Whether you seek a skippered motor yacht or a private catamaran, our curated selection ensures an unparalleled maritime experience in the heart of Dalmatia.
Luxury Fleet and Premium Services
Our sailing holidays in Hvar provide access to an elite fleet of vessels tailored to your specific needs. From sleek motorboats perfect for day trips to expansive crewed catamarans and elegant sailing yachts for weekly charters, every boat is maintained to the highest standards. Most rentals include a professional local skipper who knows the hidden gems of the Adriatic, though bareboat options are available for qualified sailors. Onboard, you can expect modern amenities, high-end navigation equipment, and optional concierge services such as private chefs, wine tastings, or water sports gear like paddleboards and snorkeling kits to enhance your time on the water.
Exploring the Pakleni Islands and Beyond
Setting sail from Hvar Town or the ACI Marina Palmižana opens up a world of breathtaking coastal scenery. The nearby Pakleni Islands are a mandatory stop, offering crystal-clear lagoons like Vinogradišće Bay and the trendy shores of Carpe Diem Beach. For those on longer voyages, the route south toward the island of Vis and the famous Blue Cave on Biševo is a highlight of any itinerary. You can also navigate toward the sheer cliffs of the south shore of Hvar, visiting the scenic vineyards of Sveta Nedjelja or the quiet, emerald waters of Dubovica beach, far away from the bustling crowds of the main port.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of your maritime adventure depends on the vessel type, size, and the time of year. During the peak summer months of July and August, daily rentals for premium motorboats typically start from €800, while weekly luxury catamaran charters can range from €6,000 to over €20,000 depending on the model and crew requirements. Our booking process is designed for simplicity and transparency; once you select your dates and boat, our specialists handle the contracts and logistics. We provide detailed quotes that clearly outline fuel estimates, port fees, and security deposits, ensuring there are no surprises when you arrive at the marina.
The Best Time for Your Hvar Escape
To make the most of your time in Croatia, we recommend booking between late May and early October. The shoulder seasons of June and September offer the ideal balance of warm Mediterranean weather and fewer crowds at the most popular moorings. For a truly comprehensive experience, many of our guests choose to combine their sailing holidays with a stay in a luxury stone villa in Hvar's historic center or the Stari Grad Plain. This 'surf and turf' approach allows you to enjoy the island's world-class dining and heritage sites before heading out to sea for total privacy and relaxation among the Dalmatian archipelago.
