A 50 to 60m motor yacht the Kornati through the 2026 peak window (mid-July through end of August) runs $345,000 to $530,000 per week plus 26 to 28 percent APA, takes 10 to 12 guests on the 6-cabin standard, and carries 14 to 17 crew. The Kornati is the northern Dalmatian archipelago of 89 islands and the routing's quiet alternative to the Split-Hvar-Korcula central corridor. The structural 50 to 60m allocation runs through ACI Marina Piskera on the southern Piskera face on prior park-concession agreement for the bracket-fit park-zone overnight (the only marina inside the park boundary), the Levrnaka western mooring field on the park-installed buoy on supplementary park-concession daylight, and the Telascica northern face on the structural outside-Kornati nature-park overnight. The structural embarkation runs ACI Marina Sibenik 22 nautical miles south of the park or Marina Dalmacija Zadar 12 nautical miles north, with the Zadar airport (ZAD) and the Split airport (SPU) on the fixed-wing arrival. Roughly 3 to 5 yachts in this LOA work the Kornati park corridor through a typical August week, the lightest 50 to 60m concentration in the central-northern Adriatic because the park-concession overnight and the absence of any town-base inside the boundary limit the bracket-fit rotation.
Why the bracket works the Kornati
ACI Marina Piskera as the structural park-zone overnight. ACI Marina Piskera on the southern Piskera face holds the 12-berth harbour inside the Kornati National Park boundary, with the structural 50 to 60m allocation reading through the outer-mole T-pier on prior ACI central reservation and the park-concession agency notification. Piskera runs the bracket-fit park-zone overnight on the only commercial-marina infrastructure inside the boundary, with the Piskera supplementary konoba (the working-marina restaurant on the marina side) on the chief stew's prior reservation. The 2018-and-newer park-ranger enforcement runs harder annually and the bracket-fit overnight reads through the written park-concession confirmation at the contract stage.
The Levrnaka and Smokvica mooring sequence. The Levrnaka western mooring field on the park-installed buoy holds the structural bracket-fit daylight call and the supplementary overnight on prior park-concession agency notification, with the Levrnaka konoba (the structural park-side family-run tasting bench on the eastern Levrnaka face) on the chief stew's prior reservation. The Smokvica central mooring on the structural park-installed buoy holds the supplementary lunch anchor on the calm-water leeward face. The Mana cliffs on the western park face hold the structural late-afternoon shore-cliff approach on the daylight programme, and the bracket-fit Mana shore call reads through the daylight window on the captain's prior agency check.
Telascica nature park as the outside-Kornati overnight. The Telascica nature park on the Dugi Otok southeastern face (a separate Croatian protected area with its own concession structure) holds the structural 50 to 60m bracket-fit overnight on the Telascica Mir lake outer anchor on prior Telascica agency notification, with the structural saltwater Mir lake daylight tender-shore programme and the Dugi Otok western cliff daylight call. The Telascica overnight reads through the protected double-bay anchor on the leeward face of the prevailing maestral, and the supplementary bora-event northern crossing through the Vir-channel runs the at-anchor load on the Telascica protected face. The Telascica nature park is the bracket's structural outside-Kornati fallback in the bora window.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 season
Rates below are for peak weeks (mid-July through end of August) for the 2026 Croatian charter season, before APA at 27 percent and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The Croatian PDV at 13 percent on the charter fee, the Kornati National Park per-day per-yacht concession (the per-day-per-passenger entrance fee plus the Piskera marina line allocation, the bracket's structural park-zone cost line), the Telascica nature park concession, the ACI Marina Sibenik or Marina Dalmacija Zadar embarkation berth fees, and the structural offshore-week provisioning load through the Sibenik or Zadar central market run through the APA.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht and large sailing tri (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 to 53m | $345K to $410K per week | $305K to $365K per week |
| 53 to 57m | $390K to $470K per week | $345K to $415K per week |
| 57 to 60m | $450K to $530K per week | $400K to $475K per week |
The 50 to 60m Kornati bracket prices 3 to 5 percent below the 50 to 60m Hvar at the same LOA because the park-zone overnight structure runs harder on the operational handling (the park-installed buoy and the per-day concession fee schedule) and the absence of a central social anchor reduces the August peak structural pull. For corridor context see the 50-60m Croatia bracket, the 50-60m Split bracket, the 50-60m Hvar bracket, the 50-60m Vis bracket, and the 40-50m Kornati bracket for the smaller LOA shoulder.
What you actually get in this bracket in the Kornati
Cabins. Six standard. The 6-cabin August week reads through the Sibenik-Kornati-Telascica northern Dalmatian shape with two to three nights at the Kornati park boundary on the Piskera marina or the Levrnaka mooring, one to two nights at Telascica nature park on the Mir lake outside-park anchor, and the structural Sibenik or Zadar opener.
