Corporate yachting in Split.

Corporate yachting in Split begins at the walls of Diocletian's Palace, where ACI Marina Split sits a ten-minute walk from the 4th-century UNESCO site. It is a rare Mediterranean situation where history and infrastructure touch literally — a client can run a morning briefing in a café on the medieval peristyle and set sail straight after lunch.

Split is the gateway to the Pakleni archipelago: 16 islands and dozens of hidden coves within a 4 to 6 nautical mile radius. For a flotilla of 8 to 12 yachts that gives an ideal route density with short passages and a wide choice of overnight anchorages. The Mrduja regatta, running since 1927, makes Split one of the most historically rich sailing centres on the Adriatic.

SPU airport is 40 minutes from the marina, with direct flights from London, Zurich, Paris, Frankfurt and Stockholm. English is at level 4 of 5 with every skipper and marina officer. A baseline range of €400 to €650 per person per night makes Split the most accessible of the Mediterranean's premium locations.

What you can run

6 formats for different goals.

Of the six formats our portal supports, Split offers:

Corporate regatta

Cruise and offsite

Team building on the water

Strategy offsite

Incentive trip

Client event

For a procurement team, Split offers a rare combination: marina fees are standardised by the national ACI association and published every year, which makes the budget predictable. In addition, our contract with two local destination management companies (Adriatic Charter Group and Spalato Yachts) fixes transfer costs 12 months ahead.

The gastronomy programme in Split runs at three tiers: family-run Dalmatian taverns in the historic centre (€40 to €60 per person), premium restaurants with modern Mediterranean cuisine such as Bokeria and Šug (€80 to €120 per person), and a VVIP format in private villas on Šolta and Brač with a chef from Michelin kitchens (from €250 per person).

From the field

What clients say.

Three quotes from closed corporate programmes over the last two seasons. Names and companies withheld under NDA.

Split gave us a rare blend of history and operational maturity. The regatta ran like a software release, and the closing dinner on the peristyle of Diocletian's Palace became the hero visual of our annual report.

Logistics from SPU airport to the marina were so well tuned that none of the 60 participants noticed the moment we put to sea. The best offsite of the last five years.

FAQ

What buyers ask us most.

Eight questions we receive every week from HR directors and CEOs. Not finding yours? Drop us a line — we reply within 24 hours.

How many yachts can berth in ACI Marina Split at once?
The marina has 318 berths; for corporate programmes we reserve up to 20 yachts at once. At the July to August peak, booking needs at least six months; in the shoulder season (May and September) eight to ten weeks is enough.
What does a typical programme route from Split look like?
Day 1: Split to Šolta (Stomorska), overnight at anchor. Day 2: Šolta to Hvar (Palmižana). Day 3: a regatta around the Pakleni Islands. Day 4: Hvar to Brač (Bol). Day 5: Brač back to Split and a closing dinner in Diocletian's Palace.
Are there Russian-speaking skippers in Split?
Yes — around 30 % of our partners' skippers speak conversational Russian, a legacy of the Yugoslav sailing school. For a Russian-speaking programme we arrange a dedicated skipper; we note the requirement in the brief in advance.
How much does branding in Split cost?
A branded mainsail is €1,800 per yacht and a jib is €1,200, produced in three weeks at the Maritime Tailor loft in Pula. Flags, dock banners and photo points with logos are a separate package of €4,000 to €8,000 depending on scale.
Is there an alternative to berthing inside ACI Marina Split?
Yes: Marina Kaštela (15 minutes west), Marina Trogir (20 minutes west) and Marina Punat on the island of Krk for programmes calling at northern Dalmatia. For a flotilla of 15-plus yachts we usually split the berthing between ACI Split and Marina Kaštela.
