Renting a catamaran in Croatia is the default choice for a group and the reason Croatian charter looks more expensive than its headline suggests. The published entry figures on this coast are small monohulls; the boat most parties actually want has two hulls, four cabins and a berthing bill to match.
What it costs
Sailing Holidays in Croatia publishes 4.000 to 6.000 EUR a week for four and five cabin bareboats, which is the band most bareboat catamarans fall into, against about 2.000 EUR for a small monohull. For crewed, the same source publishes an average of 10.000 EUR a week for a crewed catamaran, the only published crewed-catamaran figure in this record. The Moorings' Croatian range of $1,885 to $36,020 covers both hull types together.
Berthing is the hidden difference
Croatian marinas charge for the space a boat occupies and a catamaran takes roughly two monohull berths. On a week with several town quay nights at Hvar, Korcula and Trogir, that is a real recurring line. Sailing Holidays in Croatia publishes marina and port fees at an average of 450 EUR a week, and a catamaran sits at the upper end of that average rather than the middle.
Why the group maths still works
Four cabins with doors and their own heads, a cockpit that seats eight and a boat that stays flat while lunch happens. For six or eight people that is usually cheaper per head than chartering two monohulls and a great deal more sociable. For two people it is a large boat to berth stern-to in a crosswind for very little benefit.
