Visiting the Yachts in Croatia


The much anticipated yacht charter show was recently held in Split, Oct 3-6. The show organizers pulled out all of the stops with a level of organization and professionalism exceeding all expectations by our group of professionally accredited yacht charter brokers for a new event.

The picturesque town of Split sits at the base of Croatia’s grand coastal mountains along the Adriatic Sea.  The Airport is about 40 minutes away, but once you arrive at the waterfront, hotels, shops, and restaurants are at your fingertips. The city's old town set the perfect backdrop for yacht hops, and attendees danced the night away at the stylish opening party.  The dramatic cellars Diocletian's Palace set the stage for the closing gala and well deserved accolades. If you are a fan of Game of Thrones, look for the dragon's lair filmed in the palace cellars. (Luckily there were no dragons there that day.) 


Over 40 yachts were in attendance in wide range sizes, but as always, the best part of any show is meeting the crews. This show did not disappoint and was a huge success.  There were crews from all over the world, but a majority were Croatian who exuded a real joy and passion for their work!

CYBA Accredited Yacht Charter Brokers: Capt. Randy & Shelly Tucker

If you want to experience a luxury yacht charter vacation first hand and up close, there is no better way than on your own privately crewed yacht with a full-time professional Captain and Chef/First Mate. We've been sailing and chartering for well over thirty years.

Captain Randy & Shelly Tucker at Yacht Charters Guru

How We Got Started:

Yacht Charters Guru CYBA Accredited Brokers Captain Randy and Shelly Tucker

The U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands were our "backyard" which we came to love and cherish. So much so, that we sold everything in 1997, became a USCG licensed Captain and moved to Charlotte Amalie, USVI as owners & operators aboard the 72' sailing yacht. We do know the ins and outs of this special place & the people who live there. That's what makes us an official "Yacht Charters Guru”!


Never been on a chartered yacht vacation? We will help you personally design your charter yacht vacation in the Caribbean or Mediterranean! Imagine being able to sail into small bays with beautiful white sands & fantastic snorkeling. A yacht vacation is a great way to spend quality time with your friends or family!


Why use a CYBA Accredited Yacht Charter Broker?


BE SAVVY WITH YOUR YACHT CHARTER CONTRACT!

Is Your Charter Contract Real or Fake?

  • As a member of CYBA, the Charter Yacht Broker’s Association, we adhere to strict yacht charter booking protocols. We have access to the CYBA industry escrow account and E-Contract to protect your money. This is made available by CYBA for electronic use only by established, industry recognized and reputable Yacht Charter Brokers with a verifiable contract number at CYBA.net

  • Charter yacht owners, their hired crews and travel agents do not have access to this account. Check your contract verifcation number at CYBA.net

  • We have time to answer ALL your questions. If the crew are taking care of guests onboard, they honestly do not have time to answer a lot of questions.

  • This is what differentiates professional CYBA yacht charter brokers from anyone else trying to book a charter vacation.

  • Very Important! It is not safe to send your hard-earned money directly to a business or yacht that is not accredited by a professional charter industry association to handle yacht charter client funds. Always ask & verify!


We frequently receive compliments on how we've arranged our site, making it easy to see yachts within your price range. Choose from an extensive list of hand-picked yachts on our site that we have personally chosen to represent, including our spacious and stable catamaran charters, power catamarans, traditional monohull sailboat vacations, or high-end luxury motor yacht charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Croatia. Greece, and the Mediterranean.


Yacht Charters Guru Does Not sell Yachts like many other agencies so there is no conflict or distraction in our focus for your yacht charter. Our service is free to you. We travel extensively to boat shows and yacht charter shows worldwide year-round to personally view and inspect as many of the charter yachts and the crews as possible.
