aci marina palmizana hvar charter

Pakleni islands off the coast of Hvar seem to have been created for anchoring, as was the nearby ACI Marina Palmižana (+385 (0) 21 744 995) with 180 berths. The nearby Vinogradišće cove offers the possibility of buoy berths (concessionaire Đenko Meneghello +385 (0) 91 171 82 42), and in addition to providing protection from almost all winds except the south, is locally famous for a spectacular number of excellent restaurants to visit by boat .

Anchorages on Vis island

If you are aiming towards Vis, make sure to stop at Budikovac, beloved for its turquoise lagoon whose depth rarely exceeds 2 meters. One of everyone’s favorite coves on the island is Stončica, where buoys have been set up to welcome yachts, and the same concessionaire (Gradina Vis +385 (0) 21 711 121) offers buoys in the town of Vis, where boaters have 100 berths at their disposal.

Budikovac island Vis Luxury Yacht Charter Guide

In Komiža, 30 boats can be moored on the waterfront (SDZ Port Authority +385 (0) 21 339 825), and 60 buoys have been set up in Komiža Bay (Komiža Nautical Center +385 (0) 21 713 215). Contact the Komiža Nautical Center if you decide to visit the Mezoporat cove on the island of Biševo, where 20 buoys have also been set up.

Yachting routes that pass through the Split waters are by far the most popular on the Adriatic due to the magnetic attraction of this part of the Croatian Adriatic and the fabulous pearl-like islands that surround this city – Hvar , Pakleni islands, southern coast of Vis, Blue Cave on the island of Biševo. Gather your crew, opt for Split luxury yacht charter and direct your bow to the south.

Island of Brač

Along the way, many boaters want to swerve a little toward the island of Brač and the deep Milna cove, whose Italian name valle di mille navi is due to its legendary depth and the ability to host a thousand ships. Those who want to experience the local atmosphere of a small island town can spend their first night in Bobovišće cove where most boats moor, while lovers of calm, picturesque nature can sail to the southern shores of this stunning island.

Island of Šolta

island of solta croatia

If your cruise hasn’t started in Šolta, make sure you visit the island as the icing on the cake of your Split yacht charter. This island has similar yachting attributes as the neighboring Brač, but is much smaller and isolated. On island of Šolta , the most desirable destination among boaters is Maslinica, an authentic fishing village that today shines with new splendor and is the proud home of the most beautiful Croatian boutique marina Martinis Marchi .

We also warmly recommend a visit to the picturesque town of Stomorska or the turquoise southern coves that maintain a certain wild feeling to them and are ideal for all fans of intimate lovers of more mysterious moments.

Hvar and Pakleni Islands

town hvar yacht charter

Many boaters who opt for an early check-in during their Split yacht charter immediately decide to cover about twenty-five miles and conquer Pakleni islands, and spend time exploring this enchanting archipelago counting 21 islands, islets and cliffs. Pakleni islands – which sounds like hell islands in Croatian – do not justify their name and are actually as peaceful as you can imagine, seeing how they are actually named after a wood resin – paklina – found around here.

The largest island in this archipelago is St. Clement, and with no southerly wind all of its southern coves are true oases of beauty and pleasure. Stretching west to east, the spacious Soline, the turquoise Taršće, the slightly smaller Stari Stani and the most popular Vinogradišće coves lure with their charms.

On this list is also the too popular Stipanska cove on the islet of Marinkovac, whose vibrant and loud nightlife might not be everyone’s cup of tea. In any case, St. Clement is serene, criss-crossed with trekking paths that connect all its bays and are a great opportunity for an hour or two spent in nature.

hvar pakleni islands croatia boat charter

Should you want a stronger ‘connection’ to the land, either due to unfavorable weather conditions or just in case, ACI Marina Palmižana and the northern shores of St. Clement are only a few miles away, and the mesmerizing beauties of Hvar are at your fingertips.

You can stay in this micro area of Hvar for several days, just like many local families have been doing for decades, but it would be a real shame no to go farther and get to know the entire island.

Vis and beautiful beaches

The southeastern side of Vis and a range of incredibly beautiful islands are only a dozen nautical miles away. We suggest that you first drop your anchor in Stončica, a sandy cove with turquoise water, and take a walk to the nearby lighthouse, among the beautiful in the Adriatic. In its immediate vicinity to the east lies Smokova cove, where even in the high season there aren’t too many boats, and which is known as an ideal destination for playing picigin, a highly addictive local ball game.

Later, you can visit the other sandy haven on the island – the nearby Zaglav cove, where you can indulge in a dive among the many fan mussels, allow yourself to be charmed by the surrounding turquoise or bask in the sun lying on the fine sand that this uninhabited cove is famous for. Right around the corner lies the town of Rukavac, whose northern side is covered in rocky shores, and whose much gentler southern side is a haven with white pebble beaches, like the beloved Tepluš beach. Both sides are suitable for anchoring (in the absence of southerlies) and are separated by a stone pier suitable for docking for vessels with shallow draft.

In case the weather forecast is favorable, spend the night in the turquoise lagoon that mourns the island of Budikovac. This island is a unique microcosm that doesn’t lose its peculiar character even at the peak of the yachting season. A local celebrity Andro Slavić lives in Budikovac all year round, where he has a real small ranch and a uniquely imaginative restaurant.

The next day, as soon as the sun approaches its zenith, let the magical colors of the Green Cave on the neighboring island of Ravnik spill over you. After that, visit another island delight – Srebrna beach, whose name – silver – is a misnomer, as the this cove boasts the most beautiful white pebble beach.

