The beauty of doing a Croatia motor boat charter is the freedom to move around surrounding islands and cities. 

Its old town, cosy cafes and swanky bars are impressive, but above all, Zadar’s solar panel powered dance floor and sea organ are probably its most incredible attractions. Relax by the sea as you listen to the sound of whale song created by the waves.

A Croatia motorboat rent will allow you to move through these islands and find your perfect personal beach. 

For our natural history lovers, Brijuni islands is a must go. Out of the sixteen islands you can only visit two of them, which shows the 5,000 years of natural and human history on display including prehistoric times.

Summer temperatures generally average 25°C to 30°C making the high season the ultimate sailing season. Although the sailing season starts earlier and finishes in autumn.

We simply advise that whatever time of year, you always check the weather forecast and sea conditions online or with your harbour before departure.
