Croatia is a truly unique superyacht charter destination. With its long history and rich culture, host of UNESCO heritage sites, lively and unparalleled nightlife, and abundance of natural beauty and breathtaking views, it really is a must-visit vacation spot.
The captain and crew of Loon have plenty of tricks up their sleeve to ensure your Croatian superyacht charter is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. As we explore the crystal clear waters and over 1000 uninhabited islands, we’ll anchor in secluded bays and tie up against rocky coves to create private beach clubs where you can enjoy cocktails in the sun and unforgettable Croatian sunsets. Discover the magic of the Dalmatian Coast aboard M/Y Loon and make memories to last a lifetime.
Dubrovnik
Begin your Croatian superyacht charter in the ancient city of Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic. We’ll welcome you aboard with a warm smile and a tantalizing taste of local flavors, with locally inspired cocktails and snacks. Guests can explore Dubrovnik’s well-preserved old town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, which features an exciting mix of architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque. Stroll the limestone streets while marvelling at the countless historical sites such as Rector’s Palace and spot the many filming locations for HBO’S epic Game of Thrones. Take the cable car to the top of Mount Srd for views that stretch up to 60km giving an unrivalled panoramic of the old town, the Adriatic Sea, and surrounding islands. From the 10th of July until the 25th of August, city visitors can enjoy the Summer Dubrovnik Festival, which boasts theatre, opera, music, and dance events at various open-air venues around the city.
If you’d rather get straight out onto the water, we can head straight to the nearby unspoiled paradise of the island of Mijet. Boasting beautiful sandy secluded beaches and outstanding underwater wildlife. It’s a great place for us to anchor so guests can familiarise themselves with some of our toys. There’s a lot to see for scuba divers and snorkelers, and the stand-up paddle boards will provide hours of relaxing entertainment as you explore the island’s coastline.
Lastovo Island
The wild and remote island of Lastavo remains pristine and untouched and is one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets. With the entire island given National Park status, you can expect a magnificent, lush hilly green interior and a coastline featuring miles of sandy, untouched beaches, sparkling bays, and coves.
Surrounded by a multitude of neighboring islets, Lastavo is close to several exciting dive sites, including the underwater passage through the islet of Bijelac, the underwater cave at islet Tajan, and the 80-meter-deep wall of gorgonians at Cape Struga. It’s also the perfect place for us to set out toys like the netted sea pool so you can enjoy the deep crystal clear waters off the back of the yacht with total peace of mind and then make a splash with the yacht slide from Main Deck. Let us cook up a sunset feast with the catch of the day from the island’s market, which you can enjoy on the beach or from a decadent table spread onboard.
Vis
This traditional and unspoiled Dalmatian island is quickly becoming a superyacht hotspot. Drawing attention to itself as one of the filming locations for Mama Mia Here We Go Again, Vis has plenty to offer all types of superyacht charter guests. On land, the charming waterfront is home to many gastronomic restaurants. Restaurant Pojoda stands out as the perfect spot to sample the local wine and enjoy a meal of local fish dishes.
Nature lovers will adore Vis. Its lush hills are abundant with wild herbs, fruit trees, and vineyards. The beautiful Stiniva Beach is one of Europe’s best-hidden beaches, and there are also two caves well worth exploring. The famous Blue Cave is one of the most popular attractions in Vis, located on the tiny nearby islet of Biševo. Visitors can enter by tender and enjoy a cave illuminated by glowing blue light. The lesser-known Green Cave is found on the islet of Ravnik. Unlike its famous brother, visitors can swim and snorkel in the Green Cave. Experienced divers will delight in diving to depths of 70 meters to explore the huge Flying Fortress plane that went down in 1944 over Cape Polivalo.
Hvar
With over 2700 sunlit hours a year, the famous Croatian superyacht hotspot of Hvar is labelled as the sunniest island in the world. This sun-kissed island offers the perfect balance of modern glamour and historic charm, with its classy cocktail bars, high-class hotels, designer boutiques, and vibrant beach clubs all set within its Gothic palaces and winding marble streets. Active guests can enjoy mountain biking through the rugged trails of the island or hiking tours through hillside vineyards and lavender fields.
Guests looking for a party will love the famous Carpe Diem beach club. Just a ten-minute tender ride from Hvar town, the beach club promises to keep the party rolling from 11 am until sunrise the next morning, seven days a week. Beach Club Hvar is the perfect alternative for those wanting a more tranquil beach club vibe. Sitting in a stunning bay next to Bonj Beach, guests can enjoy a range of treatments at the onsite spa, followed by a mouth-watering lunch at the restaurant.
Just off the coast of Hvar are the beautiful Pakleni Islands. The 16 islands make up 10km of deserted beaches, crystal blue lagoons, and even a smattering of nudist beaches. The islands offer plenty of spots for us to set up our famous Loon beach club, complete with luxury loungers, water toys, and inflatables. Relax as we keep the cocktails flowing while the chef grills up the catch of the day on the BBQ. Keen divers will want to head to the northern arm of Dobri Island for an exciting exploration of the remains of ancient Roman baths.