Sailing along the southern shores of Vis in the direction of sunset, you’ll find it hard to choose where to drop your anchor. Ruda cove lures with its almost Caribbean shades of blue, Mala and Vela Travna with imaginative configurations of rocky shores and silky miniature pebble bottoms, and the famous Stiniva is a true masterpiece of Mother Nature. This ‘cove in a cove’ is reminiscent of an exclusive pool, open 24/7 for the lucky ones.

Town Komiza Vis Luxury Yacht Charter Guide

Spend the night in the picturesque fishing village of Komiža if the sky is not frowning from the west, which is usually a sign of bad weather. Drop your anchor at the waterfront or tie your vessel to one of the many buoys, but wherever you stay, make sure you leave Komiža exactly as you found it.

Visit local beaches around Komiža, walk to the most impressive symbol of the town – the church of St. Nicholas, and if you want a unique adventure, rent a bike and conquer the steep, steep road to one of the most spectacular Adriatic lookouts, from where you’ll be able to chose where to turn your bow next. Vis luxury yacht charter is a ideal mixture of magical beaches, pristine nature and delicious local cuisine.

Biševo and Blue cave

biševo island split luxury yacht charter

You can complete your cruise with a visit to the magical Biševo island and the beautiful Blue Cave. A visit to this island some 40 miles toward the open sea almost always remains imprinted into the visitors’ minds ss one of the most beautiful memories from their Split yacht charter, which is why this very special, almost zen destination, deserves a special full-length feature.

Split first came to prominence in around AD 295 when the Roman Emperor Diocletian ordered a palace built there. Diocletian's Palace remains an important part of the city to this day even after a number of other empires have ruled over the city over the last two Millennia.

The Venetians owned Split over the city for more than 350 years, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the French and then of course Tito’s Yugoslavia until the late 1980’s. Diocletian’s Palace remains an important part of the city, untouched in the civil war and the destruction of Yugoslavia in the early 1990’s. As such this historic port is an almost unspoiled Mediterranean port that is worthy of a stay for a day or two, even before heading off on a luxury yacht charter.

Explore Split By Renting A Boat or Yacht

You can sail to Brac Island and Solta Island that lie an easy few hours sailing away from the ACI Marina Split, and can give you a taste of the best the Adriatic has on offer shortly after leaving port and an easy shakedown cruise on the sailing yacht. Another historic port on the Dalmatian Coast is Trogir, again a short day sail from the city along the bay.

On a typical sailing holiday you can mix and match between cities and towns, laid back anchorages and busy marinas as you go, taking in everything from barbecues on deserted beaches to full blast nightlife the feeling takes you.

Thanks to its position in the middle of the Adriatic Coast, Split is a great place to start a yacht charter heading south through the islands and along the Croatian coast towards Dubrovnik. Many a yacht charter up the Adriatic Sea is a one way trip, taking in the islands to the west as you hop from port to anchorage on your journey.

Skippered and fully crewed yacht charters also follow this route, with you just a passenger while taken by sea to some of the best spots known to those running the boat.

The holiday hotspot of Hvar is just a couple of days’ sailing from Split too. You will encounter the best nightlife in the region as well as some fantastic beaches. On an itinerary such as this you would loop back to Split at the end of your trip.

Heading north, Kornati Island is a national park with unique geology and wildlife, and are worth a visit for a day or more.

Around 50% of the marinas in Croatia are run by the state-owned ACI Marina company. These are of a good standard, though you should be aware that on some of the remoter islands shore power and water might be limited. ACI Split is where most sailboat charters leave from, though Trogir Marina is not far from Split Airport – you can include Split as part of your planned itinerary from there.

Where you can sail to or hire a boat to travel in the nearby area

If you have an eight day yacht charter (Saturday to Saturday) then you can head south to Dubrovnik and loop back or north to the Pula peninsula and return.

On a bigger, faster vessel like a motor boat or superyacht you could visit much of the coast of Croatia from north to south – it isn’t a very big country, though there are 2,000 islands to visit!

How To Get To Split

There are regular flights from several British airports to Split.

Travel routes to get there.

From the UK you can fly direct from Bristol, Belfast, Glasgow, London (Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton), Newcastle, and Manchester. It is also possible to fly to Venice and then on to Split from there.

The airport is 23km from the main city and a taxi costs around £30 for the trip. There are shuttle buses into the city centre from the airport too – these can save you money but you will still have to get from the bus station to the ACI Marina Split for the sailboat charter.

Suggested Sailing Routes From Split

Broadly there are two ways you can take a charter out of Split. The first is a one-way trip south to Dubrovnik, taking in the islands and coastline as you go.

The second is a loop route. Heading south over 6-8 days it is possible to head down to Dubrovnik and then island hop north via Vis island, Hvar Town and Stari Grad, either staying on a mooring buoy or going alongside at a town quay as you head back to Split.

Heading north you can take in the Kornati Island national park and head as far north as the original Dalmatian capital of Zadar before looping back south.

Trogir Marina is a little closer to Split Airport than ACI Split so you could include the city as a stop on similar routes north or south.

A typical day’s sail could be up to 35 miles though can be as few as 15. On a sailing monohull this would amount to 3-7 hours sailing daily though on a quick motor yacht you can cover a greater distance and spend more time exploring ashore.

Types Of Boats and Yachts To Hire In Split

Broadly there are four types of boat you can hire in Split – the motor cruiser, monohull sailboat , catamaran and speedboat.

Ranging from a 50 metre-plus fully crewed superyacht to a 15 metre bareboat, motor cruisers are a comfortable and fast way of getting around the coast and islands of Croatia. The larger ones will have all manner of toys from jet skis to racing yachts aboard, and plenty of entertainment space to enjoy sunsets (and sunrises!) in good company.

