Croatian island weeks are made richer by stopping in a konoba — order peka (slow-cooked lamb or octopus under a bell-shaped lid) and a bottle of Pošip from Korčula or Plavac Mali from Hvar, while the Maestral fades and the bay turns glass-still after sunset.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a yacht charter on Catamaran Charter Croatia?

Choose your dates and destination, browse our fleet, and use request a quote to lock in pricing. Our team confirms availability with the agency and emails the booking summary within 24 hours.

Do I need a sailing license?

For most bareboat charters in Croatia you need a recognised skipper certificate (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, or equivalent) plus a VHF licence. If you don’t hold one, we book a professional skipper alongside the boat for the week.

What’s included in the price?

The base charter fee covers the boat, standard equipment, insurance, and final cleaning fee in most cases. Extras such as fuel, port fees, transit log, tourist tax and skipper service are billed separately and explained in the booking summary.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak weeks (mid-July to late August) we recommend booking 6–9 months ahead to lock in the boat and the early-bird discount. Shoulder seasons (May, June, September) usually have availability up to a month before departure.

Sunreef 50 in Croatia: what charterers actually get

Beyond the photos, the Sunreef 50 is built around two practical advantages on the Adriatic: a 1.45 m draft that lets you anchor inside Stiniva, Pakleni’s Vinogradišće, and Mljet’s Veliko Jezero; and a 7 m beam that turns the saloon into a real dining room for eight. The hull is hand-laid Croatian construction (Sunreef’s yard is in Gdańsk, but Croatia hosts the largest charter fleet outside the Caribbean).

Cabin layout and crew quarters

Charter Sunreef 50s are typically configured 4-double-cabin: forward owner suite, two double guest cabins amidships, one VIP aft. Each cabin has a private head with separate shower. Crew (skipper plus hostess) sleeps in the bow nacelle bunks, accessed from a dedicated forward hatch — guests never walk through crew space.

Sailing characteristics on the Adriatic

The Sunreef 50 is a heavier displacement cat than the Lagoon 50 or Bali 5.4 — typically 18–20 tonnes loaded — which means it punches through Maestral chop comfortably between 15 and 25 knots true wind. Reefing is straightforward: Genoa furls in 60 seconds, mainsail uses a single-line reefing system. The boat carries a 1,000-litre water tank and a 800-litre fuel tank, enough for 4–5 anchored nights in the Kornati without re-fuelling.

Where she goes best

From Split, a Sunreef 50 charter week typically routes Trogir → Pakleni → Hvar (Sv. Klement vineyards for Plavac Mali tasting) → Vis (Stiniva, Komiža, Zelena Spilja) → Korčula (Lumbarda Pošip cellars) → Brač (Bol’s Zlatni Rat beach) → back. From Dubrovnik, the loop heads Lopud → Mljet → Korčula → Lastovo → back. Either route runs comfortably under main and reefed genoa for 4–5 days a week.

Pricing and seasonal availability

Bareboat Sunreef 50 in shoulder season (May, June, September): 14,000–18,000 EUR per week. Peak (last week of July, all August): 22,000–28,000 EUR. Crewed package adds 4,800–6,200 EUR. Charter weeks book 8–10 months ahead for August.
