I chartered yacht Bavaria 34 NEO from Bruneko Company during my summer vacation. I am absolutely impressed and satisfied with literally everything. Contact with company before arrival was perfect, staff and positive attitude was more than I accepted. Boat Bavaria 34 NEO was new and astonishing. It wasn’t just regular charter boat, but it had really everything, including AC, lightening under the boat. All instruments on boat were new and in perfect shape. I am demanding customer but at that case I cannot say anything more except: THANK YOU BRUNEKO!!! And definitely see you next time.

This Charter is way beyond Croatia Charters standards. Very pro-client attitude in communication same as services. Modern equipment of boats same as overall technical condition. We had Elan E4 which I can absolutely recommend.

We had a very pleasant trip with an Elan E4. The boat was very well maintained and in very good condition, the welcome and service by Bruneko was perfect. They are clearly customer oriented and are wonderful hosts. To me one of the top charter agencies in Croatia.

Christian G.

Thanks to the Bruneko Yacht Charter team for a perfect charter experience with the Elan Impression 40 “Fortiss”. The team is very professional, highly organized, and very helpful. It has been the best charter company I have chartered with so far (always bareboat). The crew and I were very positively surprised by the boat as a whole, but especially by the equipment and cleanliness. Gladly again!

This was my 5th charter with Bruneko over many years and if starting from Zadar again I will surely do the 6th one :) Well maintained boats, moderate prices and a very friendly staff is a visit card of Bruneko. They are focused on customers, and you may be sure to be treated well and fair. The base is perfectly located in Tankenkomerc marina, just 10 minutes’ walk from Zadar old town. See you again Vedran and Bruneko team!

The sailing boat NEO Bavaria 34 was in a great condition! Bruneko Charter personnel is always friendly and willing to help anytime. It was a pleasure to sail with Bruneko and we strongly recommend this charter company. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Jana and Braňo

Klub Zeglarski UW

Yachts were new and clean, staff was helpful and always one call away, provided weather forecasts. Fast and easy check-in and check-out, yachts were available even upon our late-night arrival. Property left onboard was shipped to us for free. We highly recommend the collaboration with Bruneko Charter. Sailing Club of University of Warsaw, Poland

It's not just about sailing. Not even in an environment like the Dalmatian islands, abundant in nature and historical heritage. It's about feeling good, safe, and accompanied at every moment. This has been the defining difference for me when evaluating my experience. This is the third time (the best one yet) we've conducted Team Building experiences for businesses, families, or groups of friends in the Adriatic in recent years, and I can only express my deepest gratitude to the entire Bruneko team. For us at Sail&Grow, having quality boats in all the sailing zones we operate in is essential. But it's even more vital that the yacht charter company aligns closely with our way of doing things. Good folks and folks who do good. This is Bruneko.

WHEN TO CHARTER IN ZADAR

The charter season in Zadar begins in April and lasts until November. The sailing conditions are exquisite, and the weather is excellent all year round. We recommend booking your yacht charter in Zadar at the end of June and first 2 weeks of July, so you can enjoy ideal weather conditions.

The most popular time for a yacht charter in Zadar region is during the summer months i.e. between June and September. Summer in this region means that you will be blessed with 13 hours of sunshine per day and temperatures between 25 and 30 C ° (77-86 Fahrenheit).

The Mediterranean climate promises a dry and warm summer with winds of no more than 10-20 knots. The peak season for sailors is July and August, with an insanely high number of sunny days and a great number of yachts on the water, while June, September, and October offer equally satisfying sailing conditions but fewer crowds.

For a truly tranquil yacht charter in Zadar, April, May, and November are ideal for exploring the 300+ islands, islets, and reefs. Thanks to the low boat traffic, the underwater world is at its peak during these months. You will have the opportunity to explore the region in all its glory, without the summer crowds. Imagine waking up on your yacht in a peaceful, pristine bay and seeing curious dolphins jumping around your boat.

The winds are particularly reliable during the yachting season when local yacht lovers claim they can set their watch by relying on their frequency. The mistral wind blows during the day, peaking between 9 am and 12 pm, then taking a break for a couple of hours before returning at 3 pm (“after lunch”) for a few more hours until dusk, when the winds die down to a light breeze.

Zadar has mild winters and warm summers, but the temperatures are never too extreme. In the yacht charter season from May to September, conditions are practically perfect – the temperature is somewhere between 20 and 25 C °   (68-77 Fahrenheit) which means swimsuits, light clothes and bare feet are the order of the day.

The Adriatic is very well protected and enclosed, so temperatures never drop below 15 degrees, and the sea is swimmable all year round. By the end of May, swimming in the sea becomes pleasant and refreshing at around 20 degrees, and by the end of August, at 25 degrees, it feels like you are swimming in a pool.

HOW TO GET TO ZADAR

Zadar is a picturesque historical town in southwestern Croatia, considered to be located in the “Heart of Dalmatia”, with its roots dating back to the time of ancient Roman emperors. The city is separated from the islands of Ugljan and Pašman by the Zadar  Sea Channel, meaning that this town is the ideal base for your yacht charter holiday, because it has a natural deep-sea harbor protected from harsh weather by the dotted islands and the Velebit mountain range. You can reach Zadar very easily, by air, sea, and land.

