What is the best time for a Split yacht charter?

The best time to rent a yacht in Split would be between May and October, when you have warm weather and little to no rainfall. For the hottest weather, visit in the summer with averages of 28°C. However, summer is the high tourist season in Croatia which means that Split will be crowded and the prices of Split boat charters will be more expensive.For slightly lower prices and fewer crowds, we recommend a sailing experience at the tail ends of the high season in either May, June or September.

Looking for a luxury yacht charter in Split, Croatia? A large number of our boat rentals in Split include a skipper on board or allow a skippered option at an additional cost. Having a skipper on board will ensure that you have an even more enjoyable experience.

A skipper will know the area well, and so this is a wonderful chance for you to discover hidden beaches or lesser-known attractions situated just next to the Adriatic Sea. A skipper will also be able to adapt your sailing route so that it best suits both your desires and those of your family and friends. They will take care of the sailing, docking and anchoring of the boat. This means that you can sit back, worry-free, and soak in the beauty of this stunning city.

If you choose not to hire a skipper, make sure you have the appropriate boating licence for your boat. Alternatively, choose a boat that you can rent without a licence. Whether you decide to hire a yacht in Split with or without a skipper, you’re sure to have an unforgettable holiday.

What type of boat is best for a Split yacht hire?

If you’re wondering which type of vessel to choose for your Split boat rental, you have to think about the logistics of your sailing holiday. If you want to sail for a longer period of time it would be better to choose a comfortable and spacious vessel, fully equipped with all of the amenities you’ll need.

Yachts and catamarans are great options for longer sailing trips as they are usually rented by the week, and they have everything on board to accommodate all passengers. For a shorter time on the water, we recommend a daily charter such as a RIB or a motorboat. If you’re an avid sailor you might prefer a traditional sailboat. Be aware that sailboats can be difficult to navigate and should only be operated by experienced licence holders. Find the perfect vessel for your Split boat hire with Click&Boat.
