A sailing holiday in Croatia has it all, history, culture, great food, amazing islands and bays with tranquil waters waiting to be swam in and let us not forget the fantastic protected sailing conditions ideal for beginners and experienced sailors a like on a range of yacht charters from Croatia.

Modern marinas and traditional harbours sit side by side in Croatia with ancient castles lining the entrances to dozens of picturesque local ports. Thousands of islands form protected archipelagos rivalling anywhere else in the med.

As sailing holidays in Croatia grow in popularity the list of yachts available to charter is growing offering more and more variety. The areas below are the main sailing holiday and yacht charter destinations in Croatia, but if you have somewhere else in mind just ask us, we’re likely to have something available for your specifications.

Pula

Deserted islands and bustling market towns in rocky hidden harbours welcome sailors on a sailing holiday in this part of Northern Croatia. There’s potential for some longer sailing passages between the more isolated islands for those looking to stretch their sea legs and gain some miles on their yacht charter. While weaving through the islands keep an eye out for the Griffon Vulture, which is the largest bird in Europe.

Split/Kremik/Zadar/Biograd

The Kornati archipelago is a fantastic place to explore deserted coves and caves in isolated harbours, islands and bays. With plenty of protection for families, novice sailors and people who simply want to have a nice relaxing holiday, sailing in the Middle of Croatia is simply bliss.

Dubrovnik

The city of Dubrovnik itself is a wonderful place to visit and explore. This ancient city is brimming with Renaissance, Gothic and Barque architecture, history and culture. Between the beginning of July and the end of August Dubrovnik hosts the oldest Cultural festival in Croatia, timing your sailing holiday to coincide with this event will really add to your trip. More information about the festival can be found here: www.dubrovnik-festival.hr/
