WHY CHARTER IN SPLIT

Island hopping during your yacht charter in Split is the best kind of charter vacation you can ever get. Split is the largest Croatian city on the Adriatic coast, from there you can visit almost the whole country and have the cruise of your life. Moreover, you can opt for just a few nearby islands and enjoy pure comfort and privacy.

We recommend you to visit the nearby islands: Hvar, Vis, Šolta, Korčula, Biševo, Brač and many more full of secluded coves and magnificent beaches. You will be amazed at how close these islands are and how peacefully the Croatian Adriatic sea is on your yacht charter in Split.

If you are a history buff, you will adore yacht charter in Split. Since the Roman emperor, Diocletian decided to build a palace in Split, where he wanted to spend the last years of his life in tranquillity, the legend of Split has survived for 17 centuries.

During those 1700 years, the Palace grew into a city, which now fascinates travellers with its rich history, exquisite architecture, and natural and cultural heritage. In 1979th, UNESCO added the 4th century Diocletian Palace and the Split’s historical centre to the World Heritage List.

WHEN TO CHARTER IN SPLIT

Whenever you are ready for the perfect yacht charter! Yachting season in Croatia is between April and November and it has ideal cruising conditions. If you want to swim, snorkel and play with water toys during your yacht charter in Split, we recommend visiting it from May to September.

This period we can divide into three parts: the heart of the season – July and August, middle season – May, June and September and low season – April and November.

For those who prefer warm summers and cities brimming with life, the middle of the season is perfect. What’s even better is that even on the busiest day of the year, you can always discover a private beach with your yacht charter in Split and enjoy complete privacy.

Additionally, you will get the chance to visit the Ultra Music Festival, one of Europe’s largest music events, where you will be able to hear the sounds of Carl Cox, Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, and many others.

For this time of the year, everything you will need is a swimsuit, light summer clothes and a good mood. Relax and let your crew and SuperYachts Croatia team take care of everything else. All you have to do is swim, sunbathe on your yacht deck, have a blast with water toys and explore the turquoise crystal clear Adriatic sea in countless secluded bays.

The low season is when temperatures are between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius (65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit), which is best for people who do not like when it is too hot. The sea is calm and the winds are mild and ideal for your yacht charter in Split.

If you want to experience the real yacht charter in Split, connect to locals, watch soccer games, or appreciate the coffee culture, the low season is the best time of year to visit this magical city.

HOW TO GET TO SPLIT

Getting to your yacht charter in Split is simple. After the capital city – Zagreb, Split is Croatia’s second-largest travel centre and you can reach it easily with your private jet, car, and yacht.

Moreover, we can arrange a special transfer with an exclusive car or helicopter (if your yacht has a helipad) so you will avoid traffic jams and also enjoy panoramic views with the glass of your favourite champagne.
