Because of Croatia’s unique geography, getting around the country can be problematic and sometimes requires careful planning, but there will be no borders if you are travelling to Croatia by boat. Remember, a yacht charter is the best option to explore Croatia.

Borders and customs are not complicated for yacht charter guests

Croatia is a tourist country and every year more than 20 million people visit. When you are our yacht charter guest, you will enjoy full VIP treatment from start to finish; there will be no waiting on the border and customs for you. Croatia became part of the EU in 2013, but it is still not part of the ,,Schengen” zone. It has a border with Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

If you are travelling to Croatia from EU member countries, you can enter Croatia with just a personal ID. However, all other foreign nationals (anyone from outside the EU) need a valid passport to enter Croatia. Customs regulations are the same as in the EU and usually, it is not a big deal in comparison with Australia or the USA. There are almost no cases of unpleasant experiences between tourists and customs because Croatia is a very tolerant country and Croatian customs officers are full of understanding for people from all over the world, especially to yacht charter guests. Although, there are some items on the forbidden list, like guns, meat, eggs and associated products.

When you are travelling to Croatia, first check how many tobacco and alcoholic products can bring in:

If you decide to bring more than the above you will have to declare it and pay or leave it at the border.
In addition, your local broker – Superyachts Croatia, will take care of every additional problem,  so you can enjoy your superyacht vacation to the fullest.

Visas are not required for all EU countries

For tourist visits lasting less than 90 days, citizens of the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore do not need visas. For stays of more than 90 days, a visa is required which should be obtained in advance. You can enter Croatia without a Croatian visa if you have a Schengen visa.

You can always contact Superyacht Croatia for more information, and we will assist you in obtaining the visa. You may also go to the website of the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. You should fill out an online visa application (in a variety of languages) and review the status of your application if you’ve already submitted one.
