Luxury at Sea: What to Expect from a Crewed Catamaran in Croatia

Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle waves, sipping your morning coffee on the deck of a stylish catamaran, and diving into turquoise waters before breakfast. That’s life on a crewed catamaran charter in Croatia—a floating luxury villa where your only job is to relax.
Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, a family reunion, or simply want to treat yourself to something special, here’s everything you can expect from this five-star experience at sea.
What Is a Crewed Catamaran Charter?
A crewed catamaran charter in Croatia means you’re not just renting a boat—you’re booking an experience. Your catamaran comes with a professional crew that typically includes:
- A skipper (your captain and local guide)
- A hostess or chef (for preparing meals, tidying up, and taking care of you onboard)
- Sometimes a full crew for ultra-luxury yachts, including a private chef, deckhand, or even a massage therapist
All you have to do is show up and let the crew take care of the rest.
Why Choose a Catamaran?
Catamarans are the go-to choice for luxury charters in Croatia, and for good reason:
- Spaciousness – With two hulls, catamarans offer more living space, larger cabins, and wider decks
- Stability – They barely rock, making them ideal for families or first-time sailors
- Style – Modern catamarans like Sunreef, Lagoon, or Bali are designed with luxury in mind—sleek lines, airy saloons, and plenty of lounging areas

What’s Life Like Onboard?
Here’s what your days could look like on a crewed catamaran in Croatia
Mornings:
Wake up in a calm bay, take a dip before breakfast, and enjoy a chef-prepared meal with fresh fruit, local pastries, and maybe a mimosa or two.
Afternoons:
Sail to a new island, swim in hidden coves, snorkel around ancient shipwrecks, or explore charming coastal towns like Hvar, Vis, or Korčula. The skipper knows all the best spots—including secret beaches and family-owned konobas.
Evenings:
Sip a glass of Croatian wine on deck at sunset, dine under the stars, or let your chef serve a romantic seafood dinner right on board. Want to explore the nightlife? Your skipper can anchor near lively ports like Split or Dubrovnik.

What’s Included in a Crewed Charter?
Every charter is a little different, but here’s what’s typically included:
✅ Professional skipper & hostess
✅ Onboard chef (on luxury catamarans)
✅ Daily housekeeping
✅ Full linens, towels & beach towels
✅ Snorkeling gear, paddleboards, sometimes even a jet ski
✅ Custom itinerary
✅ Fuel, mooring fees & food (usually covered through an APA or all-inclusive deal)
Good to Know: The APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is usually around 20-30% of the charter price and covers extras like food, fuel, and port fees.

- Couples & honeymooners
