Let's find it together!Sailing holidays are an excellent opportunity for groups of family and friends to come together and create unforgettable holiday memories. Booking a whole boat allows you some luxuries you may not find when sharing the boat with travellers. One particular luxury that could make a great different to your holiday structure is the freedom of your itinerary - which may be especially relevant when travelling in Croatia where there is such an abundance of special islands and beautiful destinations to visit. Reserving a whole boat then allows you to work with your skipper to tweak and tune the holiday to suit you and your friends and family.
The different sailing itineraries in Croatia are plentiful. Whether you are looking for a holiday of relaxation, a more adventurous trip, or a flotilla, party boating holiday experience - Croatia has what you’re looking for. The country is home to 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and an abundance of stunning destinations that can be part of a sailing holiday route, including the Plitvice National Park, Europe's most beautiful beach in 2019: Pasjača, the blue cave on the island Biševo, a popular home to dolphins in Lošinj, and the beautiful island of Dugi Otok reachable from Dubrovnik or Zadar.
All you need to know about your next cruise in Croatia aboard a sailboat.
The Croatian climate is pleasant and generally suitable for sailing holidays throughout the year. Travellers might want to consider a sailing holiday in Croatia during the slightly quieter months of May, June, September, or October when weather conditions are still generally warm. Depending on the style of sailing experience you are looking for, each group of islands has their unique personality, and each island it’s special charm. Travelling with a local, experienced skipper means that you are able to travel to the popular destinations as well as lesser known spots, tucked away from mainstream tourism. Again, depending on the set of islands you are visiting, the recommended duration will differ. Shorter weekend trips to holidays of 2 weeks can be found throughout the Split archipelago, Kornati islands, the Istrian peninsula, and Dalmatia.
Croatia is home to a number of international airports, including through the capital of Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Pula, and Rijeka. Prices will vary substantially depending on the month, you may find cheaper alternatives in the months before and after the peak months of July and August. Your skipper will be best placed to give you advice on transport options according to the specific embarkment, disembarkment and season of travel. Croatia is a location that is particularly sailing holiday friendly, this as there is generally a warm climate, plenty of mooring options, and many facilities for activities such as water sports.
