Yacht management
Owning a yacht should be enjoyable, whether for personal use or charter. With many owners living far from their yachts, a local multilingual team helps manage planning, bills, and arrangements. Yacht Charter Management provides shore-based support for captains and owners, streamlining operations and allowing the crew to focus on daily tasks while owners enjoy their investment.
Buying a catamaran for Croatian waters?
Bring it into ownership with a plan, not a guess. Our Split-based charter-management team has brokered the Adriatic since 2014 — we advise on hull and layout choice, the purchase and EU import, Croatian commercial registration and the charter licence, the home-base setup, and the first-season warranty follow-up.
Turn a moored catamaran into a working asset
A catamaran that sits idle from October to April still costs you an ACI berth, antifouling, insurance and depreciation. Placed with a Croatian charter operator through our brokerage, it earns across the Adriatic season while a base team keeps it surveyed, serviced and presentable — so it holds resale value instead of quietly losing it on the hard.
The economics owners actually sign:
You, the owner, fund the boat and keep 75% of charter income — this covers:
- The annual marina berth (ACI, Marina Kaštela, D-Marin or your home base).
- Hull, machinery and third-party liability insurance.
- Scheduled maintenance, the annual lift-out and antifouling.
The operator and agency absorb 25% of income — this covers:
- Subagent and booking-portal commissions.
- Listing, photography and seasonal marketing.
- Saturday guest reception and the dockside handover at the Croatian base.
Placed where the charter weeks are
Demand on the Adriatic is not evenly spread, and neither is our placement. We position owner catamarans where the bookings land — the Split and Trogir bases for the central-Dalmatian islands, Šibenik and Zadar for the Kornati run, Dubrovnik for the Elaphites and Mljet, and the Kvarner and Istrian bases for the early- and late-season weeks. Twenty years brokering the same coastline tells us which base fills first for which size of cat.
Someone answers on the second ring
A Bura blowing down the Velebit channel, a watermaker that quits at anchor off Vis, a guest who wants to extend — these happen mid-season, and they get handled the same day by the local base team, not parked until Monday. You receive a short written debrief after every charter so you always know how the boat performed and what was touched.
Your owner weeks, the paperwork, the calendar
Your own sailing weeks are locked into the calendar before it opens to charter — the quiet June shoulder or warm September, your call. Around them we vet every enquiry, run the contracts and the Croatian charter and crew-list formalities, reconcile the security deposit, and keep one Split office as your single point of contact from quote to year-end statement.
Owning a catamaran in Croatia
- Adriatic-season revenue across roughly 18–22 sellable summer weeks, peaking in the July–August Dalmatian window.
- Berthing, guardianage, antifouling and winter lay-up coordinated for you out of the Croatian home base.
- A documented service history that keeps the boat compliant for commercial charter use and protects resale value.
What stays yours
- Reserved owner weeks fixed before the charter calendar opens — pre-season May, calm June, or warm late September.
- One Split point of contact for bookings, invoicing, crew, the charter licence and the deposit.
Then you just step aboard
- You name the dates; the catamaran is provisioned, cleaned, fuelled and check-ready at the Croatian base.