Monohull sailing boat

The workhorse of the sailboat charter fleet, monohull sailboats do the job in comfort – though not at a ripping pace. Better at getting to windward than a sailing catamaran, you’ll likely find yourself under sail more often on a loop route than on a cat. Don’t expect to get anywhere in a hurry, but that’s part of the fun of sailing! Available for as little as €120 a day at the basic end you can have a great sailing holiday for a group of six adults at a good price – though you can pay a lot more for extra comfort and space.

Sailing catamaran

Much quicker downwind than a monohull, sailing catamarans can be fun and fast – but extremely comfortable and spacious at the same time. Expect en suite heads in every cabin and plenty of entertainment space below. The twin engines will more than make up for the leeway that makes these less handy to windward.

Not for spending the night on, speedboats are still a fun way to explore the Croatian coastline and islands. You can hire one for a day or half-day and blast about the sea, enjoying the sunshine and cool sea breezes with the wind in your hair.

Do you need a licence to hire a Yacht or Boat in Split

If you are on a skippered or crewed yacht charter you do not need a license to charter a boat out of Split. You also don’t require a license for smaller speedboats. However if you are on a bareboat charter you will need a license of sorts. Accepted licenses include:

The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) - European and South African sailors

Qualifying national sailing certificates for the icc.

Day Skipper

Coastal Skipper

Yachtmaster

American Sailing Association

ASA 104 Bareboat certificate

International Proficiency Certificate

Bareboat Cruising

Sail Canada

Intermediate Cruising Standard or Advanced Cruising Standard

Best Times To Hire A Yacht In Split

The sailing holiday season in Split runs from April to October. Marinas charge around 20% extra in July and August and can be very busy – if you can avoid these months then it will be cheaper and quieter.

It can be very hot in the summer months too with the odd day in the high 30s or above. The sea is very warm in August, getting up to 25 degrees C.

Weather can change quickly so do keep your wits about you. As always be aware of the local forecast for the coming 24 hours.

Sailing Weather In Split

April and may.

Expect occasional rainy days but temperatures between 22-28C and up. Winds will be NW, 10-20kts

June-August

Very little rain if any. Temperatures from 26C and up to the mid 30s. Wind NW 10-20kts

September-October

It rains more in October and the temperature falls away to 10 degrees C as a minimum, though it can get up to 20C on an autumn day. Winds can get up to 20kts

Cost of hiring Yachts and Boats in Split

A motor cruiser can cost from €400 a day for a 12 metre boat though this can reach €600 a day in summer. If you have €37,000 a day you can hire a superyacht that comes with crew, tenders and toys.

Catamarans will cost from €500 a day in low season up to €5000 a day for a luxury end one in high season.

Monohull sailing yachts can cost as little as €120 a day though in high season the same vessel will cost €200 or more.

Speedboats with no sleeping cabin can cost as little as €50 for a half day.

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

We are confident that our prices are the most competitive and transparent in the market.

We won't charge any booking fees when you make a booking with us.

We have the highest number of verified and vetted boats available on the market.

Sailing in Split is a lot of fun - tourists flocking here from all over the world is proof of that. Sailing in crystal clear waters, stopping by incredibly beautiful bays and discovering this part of Croatia by boat is definitely a fun thing to do. However, there is more to discover in Split!

Activities in Split

  • Snorkeling in Split has to be on the bucket list of your sailing vacation. Charter a boat and discover some of the most beautiful spots for underwater life in Croatia. One of the most famous spots near Split is Korčula .
  • Rent a pair of jet skis in Split if you want to have a bit of fun after relaxing on deck of your boat rental all day long.
  • Rent a boat in Split to sail around the hidden bays, the many stunning beaches and lagoons. If you are more interested in the sailing experience than the destination, renting a sailboat might be the best option for you.
  • Hike Marjan’s loop if you want to discover Split from a different perspective. It’s a two-hour hike that takes you through some of the most alluring nature surrounding Split before reaching the highest point of this part of Croatia. If you want a bit more of a challenge, we would recommend you to hike Vidova Gora on the island of Brač , not far from Split. Sailing to the island from Split, it is the perfect route to discover this part of the Adriatic sea and include a bit of a different experience to your sailing holiday.
  • Visit Krka National Park to spot waterfalls and castles. Located north of Split, it is the perfect destination for a daytrip.
  • ‘The Eye of the Earth’ is a stunning natural water source that is used as drinking water for the Dalmatian hinterland - so although it is indeed tempting to jump in for a dip, it is not recommended. Besides that the temperatures reach only 7 degrees.
  • No trip to Split is complete without visiting the historical town of Split. Palazzo di Diocleziano and the Cathedral of St Domnius are just two of the sites you should visit while roaming around the city.

Beaches in Split

Sailing in Split means having plenty of opportunities to discover the stunning beaches. Whether you want to join the locals for a quick dip, explore more remote beaches away from the crowds or stunning rock formations, Split has it all! There are many superb beaches that have been awarded the Blue Flag distinction for upholding strict environmental standards, including family-friendly Bačvice beach.

  • Bačvice Beach might not be the prettiest beach there is, but it is where the locals go. It is safe, relatively quiet and located super close to the city centre.
  • Sail to Beach Stobrec Jug for a bit of a different experience. Enjoy a quiet swim on this pebble beach away from the masses.
  • Firule Beach is definitely one of Split’s most beautiful beaches. While the beach is surrounded by trees and nature, there are some facilities offering refreshing beverages and public restrooms. This makes it the perfect spot to stop by with your kids.

