Family, Kids & Special Occasions — FAQ

Croatia is one of the best family charter destinations anywhere — calm, sheltered seas, short hops between islands, safe swimming bays and child-friendly towns. On a crewed motor yacht the captain and crew handle everything, so parents relax while children swim, snorkel and explore. Splendid Yachting welcomes families with children of all ages.

Yes. Crews are trained in safety, the seas between the Dalmatian islands are calm, and yachts carry life jackets for every guest. On request the crew can rig safety netting around the rails for younger children and brief the family on board. Parents remain responsible for supervision, with the crew supporting throughout.

There is no age limit — families travel with babies through to teenagers. As a practical guide it helps if children are comfortable in and around water. For toddlers, request safety netting and bring familiar essentials. The crew adapts the pace, anchorages and meals to suit the youngest guests aboard.

Yes. Yachts carry life jackets for all passengers, and the crew can source child and infant sizes when you confirm ages in advance. Note each child age and weight when booking so the right jackets are on board, and the crew will have them ready at embarkation.

Crews are wonderful with children — guiding snorkelling, supervising water toys, towing the tender to quiet beaches and finding ice-cream stops ashore. While the crew are not nannies, they keep young guests engaged and safe in the water. For full childcare, a dedicated nanny can be arranged on request.

Plenty. Most yachts carry water toys — paddleboards, seabobs, snorkelling gear, kayaks and a tender — perfect for active teenagers, plus the chance to wakeboard, cliff-jump in safe coves and explore island towns. The crew tailors each day so teens stay busy on the water while the family relaxes.

Choose the right yacht →

Yes. The sheltered Dalmatian waters are calm, a stabilised motor yacht stays steady, and the crew provides life jackets and watches the water carefully. Guests nervous about the sea quickly relax once aboard. Let the team know any concerns and the crew adapts the swimming, anchorages and pace accordingly.

It is one of the most romantic honeymoons imaginable — private decks, secluded anchorages, candle-lit dinners by the chef and a crew anticipating your every wish. The crew can arrange champagne, flowers, special menus and quiet bays just for the two of you. September is an especially beautiful, warm and peaceful month for it.

Absolutely. Tell the team the occasion and the crew arranges a decorated table, a cake, chilled champagne and a special menu in a setting no restaurant can match — at anchor under the stars in a quiet Dalmatian bay. Many guests charter specifically to mark a milestone in a memorable way.

Very. A crewed yacht makes a striking venue for executive retreats, client entertainment, product launches and team building — a floating private space with catering, water sports and stunning backdrops. For larger groups, several yachts can cruise together as a flotilla. Splendid Yachting arranges the logistics from Šibenik end to end.

Enquire about corporate charters →

Yes. A larger motor yacht can host one big group of up to twelve guests, or several yachts can cruise together so multiple families or a party of friends share the same route and anchorages. The team coordinates the yachts, crews and itinerary so everyone travels together seamlessly.

The motor yachts in the fleet typically sleep 4 to 12 guests, so a group of friends can share the whole yacht and split the charter fee, sharply lowering the price per person. The crew helps match cabin layout to your group so everyone is comfortable for the week.

Yes. The crew can provision flowers, balloons, a celebration cake, premium champagne and themed table settings, and set the scene in a beautiful anchorage. Note the occasion and any wishes on your preference sheet or with the team, and the crew handles the surprise on the day.
