Sail the Dalmatian coast between Dubrovnik and Split aboard comfortable modern yachts — calling at walled island towns and swimming from the deck in coves the big ships never see.

ABTOT memberHolidays without flightsA Croatia cruise on a small ship is a relaxed, informal way to travel. Our vessels carry a limited number of guests, which means they can berth in the heart of island towns and anchor in coves that larger ships have to sail straight past.
Itineraries are built around time ashore and time in the water — a morning walking the walls of Dubrovnik, an afternoon swim off the back of the yacht, an evening in a harbour where the restaurants are a few steps from the gangway.
Routes run along the Dalmatian coast between Dubrovnik and Split, taking in Hvar, Korčula, Mljet, Trogir, Brač and Vis, with some voyages continuing south into Montenegro.
One-way voyages along the coast, round trips from Split, Trogir and Dubrovnik, and a sailing that carries on into Montenegro — each with time to explore ashore and swim along the way.
A round trip from Dubrovnik aboard the 34-guest M/Y Callisto, island hopping to Mljet, Korčula, Lastovo, Vis and Hvar before sailing into Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor.
From Trogir to Hvar, Korčula, Mljet and Dubrovnik at an easy pace aboard M/Y Futura, a modern Katarina Line yacht for 36 guests.
A round trip from Split along the southern Dalmatian coast, with Mljet National Park, Korčula, Hvar and the UNESCO-listed old town of Dubrovnik.
Between Dubrovnik and Trogir aboard the 38-guest M/Y Adriatic Sun, with Mljet National Park, Korčula, Hvar, Vis and a swim at Brač’s Golden Horn beach.

Take the whole ship for a family gathering, a group of friends or a special celebration.
Every vessel in our Croatian collection carries a small number of guests, with a high crew-to-passenger ratio and a swim platform for stops along the coast.
A classic 50-metre motor yacht for 34 guests in 17 cabins, with natural wood and brass details. Refitted in 2016 and renovated in 2022.
A modern Katarina Line Deluxe Superior yacht for 36 guests in 18 air-conditioned cabins, with a sun deck and hot tub. Refurbished in 2025.
A Premium Superior coastal yacht for 36 guests, small enough for the tiniest Dalmatian ports. Built in 2012 and refurbished in 2026.
A Deluxe Superior yacht launched in 2018 for 38 guests in 19 cabins, with a top-deck jacuzzi and balcony cabins on the upper deck.
Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, alongside Trogir, Korčula and Split — old towns you step into straight from the quayside.
More than a thousand islands, islets and reefs, with national parks, pine-backed bays and swimming stops reached only from the water.
Adriatic seafood, Dalmatian olive oil and island wines — Korčula and the Pelješac peninsula are worth the detour on their own.
Ports sit close together along this coast, so days are spent exploring and swimming rather than crossing open water.

A small ship cruise in Croatia is a voyage along the Dalmatian coast aboard a vessel carrying a limited number of guests rather than several thousand. Smaller yachts can berth in compact island harbours and anchor in sheltered coves that large cruise ships cannot reach, which means more time ashore and a relaxed, informal atmosphere on board.
Itineraries typically call at Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Korčula, Mljet, Trogir, Brač, Vis, Lastovo and Makarska, and some routes continue into Montenegro. Each cruise follows its own route, so the exact ports are listed on the individual itinerary page.
Most Croatian cruises run for around a week, either as a round trip or as a one-way voyage between Dubrovnik and Split. Shorter and longer sailings are available depending on the vessel and the season, and hotel nights can be added at either end.
Inclusions vary by vessel and operator, and typically cover your cabin, meals on board and the cruise itinerary itself. Shore excursions, drinks packages, national park fees, flights and transfers may be included or added separately, so please check the individual cruise page or speak to our team.
As a guide, our 9- and 10-day Croatia cruise packages start from about £2,300 per person sharing Flights & hotel included, and 8-day cruise-only fares from about £1,810 per person. The price depends on the yacht, cabin and departure date, and special offers change through the season, so each cruise page shows its live prices.
Yes. We arrange tailor-made packages that combine your cruise with flights to Dubrovnik or Split, hotel stays and transfers. Flight-inclusive holidays booked with us are ATOL protected under licence 9511.
The Croatian cruising season generally runs from late spring through to early autumn. May, June and September bring warm weather and quieter harbours, while July and August are the warmest and busiest months along the Dalmatian coast.
Yes. Many of the small ships we represent are available for private charter, which suits families, groups of friends, special celebrations and corporate groups who want the vessel and itinerary to themselves.
