Yacht infrastructure in Croatia
Germans opened Croatia to mass yachting and created the first charter companies providing boat rent in Croatia. Now lovers of yachts, sea, sail, and wind from Europe and worldwide can come to Croatia for vacation. Regarding the quality of yachting, Croatia successfully competes with traditional yachting countries such as Greece. The only drawback is the short season, lasting from May to September. Here, you can sail a yacht in winter and rent a yacht at any time of the year, but winter yachting in Croatia is for extreme sports enthusiasts.
Yachts for charter in Croatia
The yacht choice is quite large, but when renting a yacht, you must also be tied to the flight, especially if you have limited time and go straight from the plane to the yacht. From this point of view, the most convenient airports are Split and Pula.

Requirements for the skipper of a chartered yacht
Croatia boat rental assumes at least one crew member must have a licence to operate a yacht recognized by the Croatian authorities - an RYA, IYT certificate with an open corresponding category. The skipper must also have a radio operator's licence. It would help if you kept in mind that many charter companies, when renting out a yacht, are very pedantic in checking documents confirming the captain's qualifications.
Weather and climate of Croatia from a yachting point of view
The Adriatic coast of the Mediterranean region has warm, dry weather during summers and mild winters. On average, there are around 2,600 hours of sunshine annually, which makes this region one of the sunniest shorelines in Europe. On the other hand, the central country has a continental climate with hot summers and cold, snowy winters.

Croatian Yachting routes
Most yachters travel around Croatia on chartered yachts. This imposes certain restrictions on route planning. If you plan to travel on a yacht rented without a crew, the most critical limitation is that the route begins and ends in the same place. Of course, for an additional fee, you can take one way, but it is not worth doing so since when travelling around Croatia on rent boat, you can always build a circular route; starting and ending your trip in one place will allow you to save on flight tickets. Another limitation is the rental time. The rental period for boats is usually a week, with the yacht rental beginning and ending on Saturday.