Parties and Boat Parties in Split

Famous for its parties, Split also offers a lot of different locations for boat parties - if you don’t want to throw one on your own boat rental. Many companies offer party cruises from Split you wouldn’t want to miss if you want to have a wet sailing adventure full of booze.

Restaurants in Split

One of the most beautiful things about Split is that you can find the most delicious seafood here. Fresh from the sea and directly to your plate, you will enjoy many local dishes in some super casual as well as high class restaurants.

Casual dining in Split:

  • Kantun Paulina : If you’re travelling on a bit of a budget, but want to enjoy fantastic food, you need to pay a visit to Kantun Paulina. This place is particularly famous for its Cevapi. Savour the bread that has been described as a dream by many customers.
  • Makedonska Kuca : Big portions, cheap prices. This is exactly what you’re getting at Makedonska Kuca. Try some of the most delicious Macedonian food you ever tasted. Nothing better than fueling your energy after a long day of sailing around the Croatian coast in Split.

Fine dining in Split:

  • Konoba Nikola is one of the fine dining restaurants in Split you shouldn’t miss. It is a fresh fish restaurant offering the most delicious local dishes. The tuna and the scampi carpaccio are all-time favourites.
  • ZOI : A Michelin star restaurant, located in the centre of Split, that will leave you wishing for more. ZOI means ‘life’ in Greek and the food here is exactly going to make you feel like you’re living your best life. Overlook the harbour while sipping on a local wine and eating the freshest seafood around.

Bars and Clubs in Split

As many other popular sailing destinations like Ibiza and Mykonos, Split is also known for its fun and sometimes a little extravagant nightlife. Get all dressed up and sip a delicious, colourful cocktail in one of Split’s many elegant bars? Hang out with your friends for a casual beer? Shake your booty in one of the world’s most renown clubs? Split has it all!

  • NOOR Fine Spirits & Cocktails : Describing themselves as ‘probably the biggest small bar in the world’, this establishment introduces you to exquisitely presented cocktails in the most elegant location.
  • ShotGun Shooters Bar : Most famous for offering a large variety of shots, you might find yourself holding onto the door late at night. You will definitely celebrate a night worth remembering - or not!
  • Judino Drvo Club : Local DJs bring you the best electronic music to dance the night away in one of Split’s most popular clubs.

Explore historical Split

Everyone needs a break from sailing around the stunning coast and sunbathing all day. Why not head into the historical centre of Split to discover some of the most incredible historical sites you can spot. Visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius to discover more of Croatia’s Catholic history and Roman past. It is said to be the oldest cathedral in the world that is still in use today for services etc. Climb up the dome for a panoramic view of the city. Diocletian's Palace is worth a visit if you want to experience Roman history outside of Italy. Built at the turn of the fourth century, its structure and magnificence can still be seen today.

Discover mystical Split

Split may not be known for its mythological history, but you can find a Sphinx, a classical symbol of Egyptian mythology, in front of the Cathedral of Saint Domnius . Dating back as far as Pharaoh Thutmose III, it is considered one of the oldest objects to be found in Split. There is an urban legend about Cornelius Vanderbilt of the famous American Vanderbilt family going around in regards to the Sphinx. Apparently he tried to purchase it, but was declined.

Sailing conditions in Split

Sailing lovers from all over the world flock to this picturesque town in Croatia to go on a sailing holiday. It’s not just to see the beauty of Split, it is also due to the ideal sailing conditions in this part of Croatia.

On average you will get 315 sunny days per year in Split. During peak season between May and November, you will get sunny weather, mild temperatures and ideal winds for sailing. In the summer months June, July and August temperatures generally range from 26 to 30 degrees, making it ideal for a summer vacation.

However, if you are looking at sailing in Split in lower season, you need to be aware that the weather can change drastically from one moment to the next. We would therefore only recommend more experienced sailors to venture out into the Croatian Mediterranean in the months between December and April.

Three winds dominate this part of Croatia. The Bura, a north-easterly dry, but cold wind that moves from land to sea; the Sirocco, a warm, but humid wind that is generally responsible for a rougher sea; and the Maestral, which is part of the natural phenomenon when the land heats faster than the sea and is then transporting that warmer air out into the sea.

Tides are normally quite low (rarely higher than 0,5 meters) which is important to consider if anchoring in shallow waters.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Split?

The cost of renting a boat in Split can vary highly depending on the type of boat you are looking at renting, whether it is high or shoulder season, how many rooms the boat has, how old the boat is, what kind of budget you are handling and so on. On average you can rent a speedboat in Croatia for as little as 28 EUR per person per day and a speedboat for about 35 EUR per person per day. Other types of boats are more expensive. At an average price of 460 EUR per person per day, the catamaran is, on average, possibly the most expensive type of boat to rent here. On average a gulet would cost you around 75 EUR per person per day, a houseboat is 80 EUR per person per day and a motorboat 61 EUR per person per day. If you’re looking at renting a sailboat, the most popular type of boat in Split, it costs about 225 EUR per person per day.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Split?

There is not THE best boat to rent, only the best boat for your sailing vacation in Split. Depending on whether you want to go on a proper sailing adventure where the experience matters more than the destination or if you just want to rent a boat to find the best beaches, you are looking at different types of boats.

Rent a catamaran in Split

Pros of renting a catamaran in Split

Catamarans are the perfect vehicle to sail in shallow waters. Instead of a keel, they have a shallow draft, which means that you can anchor closer to the shore to swim to some of the most beautiful beaches or to sunbathe in waters that are not as exposed to the wind as open waters. This makes it also the perfect boat to jump right into the water whenever you feel like it.