Zadar airport is located in Zemunik Donji, 9 km southeast of the city. The airport is well connected with the whole of Europe and other international destinations. You can easily find a direct flight to Zadar from any major European city, especially during the summer months. Once you land, the SuperYachts Croatia team can arrange a VIP transfer for you and your charter guests.

Zadar is also excellently connected via highway to all major cities in Croatia. You can reach Zadar by driving on the A1 or enjoy the scenic route along with the Velebit Mountain range by way of the famous Jadranska Magistrala (D8).

If you are arriving by sea, your yacht charter in Zadar will be awaiting your transfer! Yachts can moor on the peninsula next to Old Town, giving guests the possibility to enjoy all the amenities of the attractive Old Town, as well as transfer quickly between vessles.

Visit these must-see sightseeing spots

Roman Forum and the city Landmarks – Only a few steps away from your yacht charter, you will discover the largest preserved Roman Forum in Dalmatia. During ancient times, the forum was the centre of city life.

Since Zadar was destroyed and rebuilt 4 times throughout history, you will be able to see numerous remains,  including the famous pillar of shame and the majestic Church of St. Donatus , a must-see landmark of the city. Near the St. Donatus church, you will discover a majestic bell tower, which is open for visitors.

Nearby, you will also be able to see the Monastery of St. Mary, where you can visit the famous exhibit inside the church -the  “Gold and Silver of Zadar”. From this location, you can take a stroll along Kalelarga – the main street which will lead you to the main square.

The People’s Square – Everything that has ever mattered in Zadar, happened on this square. The People’s Square is the centre of urban life, a place where locals enjoy their macchiatos and a place that draws visitors in with a unique atmosphere. Here you will find the first lamp ever put in town, as well as City hall and main street Via Magna, also known as Kalelarga. If you keep walking straight, you will find St. Simon’s church and the 5 wells square.

The Five Wells Square – This unique system of cisterns with 5 wells from 1574 once saved the city from an Ottoman siege, providing it with water from Lake Vrana. Today, this square is a popular clubbing destination with 2 clubs surrounding it. Svarog bar near the 26m tall Captain’s Tower and Ledana Lounge bar on the left in the park of Queen Jelena Madijevka. These clubs provide a unique blend of experiences, mixing ancient with the modern, alongside great music.

The Foša harbour and the Land Gate – This charming little harbour hides three spectacular things. First, the Venetian Landgates, followed by a fine-dining restaurant also named Foša, and lastly, a UNESCO heritage site i.e. the fortifications of Zadar. These mighty walls were considered impenetrable, and they defended the city from all conquerors for centuries.

The Sea Organ & Greeting to the Sun installations – Just a step or two from your moored yacht, you can stumble upon 2 unique installations. “Greeting to the Sun” is a solar-powered installation, made by the famous architect Nikola Bašić. It represents our solar system while performing a spectacular light show after sunset. On the same spot, you will find the magnificent Sea Organs, which will let you listen to the symphony of the sea.

The Footbridge & the Rowing Boatmen – the Zadar peninsula is connected to the mainland part of the city with the Footbridge, which is within a 10-minute walking distance from the Zadar marina. You can enjoy a tranquil stroll around the marina and cross the footbridge to get into the Old Town, but there is a faster way.

The Rowing boatmen will take you from the Marina Zadar pier to  Oldtown in no time. Venice has gondoliers, and Zadar has boatmen! For centuries now, from dawn until dusk, the hardworking boatmen row in their orange wooden boats transporting people across the channel. Moor your yacht in Marina Zadar, and try out a traditional rowing boat ride across the blackwater, for a much faster route to the city centre.

ENJOY AN EXQUISITE FINE DINING EXPERIENCE ON YOUR YACHT CHARTER IN ZADAR

The culinary scene in Zadar is fantastic, with choices ranging from Dalmatian cuisine to Italian and international flavours. However, if you do not know what to pick, always opt for seafood, the true speciality of Zadar, caught in the Adriatic Sea and brought straight to your plate.

Meat lovers will get the opportunity to try mouth-watering steaks, marinated with first-class spices and prepared with great expertise. For vegetarians and vegans, there is a wide selection of dishes made from organic vegetables grown in the Zadar region. Exceptional dishes are not the only thing Zadar has to offer, you can try a wide selection of award-winning local wines, gins, liqueurs, and much more.

Harbour Cookhouse and Club – Enjoy a unique dining experience right on the seafront, while you soak up the spectacular view of Old Town and its famous footbridge.

We also recommend trying the award-winning local wines from Degarra winery or Kraljevski vinogradi vinery.

Restaurant Foša – The best and most famous seafood restaurant in Zadar will amaze with its open-air terrace, overlooking the mighty Zadar walls and the majestic Land Gate adorned with the Venetian winged lion.

This island is a luxury destination and is recommended for people who appreciate the beauty of nature, combined with outstanding food and atmosphere and complemented by top-notch service. All this makes Konoba Ravni Žakan a unique fine-dining spot in an unbelievable surrounding, far away from prying eyes.

