Where glamorous towns, rural inland villages, and UNESCO heritage are packaged into a paradise for yachters. Hvar is one of Europe’s best islands that has it all. Hvar is arguably the most famous yachting destination in the Dalmatia region and one of the most talked about summer spots in Croatia, often plastered across prestigious international travel magazines as one of Europe’s best islands. And that is not something we can dispute.
When is the best time to visit Hvar on a yacht?
Croatia’s sunniest island sees chic international travelers and ultra-luxury yachters swarm its breathtaking coastline in the heated summer months. May to October is the ideal time to enjoy the perks of Hvar’s healing Mediterranean climate, so much so that the island has been known as a health sanitarium since 1868. Your Hvar yacht charter is best enjoyed any time from late spring to late summer, and if you fear tourism crowds? Cruise during the shoulder seasons instead.
What makes Hvar unique?
The salty sea air and unbeatable coastline hardly make up for half of why Hvar’s greatness knows no bounds. In addition to navigating its stunning bays, coves, and islets, your Hvar yacht charter is enhanced by historic coastal towns and fascinating rural villages set against the backdrop of thriving olive groves and aromatic lavender fields. Hvar’s rolling green hills hide impressive winemakers and olive oil producers, where you’ll feel the authentic lifestyle of the islanders most.
While the island is mainly known for its glitzy and glamorous Hvar town, a go-to for extravagance, no matter if you’re looking for world-class nightlife, dining, or pristine Renaissance architecture, the humbler towns on the island level the playing field. The colorful Stari Grad is considered the oldest town in Croatia, with roots dating back to 384 BC, while Vrboska is Croatia’s ‘little Venice.’ And for those looking to dive into Hvar's culture and customs, did you know Hvar is the only island in the world with 6 UNESCO World Heritage protections?
What are the best restaurants in Hvar?
Hvar town is a haven for foodies, with a range of restaurants that can appeal to all types and tastes. Gariful on the Riva is not only a hot spot for celebrity sightings, but its display of freshly caught fish entices seafood lovers to its seafront terrace. Humac tavern is where you’ll want to go for the most authentic, electricity-free village experience on the island, while Hvar even boasts one Michelin Guide restaurant located within the 5-star Maslina Resort near Stari Grad!
Why is Hvar a great place to visit on a yacht charter?
Because of Hvar’s best beaches, from the magical and media-popular Dubovica to Malo Zaraće, an insider tip that has yet to see many footsteps of tourists. Navigate your way to the nearby islets of Otočić Duga and Otok Gališnik, and stop for a swim at the deserted island of Zečevo, an untouched naturist's dream.
Setting sail to the Pakleni Islands is a must for any yacht charter in Hvar. This chain of rocky yet wooded isles sits in front of Hvar town, inviting yachters to explore its hidden lagoons, secluded beaches, and swanky beach clubs. Palmižana is the most famous stop for luxury yachts, where the finest seafood restaurants and lavish lounge bars line the bay.
Hvar’s surroundings are equally as appealing, with the must-see Vis and Korčula islands easy to discover on your Hvar yacht charter. The untouched Vis was closed off to visitors for 40 years during the Yugoslavia era, resulting in wholly intact nature and authentic towns that thrive off of modest fishing traditions. Korčula is a smaller version of Dubrovnik, with its red-roofed old town wrapped in defensive medieval walls. Korčula’s historic center also holds luxurious secrets, like Michelin-star dining!
