Yacht Charter in Rijeka

Start your yacht charter holiday in Croatia by booking a superyacht in Rijeka. Known as the cradle of Croatian tourism, Rijeka and the wider Kvarner bay region have loads to offer to yacht charterers looking for a bit of seaside adventure, before venturing further into the Croatian Adriatic.

A key port for maritime traffic, as well as a tourist hub, Rijeka has managed to preserve its rich cultural heritage, in the form of neo-classical buildings, monuments, medieval castles and baroque churches.

Its hilltop villages offer astounding panoramas of the bay below, while its Lungomare seaside promenade, stretching for 11 full kilometres, offers travellers unique opportunities to enjoy Austro-Hungarian architecture, blended perfectly with garden-style walkways and the vast blue Adriatic sea.

With a rich history and a preserved culture, Rijeka is a vibrant city, where something is always happening somewhere, from festivals and carnivals to cultural manifestations, classical music concerts, popular entertainment and more.

WHY CHARTER IN RIJEKA

Visit Rijeka, a one-of-a-kind city, filled with vibrant events, culture and tradition, beautiful beaches, pristine nature and colourful people. Walk the energetic main promenade of the city, known as the Korzo, where all the locals stroll in the afternoon, sipping coffee while they people-watch.

Peek into the small streets that spread from the old town core like roots, taking you on a time trip and leading you to cultural monuments and beautiful architecture that reminds onlookers of the rich historic value of Rijeka.

The wider area of Rijeka is also filled with incredible areas that beckon to be experienced, like hilltop villages, churches and forts. Farther still, you can climb high mountain peaks and marvel at the distant panorama and your yacht charter on the horizon. If you want to stick close to the shoreline, swim in the crystal-clear sea, dive near incredible shipwrecks or enjoy top-notch cuisine.

There are strong traces of Italian design that can be spotted by observing Rijeka`s architecture. Known as `Fiume` in Italian, Rijeka has long since been a key point of interest for Italian cultural and social influences. This is why some travellers spot similarities between Rijeka and, for example, Trieste.

There are many cultural manifestations and happenings to look forward to when going on a yacht charter in Rijeka, like the unavoidable Rijeka Carnival or one of many EDM festivals that take part all along Rijeka`s coastline.

WHEN TO CHARTER IN RIJEKA

Rijeka was first recognized as a centre for treating asthma, bronchitis and other similar ailments, which makes this city a terrific place to visit all year round, in regards to the traveller`s health. The fresh air mixes with sea salt and essential oils from Adriatic pines, creating an unbelievably beneficial mixture for all sorts of respiratory problems. Keep in mind that cruising in the summertime is entirely different from coming to Rijeka off-season.

Croatian climate is characterized by classic Mediterranean elements, like hot and dry summers and mild winters. The Croatian Adriatic sea measures about 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86F) in the summertime, which is perfect for staying in the clean sea for hours on end.

As the peak of the summer season passes, there are still sunny days that reward swimming, snorkelling or spending time in the water, without needing to worry about low temperatures. In autumn or winter, more experience with cruising or sailing is needed, seeing that a mighty Bora wind can blow at high speeds, sweeping everything in its path.

The area around Rijeka is known to possess a specific microclimate, where the high mountains in the rear attract rain clouds when the first signs of autumn come. By this time, only the most hardened of sailors and yachtsmen stay in this region, usually tending to move to the southern parts of the Croatian Adriatic.

General recommendations for yacht guests is to visit Rijeka in a broad gap between the months of April and October. Hitting the high season, from July to August means that you will encounter more yachts on the sea, as well as countless tourists on beaches and on Rijeka`s promenades. This should not worry you too much, seeing that a yacht charter is a perfect tool to avoid large crowds and focus on the content you want to experience without worrying about other people.

The peak of the summer season also brings with itself hot days and warm nights, with pleasant and low-speed winds, perfect for enjoying all the perks of the beautiful Croatian Adriatic sea. Another option would be to enjoy a yacht charter in Rijeka when it is less crowded, in the months of May, late September and the whole of October. During these times, the weather and the temperatures are more temperate, with virtually no people in sight, either on yachts or on the streets of Rijeka.

The wider Kvarner gulf area is characterized by pleasant temperatures and moderate winds, which produce mild weather forecasts with enjoyable sun, sea and air conditions. We recommend seizing all the benefits of the charter season and avoiding the summer crowds. How? Visit Rijeka at the start of the summer season, which means the last weeks of May and the first weeks of July, or at the end of the summer season, during the last weeks of September and the first week of October.

HOW TO GET TO RIJEKA

Rijeka, being a major traffic hub and an important port for maritime logistics, is fairly easy to reach.

Enjoy marvelous views, with the panorama stretching long over Rijeka and towards the sea and the Kvarner bay. Try to spot your yacht charter in Rijeka harbour with binoculars, courtesy of your yacht crew.

There are many markets, outlets, malls and shops, together with many places to dine and drink coffee under the sun. Locals tend to spend time sitting at bars, watching travellers from many different backgrounds and different parts of the world come together in Rijeka.

Sit beside them and enjoy Rijeka`s atmosphere, a blend of vibrant cultural and energetic cosmopolitanism. Marvell at the neo-classical buildings right next to the City Tower, one of Rijeka`s main landmarks. This tower had survived the destructive earthquake of 1750, and its working clocktower was first put into use in the 17th century. The area around the clock tower was known as the Roman Gate, a former entrance to a now-disappeared Roman fort.

Explore Saint Vitus Cathedral, the main place for holy worship in Rijeka , also known as the Rijeka Cathedral or `Katedrala Svetog Vida` in Croatian. Built in the Baroque period, its one-of-a-kind floor plan supports a structure that took nearly a century to finish, starting in 1638 and finishing in 1744.

Outside Rijeka and only 10 minutes by car, travellers can discover the hidden small town of Kastav, ¸which dates to the middle ages. There are remains of fortificational architecture from the 16th century, when noble families used to populate this area.

The stairway leads the climbers through the Rjecina Gorge, a combination of steep cliffs and wonderful tunnel vision panoramas of Rijeka below, surrounded by lush vegetation and vertical drops. Although a moderate climb, the stairway is entirely safe and is used daily by pedestrians for transit between Rijeka and Trsat.

Located on a hill outside of town, the centre is easy to reach and has thus far discovered 2 stars. The centre was constructed in 2001 on a site of a former World War II military complex, repurposing much of its previous infrastructure.

Moscenice is a charming coastal village, located about 15 miles southwest of Rijeka.

Because of a wide panorama, there will be no problem at all for you to spot your yacht charter, either anchored in the distance or berthed in Rijeka`s harbour.

Moscenice offers more than a view: its narrow and high alleyway lead to many small piazzas, similar to Italian medieval towns. Among more interesting architecture, it is worthy to mention 3 churches, built between the 16th and 17th centuries.

One of Rijeka’s many brags is that it was the city in which the torpedo was invented. The story goes that Giovanni Lupis, a retired naval officer, and Robert Whitehead, an engineer, were trying to think up ways of protecting Rijeka`s coastline, without the need for heavy ships.

In collaboration, the idea-man and the engineer came up with the „Coastal Saviour“, a world-first torpedo prototype.
