Yacht charter in Opatija & Kvarner
Private day charters with skipper from Opatija, and sailing yachts from Rijeka with pick-up in Opatija. Cres, Krk and the Kvarner Riviera are right across the bay.
Opatija sits on the Kvarner Bay, with the islands of Cres and Krk in clear view across the water. A motor yacht reaches the first island bays in about half an hour, so even a half day feels like an escape.
Choose a motor yacht from Opatija for speed and comfort, or a Kigo sailing yacht from Rijeka for a slower, classic day under sail. The sailing yachts can pick you up in Opatija.
