Introduction

Why charter a yacht in Vis Island.

A luxury yacht charter Vis Island rewards guests with a combination you cannot replicate from a hotel: total privacy, an itinerary that flexes around your party, and access to coves, restaurants and reefs that road-bound travellers simply never see. Blue Ocean Club curates Vis Island cruises across motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and superyachts — every option live-priced against the global live availability feed and presented with our 100% best-price guarantee.

Charter a luxury yacht for Vis Island — crewed motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans from Blue Ocean Club with real-time availability for 2026. Days unfold at the pace of the sea: long swims off the platform, lunch at a beach club where your concierge has held the best table, an afternoon cruise to a quieter anchorage, cocktails on the bow as the light softens. The captain rewrites tomorrow's plan based on tonight's weather and your party's mood.

We work with a small list of crewed yacht charter Vis Island operators we know personally — captains we have cruised with, chefs whose tasting menus we have eaten, stewardesses who know your children's names by the end of day one. The result is a charter that feels less like a booking and more like a private invitation.

Marinas & Ports

Real marinas & ports in Vis Island.

Vis Town Quay (Riva)

The main harbour in Vis, placing you directly in the heart of the island's largest town. Berths are on the town quay, offering immediate access to restaurants, cafes, and historical sites.

Insider · This is a popular and busy quay. Instruct your captain to book a berth well in advance, especially in July and August, as space is limited and highly sought after.

Kut Harbour

Located at the eastern end of Vis Town, Kut is a quieter, more exclusive alternative to the main quay. This historic part of town is filled with aristocratic stone houses and superb restaurants.

Insider · The water is deeper here, but space is even more limited. It's the preferred spot for those seeking a more refined and peaceful evening atmosphere.

Komiža Town Quay (Riva)

Situated on the western coast of Vis, Komiža is a quintessential fishing village with a lively waterfront. The quay is the centre of all activity, with fishing boats and yachts moored side-by-side.

Insider · Komiža is exposed to the afternoon Maestral and westerly winds, which can make mooring uncomfortable. Trust your captain's judgement on overnight stays; sometimes a nearby anchorage is a better option.

ACI Marina Palmižana

Not on Vis itself, but a critical and luxurious stop on any Vis itinerary, located on Sveti Klement in the Pakleni Islands. This is a full-service marina with excellent facilities, restaurants, and art galleries.

Insider · Use Palmižana as a sophisticated base to explore Hvar Town (a short water taxi away) before or after the tranquility of Vis. It offers a perfect contrast.

Nautički Centar Komiža

A newer, dedicated nautical centre just north of the main Komiža Riva, offering more secure mooring buoys and some pontoon berths. It provides better protection and services than the traditional town quay.

Insider · For yachts requiring more reliable power and water connections in Komiža, this is the superior choice. Bookings are essential as it's becoming the preferred professional option.

Local Luxury

Luxury experiences in Vis Island.

Restaurants, beach clubs, diving, events, private aviation and villas your concierge can pre-book before you board.

Arrange for your yacht's tender to take you to the Blue Cave on Biševo at first light, before the tourist boats from Split arrive. Experience the ethereal blue light in near-total privacy, followed by a champagne breakfast back on board.

Explore Vis's fascinating and clandestine past as a military fortress with a private guide in a vintage Land Rover. Visit the abandoned submarine pen, secret tunnels, and the former Yugoslavian army command post at Mount Hum for unparalleled views.

Visit a top local winery like Lipanović, set in a former military cave, or Antonio Lipanovic for a private tasting. Discover the island's indigenous white grape, Vugava, and the robust red, Plavac Mali, guided by the winemakers themselves.

Go beyond the restaurant and have your broker arrange a Peka dinner at a private, family-owned olive grove or vineyard. This is a truly authentic experience, enjoying the traditional slow-cooked feast under the stars in a completely exclusive setting.

Vis is a world-class diving destination due to its clear water and numerous wrecks. Arrange for a private dive master to guide you on an exploration of a sunken B-17 bomber or the well-preserved Italian steamship Teti, with all equipment handled by your crew.

Due to its remote location and lack of light pollution, Vis offers some of the best stargazing in the Mediterranean. Have your crew prepare cocktails and blankets on the sundeck in a secluded bay like Vela Smokova for an unforgettable celestial show.

Charter Cost

What does a Vis Island yacht charter cost?

