Trogir Yacht Charter

Trogir Croatia is a masterpiece of Mediterranean urban planning — a compact UNESCO World Heritage island town where Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces, and baroque façades line narrow marble streets, all encircled by medieval walls and connected to the mainland by a single stone bridge. Often described as an open-air museum, Trogir old town occupies a tiny island wedged between the Croatian mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, creating a sheltered harbour that has welcomed seafarers since the Greek colonists of Tragurion arrived in the 3rd century BC. The town’s crown jewel is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, whose extraordinary Romanesque portal by the master craftsman Radovan is considered one of the finest examples of medieval sculpture in all of Europe. For yacht travellers exploring the Dalmatian coast with Splendid Yachting’s crewed motor yacht charters, sailing Trogir offers the rare pleasure of mooring within arm’s reach of a UNESCO site while remaining just 12 nautical miles from Split and minutes from Split Airport — making it an ideal first or last night of a Croatian charter.

Trogir as a first or last night

Because Trogir sits just 12 nautical miles from Split, many charters that embark or disembark in Split add a night here at the start or end of the week, close enough that it barely changes the itinerary but different enough in character to be worth the stop. Guests arriving a day before boarding often prefer staying in Trogir over Split itself, since the old town is smaller, quieter in the evening, and easy to see in full within a single afternoon.

Mooring is available both within the old town channel, close enough to step off the yacht onto the marble streets, and at the marina on the Ciovo side of the bridge, a short walk across to the historic centre. Restaurants along the waterfront serve fresh Adriatic fish with a view back toward the Cathedral of St Lawrence, and the walk around the town walls takes under an hour, making it easy to fit in even on a short stop.

Combining Trogir with a Split departure

Trogir is not typically a full day’s stop on its own, but pairs naturally with any charter beginning or ending at our partner marina in Split. Guests wanting to see both towns often spend their first night in Trogir before a short morning cruise to Split for boarding, or the reverse on the final day of the charter, giving a quieter, more personal introduction or farewell to the Croatian coast than Split’s busier waterfront offers on its own.
