Top 5 underrated places in Croatia to visit on a Yacht Charter

These underrated places in Croatia may not have been visited by the biggest celebrities or graced with an internet page, but that is the main reason why they are perfect!

Drop anchor in Zavrtnica bay

If you are looking for a bay with a crystal clear sea, perfect viewpoints, an enchanting background for posting on social media, and an astonishing seabed, welcome to Zavrtnica! You will not be able to believe that there exists such flawless natural beauty, hidden in one of the most underrated places in Croatia!

One of the most beautiful bays in the Croatian Adriatic Sea was declared a protected landscape in 1964 and in 1981 it became a part of the Velebit Nature Park. The contrast of grey stone, green vegetation, and the beautiful blue sea will remain in your memory forever!

If you decide to visit this bay while chartering a yacht in Croatia, you will be ecstatic to learn one more fantastic thing! Only a few meters beneath the surface lies the remains of a sunken World War II warship. Let your crew prepare snorkeling or diving equipment and experience a sight that can rarely be seen elsewhere.

Utilise your yacht water toys at Pasjača beach

This stunning beach in Croatia’s far south has been named Europe’s best beach and has been kept hidden from tourists for years, serving only as a beach for locals. That is why its beauty is incomparable, and the best way to get there is to charter a yacht because going down and climbing up the lengthy steps is not an option if you have children or are unable to walk that distance.

Since you are surrounded by the infinite blue sea, this is also an excellent spot to have fun with water toys. Let your crew take out the standup paddleboards, jet skies and tubes, so you could enjoy this underrated place in Croatia in a different way.

Jump from your yacht & swim towards the St. John beach

St. John Beach is a white sandy beach located in the bay near Lubenice, a little village perched on a high cliff with a stunning view of the bay. This marvellous beach is located on the island of Cres – one of the biggest islands in Croatia. If you are not ready to hike, the best way to arrive on this beach is to charter a yacht in Croatia. 

The St. John beach is intriguing to yacht charter guests due to its seclusion and unspoiled environment. It is excellent for a calm vacation since it is hard to reach, guaranteeing fewer crowds.

Visit the Golden Bay beach, accessible only by a yacht

The Golden Bay Beach is a gorgeous pebble bay on the west coast of Krk island. Since it is impossible to reach this beach on foot due to the very steep slope, chartering a yacht is the only way to get there.   

The pebble beach is situated in front of a large towering rock, above which friendly sheep graze. Furthermore, two smaller caves are also located near the shore, so it is perfect for exploring, snorkeling, kayaking, or swimming.

Explore the lighthouse with your yacht crew near Veli Žal beach

On the remote rocky islet of Palagruža, located halfway between Croatia and Italy, you will discover two lovely pebble beaches: Stara Vlaka and Veli žal. 

Veli Žal beach, also known as the Croatian Maldives, is a truly magical place that you must visit at least once in your life. Thanks to its beauty and purity, easy access to the sea, pebble cover, sandy groundwater, and magnificent sunsets, it is only accessible if you charter a yacht in Croatia.

Furthermore, you can also stumble upon a lighthouse and a meteorological station. If you are lucky enough your captain can arrange an al-fresco dining experience with the lighthouse keeper where he will tell you interesting stories about this beach while you sip your favourite rose or white wine.
