Sailing in Style: My Luxury Yacht Experience in Croatia from Split (16-Cabin Dream Voyage)

When I first stepped aboard a luxury yacht in Split, Croatia, I had no idea I was about to experience one of the most unforgettable journeys of my life. From crystal-clear waters and quiet island villages to floating breakfasts under the Adriatic sun, sailing around the Croatian islands on a 16-cabin luxury yacht was more than a vacation – it was a lifestyle upgrade.

If Croatia is on your travel bucket list and you’re thinking about sailing from Split, let me tell you right now: this is the perfect way to see the country.

Why Start a Luxury Yacht Cruise in Split, Croatia?

Split is not just a historical city; it’s the heartbeat of the Dalmatian coast. Ancient Roman walls meet palm-lined promenades, and within minutes, you’re boarding a yacht that feels like a floating boutique hotel.

Starting from Split gives you direct access to some of Croatia’s most beautiful islands like Hvar, Brač, Vis, Korčula, and Mljet. Each one offers something different – glamorous nightlife, secret beaches, medieval towns, and untouched nature.

From the moment we left the marina, I knew this trip would be something special.

Life On Board a 16-Cabin Luxury Yacht

Our yacht felt more like a boutique resort than a boat. With 16 cabins, there was plenty of space to relax while still enjoying the social vibe of a small group cruise.


Cabin Comfort

Each cabin had:

  • A private bathroom
  • Air conditioning
  • Comfortable beds
  • Modern design
  • Daily housekeeping

Waking up to ocean views every single morning? Priceless.

Food & Dining Experience

Breakfasts were fresh and generous, lunches were full of Croatian flavours, and every evening we dined on shore at charming seaside restaurants. Think grilled seafood, truffle pasta, and wine from local vineyards — pure indulgence.

Sun Deck Luxury

The top deck became my favourite place. Lounge chairs, cocktails, sunsets, and salty air made it impossible to feel stressed. Some days, we anchored in hidden bays and swam straight off the yacht into turquoise water.


Island-Hopping Highlights

Hvar

Chic and energetic, Hvar offers glamorous nightlife and stunning beaches. Watching the sunset from the fortress was unforgettable.

Vis

Quiet, authentic, and magical. The blue cave tour here was one of the highlights of the entire trip.

Korčula

Often called “Little Dubrovnik,” Korčula felt like stepping into a storybook with stone streets and medieval charm.

Mljet National Park

Peaceful lakes, lush forests, and nature everywhere. A perfect contrast to the lively island towns.

Every island brought a different emotion, and every evening ended with laughter on the deck under the stars.

Final Thoughts: Would I Do It Again?
