Online boat registration Croatia – Info service: This page is for information purposes only. The tourist tax can only be booked via the website of the Ministry of Tourism HERE, no longer via Online Boat Booking Croatia.

Overview / information on tourist tax for boats / yachts: If you stay overnight on board a boat or yacht over 7.00 metres in length, you must pay tourist tax in Croatia (Croatian residence tax).

The fee is charged at a flat rate for the boat / yacht and the period. It does not matter how many people are staying on board the vessel. The tourist tax boat (sojourn tax) is calculated according to the length of the boat and duration (number of days).

Visitor’s tax, accommodation fee new since 2022:

Since 2020, the visitor’s tax / sojourn tax / tourism tax can also be paid per person and exact number of days on board. However, this is very time-consuming due to the large amount of personal data required. But this method can also be cheaper, depending on the length of the boat.

A comparison is worthwhile. If you would like to use the tourist tax per person per day, you can do so online here. Incidentally, people with a disability of over 70% are exempt from paying the visitor’s tax. The same applies to a carer. The degree of disability must be proven with an international document, at least in English.

Flat-rate declaration: Periods can also be added together in 2024 if the next longer period would be too long. So if you stay for 3 weeks -> 21 days, you can book the tourist tax boat / residence tax / residence tax Croatia for 15 days + 8 days instead of 30 days. In some constellations, this can save you a few euros in your holiday budget. Simply book your Croatian residence tax and boat online now.

Tourist tax also for overnight stays in an apartment, hotel or on a campsite? No! The tourist tax / residence tax in Croatia only has to be paid once and not at 2 places of accommodation. However, it must be paid where you actually stay overnight. So if you have booked an apartment, you only pay for the actual overnight stays there. Overnight stays on board must be paid separately.


Tourist tax Croatia

The tourist tax for an apartment, hotel or a pitch on the many campsites is charged and collected per person by the landlord or campsite operator. Since 2021, the tourist tax, also known as sojourn tax, for overnight stays on board can be registered directly with the Ministry of Tourism.

If you spontaneously decide to stay overnight on board, you can also apply for your tourist tax online from the first day. We will simply register your boat for you within 24 hours (if it was already registered in Croatia with the same data) (permit, formerly Vinjeta/Vignette – online boat registration Croatia). Please contact us in advance to guarantee fast processing (online direct payment and transmission of boat documents).

The visitor’s tax benefits tourism. The earmarked tax is used to finance projects such as tourist infrastructure, exhibitions and traditional sights or museums. The tourist areas are categorised according to their location. For example, the tourist tax is higher in the immediate coastal areas than in the more remote areas. In rural destinations, it is charged per person and for the duration of the stay.

Children and students are exempt from the tourist tax in many areas. For owner-operated boats and yachts, the tourist tax is calculated as a flat rate according to the length of the boat and the length of stay and, since 2020, according to direct notification per person on board. In the yacht charter sector, the tourist tax is also calculated in the same way as for a stay on land. The amount of tourist tax for a charter yacht is equivalent to a hotel in a coastal location. It is charged and paid by the charter company.
