Croatia Yacht Club

What Croatia Yacht Club does

Croatia Yacht Club is a privately held yacht charter broker that arranges sailing holidays in Croatian waters for the Swedish-speaking market. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, the company operates a Swedish-language direct-to-consumer booking platform (croatiayachtclub.se) backed by an iOS mobile app, phone-based customer support, and a referral program. Its Croatian operational footprint spans Split, Marina Pirovac, ACI Marina Trogir, and Marina Mandalina in Šibenik, covering six Adriatic sailing regions (Dubrovnik, Istria, Kvarner, Šibenik, Split, Zadar) and access to more than 1,000 islands.

The product set centers on three charter types — bareboat, skippered, and by-the-cabin — across more than ten boat categories (sailboats, catamarans, motor yachts, gulets, jet skis, power catamarans, RIBs, motorboats, motorsailers, and luxury variants). Weekly charter prices range from approximately 33,000 SEK for an Elan E6 to roughly 290,000 SEK for a Lagoon Sixty 5 or Sunseeker Manhattan 73, with active discounts of 20%–68% on the homepage. The booking platform is powered by the Nausys charter management system with supplemental integration to SamBoat, and the website and front-end were built by GOIGO.

Revenue is generated primarily from one-time charter bookings, with ancillary lines from sailing courses, corporate and group trips, short-term rentals, and a boat purchase / investment program. The company does not disclose revenue, funding, or ownership details, and the management team is not listed in the available source material. Marketing is organic and digital-first, combining website content, Instagram, Facebook, email newsletter, brochure, and iOS app channels aimed at Swedish outbound leisure travelers.
