Why charter a yacht in ACI Marina Split?
ACI Marina Split operates as a charter base in Split, Croatia, and is a useful starting point for motor yacht cruising in the region. The Dalmatian coast combines 1,246 islands with a 1,777-kilometre mainland shore. Short hops between islands — rarely more than 20 nautical miles — and a dense network of sheltered bays keep most days comfortable. Common stops include Hvar Town, Brač, Šolta, Vis, the Pakleni Islands and Trogir.
This page covers what to expect from a motor yacht charter departing ACI Marina Split — technical fit, typical routes, pricing, the season guide, and a sample one-week plan. To compare current availability and pricing across the fleet, use the Boat4You search.
Why a Motor Yacht from ACI Marina Split
Motor yachts cover more ground than sailing yachts, offer enclosed saloons, and work well on schedule-dependent itineraries. Well suited to families, couples planning a specific route, and guests sensitive to weather. Reach, comfort in marginal weather, fixed-itinerary delivery is the main reason charterers pick this platform for Croatia's cruising grounds.
Typical motor yacht charters from ACI Marina Split run 40 to 65 feet, three to four cabins, priced at roughly 3,500 to 14,000 euro per week depending on size and age. Bareboat usually requires a recognised motor-yacht licence and VHF certificate. Skippered rates similar to sailing yachts. The berthing configuration at ACI Marina Split handles motor yachts without issue — allow enough turning room in the basin on busy Saturday turnarounds.
Fit for the local cruising area
The Maestral blows steadily from the northwest on summer afternoons (10–18 knots), fading by sunset. Early-season and late-season weeks sometimes see the Bura descending from the mainland — plan a sheltered berth when forecast. Motor yachts work particularly well when daily passages stay under 25 nautical miles, which matches most Split region-area itineraries.
Fleet layout
Most motor yachts in the ACI Marina Split fleet carry four cabins and four heads, with saloon and galley on the main deck. Newer builds include air-conditioning, inverter-fed lighting, and solar panels sized to cover base electrical load. Check the individual boat listings on the search page for specifications.
Routes from ACI Marina Split
Common stops include Hvar Town, Brač, Šolta, Vis, the Pakleni Islands and Trogir. Short early-morning hops and long afternoon anchorages are the rule rather than the exception — motor yacht cruising in this region generally favours staying in sheltered water during the windiest hours.

Technical considerations
Motor yachts at ACI Marina Split handle the region's conditions well when properly prepared. Check reefing points, engine hours, and safety gear during the check-in briefing — marinas in Croatia run careful handover procedures and the briefing is the right moment to raise questions.
Anchoring and berthing
Anchor tackle on charter motor yachts is generally sized adequately for Croatia's typical bay depths (6–15 metres). Med-mooring stern-to is standard in marinas; the briefing at ACI Marina Split covers the local conventions.
Provisioning and logistics
ACI Marina Split sits within reasonable range of supermarkets and fresh markets. Plan a provisioning run for the first evening rather than day zero — the fleet turnaround day is not the moment to load the galley.
Pricing and what to expect
Weekly pricing for motor yachts from ACI Marina Split runs roughly 3,500 to 14,000 euro per week depending on size and age. Add roughly 10–20% for extras: transit log or tourist tax (country-dependent), fuel, provisioning, end-cleaning, final kitty for skipper/hostess if aboard. Tenders and outboards are usually included; premium extras (SUPs, diving gear, coffee machine) may carry supplements.
Last-minute bookings within four weeks of departure sometimes drop 15–25% below brochure — availability on the Boat4You search updates live as holds release.
Best time to charter
Peak demand runs mid-June through August, with charter rates falling 25–40% in May and September. Water stays swimmable into early October in most years. The Maestral blows steadily from the northwest on summer afternoons (10–18 knots), fading by sunset. Early-season and late-season weeks sometimes see the Bura descending from the mainland — plan a sheltered berth when forecast.
Peak season
July and August see the highest demand, highest pricing, and the fullest marinas. Book 4–6 months ahead for the best fleet selection.
Shoulder months
May, June and September deliver near-summer weather at lower pricing — often 25–35% off peak rates — and lighter pressure on popular anchorages.
Sample 7-day itinerary from ACI Marina Split
Day 1 — Departure and Hvar Town
Embark after midday, provision, and sail or motor the first short leg to Hvar Town. Evening dinner aboard or ashore at a family-run restaurant.
Day 2 — Brač
Morning departure, mid-day anchor stop for swimming, and evening mooring at Brač. Explore the old town on foot.
Day 3 — Šolta
A longer passage today — roughly 20–30 nautical miles depending on wind and conditions. Arrive mid-afternoon, drop anchor in a protected bay, and enjoy an early swim.
Day 4 — Vis
Short hop followed by a long lunch at anchor. Dinner at a local taverna if the harbour offers good options.
Day 5 — Return leg
Begin the return voyage with a lunch stop at a favourite anchorage. Aim for a marina or well-protected bay within a short distance of base.
Day 6 — Final exploration
Use the final full day for a highlight the group missed — a wine tour ashore, a hike to a viewpoint, or a long swim stop.
Day 7 — Return to base
Short morning passage, fuel top-up, clean-up, and formal disembarkation before noon.
Local food and culture
Expect peka (slow-cooked lamb or octopus under an iron bell), gregada (Adriatic fish stew), local Pošip and Plavac Mali wines, and konobas (family taverns) on nearly every islanded harbour. Meals aboard tend to work well for breakfast and lunch; evenings ashore deliver the local character — ask marina staff for current recommendations rather than relying on online ratings alone.
