Sail in Croatia

Croatia is one of the most popular, if not the most popular destination for yacht charter in the Mediterranean.

Located on the Adriatic Sea between Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia/Herzegovina and Montenegro - Croatia has over 1100 islands, 8 protected national parks and a number of UNESCO world heritage listed cities and landmarks that make it an ideal destination for travellers.

The coastal cities and island towns live off the income provided from the strong tourist influx, largely provided by the abundance of sailing charter options. As one of the largest providers of all boats types, with mountains of options available, boat hire can allow travellers to visit even the remotest villages and provide a stable source of income to these towns.

Croatia & Tourism

Croatia boasts some of the worlds most beautiful beaches - almost 110 beaches have the special blue flag award along with 8 marinas in Croatia. The most famous beaches which are well worth the trip alone include Plava Plaza in Vodice, Bijela plaža Solaris in Sibenik and Plaza Bacvice in Split.

The entire Adriatic coast of Croatia has a fascinating regional history. For thousands of years, the area was a crossroads of many civilizations and is continued to be shaped by landscapes today. Especially in recent years, after forming a peace agreement in the Balkans - the dissolution of Yugoslavia is a hype for inexpensive developed tourism from Croatia to the Adriatic. 

 

Croatia - Sailing Destination for the Entire Year

The Yacht Charter industry in Croatia has thrived as a result of this. The marinas are all well equipped, modern and in great conditions. Crews and Skippers in the region pride themselves on their ever-improving English skills. Whilst companies that offer the charter boats are often in the younger years and rarely over 6 years old. The Croatian swimming season lasts from mid-May to late September. In the winter, the warm moist air from the southeast Scirocco winds flow into the country making it popular with experienced sailors who seek a challenge. Potential sailors are guaranteed that when it's cold at home they can escape into the warmth of the Croatian waters, locals and enjoy a sailing holiday even at the most unlikely times.