As catamarans are often more of a luxury option when sailing on water, some might compare them to little hotels on water. If you are up for a sailing adventure, but prefer some of the amenities a typical hotel holiday has to offer, a catamaran charter might be the best option for you.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Split

Standing on two hulls makes catamarans a lot more stable than other types of boats, but also bigger. This might impose a few difficulties on you if you are looking at mooring your boat in a marina. Spaces are usually scarce. Mooring big catamarans often costs more than mooring other types of water vessels.

Rent a sailboat in Split

Chartering a sailboat is one of the most popular options for a sailing holiday in Split. There are plenty of good reasons why this is the case!

Pros of renting a sailboat in Split

Ideal wind conditions lend themselves to the fact that renting a sailboat is one of the most popular options for many tourists visiting this part of Croatia. You get the actual sailing experience rather than just hopping from island to island to enjoy the most beautiful beaches, caves and lagoons. Another pro is the fact that you move with the wind, meaning that you save on the costs for fuel and sail more environmentally friendly. In this day and age it is truly worth considering.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Split

You are 100% dependent on the weather when sailing on a sailing boat in Split. Although many modern sailing boats come with an engine, many older models are not equipped with one. If the wind seizes to blow as much as you would hope, you might find yourself stuck in the middle of the Adriatic. This can be disappointing - especially if you only have a week of vacation to sail around this part of Croatia.

Charter a sailboat in Split

Rent a motorboat in Split

Pros of renting a motorboat in Split

One of the biggest advantages of renting a motorboat is their shallow frame which allows you to anchor closer to the shore than with a sailing boat for example. This comes in especially handy if you look at stopping by some of the stunning beaches and hidden bays that you can discover from Split. Additionally, they are much faster vehicles than some of the other types of boats you can rent in Split, making it the perfect water vessel if you’re aiming at seeing as much as possible within a short period of time.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Split

The speed of motorboats comes at a price. At first glance they might not be the most expensive option, but the faster you sail around Split, the more you will have to pay for fuel. Not necessarily budget-friendly.

Rent a gulet in Split

Chartering a gulet might not be the first choice for everyone, but there are many positive aspects when it comes to renting a gulet in Split.

Pros of renting a gulet in Split

Renting a gulet is not for the fainthearted. Charter a gulet in Split if you are looking for an once in a lifetime adventure! Wake up in a different location every morning and experience what life is like on a boat. Although there are many different kinds of gulets, including luxury options, you cannot compare it with a stay in a hotel room. This makes it a huge plus for all adventurers out there.

Due to its space, gulets are often rented for groups of 10-15 people or more. If you are looking at an adventurous sailing vacation in Split with all your friends, this might be the perfect option. Don’t worry if you are not in possession of a valid international boat licence. You can always rent a gulet with an experienced skipper.

Cons of renting a gulet in Split

Only rent a gulet in Split if you are up for the challenge. Rooms in gulets are generally small. If you are feeling irritable in small spaces, this type of vessel is probably not for you. Other than that, gulets are perfect boats for a week of sailing.

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in Split?

Renting a boat in Split and all of Croatia means that you need to possess a valid boat licence - including a VHF radio licence . This is not just a recommendation, it is Croatian law.

Don’t have a boat licence? Don’t worry! Book a boat in Split with an experienced skipper who will take care of maneuvering the boat, showing you the best spots away from the tourist crowds and most of them even have the most interesting stories to tell.

Sailing routes in Split

Start your sailing adventure in Split by picking up your boat from one of the many marinas. Start with some island hopping around Split on the island of Brac – anchoring in Bol, Milna or Bobovisca Bay. Then go to Zlatni Rat Beach , one of Europe’s most breathtaking beaches. If you love nature, you will be pleased to know that there are several opportunities for hiking and sightseeing. Next head to the vibrant island of Hvar , where you can enjoy great bars, lovely beaches and vineyards. Anchor in the stunning marina on the island of Palmizana . This nature park is just a five-minute sail or water taxi away. Continue south to reach the island of Korcula , which is well known for its charming Venetian Old Town and rich cultural traditions. From Korcula, make your way back to Split’s marina or continue on to the green island of Mljet , past the Elaphiti Islands and make your way to Dubrovnik, another stunning town located in the Adriatic sea.

From the islands of Solta and Brac to the World Heritage City of Trogir, there are many great destinations to visit that are just a stone’s throw (or about 15-30 nautical miles) away, making for some great day trips from Split.

One of the most popular day trips is sailing from Split to the island of Hvar , where you can anchor in some of the most stunning bays in all of the Dalmatian coast. Dubovica Beach and Jagodna Beach are just two of the incredible beaches you can visit on your trip there.

  • Sailing from Split – 7-day itinerary

Explore the sunniest part of Croatia with the most beautiful islands in the world. Central Dalmatia is rich in stunning bays, romantic and touristic beaches, medieval towns, and unspoiled places. A week-long holiday won’t be enough for you to explore it all. The following sailing itinerary is a sneak peek of what is ahead of you during your 7-day sailing trip south of Split.

As soon as you get your boat in Split (for example, in ACI marina Split , which is closest to the city centre), you have got two options: enjoy a stroll through the historic streets or, especially in the high season, set sail on Saturday in the afternoon to avoid traditional boat traffic.

This itinerary will offer you the best places for sailing starting from Split. But before you plan your sailing trip, do not forget to consider sailing conditions. Factors like the best season for sailing and maritime infrastructure are covered in our article with many other recommendations for your sailing holiday in Croatia .

