Catamaran Charter Split & Catamaran Rental

Charter a catamaran in Split with Click&Boat

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the capital of Dalmatia. It is a popular stopover or starting point for tourists embarking on a Split catamaran charter to explore the enchanting nearby islands. Along the coast of Split, there are numerous splendid spots to visit, including several stunning beaches, such as the central beach of Bačvice. From Split, one can easily venture to the picturesque islands of Brač and Hvar. These islands boast exquisite small coves and beaches, such as Zlatni Rat, where one can pause and savour the surroundings. For those seeking to cruise further south, Korčula is a must-see destination. Besides being the birthplace of Marco Polo, this island offers an ideal setting for active holiday enthusiasts, with activities like scuba diving, sailing, surfing, jet skiing, and swimming.

Now, why opt for a catamaran? Due to their dual-hulled design, catamarans offer superior stability and steadiness compared to motor or sailboats. They provide the perfect opportunity to unwind and appreciate the breathtaking views. When you charter a catamaran with a skipper, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without worrying about the boat. You can embrace the historical and captivating landscapes of the Croatian Island of Split. Furthermore, catamarans generally offer more space than motorboats or sailboats and can accommodate approximately 12 people. This makes them an excellent choice for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a romantic getaway with ample space and privacy.

What to do on your catamaran rental in Split.

Catamarans offer a wonderful choice for a diverse range of people, simultaneously providing relaxation and adventure. You can drop anchor at a serene and secluded beach, basking in the year-round sun that graces Split, or plunge into the crystalline waters for a refreshing swim and indulge in thrilling water sports. When you charter a catamaran in Split with a skipper, they are more than just your driver—they often possess extensive local knowledge, serving as experts who can guide you to the finest locations. If you desire to snorkel and engage with the local marine life, your skipper will know the prime spots. If you want to rent a jet ski for an exhilarating hour, your skipper can direct you to the optimal locations. Even if catamarans are not traditionally used for fishing, you can message the owner of your catamaran rental to inquire about arranging fishing equipment on board, enabling you to try your hand at sea fishing.

Where can you sail from Split?

Brac

Just off Split lies Brac, the largest island in the Dalmatia region and the third largest in the Adriatic. Known for its agriculture and high-quality raw materials, Brac produces delicious olive oils and wines. However, the island's most renowned export is its pure white limestone, which has been used to construct famous buildings, including the White House in Washington, DC.

Brac is also home to the famous beach Zlatni Rat, a stunning 500-meter-long headland extending from the island. While the beach is exceptionally popular during the peak summer months, visiting during the low season is advisable to avoid crowds.

Vis

Continuing approximately 18 nautical miles further into open waters, you will reach the island of Vis. This gem in the Adriatic Sea remained untouched by tourists due to its strategic military base location. As a result, Vis is often seen as an alternative destination to the typical sailing route, making it perfect for travellers seeking natural beauty and a tranquil experience.

The island is also renowned for producing some of Croatia's most exclusive wines, such as Plavac and Vugava. Wine enthusiasts are highly recommended to indulge in wine tasting. The two main resorts on the island are Vis Stad and Komiza, situated on opposite sides. Vis Stad, on the east side, has managed to preserve its traditional Mediterranean atmosphere despite increasing tourism. The city boasts one of Croatia's oldest centres, evident in its historic forts and amphitheatres.

On the west coast, the charming coastal community of Komiza awaits, nestled between crystal-clear waters and the slopes of Mount Hum. As a fishing village since the 14th century, Komiza has maintained strong ties to its fishing heritage. For a taste of traditional seafood dishes, Konobas Barba and BAKO come highly recommended.

Korcula

Heading east from Vis, you will eventually reach the island of Korcula. Korcula showcases a delightful blend of breathtaking natural landscapes, picturesque villages, and idyllic beaches. The island's largest town, Korcula, is on the west side. Recognised as one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean, Korcula boasts a rich history. It is the birthplace of the renowned explorer Marco Polo (1254-1324).

The old part of the city is famous for its medieval buildings and is often referred to as "Little Dubrovnik" due to its stunning architecture. A visit to Korcula is incomplete without savouring the local seafood and exploring one of the island's vineyards.

Hvar

On the return journey, a stop at the island of Hvar is nearly mandatory. The distance between Korcula and Hvar spans 32 nautical miles, offering one of Croatia's most scenic sailing routes. We recommend heading to Marina Palmizana on a small island outside Hvar town as you approach Hvar. This marina is renowned for its beauty, and you can easily reach the main island and Hvar via a sea taxi that operates until 11 in the evening.

If you prefer more flexibility, you can also sail directly into the port of Hvar City. Hvar is predominantly known for wine, lavender, and nightlife. Explore vineyards and olive groves while enveloped by lavender and rosemary scents. For those seeking vibrant nightlife, Hvar offers a fantastic selection. It is less crowded than famous party destinations like Ibiza and Ayia Napa. However, it still attracts people worldwide and hosts spectacular clubs, including Carpe Diem & Hula Hula, two highly acclaimed venues.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in Split?

The price of your catamaran rental will vary depending on several factors. These include the size of the catamaran, the time of year, the length of your rental, and the year the catamaran was built. Prices typically range from €300 to €3000 per day. Renting a catamaran during the high season will have a higher price tag, but you'll enjoy the best weather of the year. On the other hand, opting for a charter during the mid or low season means cooler weather, but you'll benefit from lower prices, quieter streets, and fewer tourists.

It is common to rent a catamaran for a week or longer, and 70% of our Catamarans are only available for weekly charters. Weekly prices start around €1,390 in the low season and €4,650 in the high season for 10 people. On the higher end, catamarans can cost €16,300/week in the low season and €35,000/week in the high season for 10 people. However, don't let these prices discourage you! A catamaran with a weekly rate of €2300 could accommodate up to 10 people, making the cost per person only €230 per week. So gather your friends, plan a week off, and reserve a catamaran charter in Split!
