Croatia

Imagine yourself on board your private yacht, enjoying the cool morning and knowing the day ahead is full of possibilities. Perhaps your captain will find a secluded spot to anchor, and then you can swim, sunbathe, explore, or simply do nothing. Other reasons to take a private yacht charter in Croatia in October include:

  • Great weather. Croatia’s October weather is mild, with average temperatures of around 66 °F. This makes it the perfect time to enjoy all the country has to offer without worrying about being too hot or too cold. The leaves will also change color, making for some beautiful scenery.
  • Vibrant local culture. Explore small towns and villages and try traditional Croatian food and wine. The Wine tasting tour through Ston provides an intimate understanding of how grapes are turned into wine and insight into Croatia’s history. If you’re looking for something more active, head up to Mountain Sljeme and hike, bike down, or even zip line!
  • Fresh seafood. One of the best things about Croatia is the fresh seafood. The Adriatic Sea is teeming with life, and the seafood here is some of the best in the world. Octopus, calamari, and lobster are just a few delicious options.

Visit Croatia aboard ALALYA, a 155.8-foot-power yacht that accommodates 12 in 6 staterooms. With a very attentive crew and lots of water toys, ALALYA will surely exceed your expectations for a luxury yacht.