Šporka Mare – visit the oldest restaurant around the Kornati islands archipelago. This historic place is located on the south shore of the islet Katina, near the Proversa Vela channel (the north gate of Kornati National Park) and is owned by a family which kept it running for 4 generations.

They received the bare island Katina in the 19th century from Zadar’s noblemen and that’s where the story begins. The old family stone house on the shore was a storm shelter for fishermen, but also a place for unloading fishing nets.

Slowly, this shelter for fishermen and sailors became the first restaurant on the Kornati islands, and over time it got an outstanding reputation among yacht lovers, fishermen and sailors, who named it after its owner – grandma Mare. Today this restaurant is a must-visit spot for yacht charters in Zadar, famous for its extraordinary seafood dishes and fine impeccable service. Enjoy top-notch seafood made from Mare’s cookbook and served in traditional hand-made pottery.

Konoba Opat – Discover an eco-friendly paradise in Opat bay in the heart of the marvellous Kornati Islands. This extraordinary restaurant will welcome you with warm hospitality, professional service and a stone house restaurant made of eco-friendly materials.

You will enjoy fresh seafood on the open-air terrace by the sea in Konoba Opat and witness the stunning vistas while you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. Relax in a unique Dalmatian atmosphere, extraordinary views and a 1st class fine-dining restaurant incorporated into the natural environment.

Restaurant Core & Lounge bar is a modern, impeccably designed venue in Vrulje bay. Enjoy homemade food and a great selection of wine and fantastic view of the Kornati archipelago. All the dishes in Core have a traditional base implemented with innovative culinary methods and chic ingredients.

Except for mouth-watering gourmet food, this place will offer a stunning lounge bar, with a glamping resort nearby. Moor your yacht on the restaurant dock and try out colourful cocktails at the bar while the skilful chef prepares your meal, or simply enjoy swimming in the Vrulje bay with backdrop vistas of the splendid Kornati Islands.

OUR SUGGESTED SEVEN-DAY YACHT CHARTER IN ZADAR

Explore countless secluded bays and discover beautiful private bays, as well as unspoiled nature and rich heritage, all in one place. Moreover, because Zadar has a unique atmosphere, it is a great place to start your yacht charter holiday. Keep reading for our suggested seven-day yacht charter in Zadar.

Day 1: Zadar – Ugljan – Pašman

Start your yacht charter in Zadar by visiting the nearby islands of Ugljan and Pašman. Located only 2.5 nautical miles from Zadar, Ugljan will take your breath away with its lush landscapes.

This green island is a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the summer crowds. On your way from Zadar to Ugljan, make sure to visit the smallest inhabited island in the Adriatic – Galevac.

There you can explore the Franciscan monastery in the heart of the islet. Afterwards, drop your anchor in Mala Lamjana bay, one of the largest and most beautiful coves on Ugljan island. Here, you can find diverse underwater life with plenty of fish and shellfish, skittering on the sandy sea bottom.

Sail from Ugljan to the nearby island of Pašman and experience the true meaning of the Adriatic spirit. Ask your charter crew to anchor your yacht charter in a private bay and sunbathe in complete privacy, under the shade of pine trees, while your diligent crew serve refreshing cocktails and terrific finger food.

Day 2: Pašman – Galešnjak

Pašman is connected to Ugljan island via the bridge, so you can take a bike ride along Ugljan and Pašman or hop on your Vespa and enjoy breathtaking views while you ride. Because of its unique character, this place overwhelms your soul and enters the pores of your innermost being.

We suggest dropping anchor in Kobiljak cove, a secluded bay adorned with exceptional beauty. This bay is exposed to the scirocco wind, and it has a 4-10 m deep sandy bottom. Another lovely cove, where you can enjoy the surreal beauty of Pašman island is St. Ante Bay.

This bay is located on the SW coast of the island, and it is one of the favourite anchorages for yachts on Pašman island. This bay was named after the nearby church of St. Ante, which you can visit with your tender. The SuperYacht Croatia Team will gladly procure a Vespa, a motorcycle, an e-bike, a quad or a scooter, so you can enjoy exploring 2 islands of remarkable beauty.

Nearby, in the Pašman Channel, you will find the heart-shaped island of Galešnjak – a world-famous “Island of love”. It is so popular that even the world-famous singer Beyonce celebrated her 39th birthday here . The island has an area of 0.132 square meters, and although it is small in size, it has a grand effect on people. Even Forbes recognized that! Galesnjak was on the Forbes list of the most romantic Valentine’s destinations.

Day 3: Kornati Islands

This labyrinth of remarkable beauty, according to the legend, was created from the rocks that God had left after creating the world. He tossed them into the sea and decided the Kornati were so perfect that nothing else needed to be changed.

On your cruising adventures around the stunning Kornati islands , notice the incredible landscape of the Kornati crowns (cliffs) which were shaped by the sea. These magnificent cliffs will make your cruise worthwhile and impress you over and over.