The charter fee covers the yacht and crew, while all other expenses are covered by the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). The APA is typically 30-35% of the charter fee and covers fuel, food, drinks, port fees, and other incidentals. Any unspent APA is returned to you at the end of the charter.

Yacht tierWeekly base (EUR)Notes
Luxury Catamarans (18-24m)EUR 30,000 - 80,000 / weekOffers exceptional space and stability. The higher end represents newer, larger, and power catamaran models with more crew and amenities.
Motor Yachts (25-35m)EUR 60,000 - 150,000 / weekThe core of the luxury charter market. Pricing depends heavily on the yacht's age, builder reputation, and amenities like a jacuzzi or extensive water toys.
Superyachts (35-50m)EUR 150,000 - 300,000 / weekThese yachts offer supreme luxury, professional hotel services, and a large crew. Availability can be limited, so booking a year in advance is recommended.
Large Superyachts (50m+)EUR 300,000 - 800,000+ / weekWhile Vis island's quays cannot accommodate these vessels, they can anchor off and use their extensive tenders to access all the best locations in ultimate privacy and style.

Anchorages

Best anchorages & bays in Vis Island.

The protected coves, sandbanks and lagoons your captain will plot into your week.

Stiniva Bay

Southern coast of Vis

An iconic, almost-enclosed pebble beach accessible only through a narrow sea gate. The dramatic cliffs make it one of the most famous and breathtaking spots in Croatia.

Budikovac Island (Blue Lagoon)

East of Vis, near Rukavac

A stunningly clear and sheltered turquoise lagoon between two small islands. It's an idyllic spot for a long afternoon of swimming, snorkeling, and using the yacht's water toys.

Stončica Bay

Northeastern coast of Vis

A wide, sandy-bottomed bay with calm, shallow waters, making it perfect for families. A small, charming restaurant and beach bar are nestled under the palm trees on the beach.

Srebrna Bay (Silver Beach)

Southeastern coast of Vis

Named for its large, smooth, silver-hued pebbles that shimmer in the moonlight. The water is exceptionally clear, and it's a wonderfully peaceful place to anchor for a swim.

Porat Bay

Western coast of Biševo Island

A beautiful sandy beach on the opposite side of Biševo from the Blue Cave. It's a far more tranquil alternative for an overnight stay after visiting the cave, well-protected from most winds.

Vela Smokova

Eastern coast of Vis

This secluded bay is not only a beautiful anchorage but also home to a submerged WWII B-17 bomber wreck in shallow water. It's a fantastic site for snorkeling or a shallow dive directly from your yacht.

Yacht Recommendations

Recommended yachts for Vis Island.

Specific yachts our team has personally vetted on this cruising ground.

GALEON 640 FLY

Galeon Yachts

The innovative 'beach mode' with fold-out side balconies creates an immense beam and a private connection to the sea, perfect for enjoying Vis's secluded coves. It combines superyacht features in a more nimble package.

SUNREEF 70 POWER

Sunreef Yachts

This power catamaran offers unparalleled stability, volume, and outdoor living space. Its shallow draft allows access to anchorages larger monohulls can't reach, and the flybridge is an entertainer's dream.

CUSTOM LINE NAVETTA 30

Ferretti Group

The Navetta line is built for comfort, elegance, and fuel-efficient cruising. It's the ideal platform for a relaxed, unhurried exploration of the Dalmatian coast, offering silent, stable cruising and immense luxury.

AZIMUT GRANDE 32 METRI

Azimut Yachts

A masterpiece of Italian design, this yacht provides a sophisticated and high-performance platform. Its spacious beach club and multiple outdoor lounges are perfectly suited for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of a Croatian charter.

Local Insider Tips

Insider knowledge for your Vis Island charter.

  • Always have your captain book top restaurants like Roki's, Jastožera, and Senko Karuza at least 48 hours in advance during high season.
  • The best way to experience the iconic Stiniva Cove is by tender in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday crowds.
  • For a true taste of the island, rent vintage convertible cars or scooters to explore the interior roads, vineyards, and military sites.
  • The walk from Vis Town's main Riva to the more gentile and restaurant-filled area of Kut is a beautiful 20-minute seaside stroll.
  • The Green Cave on the island of Ravnik is a great alternative to the Blue Cave; it's less crowded and you can swim inside its emerald waters.
  • Ask your chef to source fresh fish directly from the fishing boats in Komiža in the early morning for the freshest possible lunch.
  • While credit cards are accepted in most restaurants, always have some cash (Euros) on hand for smaller cafes, market stalls, and tips.
  • The afternoon Maestral wind can provide fantastic sailing conditions but can also make west-facing anchorages and quays (like Komiža) choppy.
Team Pick

A personal recommendation from Elena.

