A Catamaran or a Hotel?

The price for 7 days for a family with one kid and two meals will be around 3,025 EUR exclusive of the flight cost. This sum will secure you a spacious 4-cabin Oceanis 45 yacht. Moreover, if you have a two-family vacation, the cost will be comparable with catamaran charter in Croatia.

The hotel room price normally comes at a baseline rate, while many services have to be paid for additionally. Also, breakfasts and dinners are served in a shared area, which offers a sea view yet is bustling and noisy. The yacht chef provides you personalized service, just like in a fine dining restaurant.

All big catamarans have a spacious mess deck/saloon, and some also boast a second level (flybridge), nets, the deck and cabins...double extension beds, closet storage, electric outlets, and air conditioners. All cabins are complete with a shower. This does not sound like a tiny cramped space, right?

A swimming pool with sea water and the front sea coastline are undoubtedly pleasant features found in a 5-star hotel. But what if the sea was not 10 rocky (Dubrovnik offers only pebble beaches) meters away, but only 1 meter if you are already on the deck? Swimming stops are possible in the most beautiful bays one can dream of.

Yes, you cannot bring a spa center with you on board, but the choice is down to what you really wish to get from your holiday — massages and deck chairs or new impressions and unusual places accessible from the yacht only.

At the hotel, you are confined to one schedule effective for the entire season, and to go on a tour you will have to leave the hotel's premises. By comparison, yachting gives you the possibility to have an active and sportive vacation, while spending every new day in a new place.