No matter if you are a beginner or an experienced scuba diver, you can enjoy snorkeling around Kornati or diving with your private diving instructor to explore the Kornati underwater crowns, which are full of colourful marine life. We suggest the spots around Piškera and Rašip islands.

Kornati Islands are also recognized as famous gastronomical heaven for yachts. Moor right in front of numerous restaurants and enjoy exquisite fine dining, as well as various seafood and unmatched service. The SuperYachts Croatia team will make sure you have the best seats in the 1st class restaurant of your choice.

Day 4: Telašćica Nature Park

Embark on a wild adventure in the Telašćica Nature Park and reconnect with unspoiled nature on the southern side of Dugi Otok. This island park is a popular destination for yachts and nature lovers. Apart from pristine bays, you will get to discover majestic white cliffs, roaring 200m above sea level, mighty and unmovable.

You will also have the opportunity to visit the salty lake “Mir” ( translated to “peace” in Croatian) and soak in its waters, which are known to possess healing properties. You can also discover countless private coves around its 13 surrounding islands; witness this lush Eden of the Adriatic, also home to more than 500 different plant species.

Imagine starting your day snorkeling with numerous colourful marine animals, sponges and corals that have found their home in this exceptional park.

Day 5: Dugi Otok

Drop your anchor at Sakarun , the best wild beach in Croatia, famous for its white sand and crystal clear sea. There are a few beach bars that offer cocktails, lounging areas and light snacks. Enjoy the fine white sand and Caribbean colours, which are truly a unique phenomenon in the Adriatic.

This 800-meter-long lagoon offers enough space for a perfect beach escape under a lush pine forest. Since Sakarun bay slopes very gently, kids can splash around in the sea and play in the sand as they please.

For your next spot on Dugi Otok, we suggest exploring the majestic Golubinka sea cave. Here, you can dive straight into the ‘underground world’ and discover a beautiful pebbly cave beach. Outside the cave, you can try cliff jumping, if you are up for the challenge, or just relax and enjoy the shallow turquoise Brbišćica

Drop your anchor in stunning Pantera Bay, one of the most beautiful and popular destinations for yachtsmen, located on the northwestern side of the island. From here you can take a relaxing walk through the pine forest and explore the Punta Bianca at Veli Cape,  overlooking the majestic bays of Dugi Otok .

Besides the extraordinary nature, Dugi Otok is also home to the remains of a 70 meters long military tunnel. used for sheltering submarines. Explore this fantastic army hideout and find out more about submarine warfare in the Adriatic from your knowledgeable crew.

Day 6: Silba – Olib

On Silba island, experience a unique snorkeling adventure and discover hidden treasures beneath the surface of the sea, better known as the sunken sarcophagi near Pocukmarak bay. On the other hand, you could also enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear sea near the sandy Sotorišće Bay or just take a nice and relaxing walk through an island without any cars or traffic.

Visit the Open Air Art gallery and admire the unique sculptures made by the Croatian sculptress Marija Ujević- Galetović. Cruise with your yacht charter to the nearby island Olib and moor your yacht near Slatina bay on Olib island, which will charm you with its stunning seabed.

Refresh yourself with an afternoon dip in St. Nikola bay, full of untouched nature. Feel the sand beneath your feet as you relax with a refreshing drink or a cocktail in the shallow sandy lagoon and soak up the surroundings. Enjoy exploring the countless secluded coves, dive with exciting fish species or just relax in your yacht pool, far away from the crowd with a spectacular view.

Day 7: Olib – Pag – Velebit – Zadar

On your last day of yacht charter in the Zadar area, you can observe the majestic landscape or Croatia`s biggest mountain chain, by cruising through the Velebit Channel and enjoying the view of the islands and the Velebit mountain range. Be sure to visit the island of Pag, which is full of culinary surprises.

Try Paški cheese and Paška lamb and enjoy the magnificent views of the bare and unreal surface of Pag. This unique island got its nickname “the Moon Island” because its bare landscape reminds people of the surface of the moon, especially in the evening when the moon shines over the calm sea with a silvery haze.

The truth is, Pag is bare due to strong Bura winds from the north, although its moonlike appearance made Pag a perfect filming location for multiple TV shows like ‘The Terror’ , ‘Winnetou’, ‘Top Gear’ and many commercials for famous brands like Bugatti, Rimac and Audi.

Apart from UNESCO heritage treasures like Paška lace , Pag conceals another gem – the impressive Zrće beach , also known as the “Croatian Ibiza”, where you can moor your yacht at Club Noa and enjoy the beats from your yacht deck.

Zrće beach is one of the best spots for electronic music in Europe and every year it hosts numerous big names from the electronic scene (Guetta, Tiesto, Garrix, Carl Cox, Hardwell, Van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike..) with world-known celebrities.

In Croatia , luxury yacht charter groups intent on extensively cruising the coastline by motor yacht or sailing yacht always make sure to include Zadar as a destination, not only for its top quality marina facilities but for the incredible Venetian and Roman influences that mark its history, interspersed with an array of modern attractions.

