Catamarans

Sail Croatia in Style: The Ultimate Catamaran Charter Experience

Imagine waking up to the Adriatic's gentle waves, surrounded by turquoise waters, sun-drenched islands, and the chance to explore at your own pace. This desire can come true if you rent a catamaran in Croatia. A catamaran is the best way to see Croatia's beautiful coast and islands, whether you're a seasoned sailor or a first-time explorer. It has the right amount of comfort, stability, and luxury.

What is a catamaran?

A catamaran is a type of sailing vessel with two parallel hulls connected by a large deck platform. It is very stable, has a lot of room inside, and has a lot of outside living space. Catamarans don't heel as they sail like traditional monohull sailboats do. This makes them a great choice for families, first-time sailors, and anybody who want a more comfortable and steady ride. The two-hull construction makes the saloons bigger, the private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, and the outside lounge areas bigger. These are great for sunbathing, eating outside, or just taking in the views. Catamarans can get closer to shore and anchor in quiet bays that monohulls couldn't reach since they have short drafts. Catamarans are the best choice for relaxing cruises, socializing, and wonderful island-hopping experiences along the calm, sunlit seas of the Adriatic Sea.

Catamaran Sizes: Enough Space for Everyone

We have a lot of different types of catamarans for rent in Croatia at Pitter Yachting. They come in different sizes and layouts to fit any group:

38 - 40 ft: Perfect for couples or families that want to cruise in comfort with all they need.

41 - 45 ft: The best size for mid-sized parties or two families sharing space.

46 - 50+ ft: Large and opulent, with plenty of cabins and lounge areas - ideal for bigger groups or premium charters.

Each model has a contemporary kitchen, several bathrooms, shaded cockpits, and sunbathing decks, so you can enjoy all the conveniences of a floating villa.

Why you should rent a catamaran in Croatia

A catamaran is the best method to see the stunning beauty of the Adriatic. A catamaran charter in Croatia is the best way to enjoy luxury, freedom, and adventure all at once. You can cruise past old coastal towns, swim in pristine coves, or anchor off lush, isolated islands. Croatia is one of the best destinations in the world to explore by catamaran since its seas are calm, the distances are small, and the coast is varied.

Unbeatable comfort and space

Catamarans are made to be comfortable. They have two hulls, which gives them a lot more living space than regular monohull sailing yachts. The big saloons, several cabins with private bathrooms, and big cockpits make it feel more like a luxury villa than a boat. There is plenty of area for everyone to relax, sunbathe, or have dinner outside under the stars on the wide decks and forward trampolines.

Exceptionally stable

The dual-hull construction makes the boat more stable on the water, which means less swaying and a smoother ride. Families with kids, older visitors, or people who get seasick easily will really like this extra solidity. One of the main reasons why first-time charterers love catamarans is that they are so easy to use.

Great for hopping from island to island

Croatia has more than 1,000 islands along its coast, and many of the most picturesque places can only be reached by boat. You may rent a catamaran in Croatia and go at your own leisure to see beautiful island communities, quiet bays, and national parks. Catamarans may anchor closer to beaches and inlets that are off-limits to bigger boats since they have a shallow draft. This gives you front-row access to some of the Adriatic's best-kept secrets.

Layout that is perfect for socializing and having fun

A catamaran is the best choice if you're going with a group. The open-plan architecture and spacious layout make it easy for everyone to spend time together without feeling crowded. Catamarans are great for socializing, hosting, and building memories with friends or family. They have sun-drenched lounging areas, sheltered dining sections, and big swim platforms.

More Privacy

Guests have greater privacy and space in cabins that are spread out across both hulls than on monohulls, where cabins are often next to each other. This makes catamaran charters especially suitable for parties of couples, families with people of all ages, or people who want to be together but also have their own space.

Simple to sail and Maneuver

Catamarans are not only comfortable, they are also useful. Their two engines make it easier to dock and move about, especially in small marinas. They are a great choice for bareboat charters because they sail straight and are easy to handle. It's even easier when you have a captain.

Easy, Efficient and Cost-Effective group travel

If you're going on a trip with a group, renting a catamaran in Croatia is sometimes cheaper than buying several hotel rooms and ferry tickets. A catamaran lets you travel, stay, and have fun all in one place, and you can wake up in a different bay every day.

Types of Catamaran Charter in Croatia

One of the best things about booking a catamaran charter in Croatia is that you can make it fit your own comfort level, experience, and type of vacation. There is a charter choice for everyone, whether you are an expert sailor, a first-time sailor, or just want to relax in style. We have three major types of catamaran charters at Pitter Yachting: bareboat, skippered, and crewed. Each one is a different approach to see the Adriatic coast.

Bareboat Catamaran Rental

A bareboat catamaran charter is the best way for confident sailors with a valid sailing license and VHF certificate to feel free. You are in charge of your own yacht, set your own path, and sail at your own speed. Find Croatia's secret bays, explore tranquil anchorages far from the throng, and enjoy the thrill of being the captain of your own luxury multihull boat.

