Croatia's Most Requested Yacht Charter Is the Split to Dubrovnik One-Way, and My Croatian Charter Shares What to Know Before Booking
Sep 18, 2026
Spain, September 18, 2026 -- Split to Dubrovnik, one-way, new islands every day: it is the route clients ask for by name, more than any other. My Croatian Charter explains why it works so well, when a Split circuit is the smarter week, and how to get the Dubrovnik arrival right.
When clients call about Croatia, one trip comes up more than any other, reports My Croatian Charter, operated by DMA Yachting. They arrive with the same picture in mind: cruising the hotspots of the Dalmatian coast, and its two most famous names are Split and Dubrovnik. The one-way between them is the most requested yacht charter route in the country.
Split has earned its place as the start. The international airport sits just outside the city at Trogir, so guests fly in and board after a short transfer, or even start in Trogir itself, and the first island is only about an hour away. Split is the cruising capital of the coast, with Hvar, Brac, and Vis in a row right offshore.
From there the week reads like the dream itself: jumping down the Dalmatian islands on the brokerage's 7 day Split to Dubrovnik yacht charter itinerary, to the finish every guest remembers, entering Dubrovnik, the most iconic city in Croatia, the walls that played King's Landing in Game of Thrones rising straight from the water.
The fine print is the week itself. A Croatia charter is normally one week, which is also what the brokerage recommends, and Split to Dubrovnik and back with the islands in between is a long haul in seven days, half of it backtracking over water already seen. Croatian yachts also sell their summers in Saturday-to-Saturday blocks, so a yacht that ends her week in Dubrovnik has to run all the way home before the next charter. That fuel and crew time usually lands on the bill as a delivery fee, covered in the brokerage's guide to the Split to Dubrovnik one-way fee.
"For most catamaran charters, and especially for families, we often talk clients out of Split to Dubrovnik and back. It is simply far," said John Boullin, Yacht Charter Broker at DMA Yachting. "Do the islands around Split properly instead, and see Dubrovnik by land before or after the charter. It is a very popular way to do it. And if arriving by sea is not essential, that delivery fee is money better spent on the week itself."
For guests set on arriving by sea, there are more ways in than most expect. A larger, faster yacht, one of Croatia's top luxury motor yacht charters, can do the full circuit with speed to spare and no fee at all. The one-way with a delivery fee buys the arrival without the backtrack. Some yachts waive the fee and take a day off the charter instead. And now and then a return charter from Dubrovnik to Split closes the loop for free.
"The bigger and faster the yacht, the more freedom you have on this route," said Martina Asmus, Owner and Yacht Charter Broker at DMA Yachting. "A quick motorsailer already changes the numbers, and a motor yacht gives you the most freedom of all; it just burns more fuel. One-way with a fee, fee-free with a day handed back, sometimes even the return leg from Dubrovnik. Which version fits your group and your pace is exactly what a broker is for."
The best weeks for summer 2027 are already being reserved, and the yachts that do this route well are the first to go. My Croatian Charter recommends settling the route and the yacht through the autumn, while the full fleet is still open.

Chinese runner Zhao Jiaju became the first athlete to complete the 330km Tor des Géants in under 66 hours on Wednesday, breaking the course record to claim victory in Italy using a “fragmented sleep” strategy.

Hong Kong Premier League on up but Kitchee face AFC Champions League test against Koreans
Although he cheesed off some of his England players when he accused them of being “sloppy” and committing “lots of technical mistakes” following their World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway this summer, Thomas Tuchel’s angst perhaps stemmed from the knowledge that a much tougher test was around the corner. So it would prove, the head coach’s team punch-drunk by the end of their semi-final capitulation against Argentina. For Tuchel two months ago, and indeed Alex Ferguson after the 1983...
Asian Games: when it starts, how to watch, what’s new, where Hong Kong could win gold

Douglas Whyte heaps praise on Zac Purton as pair collects race-to-race Happy Valley double
Douglas Whyte heaped praise on his former fierce rival Zac Purton after the nine-time champion jockey helped get his season up and running with a Happy Valley double on Wednesday night. Live Wire’s success in the Class Four Community Chest Cup (1,200m) was an easy watch for Whyte, but it was the complete opposite when it came to Young Arrow in the second section of the Class Four Lido Handicap (1,200m). Forced to settle back early, Purton again had to steady his mount heading out of the back...

Hong Kong tennis bosses hail Victoria Park revamp plans, eye WTA, ATP 500 tournaments
Hong Kong’s decades-old tennis facilities at Victoria Park will be redeveloped, the city’s leader said on Wednesday, a move that could open the way to holding bigger tournaments in the future.

Sunday’s Sha Tin races cancelled due to state funeral for ex-Hong Kong leader Tung Chee-hwa
Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting has been cancelled because of the state funeral for Hong Kong’s first chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa. In a brief statement on Wednesday, the Hong Kong Jockey Club said the 10-race card would not go ahead as a mark of respect for Tung, who was also the vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Tung’s vigil will be held on Saturday, with a public memorial and funeral set to take place on Sunday. “In deference to the...
Top jockey Hugh Bowman weighs up surgery v cortisone injection to repair hip labral tear
Hugh Bowman is weighing up whether to undergo surgery or keep his Hong Kong International Races (HKIR) hopes alive with a short-term solution, after scans revealed the top Australian jockey has a labral tear in his right hip. The 46-year-old faces at least four months out of the saddle if he opts for surgery, but a cortisone injection would only force him out of action for a few weeks. Bowman rode at the season opener at Sha Tin on September 6, guiding Joyful Joy to victory, but was forced out...

Celebrated Everest guide Phurba Tenjing Sherpa fears way of life under threat
Phurba Tenjing Sherpa has climbed Mount Everest 18 times over the years but fears he may now be a dying breed, with climate change one day making it unscalable and societal change leaving fewer willing to risk its dangers. The 37-year-old, who runs his own business guiding people up and down Earth’s highest peak, said one of the biggest challenge his industry faced was the fact “the Sherpa community is no longer climbing”. While the veteran guide said he had never been to school, he believed the...