Zadar is an exemplary model of this, where the Old Town and Archaeological Museum provide thorough insight into life in Zadar in the past, and nearby island 'Dugi Otok' is a treasure trove of Scuba diving sites and pristine beaches with countless secluded anchorages.

More about this part of the Adriatic Sea

Plenty of superyachts and luxury travellers visit Zadar, especially during the summer months. This makes Zadar the unofficial converging point of yacht charter sailors and holidaymakers. Majority of tourists that come to Zadar are from Germany and the UK, and because of this, German and English are considered as the unofficial languages in Zadar.

The city lies on an important maritime route, making it a favourite jump-off point for tourists who want to spend their Croatian holiday on board a luxury motor yacht or sailing yacht of their choice.

Zadar is the perfect starting point for any yacht charter holiday in Croatia as you can conveniently set sail and reach other important tourist destinations in the region, including the cities of Rijeka and Dubrovnik. On top of this, Zadar is also an ideal jump-off point if you want to access Italy’s Ancona city, which lies on the opposite end of the Adriatic, and Venice to the north is another iconic city that many choose to include in the group's luxury yacht itinerary.

Moreover, with Italy on the western side of the Adriatic Sea, gelaterias, rich chocolates and some of its best and most iconic savoury dishes have integrated into modern Croatian culture, which has long had influences from Rome.

Zadar Yacht Charter Experiences

Zadar and the northern Istria coastal region provides a great sample of everything that is worthwhile and stunning about Croatia. A holiday in this popular yacht charter destination alone will almost be a complete experience of the best of authentic Croatia: A leisurely walk along the narrow Zadar streets is already an experience to remember, as you can already get a clear glimpse at the rich culture and history of Croatia. In Old Zadar there are Roman and Venetian landmarks teeming with opulence and grandiosity.

Notable landmarks and places with historical and cultural importance include the cathedral of St. Anastasia, the Roman Forum, the Archaeological Museum, Riva’s famed Sea Organ where music is made by the sea (be sure to pass by during the day and the evening), and the University.

A stroll through the city waterfront will also reveal numerous boutiques and market stall vendors selling authentic local crafts like woven textiles, handcrafted laces and traditional sleepers made from sheepskin. A more contemporary souvenir can be found in the galleries and jewellers before you head to the nearby islands for peace, quiet and the alluring beaches and coves just a short cruise away from the city. Dugi Otok stands out for its beautiful coastal caves, clear snorkel and Scuba diving sites and picture perfect villages set within a rugged pastoral landscape.

If you choose to venture farther inland, the Nacionalni Park Plitvička Jezera features numerous stunning waterfalls that have UNESCO World Heritage status.

Things to Consider:

Yachting seasons & climate:.

Zadar has hot summer with little to no rain and mild winters that are the most likely time of the year for rainfall, but still have enough dry days and indoor amusements to attract yacht charter groups. The sea temperatures are a warm 25°C/77°F during July and August where there is also the most daylight summer hours.

The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are also excellent for cruising as well as visiting the local villages and other land-based attractions, and at 17°C/63°F, guests can comfortably relax outdoors in the sunshine on the sundeck.

Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:

Away from the beaches visitors and locals typically opt for smart-casual attire, and visits to religious sites should cover thighs and shoulders - tank tops, short shorts and flip flops are generally not acceptable.

Air conditioned buildings can feel chilly after the hot summer outdoors and visitors might want to carry a long lightweight layer for this purpose, and to keep off the coastal winds after sundown.

Main Ports and Marinas:

Zadar Marina, Borik Marina, Dalmacija Marina, Kornati Marina

Famous Restaurants & Clubs

Kaštel Restaurant, Foša Restaurant

A Must See Attraction:

Museum of Illusions, Church of St. Donatus, Roman Forum, Archaeological Museum Zadar, Dugi Otok, Nacionalni Park Plitvička Jezera

Best beaches to visit in your yacht:

Prasna Beach, Dugi Beach, Brbinjšćica Bay

Local Yacht Events:

Easter Regatta, Kornati Cup, Croatia Coast Cup, Adriatic Regatta

Best time to go:

Summer is the Mediterranean yacht charter season and it peaks around July and August, however as Croatia has warm temperatures from May until October, the shoulder seasons are just as viable for those looking to avoid the crowds.

However, July and August have the most sunshine hours and warm sea temperatures hovering around 24°C/75°F, making it ideal for groups with young children and those who have an aversion to cold. If you ever want a moment to yourself, simply sail off to the islands and relax on a fine sand beach.

We are passionate about our business and dedicated to providing you with the best tailor-made experience. Whether you are buying, selling or chartering a yacht, if you need reliable yacht management support and assistance for your yacht, organization of a yachting event, or concierge services, we are here to support you, providing the best possible service.

OUR STRENGTHS: TEAM WORK AND A PASSION FOR YACHTING

We are a team of young and enthusiastic professionals with an in depth knowledge of yachting industry. Multilingual and multitalented, Yacht IN team stands out truly making a boutique yachting company.

We act as one, sharing our know-how and experience, directed to a single goal -to give you the best possible service, always attuned to your personal needs.