Hidden anchorage
Stiniva Bay
Southern coast of Vis
My hidden gem in Vis Island is Stiniva Bay — drop the anchor mid-morning before the day-boats arrive and you'll have it almost to yourself. The ideal time for a Vis Island yacht charter is during the shoulder seasons of late May, June, and September. During these months, you'll find the perfect balance of fantastic weather, warm sea tempe… Always have your captain book top restaurants like Roki's, Jastožera, and Senko Karuza at least 48 hours in advance during high season.

Questions

Vis Island yacht charter FAQs.

How much does a luxury yacht charter in Vis Island cost?+
Weekly rates in Vis Island typically range from €25,000 for a mid-size sailing yacht or catamaran up to €350,000+ for a 50m superyacht. Final cost depends on yacht size, age, season and the inclusion of expenses such as fuel, dockage and provisioning (APA). Blue Ocean Club presents a fully transparent quotation with our 100% best-price guarantee.
What is the best yacht type for Vis Island?+
Motor yachts cover longer distances quickly and suit guests who prioritise interior comfort. Catamarans offer stability, generous deck space and shallow draft access to coves. Classic sailing yachts deliver the most authentic experience. For families and groups of eight or more we frequently recommend a 25–40m motor yacht or large catamaran in Vis Island.
Do I need a sailing licence to charter a yacht in Vis Island?+
No. Every yacht we present is a crewed charter — captain, chef, deckhand and stewardess are included. You arrive, embark, and the crew handles navigation, meals, water toys and concierge logistics.
What is included in a crewed yacht charter?+
The base charter fee covers the yacht itself, the professional crew, their wages, insurance and the use of all standard water toys on board. Fuel, food, beverages, dockage, port taxes and concierge bookings are settled through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) — typically 25–35% of the charter fee — with unused funds returned at the end of the cruise.
When is the best time of year to charter a yacht in Vis Island?+
The prime window in Vis Island runs late May through early October, when the sea is warm, the wind reliable and the coast at its most photogenic. Shoulder months offer excellent value and noticeably quieter anchorages.
Can you arrange a private chef and tailored menus on board in Vis Island?+
Yes. Every crewed yacht we recommend in Vis Island carries a professional chef. We share a detailed preference sheet ahead of your charter — covering dietary requirements, favourite wines, children's menus, dinner-party concepts and shore-side restaurant reservations — so the galley is provisioned to your taste before you step aboard.
How far in advance should I book a yacht in Vis Island?+
For peak weeks (mid-July to late-August in the Mediterranean, Christmas and Easter in the Caribbean) the best yachts are typically reserved 6–9 months ahead. Shoulder-season weeks can be confirmed comfortably 1–3 months out. Our real-time availability feed surfaces last-minute openings as they appear.
Are children welcome on board?+
Absolutely. Many of our crews are highly experienced with families — child-safe netting, paddleboards, sea-bobs, inflatable toys and tailored menus are routinely arranged. We can also organise a dedicated nanny or tutor on request.
What water toys and tenders are typically available in Vis Island?+
Standard inventories include a tender (often 6–9m), seabobs, e-foils, jet-skis, paddleboards, wakeboards, snorkelling gear and inflatable platforms. Larger yachts carry diving equipment, jet-surfs, submarines and full PADI-rated dive teams.
Can you arrange helicopter, jet or private transfers?+
Yes. We routinely arrange door-to-yacht transfers — private jet, helicopter, chauffeured car or marina pick-up — so your party steps from runway to passerelle without friction.
Is gratuity included in the Vis Island charter fee?+
Crew gratuity is customary and discretionary, typically 5–15% of the base charter fee, settled at the end of the cruise in cash or by transfer. We provide clear guidance ahead of disembarkation.
What happens if the weather turns during my Vis Island charter?+
Your captain monitors forecasts continuously and adjusts the itinerary to keep you on calm water and in beautiful anchorages. The cruising plan is always flexible — a charter is a route sketch, not a fixed schedule.
