What This Really Is

Beyond a Charter

This is not a standard yacht charter. From the moment you step aboard in Split, the week is shaped around your group — your pace, your appetite for walking up to a fortress or staying in the water until the light goes.

Croatia rewards a group that wants an island a day and a town at night. Stone harbours, water like glass, and a different place to eat dinner every evening. We move when it suits you and stay when it does not.

A private crewed catamaran charter in Croatia with Naveo departs from Split and starts from €19,000 per week. The 7-day route visits Vis, Lastovo Natural Park, Brac, and Makarska — Croatia's hidden coast, away from the party-island circuit. Includes professional skipper, onboard chef, all meals, fuel, and marina fees.

The Rhythm

A Day on the Water

Each day flows with intention and flexibility. No schedules, no pressure — just the rhythm of the sea and whatever feels right.

Morning

Wake slowly

Coffee in a quiet bay off Šolta or Vis before the day boats arrive. A swim off the back steps while the chef lays out breakfast in the cockpit.

Midday

A short hop

Most passages here are an hour or two. Lunch at anchor somewhere in the Pakleni islands, then the afternoon in water clear enough to count the stones under the hull.

Afternoon

Ashore, or not

The walled town of Korčula, a walk up to a fortress, or nothing at all. Paddleboards off the stern and a long stretch of doing very little.

Evening

Dinner in a stone harbour

We tie up in a small harbour and eat ashore, or stay at anchor and let the chef cook. Then the deck, the dark, and whatever is left in the glass.

Inspiration

A Sample Sailing Week

Board at Marina Kaštela, meet your skipper and chef, then a short 15 mile hop to Šolta for the first swim and dinner at anchor.

Welcome aboardMeet the crewFirst swim

Seventeen miles to Palmižana. Pine-backed coves and some of the clearest water on the coast, with Hvar town a short dinghy ride away if you want the evening.

SwimmingHvar townPaddleboarding

A longer 36 mile passage under sail to Korčula. The old town is a small walled peninsula you can walk in an hour, then eat well inside the walls.

Old town walkDinner ashore

Twenty-three miles to Lastovo, the least visited island group in the Adriatic. Far fewer boats, darker skies, and bays that stay yours all afternoon.

Quiet anchorageStargazing

Thirty-eight miles north to Vis, closed to visitors until the 1990s and all the better for it. Good wine, good food, and the sense of somewhere still itself.

Wine tastingVillage dinner

Twenty-four miles to Brač for the last full day. A final long lunch at anchor and a swim from the boat before the run home.

Lunch at anchorLast swim

Twenty miles back to Marina Kaštela, coffee on deck, and a farewell before transfers.

Final route depends on weather conditions and your preferences. Every week is different.

The Yacht

Lagoon 46

A 46-foot catamaran with four double cabins, each with its own bathroom, air conditioning and natural light. Generous deck for eating, sunbathing and watching the coast go past. Larger groups move up to a six-cabin catamaran for up to twelve guests.

  • 4 ensuite double cabins (sleeps 8)
  • Air conditioning in every cabin
  • Hot showers throughout
  • Spacious saloon and cockpit
  • Full water toys: SUP, snorkelling, dinghy

Why a Catamaran?

A catamaran sits flat at anchor, which matters in a busy Adriatic bay and matters more to anyone who worries about feeling seasick. The wide beam gives you real living space, and the shallow draft gets you into coves a deeper boat has to admire from outside.

From Vincent

“Croatia is the easiest week I run. The islands sit close enough that you are never on a long passage, the water is absurd, and there is a proper town to eat in most nights. Lastovo is the one people do not expect — almost nobody goes, and that is exactly the point.”

— Vincent Braakman, Founder
