Croatia Yacht Charter

As in a few recent years, the demand for yacht charter in Croatia still shows constant growth. This means more and more guests are choosing Croatia as their yacht charter destination. Also, there are more and more boats in Croatia's yacht charter offer, with a big number of new catamaran arrivals. Significantly, the number of large and more luxurious catamarans is growing compared to previous years.

As you can see, so many new catamarans have arrived, and their number in the overall percentage of the Croatia's yacht charter fleet is growing trying to satisfy the demand.

Port fee prices are on the rise. We are not sure if that is a part of some economic or government's strategy, but obviously institutions and people responsible for setting price policies of port fees in Croatia have seen a space where they can raise their prices even more.

So, for this year port fee prices have generally gone up about 10%, but, more significantly, ACI marinas and some other private marinas have decided to rise port fees for catamarans in particular, which they tend to charge in July and August multiplying their price by 2 or 1.8 instead of 1.5 in previous years. (This relates to price policies in ports and marinas where the price is set by the length of the yacht, but as catamarans definitely take more space on the dock they used to be charged by multiplying the price of a monohull of the same length by 1.5, and this year some of the most important marinas will charge by multiplying the price of monohull by 1.8 or 2).

Also, more and more anchorages are getting buoys, and the usage of buoy moorings will be charged. We must say that buoys are good and necessary in Croatia, because the situation in summer months is sometimes getting out of hand, and it is much safer for everybody if boats use buoy moorings instead of anchors. It is safer, and it protects the sea bottom.