Our main focus is luxury yachting in the Mediterranean, the most popular yachting area in the world, and an area that we know very well. You see, we believe that having local and regional partners is crucial. You need someone who knows the market and market activities, who has the logistics and set-up necessary to supply all the required services and products and, of course, to promote sales.

That said, this doesn’t mean that our network doesn’t extend globally as international business makes most of our references.

OUR STORY: YACHTING IS OUR LIFE

Yacht IN was founded in 2010 with one mission: to become the region’s leading service provider for global citizens who seek expertise and the highest quality, in maintaining a lifestyle of passion and luxury.

We must, however, point out that our team was in the yachting business years before 2010. Our founders, Slaven and Matija, were working in the industry for years before they decided to combine their experience, creativity and vision behind Yacht IN.

Slaven Knežević perfected his role as super yacht captain while Matija Zelić matured as yacht sales specialist in world’s most eminent shipyards.

Over the course of the years, other professionals have joined the team, and Yacht IN has grown into a renowned and trusted name in the yachting industry.

Today, we can proudly say that we have fulfilled the mission we set out when we started Yacht IN. However, we still work hard every day to improve our operations and to give you the best possible personalized service.

We strive to go beyond expectations excelling in all areas of our business: yacht sales, yacht charter and yacht management while we continue to innovate, explore and evolve.

It is true that a ship is safe in the harbour, but that is not what a ship is built for. The same goes for us!

Zadar Yacht Charters

Visit a medieval port city surrounded by walls and towers and pretty beaches on your zadar yacht charter.

Boasting an incredible history and a rich cultural heritage, the city of Zadar, takes yacht charter guests a step back in time. With historical artifacts from the ancient and Medieval eras scattered across city streets, Zadar was unintentionally designed with the explorer in mind.

Characterized by quaint cobblestone streets – each of which is surrounded by elements of Zadar’s obvious culture: outdoor concerts, theaters, museums, and archeological exhibitions – the city is a world of its own.

Contrasting its historic feel is its reputation as the urban center of northern Dalmatia. Home to more than 75,000 residents, a large number for a city of its size, Zadar is the cultural, economic, and political center of the area; making it the perfect place for yacht charter guests to come to experience its antiquated past, delicious local fare, mystical Adriatic Sea views and enchanting way of life.

Zadar Yacht Charters – Things to Do & See

The Church of Saint Donat

Dating back to the 9th century, the Church of Saint Donat – the most famous monument in all of Zadar – was built upon the remains of the Roman forum, by the very bishop after which it is named. First made public by the Byzantine Emperor, Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos, in the middle of the 10th century, this church is used, today, for important musical performances; due primarily to its extraordinary acoustics.

Roman Forum

Located in front of The Church of Saint Donat and the Archbishop’s Palace, Zadar’s Roman Forum was founded by the first Emperor Augustus – as documented on two of the monument’s stone inscriptions (“Illyricum, Tamfil Vaale”), dating back to the 3rd century. A symbol of Zadar’s complicated past, this site is also home to the “pillar of shame,” known for being the place where punished individuals were chained during the Middle Ages.

Saint Anastasia’s Cathedral

Built on the prior site of an early Christian church, Saint Anastasia’s Cathedral is the largest of its kind in all of Dalmatia. Characterized by an early Christian basilica, 12th-century Romanesque architecture and an inscription of Archbishop John dating back to 1324, this piece of Dalmatian heritage tell a new story everywhere you turn.

The Church of Saint Simeon

Dating back to the 16th century, the Church of Saint Simeon is a product of much historical reform – changing from a Christian three-nave basilica, to a piece of Gothic architecture, to even later, a provincial baroque church. One of the most notable elements of this church is the silver chest that sits on its altar. Once belonging to Saint Simeon himself circa 1380, this relic was ordered by Queen Elizabeth herself, and designed by Franjo, a popular goldsmith from Milan who lived in the city of Zadar.

Found east of the Adriatic Sea in the Dalmatia region of Croatia, Zadar is a unique port city perfect for a private yacht charter. Above its rich history, the Zadar region has so much natural beauty including national parks and lovely beaches. With a sailing holiday, you can explore the entire Adriatic coast, leaving you with unforgettable memories.

How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Zadar?

As you search through yachts on Scansail, you will find a range of prices. This is because the price of a private yacht charter in Zadar varies depending on factors such as the boat type, the time of year, and the size of the vessel. This being said, the average prices per boat type are listed below.

€1,667 per week

€1,470 per week

€1,540 per week

€3,500 per week

€2,800 per week

What is the best time to visit Zadar?

The optimal time for your sailing adventure is between June and September, with an average of 12 hours of sunshine per day, water temperatures of 23.5 degrees Celsius, and outdoor temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius. Therefore, nothing will stand in the way of your jump into the turquoise blue water.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

It is possible to book a private yacht without a skipper, however, having one on board can provide many benefits to your overall experience. For example, a skipper will take care of the sailing, docking and anchoring of your vessel. This will leave you with more time to relax and enjoy the sights of the Zadar archipelago. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the region, so they will ensure that you see the very best beaches and attractions. Ultimately, a skipper will help you have a more luxurious experience.

