Motor Sailer Charter
Private Motor Sailer Charter from Split
There are 20 motor sailers in Split, 27 to 52 m long and taking 8 to 36 guests. Across Croatia we list 21.
A motor sailer pairs the comfort of a motor yacht with sails, so you can sail when the wind suits and motor when it doesn't, on decks as spacious as a gulet's. Boarding is at ACI Marina Split, 25–40 minutes by road from Split Airport (SPU), for a week-long Dalmatian loop or a one-way run to Dubrovnik.
Share your dates, group size and the kind of charter you want, and we'll come back within 24 hours with availability and prices.
