KORNATI

What KORNATI does

Kornati Yachting d.o.o. is a Croatian private limited liability company headquartered in Biograd na Moru, operating a yacht charter business focused on the Kornati and Krka National Parks region of the central Adriatic. The company was founded with the 2016 acquisition of the motor yacht "Laura" and expanded in 2017 with the addition of "Laura III"; both vessels are Mirakul 30 models (9.90 m) built by Grginić Yachts, one in HT (Hard Top) configuration and one in Sport SE trim. Service offerings comprise multi-day (primarily weekly) bareboat yacht charter, optional skipper services, and ancillary marine services including underwater hull cleaning/maintenance and off-season boat cleaning and upkeep. Pricing is published per week, ranging from approximately €2,000 in shoulder periods to €3,300 at peak season (late June through late August), with both vessels sharing broadly similar rate cards differentiated by trim level.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and asset-based: revenue is generated primarily through weekly charter fees on two owned vessels, supplemented by skipper fees and ancillary marine services that can be sold to third-party boat owners. Distribution is conducted via a multilingual company website (Croatian, English, German) and physical presence at regional nautical events such as the Biograd Boat Show; there are no disclosed agency partnerships, no investor base, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Navigation equipment on board consists of standard marine electronics (SIMRAD GO7 chartplotter/sounder), and the company uses Google Analytics for web traffic measurement, with no disclosed AI, machine-learning, or proprietary technology components.

The customer base consists of international leisure tourists — predominantly from DACH-region and English-speaking European source markets — seeking self-piloted or skippered cruising access to the Kornati archipelago and Krka National Park. Revenue is highly seasonal, concentrated in a roughly 20–26 week charter season spanning late spring through early autumn, with off-season demand supported by maintenance and underwater works on third-party vessels. No disclosed financial statements, funding history, or contracted enterprise customers are present in the available data.

Revenue model

1. Boat Charter Services: The primary revenue stream is multi-day motor yacht charter rentals in the Croatian Adriatic. Vessels are offered with or without professional skipper services. The standard charter period is 7 days (Saturday to Saturday) during peak season, with shorter periods available in pre- and post-season. Revenue is generated through weekly rental fees, with pricing varying by vessel, season, and optional add-on services.
2. Skipper Services: Professional skipper services are offered as an add-on for customers without the required licenses or experience. Skipper services are charged separately at 120-150 EUR per day, plus meals. This represents an additional revenue stream on top of base charter fees.
3. Boat Cleaning and Maintenance Services: Out-of-season, the company provides boat cleaning and maintenance services to boat owners or rental companies. This includes complete boat cleaning and year-round dry berth maintenance.
4. Underwater Works: The company offers underwater services including vessel inspection, underwater cleaning (water jet), retrieval of sunken objects, and repair of damaged ships.
5. Ancillary Equipment Rental: Additional revenue from optional equipment rentals including dinghy (100 EUR/week), outboard engine (100 EUR/week), wakeboard (50 EUR/week), water skis (50 EUR/week), and tube rentals (50 EUR/week).
