New Yacht Charter Idea for Large Groups Interested in Croatia

It’s not easy to find a charter vessel if you have a group of 24 to 40 people. When you want to spend a week on holiday together, you don’t want to have to “break the bank” to do so.

Meet Croatian Mini Cruisers – maybe the best ship like this in the world!

These ships have evolved over the past 30 years, from smaller wooden vessels to some of the most exclusive yachts you can find in the market.

Going from a cabin to a private charter model

Until recently, most of these ships were on cabin charter programs under contract for large tour operators.

This meant you could only book a limited number of cabins on predetermined routes, with limited flexibility about activities and food.

Private Charter Option

More and more vessels are now exploring the idea of switching from the cruising sector – cabin charters to offering private charter cruises for closed groups.
This is excellent news if you have your own group, as it gives you the chance to:

Decide your own route and have more flexibility on a day-by-day basis
Organize activities that are more suited to the group’s wishes
100% tailor food and drinks according to the group’s wishes
Combine staying in port or staying on anchor
Having closer and more genuine relationships with the crew if that’s what the group desires

Chartering an entire yacht just for your group is a great idea and one of the best holidays you can experience.

Prices for chartering a yacht like this in Croatia

The price range is extensive and depends on the yacht’s size and the season you are chartering.

However, for a luxury yacht that can accommodate around 35 people in high season, the charter prices range from € 40.000 to € 80.000 a week, plus extras for food and drinks.

When you calculate this on a per-person basis, this type of holiday will cost you € 1.500 to € 3.000 per person per week, including everything but flight tickets.