What to do in Zadar?

Centre of zadar.

Zadar is a city with a 3,000-year-long history. In Roman antiquity, it became an urban centre and remained so for two millennia. Its alleys, squares, seawall, churches and monumental heritage reveal the city's antiquity and continuity at every turn, while its modern facilities show the vision of modernity and inspire new travellers. You can take a journey through time by visiting the Roman Forum and diving deep into the history of Croatia. You can also visit the Church of St Donatus from the 9th century. The church is the largest pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

Veli Rat lighthouse

Want to reach high and enjoy unforgettable views? Then you must marvel at the tallest lighthouse on the Adriatic locally. The 42-metre-high structure is located just 35 kilometres west of the city of Zadar on the north west cape of the island of Dugi Otok. Fun fact: The lighthouse's specific bright yellow colour is because 100,000 eggs were mixed into it during construction.

Are you a fan of art? Then we recommend visiting this architectural object that is simultaneously an experimental musical instrument. Located in the western part of the Zadar peninsula in Croatia, the Sea Organ consists of a group of pipes running under a large marble staircase. The sea waves create air pressure that produces random but quite harmonically arranged sounds in the pipes.

Kornati Islands

Are you attracted to pristine islands with a dreamy character? Sail to the Kornati Islands, where you will find 140 uninhabited islands. You can begin your journey from Marina Borik or Zadar Marina and then navigate with your boat rental to the islands. Circling around these islands with your private yacht charter is a great opportunity to see all the fantastic bays and rocky cliffs of the landscape. Make sure to take your snorkelling goggles! The crystal clear waters offer a great chance to admire the unique marine life of the area that hides within the caves and grottoes.

Explore nearby destinations on your private yacht charter

One of the many advantages of chartering a yacht in Zadar is that there are so many beautiful destinations nearby. This way, if you have the time, we highly recommend island hopping or taking several days to explore more of the Mediterranean! For example, you can of course travel west until you reach the eastern coast of Italy. Alternatively, if you have more time, you can head south to the Ionian Sea and visit southern Italy or Greece. No matter where you decide to go, you are sure to have an unforgettable boating holiday!

Sunday (Skradin/Krka - Overnight)

Early morning panoramic cruise towards UNESCO World heritage site, the town Šibenik. Leaving open sea behind, we head upriver through the spectacular Krka river canyon, largest mussel growing natural habitat in Croatia. Buy some mussels or oysters from local fischermen and later prepare for dinner. Secluded Skradin village, where Krka river plunges into the sea is where we moor for the night. This "Dalmatian town on a lake" is surrounded by lush-green hills boasting with diverse flora and fauna. To reach the heart of this 14.000-acre park, you will need to take a shuttle boat next morning and explore the waterfalls. Tonight simply enjoy your evening and blend into the pulse of charming Skradin village. Some of the best restaurants are located in the heart of this town. Ideal setting for exploring unique local delicacies...

Monday (Primošten - Overnight)

 A refreshment stop for lunch on the "island of chorals" Zlarin to dive into the crystal-clear sea will be welcoming after a 2-hour down-river cruise. Later we anchor our boat in charismatic Primošten. Reflecting a original pulse of Dalmatia, this seaside village is one of the most beloved sailing holiday locations in Croatia .

Nowadays this buzzing Adriatic pearl is crisscrossed with cobbled streets and impressive natural walls surrounding the citadel.

Tuesday (Kornati National Park - Overnight)

Take the opportunity of this town markets and supply your yacht for the next 2 days. For today we set sail towards Kornati national park, one of the Croatia's natural wonders. No shops or cars can be found within this magnificent island chain of over 140 unique yellow-coned islands, islets and rocks. There is no better location to swim in crystal-clear waters and explore this untouched underwater habitat. The continental part includes only ¼ of the surface of the park, while the rest belongs to the rich marine eco-system and is protected by the state authority since 1980. On the way we stop in one of the lovely coves at the island Žirje for lunch and swimming.

Day 6, Thursday (Murter - Overnight)

Thursday (murter - overnight).

Some supply shopping for the next two days is almost necessary after 2 days in the wilderness. Having a breakfast anchored on a secluded  island to admire its turquoise clear water and have a quick refreshing dive is a must. Afternoon tail winds will later push us towards the island Murter , where you can opt between:

• Visiting largest island village and check its promenades

Day 7, Friday (Zadar - Overnight)

Friday (zadar - overnight).

On our last day we still have some time to walk through the streets in Murter and have a cup coffee and a croissant in one of the bars of the town's square and fill up the missing fuel in sailboat  tanks. Refreshment and a midday snack in a isolated cove and one last swim before docking in our home marina is best way to spend the last day at sea. Later in the afternoon, we sail back to our home marina.

If you didn't get the chance to visit Zadar at your arrival, then an evening stroll along this Romanesque city is an excellent chance to buy some souvenirs or listen to the natural »sea pipe organ« melodies.

The sea motion is literally making music while hitting the concrete promenade. Its is also a great opportunity to have a romantic dinner in a seaside restaurant.

Renting a boat with or without a skipper?

