Introduction
Why charter a yacht in Korcula.
A luxury yacht charter Korcula 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 Korcula 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 Korcula — 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 Korcula 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.

Team Pick
A personal recommendation from Naomi.
Restaurant
Konoba Mate
Pupnat, Korčula
“For a truly authentic taste of Dalmatia, I always recommend our clients book an evening at Konoba Mate. The journey into the island's interior is part of the experience, and their 'peka' is the best in the region. It is an unmissable, genuine culinary highlight away from the coastal crowds.”

Questions
Korcula yacht charter FAQs.
How much does a luxury yacht charter in Korcula cost?+
Weekly rates in Korcula 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 Korcula?+
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 Korcula.
Do I need a sailing licence to charter a yacht in Korcula?+
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 Korcula?+
The prime window in Korcula 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 Korcula?+
Yes. Every crewed yacht we recommend in Korcula 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 Korcula?+
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 Korcula?+
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 Korcula 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 Korcula 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.
