Croatia by private jet charter
In the summer months, our private jet flights to the coastal regions of southern Europe see a huge increase. The Adriatic is no exception and Croatia in particular now sees a strong demand for private jet movements during the summer peak.
We arrange business aviation and leisure flights to Croatia all year, but it is in summer that travellers fans flock to the region, including yachting fans and others keen to enjoy the country’s exceptional beauty.

Private jet travel to Croatia
Cities and culture
Croatia is famous for its historical heritage. The old town of Dubrovnik and the historical centres of Split, Trogir and Sibenik feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The country is rich in famous buildings: Diocletian's Palace in Split; the Roman city of Trogir; and the Saint-Jacques Cathedral of Sibenik to name a few. Croatia is the ideal destination for fans of architecture.
And when it comes to nature, the mild climate and national parks make it a destination of choice for holidays and relaxation.
Yachting and sailing
Croatia has a long coastline of 1700km and more than 1,000 offshore islands which can be reached by boat. Secluded bays, beaches and pretty Adriatic ports offer sailing trips, cruises, and attract many luxury yachts and superyachts.
Split is the most popular destination for cruise departures, with Dalmatia, Istria, Kvarner and Plitvice Lakes the most popular for yachts.
Some of our clients like to combine a private jet charter, with a helicopter transfer, for the fastest way to connect with their chartered yacht. See more: Yachting and sailing by private jet
Natural parks
The country has 8 large and diverse national parks. The national parks of Brijuni and Kornati, beside the sea, are magnificent wild archipelagos surrounded by clear water.
Paklenica, Velebit and Risnjak are more mountainous and well-preserved, recommended for lovers of hiking and climbing.
Finally, Krka and Plitvice are regarded as the most beautiful parks in the region, with waterfalls surrounded by lush vegetation.
Private jets to Croatia
Croatia is situated adjacent to Italy, bordering the Adriatic Sea. It is easily accessible to private jet travellers visiting from elsewhere in Europe - or worldwide.
For private jet flights to Croatia from within Europe, light jets such as the Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 - selected aircraft for the PrivateFly Light Jet Card Plus programme - are a comfortable and economic choice for a smaller group.
Those requiring a more spacious private cabin experience may prefer aircraft such as the Challenger 350 or Citation Latitude, both included in our Super-Midsize Jet Card selection.
Or for those looking for a large cabin experience when flying to Croatia by private jet, our Heavy Jet Card selection includes the Challenger 600 and Legacy 600.