At Click&Boat, you have the option to rent a boat with or without a skipper in Zadar , Croatia . Even if you have a valid sailing licence, we always recommend opting for a skippered vessel to enhance your experience on the water. Skippers are nautical professionals that will dock, anchor and sail the vessel for you so that you don’t have to worry about anything but enjoying your holiday to the fullest extent. If you have a sailing licence and want to take on the challenge of navigating the boat, do not worry!

A skipper can simply serve as an extra set of hands in an emergency. But perhaps the best part about having a skipper present is that they are locals of the area and can take you to see everything on your sailing itinerary and more. They will show you all the most sought-after sights and some hidden gems you might not have known about otherwise. For an all-inclusive and personalised yacht charter, rent a boat in Zadar with a skipper!

If you have sailing experience and prefer a bareboat charter for your sailing adventure, you can rent a boat without a skipper in Zadar . However, you must provide the necessary certifications  demonstrate proficiency in handling the chosen vessel. Keep in mind that sailing in unfamiliar waters can be challenging, so thorough preparation and navigational skills are a must.

What season is the best to charter a boat in Zadar?

The best time for a yacht charter in Zadar is between June and September because of the low rainfall and hot summer sun. The average sea temperature is at its highest for those wanting to dive off their yacht charter into the beautiful Croatian waters. Zadar hosts various cultural events and festivals throughout the year. The summer months are particularly vibrant with music festivals and cultural celebrations.

During the shoulder season in May and October, you will find cooler weather but much quieter streets as there are fewer tourists. Boat renters can also benefit from lower prices during the mid-season compared to the high season. Therefore, the best time to charter a boat in Zadar largely depends on your preferences and interests.

What type of boat is best for Zadar?

The type of boat you should for your Zadar boat rental will depend on the sort of holiday you want. If you only plan to sail for a few days, we’d recommend a daily rental, such as a motorboat or a RIB.

However, if you’re after a longer holiday of a week or more, we’d recommend a more spacious and comfortable vessel such as a catamaran. This boat is ideal for family holidays or a trip with a group of friends, and it comes fully equipped with all the necessary accommodations onboard, such as a kitchen, bathroom and cabins.

For a more traditional sailing experience, we’d recommend a sailboat rental however, you should always choose one with a skipper since these boats can be tricky to navigate. The best boat type depends on your group size and preferences.

Croatia Yacht Show

1.10. – 3.10.2024., zadar cruise port, croatia, endorsed by.

What is Croatia Yacht Show?

Croatia Yacht Show, organized by the Yachtmaster Group , is the first ever super yacht show in Croatia which will present more than 50 crewed charter yachts operating in the Adriatic, to the international yacht charter industry.

CREWED CHARTER YACHTS

Croatia Yacht Show has a primary mission of promoting Croatia as a superyacht destination, as well as a growing crewed charter market. Additionally, it will promote the central agents managing yachts in the Adriatic, as well as individual owners of crewed charter yachts, and their services, to the worldwide professional yacht charter community.

Registration

What is the b2b model.

An estimated 50 crewed yachts are managed by roughly 20-40 companies. These companies and their crew will meet up with retail brokers from all over the world. Meetings will be held on the respective yachts; assisted and scheduled by matchmaking software.

Additionally, to the primary yacht charter meetings, various charter-related services will be presented by vendors: supply and yacht management companies, luxury transfer providers on land, sea, and air, yacht tenders, water toys, accessories, various service providers, etc.

The goal of the B2C addition?

The yacht area, meant for B2B meetings, will be completely separated from publicly accessible areas. The public will be permitted to enter a specified area, to view the supercar exhibit, the arial transfer vehicle exhibit, the tenders, as well as other exhibits, except the yachts.

Central agents and brokers will be able to register their clients under confidential, numbered accounts, with full access to the professional area.

Why this location?

Zadar is within reach of all Adriatic-based yachts. The new infrastructure of the Zadar Cruise Port offers sufficient space for 100+ superyachts and several megayachts, which is our goal for next year's yacht show. Even with the substantial future growth of Croatia Yacht Show, the location will remain suitable. The visitors will arrive via road, air and sea, from all parts of the world.

11. From Zadar: Full-Day Boat Trip to Sakarun Beach with Lunch

⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 12 hours | Check it out!

The Zadar to Sakarun beach day trip is one of the most popular boat trips in Zadar.

Sakarun Beach is famous as it is one of the only sandy beaches in the Zadar area.

The beach is hard to reach if you don’t have a car, so joining a boat excursion is a good way to get there. 

Unlike other tours on this list, this tour is mostly just a transfer. You’ll take a boat to the port near the beach, and then a bus to the beach. You’ll have about 5 hours to spend on the beach and enjoy the water, before heading back.

Breakfast and small lunch are included, but they don’t accommodate dietary restrictions so bring your own food if you’re vegan.

I know it’s annoying paying for something you won’t use, so you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons.

“ Simply beautiful, you have to experience and see it once. About an hour by boat then in groups to the bus station and 5 minutes down to the beach !” – GetYourGuide traveler, Austria (read more reviews )
