Renting a catamaran from Split is a fantastic way to explore the islands that surround central and northern Dalmatia. The coastline from Split to Dubrovnik spans over 230km, with a pristine collection of in-between islands, waiting to be discovered. Split has an abundant set of marinas, followed by many ports and anchorages for your selected catamaran. You can directly contact the owners of the vessel for the ideal catamaran, or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions.
You have plenty of options:
You can book and hire a catamaran with a skipper--or without one, if you own a license--and enjoy a one-day cruise to Brac, Hvar, or Vis. You can also rent a catamaran for a day or two and visit further-reaching destinations; some of which include Korcula and Mljet. Finally, you can hire a luxury catamaran and visit Dubrovnik, taking your time to go island-hopping in the Adriatic Sea, for as many days as you wish.
One of the most fascinating and beautiful ports of the world is the city of Split, in Croatia. With the perfect combination of superb architecture, historical heritage, and splendid natural location Split is an unforgettable travel destination. The old town, developed around its majestic port, is well worth exploring. This is due to the countless monuments and experiences it can provide, including the famous Palace of Diocletian--part of the UNESCO World Heritage--as well as the stunning promenade, the museums, churches, and palaces. Nevertheless, after you discover all these treasures, there is still a once-in-a-lifetime experience that awaits. With a private catamaran tour in Split, you can also explore the nearby Croatian islands. Among the most interesting destinations of a sailing trip from Split, you could include the islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis, Korcula, and the towns of Dubrovnik and Trogir.
While being closer to the city of Split, the island of Brac is less known and popular, compared to its neighboring islands, Hvar or Korcula. This authentic destination is mostly known for the world-renowned Zlatni Rat Beach in Bol; it’s a small outcrop of golden sand, stretching into the turquoise sea and changing its shape with the currents. Other fascinating sights and experiences of Brac include the town of Supetar, the traditional villages and farms, and the small enchanting beaches. On a catamaran tour from Split, you have to visit the astonishing island of Hvar, famous for the two splendid towns and the incredible nightlife. Hvar Town and Stari Grad are located around splendid bays and feature beautiful Venetian mansions, old forts, interesting churches, as well as an extremely charming atmosphere. The sunniest island of Croatia is also a great destination for its mesmerizing beaches, including those of Malo Zarace, Dubovica, or Pokonji Dol. Other sights include Jelsa and Vrboska towns, the interior traditional villages, or the small Pakleni Islands.
Cruising farther away from the port of Split, you can encounter the paradise island of Vis, with its pristine natural beauty and quaint atmosphere. Known as the idyllic background for the second Mamma Mia movie, the island offers an authentic experience. You can explore unforgettable beaches, like Vela Smokova, Stiniva, Budikovac Island, and Stoncica; visit the superb Vis Town; try diving and snorkeling, or explore the natural marvels of the island. Another fascinating destination you can include to your catamaran tours from Split is the island of Korcula, long and covered by dense forests. Korcula Town is also known as “Little Dubrovnik'', with a wealth of medieval heritage, including a walled old town, eight towers, many old palaces, monasteries, and churches. The other resort towns of the island are Vela Luka and Lumbarda, while the most beautiful beaches include Vela Przina, Pupnatska Luka, Bilin Zal, and many smaller ones in splendid remote coves.
Apart from the islands, by renting a catamaran from Split, you will be able to admire some fascinating destinations along the Croatian coast. A fairly close medieval jewel is the town of Trogir, included in the UNESCO World’s Heritage, as one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The small walled center is located on an island connected by two bridges to the mainland. It features cobblestone streets, a Venetian cathedral, splendid architecture, and an imposing fortress. If you wish to venture farther and discover the most famous city of Dalmatia, you will have to visit Dubrovnik, one of the most fascinating walled cities in the world. Inside the walls swept by the Adriatic Sea, there are countless historical and architectural treasures, including elegant palaces, Baroque churches, enchanting piazzas, several monasteries, interesting museums, and everything in between. Visiting Dubrovnik is the highlight of any catamaran adventure in Croatia, offering a complete and unforgettable experience.
