Private Small Ship Charter in Croatia

Your Own Private Ship on the Adriatic

Charter an entire small ship for a private seven-night cruise along the Croatian coast. With ships accommodating up to 36 guests, Zantium private charters are ideal for families, groups of friends, celebrations, corporate groups and travel professionals looking for exclusive use of a fully crewed vessel.

Choose your ship, preferred dates and route, and our Croatia-based team will help shape the cruise around your group. From Dubrovnik and Split to islands such as Hvar, Korčula, Mljet, Vis and Brač, a private charter gives you the freedom to experience the Adriatic with your own group aboard.


Why Charter a Private Ship in Croatia?

The Entire Ship Is Yours

Your group has exclusive use of the vessel, including its cabins, decks, dining areas and shared spaces. There are no other passengers joining your cruise.

A Cruise Designed Around Your Group

Private charter gives you greater flexibility over your itinerary and the way you spend your week on the Adriatic. Our team can help plan a route around your group’s interests, preferred destinations and travel arrangements, subject to cruising conditions and port requirements.

Ideal for Larger Private Groups

Our small ships provide an alternative to dividing a larger group between several yachts. With up to 18 cabins and accommodation for approximately 36 guests on selected vessels, friends, families and groups can travel together aboard one ship.

Local Knowledge and Support

Zantium Travel is based in Croatia and works directly with the ships, crews and destinations involved in your cruise. Our team can assist with the charter itself as well as transfers, excursions and wider travel arrangements in Croatia.

What’s Included in Your Private Charter?

A Zantium private charter combines exclusive use of your chosen ship with the crew, accommodation and onboard services needed for a week on the Croatian coast.

7 Nights Aboard Your Private Ship

Your group has exclusive use of the vessel for a seven-night, eight-day cruise, with accommodation in private en-suite cabins.

Professional Captain and Crew

Your ship is fully crewed throughout the journey, with an experienced captain and onboard team taking care of navigation, service and day-to-day life aboard.

Half-Board Dining

Half-board is included during the cruise, together with a welcome dinner and unlimited still water. Additional meals and specific dining arrangements can be organised for your group on request.

Housekeeping and Onboard Comfort

Daily cabin housekeeping, a midweek linen change and Wi-Fi are included. Depending on the vessel, guests can also enjoy spacious sun decks, swimming platforms and onboard leisure equipment.

Additional services such as airport transfers, excursions, additional meals and other arrangements can be incorporated into your charter according to your group’s requirements.


Where Can Your Private Charter Take You?

A private small ship is one of the best ways to explore Croatia’s coastline and islands. Rather than travelling between destinations by road or changing hotels, your ship travels with you while the Adriatic becomes part of the journey.

Dubrovnik to Split

Begin in Dubrovnik and cruise north through southern and central Dalmatia towards Split. Depending on your itinerary, the journey can include Mljet, Korčula, Hvar, Vis, Brač and the Pakleni Islands, together with swimming stops in bays and anchorages along the way.

Split to Dubrovnik

Cruise south from the Split area towards Dubrovnik, combining some of Croatia’s best-known islands with smaller coastal destinations and swimming stops throughout the week.

A Route Shaped Around Your Group

Private charter allows greater flexibility than joining a scheduled cruise. Tell us which destinations matter most to your group and our team will help design an itinerary that works with your chosen ship, embarkation point and travel dates.

Final itineraries remain subject to weather, navigation, port availability and the captain’s operational decisions. This flexibility also allows the crew to adapt the journey when conditions along the coast require it.
