Who ROMANCA suits

ROMANCA is a sailing yacht well suited for large groups looking to enjoy the water. With 9 cabins accommodating 18 guests, she provides a practical layout for friends or extended family. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities during their time on board, including a seabob, paddleboards, a canoe, and a jet ski.

When positioned in Croatia, she sits at a length similar to comparable yachts. She takes more guests than most alternatives in the area, providing a distinct advantage for those travelling in a large party. While her build year is similar to other vessels found in these waters, her weekly rate is higher.

The best time to experience her is between May and September. Throughout the summer 2026 and winter 2026 seasons, she remains in the East Mediterranean and Croatia. This allows for steady exploration of the coast during the warmer months, supported by a crew of 5.

Cruising Croatia: when to go and where to anchor

Best time

The charter season runs from May to October. July and August are the warmest and busiest months, with light to moderate Maestral winds blowing from the north-west in the afternoons. May, June, September, and October offer quieter anchorages and cooler temperatures. The Bora, a strong north-easterly wind, and the Jugo, a south-easterly wind, are more frequent outside the peak summer months, requiring careful anchorage selection.

Practical tips

Fly into Split (SPU) or Dubrovnik (DBV). Split marinas are about 30 minutes away, Trogir is 5 to 10 minutes, and ACI Marina Dubrovnik is 30 minutes from DBV.
Yachts must register crew and guest lists with the e-Crew system before departure, and local tourist taxes are calculated per person, per day.
Town quays often use lazy lines rather than anchors. Harbourmasters allocate berths on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early in the afternoon during July and August.

Anchorages to know

Hvar Town, Hvar
A busy port with Venetian architecture, offering town quay mooring and a nearby anchorage at the Pakleni Islands for quieter nights.
Skradin, Krka River
Located up the Krka River, this town provides access to the Krka National Park waterfalls and requires navigating a buoyed channel from Šibenik.
Polače, Mljet
A large, pine-fringed bay on the northern coast of Mljet Island, providing good holding and direct access to the trails of Mljet National Park.
Zaklopatica, Lastovo
A well-protected bay on the northern side of Lastovo island, shielded by a small islet, offering safe mooring and clear water for swimming.
