Charter brokers
since 2013.
Yacht charter brokers since 2013 — offices in Croatia with partner bases across Greece, Italy, Spain, Türkiye and the Caribbean. Sailboats, catamarans, motor yachts and gulets, bareboat or fully crewed.
A charter desk founded in 2013, grown across five countries.
Europe Yachts is a yacht charter broker founded in 2013, with home offices in Croatia and partner bases across Greece, Italy, Spain, Türkiye and the Caribbean. What started as a small Adriatic desk has grown into one of the region's most established charter networks — sailing yachts, catamarans, motor yachts, gulets and motorboats, bareboat or fully crewed, anywhere our partner fleets operate.
You can step aboard from twenty-plus bases across the Mediterranean and the Caribbean — Split, Trogir, Sukošan and Dubrovnik on the Adriatic; Athens, Lavrion, Lefkada and Corfu in Greece; the Bay of Naples, Olbia and Palermo in Italy; Palma, Ibiza and Cartagena in Spain; Marmaris, Göcek and Bodrum in Türkiye; and Tortola, Saint-Martin and Antigua across the Caribbean. Every boat we book is locally maintained and base-checked by partner operators we have worked with for years.
Four things we don't compromise.
Sea-tested partners, vetted boat by boat
Thirteen years on the desk taught us which fleets you can hand a family to in August and which ones you walk away from. Every yacht in our quote list has been on the water this season — annual inspection signed off, liferaft repacked, EPIRB registered to the current owner. Bareboat skippers send us their licence and VHF certificate before we confirm a hold; if the paperwork is thin or the experience does not match the boat, we say so on the phone, not at check-in. A handful of refused bookings per year is part of how we keep insurance clean and clients sailing.
A quote you can hand to your accountant
One line for the boat. One line for the mandatory extras — final cleaning, transit log, tourist tax in the countries that levy it. One line for the optional crew or toys. One line for the refundable deposit. Fuel, marina fees on the route, provisioning along the way: we publish a realistic weekly range per region (Croatia and Greece tend lower; Sardinia, Balearics and BVI tend higher) so the trip budget is on the page before you sign anything. No service charges hidden in the booking link.
Six cruising grounds, one team that has sailed them
Mario and the brokers on the desk have personally cast off from most of the bases we sell. We know the wind that runs through the Velebit channel in late May, the spot inside Lefkas where the meltemi loses bite after sundown, the Bay of Naples anchorages that fill before noon in July, the BVI moorings that disappear in the Easter charter rush. That judgement lives on the phone, not in a destination page — and it is the one part of a yacht week a search algorithm will never replicate.
A coastline we plan to keep working
Our operating licence depends on the fleet behaving like guests in waters that are protected for good reason. Crews get a one-page brief before departure — anchor on sand, never on Posidonia or eelgrass, take a managed mooring buoy where one is laid, carry the permit inside any marine park on the route. The Aeolian and Egadi parks in Italy, the Alonnisos park in Greece, the Kornati and Mljet parks in Croatia, the BVI marine zones — each of those has rules we know by heart and pass on to every group that steps aboard.
How we work
A lot of charter websites are search engines with a logo — you click around, pick a boat, and your enquiry gets forwarded to whichever fleet operator happens to own it. We run a broker desk instead. The Split office handles every quote in person, with named colleagues in Athens, the Bay of Naples, Palma, Marmaris and Tortola who know their local base managers by first name. When a bora warning rolls into the Adriatic on a Wednesday morning, the broker who wrote your contract is the one re-routing the boat — not a ticket queue.
We can also adapt the contract after you have chosen the boat. If your group loses its licensed skipper at the last minute, we add a captain. If you decide a hostess would make the week easier, we arrange one. Read the payment procedure for the booking timeline and refund terms, or the yacht management page if you own a boat and want it placed in our charter program.
Our network
We work with partner marinas and base operators across all five Mediterranean countries we serve — family-run yards around Split and Dubrovnik on the Adriatic, dedicated catamaran fleets in Lefkada, Preveza and Corfu, motor-yacht specialists in the Bay of Naples and around Sardinia, sail-charter operators in Palma and Ibiza, and gulet programs out of Marmaris and Bodrum. Many of these relationships go back twenty years or more. When something needs fixing mid-charter, the partner network responds because they know us — not because of a service-level agreement.
Europe Yachts is part of the wider Boat4You Group, which also operates dedicated country brands for catamaran charter in Croatia, Greece, Italy and the Caribbean. If your plans cross regions or you want to combine two cruising grounds in a single booking, our team coordinates end-to-end across the group.

Set of our latest
sailing questions
You can get in touch with the skipper as soon as you've completed your booking.
Our skippers are highly qualified and knowledgeable about their locality. They all speak English. For a bareboat charter, the skipper is paid in the marina at check-in (on a crewed charter the crew is already included in the price).
The honest answer: tell us the headcount, the cruising ground and how active the group wants to be, and we will narrow the list down for you in one phone call. Across the six countries we work in, the bookings fall into five buckets:
- Sailing yachts (38–55 ft) — the workhorse of every Med fleet. Best price-per-cabin, sportier feel under sail, modest galley.
- Catamarans (40–60 ft) — twin hulls, level deck, double the saloon space. Our most-booked category since 2018, especially in the Cyclades, BVI and Bay of Naples.
- Gulets (20–35 m) — wooden Turkish-built motorsailers, always with skipper, hostess and cook in the price. Cabin charter exists on a handful; full charter is the standard.
- Motor yachts and motorboats — for groups that want to cover ground rather than sail it. Bigger fuel bill, faster between anchorages.
- Luxury crewed yachts (24 m+) — chef on board, MYBA contract, APA running account. Different category, different conversation.
Three questions we always come back to before the shortlist gets sent:
- How many adults and how many under-twelves? Children change the cabin count and the safety-net spec.
- Couples sharing cabins, or do singles need their own? A four-cabin layout for six adults can mean three couples and a hot bunk in the saloon.
- Bareboat, or do you want a skipper or hostess? A skipper costs a cabin or a saloon berth — factor it in early.
Sailing yacht if at least one person on board wants the feel of sailing — the heel, the trim, the small daily decisions a monohull asks of the skipper. Catamaran if comfort is the priority — flat deck even under sail, two saloons of usable living space, a galley that works at anchor and underway, and a draft shallow enough to anchor closer to shore than a monohull ever could. Most catamarans run two engines and rarely heel beyond about five degrees, which is why families with first-time guests and groups with mixed sailing confidence book them by default. For the same weekly budget you tend to get one boat-length less on a cat than on a monohull, so the trade is space against price.
Three ways, all of which land in the same broker desk in Split:
- Online wizard — pick dates, country and crew size on the boat-finder. We come back inside a business day with a shortlist of three to five matched yachts.
- Phone or email — describe the trip in your own words to +385 91 300 0009 or info@europe-yachts.com. Most quotes go out the same afternoon.
- Direct yacht request — already saw a specific yacht on our site? Click "Request offer" on the boat page and the option lands with the broker who covers that base.
Once you choose a yacht we place a 24- to 72-hour hold while you confirm flights, crew list and any skipper paperwork. The boat is locked the moment the first instalment lands — 30%, 40% or 50% of the total depending on the partner's terms, or the full amount if the charter starts inside 60 days. Bank transfer and Visa/Mastercard/Amex both work; every payment is covered by Wiener Insurance Group at no extra cost.
Inside the first 72 hours after booking, you can still cancel free of charge — full refund, no questions asked.
