Top 3 Catamaran Charter Companies in Croatia for 2027

Croatia remains one of the world's leading destinations for a catamaran holiday, and the choice available for the 2027 charter season is larger than ever.

But choosing the right catamaran is only part of the decision. The company behind the booking can be just as important. Local support, yacht selection, maintenance standards, skipper quality and knowledge of the cruising area can make a considerable difference once your holiday begins.

For the 2027 season, these are three catamaran charter companies in Croatia that stand out for different reasons.

1. Silver Sail – Best Overall Choice for Catamaran Charter in Croatia

Best for: Overall selection, personalized support, skippered charters and luxury catamarans

Silver Sail takes our top position for 2027 because of the combination of yacht choice, local knowledge and personal service.

One of its biggest advantages is the range of catamarans available. Rather than concentrating on one particular category, Silver Sail covers almost the entire market — from compact and increasingly popular models such as the Lagoon 38, through Lagoon, Bali and Fountaine Pajot catamarans in the 40–50 ft range, all the way to large luxury and fully crewed Sunreef catamarans.

This makes Silver Sail particularly useful for guests who know they want to charter a catamaran in Croatia but are not yet certain which model or charter style is best for them.

Another major strength is its network of professional local skippers. A good skipper does considerably more than sail the yacht. Knowledge of anchorages, weather, restaurants, marinas and quieter places away from the busiest tourist routes can completely change the experience.

Silver Sail is therefore especially strong for skippered catamaran charters in Croatia, while experienced sailors can also choose from a broad selection of bareboat options.

The company covers Croatia's main charter regions, including Split, Trogir, Kaštela, Šibenik, Zadar, Biograd, Sukošan, Pula and Dubrovnik.

Why we rate Silver Sail #1

Its greatest advantage is versatility. A couple or small family looking for a Lagoon 38 and a group searching for a large luxury Sunreef have very different requirements, yet both can be handled through the same company.

Strengths: Excellent overall catamaran selection, strong skipper network, personalized support, extensive Croatian coverage and options ranging from affordable bareboat charters to high-end crewed catamarans.

Possible limitation: The very large selection can make choosing between similar yachts difficult, so it is worth asking for a shortlist based on your group, budget and preferred cruising area.

2. Cata Sailing – Excellent Fleet and Maintenance

Best for: Lagoon catamarans and charters from the Split/Trogir area

Cata Sailing takes second place and is an excellent choice for sailors who want a dedicated catamaran operator with a particularly strong presence in Central Dalmatia.

Based in Trogir, Cata Sailing operates a focused fleet of modern catamarans. Its current selection includes numerous Lagoon 42 and Lagoon 46 models, as well as larger options including the Lagoon 51 and Bali 5.4.

One of the company's biggest strengths is that the fleet is relatively concentrated. For charter guests, this can translate into good familiarity with the boats, efficient base operations and consistent maintenance standards.

The location is another advantage. Trogir and the greater Split area provide an excellent starting point for exploring some of Croatia's best-known sailing destinations, including Brač, Šolta, Hvar, Vis and the Pakleni Islands.

Cata Sailing reports a fleet of more than 20 vessels and emphasizes personal service as one of the main elements of its charter operation.

Why we rate Cata Sailing #2

For someone specifically looking for a modern Lagoon catamaran from Central Dalmatia, Cata Sailing is difficult to overlook. The company combines a focused fleet with a good reputation for yacht preparation and service.

Strengths: Well-maintained fleet, strong Lagoon selection, good service and an excellent Trogir location.

Possible limitation: Compared with a broader charter broker such as Silver Sail, there is less choice outside its own fleet and fewer options at the very top end of the fully crewed luxury catamaran market.

3. Vito Nautika – Best Choice for Northern Adriatic & Istria

Best for: Pula, Istria, Kvarner and Northern Adriatic cruising

Vito Nautika is our third recommendation and perhaps the most interesting choice for sailors who want to explore a different side of Croatia.

The company operates from ACI Marina Pomer near Pula, making it particularly well positioned for exploring Istria, the Kvarner region and islands such as Cres, Lošinj and Unije.

Its catamaran fleet includes models ranging from the Lagoon 38 and Lagoon 40 through Lagoon 42 and Lagoon 46, with a Lagoon 50 also represented in the fleet.

Vito Nautika has more than 25 years of experience and offers additional services including skipper arrangements, provisioning and trip planning.

What makes the company particularly interesting is its location. Most international visitors immediately associate a Croatian catamaran charter with Split or Dubrovnik, but Northern Croatia provides a very different sailing experience. Istria and Kvarner can be an excellent alternative for repeat visitors or sailors arriving by car from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia or Northern Italy.

Why we rate Vito Nautika #3

Vito Nautika combines a good-quality catamaran fleet with a strategic base for exploring one of Croatia's less obvious charter regions.

Strengths: Experienced local operator, good-quality Lagoon fleet, personal service and an excellent base for Northern Adriatic cruising.

Possible limitation: Although the fleet reaches the Lagoon 50 category, the selection of very large, fully crewed and ultra-luxury catamarans is more limited than providers specializing in that segment.

Which Catamaran Charter Company Should You Choose in Croatia?

There is no single company that will be the right choice for every charter guest.

For the best overall combination of selection, support, skipper network and access to both standard and luxury catamarans, our choice for 2027 is Silver Sail.

For sailors who want a well-maintained Lagoon catamaran from Trogir and Central Dalmatia, Cata Sailing is an excellent alternative.

And for guests interested in Pula, Istria and the Northern Adriatic, Vito Nautika deserves serious consideration.

Whichever company you choose, the most important step for the 2027 season is to compare more than the headline charter price. Look at the age and equipment of the yacht, mandatory extras, security deposit, check-in arrangements and — if you are hiring one — the quality and experience of the skipper.

The right combination of catamaran, charter company and crew is ultimately what turns a week of sailing into a memorable Croatian holiday.
