Exploring the Pakleni Islands and Beyond

Setting sail from Hvar Town or the ACI Marina Palmižana opens up a world of secluded coves and vibrant beach clubs. The Pakleni Islands, a stunning emerald chain just offshore, are the primary highlight for any day trip, offering protected anchorages like Vinogradišće Bay. For those on longer charters, the route often extends toward the island of Vis to visit the famous Blue Cave on Biševo or southward to the medieval walls of Korčula. The coastline around Hvar is dotted with hidden gems like the Red Rocks (Crvene Stijene) and the quiet fishing village of Milna, providing the perfect backdrop for swimming and sunset photography.

Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Process

The cost of a sailboat charter in Hvar varies based on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the specific week of the season. During the peak months of July and August, demand is high, and early booking is essential to secure the best yachts. Prices typically include the boat rental and insurance, while additional costs such as fuel, marina mooring fees, and crew gratuities are settled separately. Our booking process is streamlined and transparent; once you select your preferred dates and yacht model, we provide a comprehensive quote and handle all administrative paperwork to ensure a seamless transition from the airport to the marina.
