As an LGBTQ-owned yacht charter company, we're often asked which destinations feel both welcoming and unforgettable. Croatia checks every box. This is why we highly recommend Croatia to our queer clients. From the lively waterfronts of Split and Dubrovnik to hundreds of secluded islands scattered across the Adriatic Sea, it's a place where luxury, adventure, and authenticity come together beautifully.
Privacy: The Luxury That Carries Every Journey
One of the biggest reasons travelers choose a private yacht charter is simple: Freedom. Theres even a yacht in Croatia with the name! For LGBTQ+ travelers, the comfort of having your own private retreat can be just as valuable as the destination itself.
While Croatia's coastal destinations are welcoming, having your own yacht means you can completely relax, be on your own agenda with your own private chef curating your favorite meals and drink pairings. Your yacht becomes your private floating boutique hotel, your concierge, your private dining experience and a place where you can celebrate, unwind, and enjoy time with the people you love.
Your Yacht. Your Rules.
Every day is customized around what you want to do. Looking for a fun night out? Many of our guests enjoy visiting MILK in Dubrovnik or X Club in Split before returning to the comfort of their private yacht. We also love sharing our favorite LGBTQ+-friendly restaurants, beaches, and hidden local gems that you won't find in a typical tour schedule. Prefer to swim in a secluded cove where the only sounds are the waves? Our captains know the best private spots to enjoy a swim.
There are no lines, no rushing, no large crowds and nobody else's screaming children.
Everything is handled for you on your private yacht charter vacation. Your itinerary is built around what you want, not what a tour operator thinks are the best experiences.
Planning the Ultimate LGBTQ+ Group Trip
Croatia is also one of the only places in the world where you can have more than 12 guests on a private yacht. There are yachts starting at about $25,000/week for 8 guests and even superyachts that hold up to 38 guests on board starting at around 100,000 euro/week which is only about 2,500 per person!
Think theme parties, drag nights, and boatloads of fun aboard with up to 38 of your friends to make memories of a lifetime.
