Luxury Floating Accommodations in Hvar

Choosing to sleep on a boat in Hvar provides a sophisticated alternative to standard villas. Our fleet ranges from sleek motor yachts and spacious catamarans to classic sailing boats, all equipped with modern amenities. When you book a stay, you typically enjoy private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, fully equipped galleys, and expansive teak decks for sunbathing.

Whether you prefer a stationary stay in the vibrant Hvar Town harbor or a moving charter that explores different bays each night, our services are tailored to your specific needs.

Sailing Routes and Hidden Bays

Hvar serves as the perfect gateway to the Pakleni Islands, a stunning emerald archipelago just a short sail away. From your base in Hvar, you can explore the turquoise waters of Palmizana or anchor in the secluded bay of Vinogradišce for a quiet afternoon. Further afield, a short cruise takes you to the famous Blue Cave on Biševo or the historic streets of Vis. For those seeking a longer route, sailing south toward the island of Korčula offers a mix of medieval architecture and pristine vineyards. Each anchorage provides a unique backdrop for your evening, allowing you to enjoy the sunset from your private deck before the stars emerge over the Adriatic.

Pricing and Booking Your Maritime Stay

The cost of a boat stay in Hvar varies significantly based on the vessel size, age, and level of service requested. A luxury catamaran for a group might range from €1,500 to €3,500 per day during the peak summer months, while smaller sailboats can be found starting from €800 per day. Factors such as fuel consumption, port fees in Hvar Marina or ACI Palmižana, and crew gratuities should be factored into your budget. Booking is straightforward through our platform: once you select your dates and preferred yacht, our concierge team assists with itinerary planning and any special provisioning requests to ensure everything is ready for your arrival.

Best Time to Visit and Travel Tips

The ideal window to sleep on a boat in Hvar is between late May and early October, when the Adriatic waters are warm and the winds are favorable. July and August are the liveliest months, perfect for those who want to experience Hvar’s world-famous nightlife and beach clubs like Carpe Diem. For a more serene experience, the shoulder seasons of June and September offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. We often recommend combining a few nights on a yacht with a stay in one of our luxury inland villas. This 'surf and turf' approach allows you to experience the vibrant culture of Hvar Town alongside the tranquil privacy of the open sea.

Can we dock in Hvar Town harbor every night?

Hvar Town harbor is extremely popular and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. While it is the heart of the action, many guests prefer the nearby ACI Marina Palmižana for its better facilities and quieter atmosphere, taking a short water taxi into Hvar Town for dinner and drinks.
