The cost of a Croatia yacht charter will depend primarily on the size of the yacht rental and the length of the charter. The entry point for crewed yacht charters in Croatia starts at around US$200,000 for one week and can rise to over a million for the world’s most luxurious superyachts.

The Advanced Provisioning Allowance, or APA, covers non-fixed costs, including fuel, berthing costs, and food and drinks. The APA is estimated by your luxury yacht broker depending on your desired vacation experience and paid for in advance of your luxury yacht charter. During your charter, your yacht’s Captain will keep detailed records of all expenditures. At the end of your charter, any remaining funds in the APA will be immediately returned to you.

The number of crew onboard your crewed yacht charter in Croatia will depend on the size of the vessel.
