The sun is just beginning to rise as the Freedom of Croatia pulls away from port and the sleeping town of Split. Standing on the ship’s top deck, I watch the sun’s rays reflected in the clear turquoise waters. Within minutes, we’re cruising along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast.

Croatia has more than 1,200 islands, and one of the best ways to see them is on a private charter yacht cruise. This week, a group of friends and I are doing just that on the Freedom of Croatia, a 50-meter yacht with 19 cabins. The yacht is operated by Goolets, a leading agency for crewed charter yachts in Croatia.
