Things to do in Hvar

Spanjola Fortress

Towering over Hvar town and offering stellar views of the Pakleni Islands, this fortress is an essential visit during your boat rental week. Some of the most impressive architecture of Croatia can be found here, and thanks to the ascent over Hvar, you can see the range of boats, motor yachts, and catamarans perched in their berths. Leave your cabins early in the day to avail of a quieter time with uninterrupted views over the town.

Jerolim Island

Looking for a tranquil holiday for a day visit during a week sailing through Hvar on your yacht charter? Then this idyllic haven is the perfect destination for you and your guests. Your skipper won’t find an ACI Marina here as it is completely uninhabited, but there are ample berths to leave your boat as you explore this pristine island. The Adriatic Sea is heavenly here, and it is the perfect place to top up your tan. As opposed to Split, this is an isolated and tranquil corner of Croatia, meaning you will only be woken in your cabins by the gentle sounds of waves against the boat. No matter the length of your Hvar yacht charter holiday, make sure this island is on your to-do list.

Day Trip to Split

An iconic city in Croatia, Split is very accessible on your boat during your yacht charter holiday. A much livelier spot in Hvar, it offers great atmosphere and luxury shopping opportunities that some guests may love. If you have a skipper included, they can recommend great restaurants and bars to visit, and the Split ACI Marinas and berths here have no issue taking any boat of any length throughout the year. Split can offer an energetic day trip during your week of island-hopping sailing. Spend the night in the cabins and get up early the next day to avail of great sea views, exploring the old town, or visit the national parks (for example, Krka National Park) which are found close by. This change of pace makes a boat rental in Croatia an ideal Mediterranean Sea charter.

Sailing Conditions

The island of Hvar is one of the most well-connected islands in Croatia thanks to extensive boat, motor yacht charter, and ferry transfers.
