If you would like access to a large database of the newest bareboat charter vessels and the world’s best cruise destinations, then look no further than SEAMAJOR.
If you’re an independent sailor who would like control of your own boat, sailing at your own pace and along your own route, then a bareboat charter could be just the thing for you. Apart from the point of embarkation and return, the choice of route will be yours, with one-way charters sometimes possible too. Meet the criteria, follow an initial briefing, and away you go!
With such freedom and independence on offer, a bareboat charter is so very tempting, giving you access to the best yachting destinations in the world. Unrestricted by any outside influence, you and your friends can enjoy your own sailing experience aboard the vessel of your choice, sailing in your own time to your chosen locations along your own routes. Swimming and snorkeling in the sea, sunbathing on deck and on the beaches of isolated bays, and finding some of those idyllic harbor and seaside villages – it’s all up for grabs on a bareboat charter.
You will, of course, need someone among your party with sufficient experience to skipper the boat. That person will need to have a skipper license or certified sailing experience – check with SEAMAJOR for details. As long as you are in that position, then it’s “aye, aye, cap’n”, and away you and your friends go! Don’t forget – as there is no crew – that you will also be responsible for cooking and cleaning, but the choice of meals and eating times will all be yours.
If you can’t provide your own skipper, then SEAMAJOR can provide you with one to go with the charter yacht you choose.
Skippered Bareboat Charters
If you or your party have no sailing qualifications to charter a yacht yourself, then you are welcome to charter a bareboat yacht with an optional professional skipper. You may also gain some sailing experience as the skippers are more than happy to teach you the basics and let you take the wheel for a while for those that are interested. It’s all part of the fun.
With our friendly team of experts in the bareboat charter business, we will ensure that you get a quote within 24 hours of your enquiry, and we also offer a BEST PRICE GUARANTEE so you will know you’re getting the best value for money boat charters can offer.
Is your choice of boat a sailing catamaran, a large motor yacht or a mono-hulled sailboat? No matter! SEAMAJOR can provide them all. Get in touch now and begin arranging your perfect vacation.
If you prefer a more luxurious cruise with a captain, hostess and crew to wine and dine you, then visit Royalty Yachts which can offer you a wide range of fully crewed luxury motor yachts, catamarans and sailing yachts.

CROATIA
Croatia is the new Mediterranean paradise, the "pearl of the Adriatic". This beautiful oasis offers the warmth of the climate and people, crystal clear waters, peaceful bays and unique food and wines. Beach areas sparkle and provide the perfect opportunity to dive, snorkel and swim in relaxing conditions. Discover the beauty of Croatia, whilst overlooking the mesmerizing blue sea.
Like a setting from classical antiquity, the 350km Dalmatian coastline makes for a quintessential cruising ground. Stretching from Brioni in the north to Korcula in the south, it offers more than 1,400 islands floating tantalisingly in the azure waters of the Adriatic. With hidden coves, olive groves and perfectly formed white-stone villages, each island celebrates its own special charm, soaring mountains, deep gorges, cascading waterfalls and immense fields of lavender.
Astonishing clear water reflects the dramatic scenery, picturesque islands and fascinating ancient towns of the Dalmatian coast.
The second largest town in Croatia and capital of Dalmatia, Split is a cosmopolitan port full of sightseeing and shopping opportunities. This 1700-year old town features many fine buildings built ingeniously within and on top of the remains of the 3rd-century ruins of Roman emperor Diocletian's palace.
Ancient stone houses, fishing boats, jagged green bays and turquoise seas make Hvar one of the best-loved destinations in Dalmatia. The town of Hvar is a charming port of lovely promenades and quiet medieval back streets, a unique blend of luxuriant nature, rich cultural and historical heritage. Hvar features architectural monuments from ancient Greece through the Renaissance and Its natural landscapes are magnificent.
Vis is famous for its unspoilt environment, crystal-clear seas and numerous tranquil bays and beaches. Traditional small restaurants offer local delicacies like lamb, sheep and goats cheese, local wine, herbal spirits or seafood from the cleanest part of the Adriatic.
The Old Town on Korcula Island is a typical walled Dalmatian city with round defence towers and red-roofed houses. Visit the old square and you might catch a performance of Moreska, a traditional sword-fighting dance.
The island of Mljet is a rugged, emerald miracle in the southern Adriatic. Covered partly by a national park, Mljet features two lakes, one of which contains a small island, upon which lies a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. According to legend, Odysseus was cast by the sea onto the island of Mljet and ended up in the arms of Calypso.
Dubrovnik is an apparition. Recognised as a World Heritage Site, the old city is crowned by gargantuan 25 m walls built between the 13th and 16th centuries that provide an unsurpassed view over the sea. Inside the walls is a treasure trove of characteristically white medieval and renaissance monuments, while a labyrinthine cobbled streets meander to exquisite courtyards, classy cafés and excellent restaurants.
Zadar is the main city in northern Croatia and dates back to the 9th century BC. Traces of different cultures over the centuries are evident by the several layers of its city walls, preservation of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments and a historical collection of the Churchs silver and gold.
The Kornati National Park comprises an archipelago of hundreds of small islands, which offer its visitors the exceptional beauty of untouched wilderness. The reefs, steep pinnacles, fissures and caverns create an incomparable color palette.
The medieval Primosten, about halfway between Dubrovnik and Pula and a fitting starting point for an excursion through the Kornati archipelago, was in those days called Capocesto. The rocky headland, densely built up with houses, is one of the many attractions of the Dalmatian coast.
Croatia is truly a land of islands - it has more than a thousand! With its amazing 3,625 miles of coastline (2,520 of which belong to the islands) this country offers fascinating places to discover on your private Croatia yacht charter. There are only a few places in the world blessed with nearly 2,600 hours of annual sunshine that still truly deserve the description "unspoiled." The long chain of rugged islands of Croatia's mountainous coast makes this a yacht charter haven that is considered to be among the best in the world. Fine deep channels with abundant anchorages and a stable climate attract many yacht charter enthusiasts to Croatia. There are no big waves or high seas. There are no long distance routes across the open sea. You can anchor anytime you want and take a swim.
For those seeking privacy aboard their charter yacht or those who prefer untouched nature, Croatia offers Mediterranean wild beauty, warm colors with beautiful light, generous and fragrant vegetation. Its coast alternates cliffs and caves, rocky inlets, fine pebble beaches and majestic bays.
The "Land of Thousand Islands" is unique not only for its natural wonders but also for 2,000 years of different cultures. The history has evolved from centuries of occupation by foreign empires. The Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, in Split, has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, just like many other locations along the coast.
Many imperial residences and fortresses that speckle the landscape are considered some of the finest examples of intact classical architecture. Ancient and medieval towns rise from the greenish-blue sea creating stunning impressions.
Croatia is equally interesting today. Many towns and islands offer a spectacular backdrop to a dynamic restaurant, bar and cafe culture. The land of olives and wine, of cheese and fresh fish, borrowed influences from the trade routes that have passed its shores for centuries. Many claim that the seafood of the Adriatic is some of the best in the world.