This choice is great for experienced sailors who want to be free and have fun. You can make the trip anyway you like, whether you want to see the Kornati islands, hop between the Dalmatian beauties of Hvar and Brač, or cruise into the historic ports of Šibenik and Dubrovnik.

Skippered Catamaran Charter

No license to sail? Not an issue. When you rent a catamaran with a skipper, you'll have a professional, licensed person on board to take care of navigation, anchoring, and all other technical tasks. This lets you relax and enjoy the trip while the skipper uses their local knowledge and skills to help you. Your captain can help you plan your trip by suggesting routes, the finest places to swim, and coastal eateries. They may even change your plans according on the weather and your tastes.

A skippered charter is the best way to get the freedom and safety you desire while sailing. It's great for families, beginners, and parties who want a unique sailing experience without having to worry about driving the yacht themselves.

Charter a catamaran with a crew

Choose a crewed catamaran charter for the best in comfort and elegance. This high-end service comes with a captain and a professional crew, which usually includes a cook, hostess, or deckhand, who take care of everything on board. A crewed charter is like a floating boutique hotel on the sea, with gourmet meals, daily cleaning, personalized itinerary planning, and service on board.

It's the best option for special events, luxurious vacations, and those who want to be pampered while seeing the beautiful coastline of the Adriatic. You will sail in total comfort, eat freshly made food, and enjoy every moment without having to do anything.

The Best Places to Sail in Croatia on a Catamaran

Croatia is a sailor's dream, and the best way to see its varied coastline is on a catamaran charter. The country has more than 1,000 islands, calm seas, and small distances between ports, making it perfect for smooth, beautiful, and pleasant sailing. Catamarans are great for visiting Croatia's hidden coves, historic harbors, and sun-soaked archipelagos since they have a shallow draft and plenty of room to relax. Every sailing area has its own personality, charm, and wonderful places to anchor.

Istria and Kvarner Bay: Where Culture and Quiet Beauty Meet

The Istrian Peninsula and Kvarner Gulf in the north are a good place to start your trip. They have a mix of Venetian architecture, beautiful cities, and peaceful sailing. You have to see Pula, with its Roman amphitheater, and Rovinj, a beautiful coastal town. After that, sail to the calm islands of Cres, Lošinj, and Rab. These islands are peaceful and not too crowded, making them perfect for a relaxing catamaran cruise.

Zadar Region: National Parks and Natural Wonders

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the Zadar archipelago. Set sail to Dugi Otok, which has steep cliffs and sandy beaches, or go inside the Kornati National Park, which is a beautiful maze of more than 100 uninhabited islands and reefs. You may easily weave between the islets in a catamaran and anchor in peaceful bays that are well away from the tourist circuit.

Heritage and Hidden Harbors in the Šibenik Region

This center area is known for its old towns and beautiful, green islands. Stop in Šibenik to see the St. James Cathedral, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Then, go to Primošten or Murter. With your catamaran hire, you can get to lovely anchorages and the Krka Waterfalls, which are just a short trip up the river. It's the perfect mix of culture and environment beside the sea.

Split Region: Famous Islands and Lively Nightlife

The Split sailing area is the most important part of Croatia's yachting scene. This area has it all: picturesque fishing villages, busy marinas, boutique vineyards, and magnificent beaches. Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and Vis are all here. Catamarans are great for this area since they are big enough for groups to have fun, sturdy enough for lengthy trips, and comfortable enough to relax between swims and sightseeing.

History and quiet anchorages in the Dubrovnik Region

In the south, Dubrovnik is waiting for you with its historic walls and marble streets. The Elaphiti Islands are right off the coast and are a peaceful getaway that is great for a catamaran hire. Visit Šipan, Lopud, and Koločep, where pine trees and calm bays make it easy to relax and drop anchor. This area is also wonderful for longer trips because it's easy to get to Montenegro and the southern Adriatic.

Why should you choose a catamaran over a sailing boat?

One important choice you have to make when organizing your sailing trip to Croatia is whether to rent a classic sailing boat (monohull) or a catamaran. Both offer amazing experiences on the Adriatic, but catamarans are more comfortable, stable, and large, making them perfect for island hopping in a relaxing way.

Because they have two hulls, catamarans have broad, open decks, roomy cabins (sometimes with private toilets), and big lounge areas that are great for families and groups. Because they are stable, sailing is smoother and there is less heeling, which is wonderful for people who get seasick easily or are new to life at sea.

Catamarans also have a shallow draft, which means you can anchor close to beaches and bays that monohulls couldn't get to. Because they have two engines, it's easy to dock and move around, especially in smaller harbors. If you're on a skippered, crewed, or bareboat catamaran charter, you'll love how easy it is to handle and how comfortable it is on board.

Catamarans are the best way to enjoy Croatia's beautiful waterways, whether you're relaxing, mingling, or just sailing in elegance.