Islands worth visiting on your 7-day sailing trip are Šolta , which is less visited by tourists, Vis – an island frozen in time, worldwide known islands of Brač and Hvar , peaceful Šćedro island, and if you still didn’t run out of time, visit the lush green island of Korčula and the neighbouring, almost untouched Lastovo island. You are not going to forget them any time soon!

Tip: Once the strong Jugo wind is about to be blowing for a week straight, give it a thought and sail north of Split. 

Suggested 7-day sailing itinerary: Split - Šolta (Šešula/Jorja) - Vis (Komiža) - Šćedro (Manastir) - Hvar (Vrboska) - Brač (Milna) - Split

Getting your itinerary ready for such a stunning area popular with tourists can be a tough one, especially in high season. Many cruise ships and ferries, including yachts, sail along the islands. We recommend you book your mooring spot in popular marinas and bays via the app MySea or SeaSy . Furthermore, reserving a berth in advance will ensure that you won’t have to wait. Depending on the location, Croatia’s mooring fees can be costly. Be sure to look at the price lists before choosing a spot.

You can easily adjust the suggested itinerary to your sailing skills and the mood of your crew aboard. The strong bora or jugo can surprise you here as well. We also included in your itinerary a stopover on the island of Vis. By any means, you will not regret visiting this farthest offshore, inhabited Adriatic island. However, if you feel like some routes between the islands of Vis, Šćedro, and the northern part of Hvar are way too time-consuming, opt for an overnight stay in one of the well-protected bays on Pakleni archipelago.

In the high season, you can skip some popular spots, such as the most photographed Meditteranean beach of Zlatni Rat on Brač island or the blue cave of Biševo. Visit them instead in the low season because crowds of tourists can ruin your experience.

Here are our recommendations for your sailing routes from Split. Overall, this sailing itinerary is approximately 140-150 nautical miles (nm).

Day 1 (Saturday):  Check-in at Marina Split (0 nm)

Day 2 (Sunday):  Split - Šolta (Šešula/Jorja) (14 - 18 nm) 

Day 3 (Monday): Šolta - Vis (Komiža) (24 nm)

Day 4 (Tuesday): Vis - Stiniva (Vis) - the island of Šćedro (32 nm)            

Day 5 (Wednesday): Šćedro - Dubovica beach on the Hvar island, or Pakleni island with a bay of Soline/Vinogradišće - Hvar (Vrboska) (35 nm)

Day 6 (Thursday): Hvar (Vrboska) - Brač (Blača) - Brač (Milna) (21 nm)

Day 7 (Friday):  Brač - Šolta (Ragač) - Split (17 nm)

You can find the route on Google Maps on this link .

Map of the sailing itinerary from Split around the Croatian islands.

Day 1 (Saturday) - Split

Saturday is a chaotic day within every marina, and it applies especially to one of the largest Dalmatian marinas. So, once you get everything ready and settled, start your onshore exploration. Split – the second largest city in Croatia – is truly worth visiting, and you can reach the city centre from the marina in 30 minutes. While walking along the coast, head to the extensive and busy Riva promenade, lined with palm trees. The street artists will make your walk pretty enjoyable, and you will also be pleased by the view of the historic buildings and the sea. Before reaching Riva, you can also stop by at Fabrique pub for a massive portion of grilled food. The interior is excellent, and the staff is handy. In addition, there are several cafés to choose from in the Riva pedestrian zone. While in the city centre, you can also enjoy a delicious dinner in the Makarun – almost a Michelin-level restaurant.

For a stunning view of the open Adriatic sea, head to the Marjan forest park, or you can also hike up to the Belvedere viewpoint or the Vrh Telegrin.

Day 2 (Sunday) - Split - Šolta (Šešula/Jorja) - 14 - 18 nm

Tourists often skip the island of Šolta; however, it is a beautiful and unspoiled place that will win your heart for its Dalmatian authenticity, dense green forests smelling of pine trees, and famous local gastronomy.

Places worth seeing

Take a break from sailing in one of the northern bays,  Stomorska or Nečujam . If you fancy sandy beaches, you will enjoy your time at the hidden and small bay Šipkova. The most beautiful and emptier beaches are on the island’s south side; we recommend the bays of Tatinja, Jorja, and Stračinska.

Šolta is also known for several gastronomic specialities. Treat yourself to the local Dobričić red wine made from the local grapes. In addition to wine, the island is known for its traditional beekeeping, and local rosemary honey will make a grateful souvenir. The local olive oil is of high quality.

Although tourists visit Šolta less frequently, we recommend booking moorings in advance. Marina Maslinica in the sympathetic town of Maslinica is a well-known marina. It is, however, relatively expensive, smaller, and sanitary facilities are usually occupied.

If you don’t feel like spending the night in the marina, moor on a buoy in the neighbouring and well-protected Šešula bay . Arrive there early and make a reservation because it is often crowded in the summer. For a quality and affordable dinner, visit the peaceful restaurant Konoba Šešula which has friendly and helpful staff.

Other famous bays in the north are Nečujam (mooring with an anchor) and Stomorsk (mooring lines). These bays, however, do not provide enough protection during bora.

On the southern side of the island, in the bays of Tatinja , Senjska, and Stračinska , drop an anchor and tie your boat to the shore. Neither one of the bays is protected against the jugo. The “secret” tip for a visit is a lovely Jorja bay, where it is possible to anchor on a buoy if you eat at an excellent local restaurant Lero . Moreover, Jorja bay is an exceptional place for a sleepover. Your reward for today’s cruise will be a breathtaking view from the restaurant on the hill.

