Brac is the longest island in central Dalmatia and is a famous spot for yacht charterers visiting Croatia. Just off the mainland, it offers safe anchorages and beautiful island cruising. Brac is known for its olive groves, vineyards, stunning beaches, and the famous white limestone used in landmarks across the region. Rising above it all is Vidova Gora, the highest peak on any Adriatic island, giving visitors incredible views of the sea and nearby islands.

Brac makes yacht chartering smooth and scenic. Milna is the go-to harbor for a reason. It's sheltered, peaceful, and has excellent berthing facilities. The village itself grew around seafaring and still carries that energy today. Supetar, on the northern side, has a different vibe. It’s busier, perfect if you’re looking for a bit of town life. Alongside its ferry port, you’ll find local konobas, cafés, and plenty of walking space along the seafront. One standout stop is the 18th-century parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It's framed by the Leroj bell tower and an elegant museum filled with religious art and island artifacts. Inland from both ports, you can tour olive mills, cycle through rural hamlets, or settle in for a long seafood lunch under the vines.

Water lovers tend to anchor around Zlatni Rat near Bol. The beach bends out into the sea in a sharp golden tongue, shifting slightly with the currents. One side is great for windsurfing and parasailing. The other is calm enough for kayaking, snorkeling, and just floating in the sun. If you’re after something quieter, head to Lovrecina Beach. It’s sandy, low-key, and usually not too busy. Not far from there, on the southern cliffs, sits a strange and fascinating relic: the island’s abandoned WWII submarine pen. Cut directly into the limestone, it’s accessible by tender or paddleboard and makes for an unforgettable swim-through stop.

Vidova Gora deserves a mention of its own. Reaching the top is straightforward whether you hike, bike, or drive. The views are absolutely wide open. You can look down on Zlatni Rat, across to Hvar, and out toward the open sea. On a clear day, the horizon seems to stretch on forever. Locals say it's the best place to understand the shape and size of the islands.

The Venetians left their mark across Brac, especially in the coastal architecture. You'll notice arched windows, carved balconies, and public squares built from the same white stone that defines the island. This limestone, known simply as Brac stone, has traveled far. It was used in the construction of Diocletian’s Palace in Split and is often said to have been used in the White House in Washington. Pučišća, one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia, is the heart of this legacy. This stoneworking village is still active today, home to a stonemasonry school and surrounded by quarries that have been worked for centuries. Just as important as stone is the olive. Olive farming holds deep cultural and economic significance in Croatia. Today, the olive oil from Brac, especially the rare Buhavica variety, is a point of pride.

With reliable harbors, rich island culture, and striking coastal geography, Brac is a natural choice for Croatia yacht charters. View all the available luxury yacht charters on the Dalmatian coast.
