More charter boats are listed in Croatia than in any other country we track, and it has the lowest prices of any large charter market. It also has the widest spread between regions. A 12–14 m monohull lists at a typical €2,200 a week in Split and €1,260 in Biograd, further up the coast.
These figures come from Velamari Market Pulse, our weekly crawl of public charter listing pages. This snapshot is week 2026-W40 (prices refreshed 26–28 September 2026). It covers 3,468 listed charter boats across Croatia’s charter regions, for the next eight weeks of the season (charter weeks starting 3 October to 21 November). All prices are advertised weekly prices in euros, not what guests finally paid.

"Typical week" is the median advertised weekly price over the next eight weeks. "Booked" is the share of those weeks no longer offered. "Discounted" is the share advertised below the boat's list price.
Three things stand out.
Split and Kaštela are the premium end. A typical week there runs €3,050–3,200, about double Biograd or Pula. Split is the odd one out: its monohulls cost as much as its catamarans. That suggests a fleet weighted towards larger monohulls; the Split page breaks it down by length.
Northern Dalmatia, Istria and Kvarner are the value end. Biograd (€1,460), Pula (€1,540) and Krk (€1,690) are the cheapest large regions in the whole Mediterranean. Biograd lists 459 boats, the second-largest region in our data.
Catamaran premiums vary a lot. In Kaštela a catamaran costs almost twice a monohull. In Dubrovnik, Rogoznica and Šibenik the gap is only 7–23%. Where both hull types sit in the same price band, catamarans are the better value for groups.
Price by boat length
Across Croatia, the typical advertised week by hull type and length:
| Length | Monohull | Catamaran |
|---|---|---|
| 10–12 m | €1,290 | €2,070 |
| 12–14 m | €1,610 | €2,650 |
| 14–16 m | €2,070 | €5,160 |
The jump from a 12–14 m to a 14–16 m catamaran nearly doubles the price. Above 14 metres, catamarans are effectively a different market. For monohulls, each extra two metres adds roughly €300–450 a week at this point in the season. (Boats over 16 m are a small, high-end segment; they are on the region pages but left out here.)
Across all the regions we track, boats that list air-conditioning advertise about 4% more per week than comparable boats without it (same region, hull, length, age, cabins and week). There is no country-level figure yet; see the Mediterranean overview.
How the season ends
Over the next eight weeks, bookings across Croatia fall off quickly week by week:
| Week starting | Share of boats booked |
|---|---|
| 3 October | 41% |
| 10 October | 26% |
| 17 October | 14% |
| 24 October | 11% |
| 31 October onwards | 1–2% |
Early October still works: four in ten boats are out. By the end of October the bareboat season is effectively over. For guests, that makes the second half of October the best-value time to sail. There are plenty of boats and a lot of discounting, although the weather is less certain. For operators, it means the pricing decisions that matter are the ones for the next three weekends.
Where the discounts are
Nearly half of Croatia’s upcoming charter weeks (49%) are advertised below list price, up from 26% a month earlier. The regions discounting the most weeks:
- Pirovac: 80% of weeks discounted, typical cut 35%
- Rogoznica: 63% discounted, typical cut 20%
- Dubrovnik: 61% discounted, typical cut 22%
- Biograd: 58% discounted, typical cut 30%
- Primošten: 57% discounted, typical cut 25%
Sukošan is the exception: only 30% of weeks discounted, even though just 7% are booked. Its fleets are holding list price even with emptier weeks.

For charter operators
If you run a fleet in Croatia, most of what decides your autumn revenue is visible in this data before the phone rings. It shows how booked your neighbours are for the next three weekends, and how deep their discounts go. Velamari puts it next to your own bookings, down to make and model, so each boat is priced against the boats a guest actually compares it with. See rate benchmarking in the platform, or talk to us.
Method
Figures are advertised prices and availability from public charter listing sites, crawled on a fixed cadence. Each boat is counted once, from one monitored site. A region is the place the listing gives as the boat’s base, so it can span several marinas: “Trogir” counts every boat listed there, not one marina. Any cell drawn from fewer than five boats is withheld. Bases split across several marinas or brands are undercounted compared with single-marina bases. The full methodology is on the Market Pulse overview, and the live, weekly-updated figures for every base are on the Croatia page.