Day 3 (Monday) - Šolta - Vis (24 nm)

The island of Vis is a positive surprise for every visitor. Vis was closed off from foreign visitors until 1989 when it ceased being a military base. Today, it feels as if time has stood still. Tourist resorts, large hotels, or vast beaches are absent – you will find here pristine nature, experience a long fishing tradition, and visit several most beautiful beaches in the country.

Places worth visiting

The charming port town of Komiža will win you over for its friendly atmosphere, delicious fish, and local wines of vugava and plavac. Komiža was founded back in the 12th century by Benedictine monks, and the port kept its ancient atmosphere until today. The town of Vis on the opposite side of the island is also worth a visit. By the way, both of these ports served as a backdrop for the sequel to Mamma Mia.

Vis is known for its diverse beaches every step of the way – there are pebble, rocky, sandy, and several nudist beaches. If you have some free time left on the following day, pay a visit to the wild and romantic Stiniva bay and its beach, which has long been rated one of the TOP beaches in Europe. Once there, you can observe an interesting phenomenon – half of the beach is always in the shade because of the cliff.

Cliff with boats and Stiniva beach

Numerous local vineyards, citrus and olive groves, exotic palm trees, and pine trees emphasize the island’s purity, and the citrus scent will accompany you throughout your whole stay on Vis. In addition, divers will be attracted by several wrecks hidden in the depths of the sea.

The small island of Biševo, with a stunning Blue cave that creates magical scenery on the water surface, is nearby. Come by between 9:30 and 11:30 to experience the incredible display of colours and lights. Although the cave is beautiful, don’t feel compelled to visit it during summer, for there are huge crowds of impatient tourists. In recent years, anchoring the ship here and driving to the cave has been forbidden, so you will need to rely on the nervous cave operators. However, the bay of Biševska Luka, with a lovely sandy beach and a restaurant, is also worth visiting in the high season. Unfortunately, the bay is not well-protected from strong winds.

Another beautiful cave, Zelena, is on the tiny neighbouring island of Ravnik. Like Blue cave, get ready for crowds of ships in front of it in high season. If you long for a cave visit, opt for the good and so far little-known spot – the biggest cave on the island of Vis – Kraljičina (Queen’s cave). It is located in the northern part of the island, nearby to Oključina bay. You can visit the bay with a cave, a small pebble beach, and a half-empty town on your way from Šolta to Komiža.

We recommend you moor on a buoy in a bay in front of the town of Komiža . A local water taxi will take you onshore. An alternative is to tie up your boat at the town harbour’s pier. During your stay in Komiža, we recommend you dine at Jastožera restaurant, known for its fresh lobsters, which you get to choose for yourself. Even if you opt for a different dining place, it will not be a bad call as most local restaurants offer a quality gastronomic experience.

Overnight stay in the Vis port is much more difficult. Not only due to noise but also because of the east winds, waves created by ferries, and, unfortunately, frequent sewer odours.

Day 4 (Tuesday) - Vis - Stiniva bay - Šćedro (32 nm)

If translated, the island of Šćedro means “generous”, and it is entirely accurate to say this small island will generously reward you with its stunning beauty and wilder character. Furthermore, due to the absence of cars, ferries, and protected nature, Šćedro holds a reputation as Croatia’s most peaceful island.

We recommend staying in the Manastir bay on a mooring buoy (3 meters long mooring ropes hang from it) and, just in case, making a reservation at local restaurant Moster. From here, you can reach the ruins of an old 16th-century Dominican monastery. Be aware the bay is not well-protected from bora.

Konoba Moster in Manastir bay will pleasantly surprise you with locally grown ingredients, fresh-caught fish, and homemade wine. Konoba is owned by two brothers who live here all year round, and they run an ecologically aware and sustainable business. As a result, this restaurant is not among the cheapest.

Another famous bay in the area is Lovišće bay; however, strong gusts of wind can bother you at night. In such a case, it is safer to anchor in the western tip of the bay.

Sea and Forests in Lovisce bay

Day 5 (Wednesday) - Šćedro - Hvar (Vrboska) or Pakleni (35nm)

Get ready to sail longer distances today. Your route will take you from Šćedro towards the neighbouring Hvar, and if all is safe and sound, you will stop by at the Pakleni archipelago. Sailing around Hvar while getting to know its bays and towns would be worth a week-long cruise.

Hvar is fairly considered a king among the Dalmatian islands. Croatia’s most beautiful and most popular island, Hvar, is also nicknamed a “lavender island”, for you can find lavender sachets for sale everywhere. Lush vegetation and the most significant number of sunny days make it a real Croatian Madeira.

Aerial view of the town of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands

On the way to your final destination for today, stop by in a small Dubovica bay on the south side of Hvar and take a dip in the sea. You can also take a break and moor in Vinogradišće bay with a sandy beach (a fee for a buoy is charged also for a short stay) or head to Solina bay on the island of St. Clement. While sailing along the Pakleni archipelago, watch out for crowds of kayakers. Caution is also in place as you sail through Splitska vrata (the strait between the islands of Šolta and Brač) since most boats and ferries take this route.   

Pakleni archipelago is confusingly translated as Hell islands, however, they are not even close to that. The tranquil Paklenis are breathtaking, paradise islands with their name derived from the word paklina – the pine resin used for painting ships.

Hvar, Stari Grad, Vrbovska, Jelsa, and Sučuraj are the most beautiful towns on the island of Hvar. Hvar is a busy party town, visited even by celebrities, yet keeping its unmistakable ancient charm. The Stari Grad town is one of the oldest European towns, and it is significantly quieter compared to Hvar. Both Vrbovska and Jelsa are picturesque and peaceful ports. Due to its location on the eastern tip of the island, Sučuraj is often overlooked, which makes it an ideal destination for those who prefer intimate towns.

