Croatia gets over 2500 hours of sunshine each year, which ranks it as one of the sunniest regions in the Mediterranean. It has a mild Mediterranean climate with dry and hot summers, perfect for a dream yacht charter vacation. The best time to visit Croatia is any time of the year, but the best time for a yacht charter is from early April until late October.

Croatia’s sea, mountains, beaches, national parks and nature resorts are just some of the reasons why you should visit Croatia. You can come to Croatia any time of the year and you will enjoy all the amazing activities that this country has to offer.

We confidently recommend that the best time to visit Croatia is between April and October. This time of the year is ideal for a yacht charter and swimming in the turquoise waters of the Croatian Adriatic Sea; you could also visit some more remote places and islands.

What I really like about Croatia is that in April you can enjoy a sunny beach near the city of Opatija and just 30 minutes away, on Platak mountain, you can savour winter activities covered by snow.

The high season for chartering a yacht is July and August, the middle season is May, June, and September, and the low season is April and October. Whatever you choose, you are not going to make a mistake, because Croatia is perfect any time of the year!

Book your yacht charter in Croatia during July & August since the sea and air temperatures are excellent

The heart of the high summer season is from the 10th of July until the 25th of August. If you enjoy hot summers and busy destinations, the best time to visit Croatia is during this time. With a yacht charter, you can work around the crowds or avoid them entirely, enjoying 100% privacy in the middle of the season.

You can definitely find an intimate beach on uninhabited islands, where you can enjoy swimming and feeling the refreshing sea on every part of your body. Enjoy a private and exclusive experience on one of Croatia`s 1244 islands.

In July and August you will experience the real Croatia, but make your reservations on time because everything can be fully booked.

This is when all the parties happen! In these peak summer months, music fans will adore the Croatian coast, full of cool festivals and concerts. The 3rd day of the Croatian most popular festival – Ultra Music Festival is always reserved for an island party in the middle of July; if you charter a yacht, you can come to the party with your vessel without thinking about ferry tickets. Croatia was officially named the new festival city of Europe by the Guardian, and it is easy to see why.

If you are a party person, you can party all day and night at the beach or we can organise a private party on an island only for you and your friends with the best Croatian DJs.

Enjoy the middle season – beaches are not too crowded & the temperature is ideal

May, June, and September are the best months to visit Croatia if you do not like crowded cities and beaches, but still want to enjoy the sunny days. If you charter a yacht any time of the year, you will find private spots for swimming and sunbathing.

During the middle season, all the top-tier restaurants are open and the air temperatures are ideal for spending all day on the beach or exploring popular islands. The temperature of the sea is perfect in May, June and September if you want to refresh yourself. For chartering a yacht, this is a perfect combination of nice weather and no tourists.

In June, the “Spring food and wine festival” on Korčula island showcases a series of themed dinners, workshops, and presentations, enabling guests to try authentic and traditional food and wine.

Prices are much lower during April and October

April or October are ideal months for those who are looking for a relaxing vacation without having to worry about hot days. During this time of the year, the winds are mild and the sea is peaceful. When other European experience the first signs of winter, Croatia is still a great yacht charter destination, perfect for someone who does not like hot weather.

Temperatures move between 18 to 21 degrees Celsius (65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit), and you will see local people celebrating the beginning of the end of the season. They can show you how to prepare some local dishes or you can just enjoy listening to stories about Croatian history or heritage.

During April and October prices are much lower in Croatia.
