Euronautic Yacht Charter

What Euronautic Yacht Charter does

Euronautic Yacht Charter (legal name EURONAUTIC d.o.o. za trgovinu i usluge, turistička agencija) is a privately held Croatian yacht charter broker and boat management company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Biograd na Moru on the Dalmatian coast. The company operates a fleet of 100+ vessels — sailing yachts, motorboats, and catamarans — available for weekly and multi-week charter, primarily serving vacationers seeking bareboat or crewed sailing holidays along the Croatian Adriatic. It also serves boat owners through its SIMPLE and CLASSIC charter management programs, which place owner vessels into the charter fleet and handle maintenance, marketing, and bookings on the owner's behalf.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: customers browse the fleet and submit inquiries through euronautic.eu (available in English, Croatian, and German), with bookings confirmed via email ([email protected]), phone (+385 23 385 205), or in-person at the marina bases. Two operational bases — Marina Kornati Biograd and Marina Pirovac — provide on-the-ground service, with Marina Pirovac offering safe harbor for approximately 200 boats. Pricing is per-charter-week and spans roughly €728 for entry-level sailing yachts to €18,492 for premium flybridge yachts, with base costs of €260–€500, deposits of €1,500–€3,000, and optional extras such as outboard engine, SUP, towels, and deposit insurance (~12% of deposit). The underlying technology stack is light: NauSYS boat management system (third-party SaaS, Premium Partner certification) for fleet operations, plus an online platform with real-time availability; there is no public API, no mobile app, and no proprietary AI/data systems.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) charter rentals of sailing yachts, motorboats, and catamarans; (2) managed charter programs (SIMPLE and CLASSIC) for boat owners; (3) brokerage for new and used boat transactions across manufacturers including Beneteau, Bavaria, Bali, Elan, Hanse, Jeanneau, and Dufour; and (4) ancillary yacht services such as skipper rental, Mediterranean-wide boat transfers, cleaning, and yacht management. The company operates as a licensed Croatian travel agency under the supervision of the Tourist Inspection of the Ministry of Tourism. Director Katarina Vujević Babara is the listed manager; the firm is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external venture or private equity investment.
