For July and August departures, we recommend booking five to eight months ahead, Kornati itineraries are increasingly popular and the best yachts fill early. Zadar is slightly less pressured than Split or Dubrovnik in terms of peak-season demand, so shoulder-season charters in May to June or September can often be confirmed with three to four months’ notice.
The Kornati archipelago is the primary cruising draw from Zadar and lies just two to three hours’ cruise to the south. A seven-day charter from Zadar typically includes two to three nights anchored among the Kornati islands, combined with stops at Dugi Otok’s Tela’scica salt lake and the charming harbour towns of Murter or Primo’sten. Entry permits for the national park are arranged through your captain.
Most charter yachts carry a tender, snorkelling equipment, paddleboards, and inflatable toys as standard. Larger motor yachts and superyachts often include jet skis, sea bobs, and wakeboarding gear. The sheltered channels of Kornati and Tela’scica offer outstanding snorkelling and kayaking conditions, and your charter specialist can confirm the full toy inventory on any shortlisted yacht before booking.
The base rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and standard onboard equipment. Fuel, provisioning, berthing fees, and Kornati park entry permits fall under the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 25 to 35% of the charter fee. Croatian VAT at 13% is applied to all charters, and your captain provides a full APA accounting at the end of the voyage.
Yacht charter Zadar positions you at the gateway to the Adriatic’s most extraordinary island wilderness, the 89 uninhabited islets and reefs of the Kornati National Park, where barren limestone ridges drop into channels of deep sapphire water and the only sound at anchor is the splash of a diving tern. The city itself is a captivating blend of Roman ruins, Romanesque churches, and modern art installations: the Sea Organ plays its haunting chords on the waterfront while the Greeting to the Sun light display pulses beneath your feet at dusk. From Zadar’s marina, the Kornati archipelago lies just two to three hours’ cruise to the south, and the lush Telascica Nature Park on Dugi Otok is even closer. The charter fleet includes luxury catamarans from 55 ft, ideal for threading through Kornati’s narrow channels, modern motor yachts in the 68 to 98 ft range with spacious sun decks, and superyachts above 100 ft for extended northern Dalmatian voyages. Peak season spans July and August; May to June and September to October deliver warmer seas, emptier anchorages, and exceptional light for photography.
Rates start from €3,800 per day on a catamaran, from €4,800 per day on a motor yacht, from €8,800 per day on the latest 88 to 99 ft models, and from €11,800 per day on a superyacht, plus Croatian VAT and APA. Zadar is the charter base for those who crave solitude and raw Adriatic beauty.