Crew. Fourteen to seventeen. Croatian and Maltese-flag charter list dominates the northern Dalmatian fleet at the bracket. The captain plus chief stew hold the Croatian-language operational fluency on the Kornati National Park park-concession agency, the Piskera marina ACI portmaster, the Telascica nature park concession, and the offshore-week provisioning calendar through the Sibenik or Zadar central market. The chief stew's prior bench on Piskera marina konoba, Levrnaka konoba (the bracket-fit park-side family-run tasting bench), Smokvica konoba, and the Sibenik shore-side Pelegrini (Michelin one-star on the central Old Town) and Konoba Nostromo Sibenik reservations is the structural broker-side question at inquiry.
Tenders. Primary 11 to 12m for the Piskera marina shore brief and the Levrnaka konoba tender-shore lunch run, secondary 7 to 8m beach-landing for the Mana cliff approach and the Telascica Mir lake shore tender, plus a chase boat for the park-concession daylight rotation and the Smokvica-to-Mana lateral shuttle. The Kornati tender programme runs the structural park-installed-buoy-bound daylight rhythm hard at the bracket.
At-anchor stabilizers. Required. The Levrnaka mooring buoy (the bracket-fit overnight position with the structural calm-water leeward swing on the western face) and the Telascica nature park outer anchor (the structural outside-Kornati overnight on the Mir lake protected double-bay) run the at-anchor stabilizers through the August maestral swing window. The supplementary bora event through the Velebit-channel funnel reads through the Telascica protected face, and the 2018-and-newer hulls run the structural zero-speed product at the bracket.
Beach club. Required. The Piskera marina, the Levrnaka, the Smokvica, the Mana cliff approach, and the Telascica Mir lake anchors run the beach club open hard through the structural August water band of 23 to 26 degrees, and the fold-out terraces run the daylight platform load through the bracket-fit park-concession programme.
Helipad. Cat A useful. The Split airport (SPU) 55 nautical mile transit holds the structural 20 to 25-minute helicopter leg to the Sibenik or the Piskera heliports on the prior CCAA permit and the National Park park-agency air-traffic notification. The Zadar airport (ZAD) 30 nautical mile transit runs the structural 12 to 15-minute alternative leg. The bracket-fit Kornati operation runs the Cat A standard through the SPU or ZAD proximity, and the captain's prior park-agency air-traffic notification on the daylight-window slot inside the park boundary holds the bracket-fit operation.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The Kornati bracket reads through the Sibenik-Kornati-Telascica seven-night northern Dalmatian shape and the Kornati-Hvar ten-night two-half shape. The 7-night northern Dalmatian shape runs Sibenik ACI Marina embarkation (one night with Pelegrini dinner), Skradin on the Krka river daylight (river-only access for the smaller fleet, the 50 to 60m bracket reads through the Skradin daylight from the Zlarin anchor), Zlarin one night, Kornati park three nights split Piskera, Levrnaka, and Smokvica, Telascica one night, return Sibenik. Seven nights. The Kornati shape suits the structural northern Dalmatian quiet-week rotation as the closing northern base.
For the 10-night Kornati-Hvar two-half shape the bracket runs Sibenik (one night) plus Kornati park four nights with three Piskera marina overnights and one Levrnaka mooring plus Telascica one night plus Solta one night plus Hvar Palmizana two nights plus Brac Bol one night, disembark Split. Ten nights one-way. For destination context see Charter Kornati, Charter Croatia, and the Croatia charter weekly rates report.
What the bracket does not do well in the Kornati
The Kornati park-zone overnight without the written concession standing. The Kornati National Park concession reads through the park agency on a per-day per-yacht fee schedule plus the Piskera marina ACI berth booking and the Levrnaka mooring-buoy reservation, and the free-anchor inside the park boundary is not permitted at the bracket. We would pass on any captain's plan that books a Kornati park-zone overnight without the written park-concession agency confirmation, the per-day fee schedule, and the Piskera or Levrnaka booking slip at the contract stage.
The Kornati as a social anchor at the bracket. The park has no towns, the konobas are small family-run benches at the marina or the mooring, and the social density is the routing's lowest in Croatia. A client expecting the Hvar Town Carpe Diem pattern will read the Kornati as too quiet. We would pass on any pitch that frames the Kornati as a social week at the 50 to 60m line and hold the Sibenik or Hvar Town pairing instead.
The Telascica Mir lake overnight at the upper end of the bracket in the bora event. The Telascica double-bay holds the structural protected anchor on the leeward face of the prevailing maestral, but the bora-funnel event through the Velebit channel north of the archipelago can drive the Mir lake outer anchor swing-radius tight at the 57 to 60m line. We would pass on any 57m-plus unit booked for the Telascica overnight without the written bora-window alternative anchor positioned at the Sibenik or Zadar shore base.
