Who YOLO suits
YOLO provides an exceptional setting for substantial gatherings, accommodating up to 30 guests across 15 cabins with a dedicated crew of 12. At 48.5 m, she is well configured for large family celebrations, corporate retreats or groups of friends cruising together. Life on board centres around her sun deck, which features a jacuzzi on deck and an outdoor bar, while active guests can head to the water with seabobs and a water slide.
When weighed against comparable yachts cruising in Croatia, YOLO stands out primarily for her capacity, welcoming more guests than alternatives in the area. In other respects, she aligns closely with the local market: her length sits at a similar level, her 2019 build year reflects a similar vintage, and her weekly rate is similar to what one expects for yachts of this calibre.
Looking ahead to summer 2027, the best time to plan a charter in Croatia and the East Mediterranean spans from May through September. High summer across July and August brings warm sea breezes and vibrant atmospheres along the coast, while June and September provide wonderful cruising conditions. Early and late season voyages across April, October or November deliver quieter waters for guests seeking calm anchorages.

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, HvarA busy port with Venetian architecture, offering town quay mooring and a nearby anchorage at the Pakleni Islands for quieter nights.
- Skradin, Krka RiverLocated up the Krka River, this town provides access to the Krka National Park waterfalls and requires navigating a buoyed channel from Šibenik.
- Polače, MljetA 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, LastovoA well-protected bay on the northern side of Lastovo island, shielded by a small islet, offering safe mooring and clear water for swimming.
