The Growing Appeal of Chartering in Croatia & Montenegro
Episode 17, Jul 02, 2023, 12:21 PM
For those in the know, Croatia is a jewel in the crown of the Eastern Mediterranean, with an archipelago of over 1,000 islands lining a dramatic coastline renowned for its natural beauty as much as its colourful history and culture.
Appealing broadly to nature lovers and discerning visitors in search of more than just the latest designer shopping outlets, hip clubs and fancy restaurants, Croatia has now added another string to her bow thanks to her status as the Schengen Area’s newest recruit.
This signifies great news for the region’s yachting industry as Croatia becomes an even more attractive prospect thanks to increased ease of entry and departure.
Last year, the country welcomed in excess of 1,000 superyachts over 25m to its waters, according to the Minister of Maritime Affairs. “Overall it was a good season, even with Greece, Italy and France back open, and there was a healthy market development,” explains Maja Ban, founder of MYS Yachting.
“We have more yachts for charter based in Croatia now and have improved the quality of locally built boats, which are more of a luxury charter standard now.
“Generally the 45-55m sail boats are spacious and well booked because they are very good value for money and provide a quality service at a lower price range than motor yachts. We are definitely seeing a wake up in the local market as well.”