There are numerous beautiful and lonely bays worth anchoring on the eastern side of the Hvar island. Even though this part of Hvar is not included in your itinerary, our recommendations go for the picturesque bays of Mrtinovnik, Smarska, and Pokrivenik .

If the wind and overall conditions are in your favor, set sailing to Marina Vrboska on the Brač island. You can choose either the town pier or a more distant and expensive ACI marina. The town of Vrboska was given the nickname of “Little Venice” for its renaissance style and numerous small bridges across the channel. There is also a pretty church resembling a fortress with a view of the surrounding region. If you crave a tasty dinner, you can stop by, for example, in Škojič restaurant.

In case you decide to sail for a shorter distance, you can stay for the night in one of the bays on Pakleni islands. Namely on St. Clement island, instead of anchoring on the ever-packed Vinogradišće bay, we recommend staying in Solina bay, where you can secure your boat with an anchor or use a mooring buoy. Several buoys belong to the pleasant Paradiso restaurant. You can also opt for an ACI marina Palmižana on the north part of St. Clement island, however, be aware of lower depth in the marina, strong waves during bora, and arbitrary handling of mooring lines by local staff, that might get caught in your propeller.

If the town’s nightlife doesn’t bother you, the beautiful Hvar is a good choice for an overnight stay, but there is a lack of space already in the early afternoon. Stari Grad , referred to by many as the most beautiful town on Hvar, offers good mooring with water and electricity.

Day 6 (Thursday) - Vrboska - Milna (21 nm)

In case you stayed overnight in the marina Vrboska, your final destination for the day is the island of Brač and the old fishing town of Milna . Brač is renowned for its phenomenal beach of Zlatni Rat – the largest coastal attraction and the most visited beach in Croatia. On the other hand, if you spent the night on Pakleni islands or in the town of Hvar, Vrboska can be your final destination today.

The saying goes that while being on Brač island, you should relax at least for a while on the sandy beach of Zlatni Rat. Ideally, however, in the off-season. Brač may also be best known for its radiant white limestone, which adorns Diocletian’s Palace in Split. It has also been used for building many local houses. As the highest island in the Adriatic, Brač offers you the possibility to hike the Vidova Gora with a rewarding view of impressive beaches and nearby Hvar.

Aerial view of Zlatni rat beach in Croatia

Popular destinations such as towns Milna, Sutivan, and Supetar will delight fans of historic and fishing ports. The local gourmet speciality of the island of Brač is not fish but lamb. Its taste stands out even better if combined with the local red wine.  

Tip: In case you stay on Brač longer, there is a romantic beach in a bay near Murvica settlement with a secret Dragon cave . It contains carved religious paintings whose author and meaning remain a mystery. The cave is locked from the public, it is necessary to organize a tour in advance with a local guide. Since the tour and the hike take approximately 4 hours altogether, we recommend visiting this attraction in case of a longer stay on Brač.

Anchoring near Zlatni Rat beach is prohibited. On your way from the marina Vrboska, you can moor in Bol, a popular holiday destination, and relax on the famous beach. Blača bay is a nice and uninhabited spot suitable for swimming or overnight stays. Former Blača Hermitage monastery is just 45 minutes away on foot. When anchoring in this bay, tie up your boat ashore. Be careful when throwing an anchor, there is a tree with branches at the bottom, and the bottom is also rocky in some places.

While in Milna, you can stay overnight in the marina Vlaska or ACI Marina Milna . Both marinas are well-protected from all winds. There is even a nice beach near the marina Vlaska where you take a pleasant evening dip.

Milna is a small town that you can explore in a short time. If you visit during summer, you might get lucky to experience one of the numerous local cultural events. Tasty Bago restaurant is just behind the corner from marina Vlaska (in addition to fish, they also serve lamb). A good place for taking a bite near the ACI marina is Palma restaurant.

Day 7 (Friday) - sailing towards Split (17 nm)

Enjoy your last day at sea by relaxing in one of the bays on the eastern side of the Brač island. Bobovišće bay (mooring buoy) or Stipanska (anchoring) are good spots for a pleasant swim.

Tip: On Friday afternoon, large rows of ships gather near the ACI Marina Split, in front of the gas station. We, therefore, recommend avoiding the chaos and refueling in Rogač on the island of Šolta, or in Milna on Brač island.

Alternative itineraries

Boost your inspiration with other sailing possibilities south from Split.

  • For more experienced and sailing-greedy yachtsmen we recommend leaving Split already on Saturday afternoon and including in your itinerary Lastovo – the most remote, inhabited island in Croatia. This is an example of your sailing itinerary: Split - Vis - Korčula Vela Luka - Lastovo (Zaklopatica) - town of Korčula – Šćedro island - Hvar (Hvar or Vrboska) or Brač (Milna) - Split. 
  • Beginner yachtsmen or families with kids would enjoy safer sailing conditions between the Croatian coast and the islands of Šolta/Brač/and partially, Hvar.
  • Split - Pakleni islands (ACI marina Palmižana or Luka Soline bay) - the town of Korčula with a stopover on the island of Šćedro - Korčula Vela Luka - town of Hvar - Milna on Brač island - Split

We believe that after a week-long cruise in this beautiful area, you will be coming back for there are many more attractive places to explore. A call of the Adriatic sea can be powerful. And Boataround team  will be happy to help you with the choice of your boat or the itinerary.

Note: We used the Navionics app to calculate the route length. As an example, we used a boat with a length of up to 15 meters, a draft of 3 meters (such as Elan 50 ), and an average speed of 5 knots per hour.)
