Fulfill Your Dream of Owning a Yacht

Pitter Yacht Charter has been active in yacht charter and fleet management for over 35 years, offering one of the most transparent and secure ownership models in the industry. With our yacht investment program, you combine passion and profit. Whether you're an ambitious sailor or a pure investor, we offer a tailored charter management service that makes it easy for you to enter yacht ownership – worry-free, transparent, and profitable.

Why Buy a Yacht in Croatia?

Croatia is one of Europe's top sailing destinations: A long season, perfect infrastructure, over 1,000 islands, and a consistently high demand for charter yachts. Your yacht will be regularly chartered here – with our purchase-charter model, you generate income that contributes to refinancing and covers mooring and maintenance costs.

Rethinking Yacht Ownership: Our Charter Management Model

With over 35 years of experience, we are among the leading experts in yacht charter and fleet management. We take care of everything – from marketing and booking to service and technology, insurance, and billing.

We collaborate with some of the best yacht builders worldwide – both in the catamaran sector and with classic monohull sailing yachts.

In the monohull sailing yacht sector, we rely on proven charter brands like BAVARIA, Dufour, Beneteau, and Jeanneau. These shipyards stand for quality, comfort, and high demand in the charter business.

For catamarans, we rely on renowned manufacturers such as Fountaine Pajot and Lagoon.

This allows you to choose the yacht that matches your individual preferences, sailing style, and budget – whether sporty, comfortable, or family-friendly.

Your Benefits at a Glance:

  • Regular Income: Predictable returns from charter operations
  • Personal use of your yacht during the season
  • Complete Yacht Management: No hassle with technical and organizational full service
  • VAT advantages and attractive financing options
  • Long-term value retention: Regular maintenance keeps your yacht in top condition

Who is our Purchase-Charter Model Suitable For?

Not every investor is the same – and our model is tailored precisely to that. Find your personal path to yacht ownership:

  1. The Sailing Enthusiast with a Clear Vision: You know exactly which yacht you want and wish to fulfill this dream today. With a charter purchase, you finance your yacht and enjoy your sailing vacation on your own yacht, which you may later want to use privately.
  2. The Flexible Enjoyer: You have a budget, love the sea, but don't want to worry about the details. Whether you want to keep or sell your yacht later is still open.
  3. The Pure Investor: You are looking for a lucrative investment – with returns and value retention.

What they all have in common is: The desire for a reliable partner who not only secures income but also maintains the value of your yacht in the long term.

The Right Yacht for Your Investment

Not every yacht is equally suitable for charter operations. Thanks to our experience, we know which brands and models are in demand on the market and which features charter guests love.

Particularly popular in the charter market:

  • BAVARIA and Dufour Yachts – Top models with a strong price-performance ratio
  • Practical layouts with 3–5 cabins, plenty of space, and comfort
  • Bow thruster, solar, air conditioning, bathing platform, inverter – all features that pay off in charter

Strong Partnerships for Your Success as a Yacht Owner

We maintain long-standing, close relationships with renowned shipyards, dealers, and service partners – including the Yacht Center of Yachten Meltl at Lake Chiemsee, the largest dealer for BAVARIA and Dufour Yachts in Germany and official distributor for Croatia.

Through these partnerships, we can not only competently advise you on choosing the right yacht but also optimally support you with individual equipment requests, special solutions, or specific requirements.

Additionally, you benefit from a reliable yacht service from a single source – from ordering to the care of your yacht on-site in Croatia.

How Does Financing Work When Buying a Yacht with Chartering?

  • Charter Contract Duration: approx. 5–7 years, individually adjustable
  • Equity: depends on the yacht price, usually from about 50%

We offer you individual financing models – serious, realistic, and comprehensible. No empty promises, but solid planning with reliable figures. We are your partner for charter purchase and yacht management in Croatia.

This is how the model works:

  1. Find the right yacht: Whether sailing yacht, catamaran, or motor yacht – we help you choose the optimal model for your needs and the charter market.
  2. Financing & Purchase: Together, we develop a financing concept that suits your situation.
  3. Comprehensive Service by Professionals: We handle bookings, maintenance, insurance, and marketing – all from one source.
  4. Personal use included: You sail yourself – for several weeks a year.

Location Choice: The Right Charter Base in Croatia

We operate our own bases in the best marinas in Croatia – including Pula, Biograd, Murter and Trogir. 

We take care of:

  • Equipment, transport, and commissioning of your yacht
  • Registration, charter approval, and management
  • All yacht & charter services on-site
  • After the charter period ends: Sale, reinvestment, or private yacht service if you keep your yacht

As part of the Nautic Alliance, we accompany you comprehensively on the path to yacht ownership – from the selection and financing of your yacht to the complete organizational handling, ongoing charter operations, professional yacht management, and later further use or sale of your yacht.

Our long-standing customers appreciate the transparent support and reliable service – many choose a new yacht with us after the term expires, and some even expand their fleet with multiple yachts.
