Sailing Regions in Croatia
The Croatian coast is the home of numerous islands, bays and pittoresque island towns. We have divided our yacht charter in Croatia into four regions or sailing areas. It is imposible to see everything in just a week and that is why many holiday makers come back to Croatia to discover more of the Adriatic with their favorite skipper, chef or hostess on board.
Istria is the largest Croatian peninsula and a place of immense natural diversity and cultural heritage.

Croatian Highlights
Zadar is a coastal city which owes its growth to its people and its surroundings. The advantage of having a small airport makes it easier to arrive there and quickly hop on board of your sailing boat in Croatia. Zadar offers
What we said about Sibenik also applies to Zadar, with numerous islands just in 20 NM range everything is reachable so enjoy your sailing around Zadar. Zadar is the perfect starting point, if you want to see the islands which are in North Dalmatia. Here you will find one of the prettiest bays called
Yacht Charter Croatia Zadar
Read moreThe sailing area around Sibenik is simply beautiful. Most people have heard that South Dalmatia is the best sailing area. Well, we disagree! We think that all the sailing areas are special in their own way. What we like here is the density of small islands in comparison to the southern route, on the southern route there are seven big islands and around
Another advantage of Sibenik is the vicinity of one more National Park, Krka NP. To go there you have to sail through a canyon and go a bit inland, change the saltwater for the mix of salt and sweet water, which allows locals to farm mussels along the way to Krka. Our tip is to stop by on one of the places there in the canyon and buy a couple of kilograms to prepare a dish called Buzara. If you have a skipper or a hostess on board they can make it for you. The last stop on your way there is Skradin.
It is hard to describe it, a small beautiful place which developed into a very important nautical destination due to the NP of Krka, but not only because of that, it has a unique vibe and energy that you feel immediately when you sail in. The whole approach by boat is spectacular, so when you arrive there you feel amazing. If you are flying to Croatia, then we will make sure to arrange your transfer to Sibenik, either from Split or Zadar airport. The marina is only a couple of minutes away from the city.
We didn’t write here much about the city of Sibenik itself, but trust us when we say that it’s an amazing coastal town, it has three city fortresses and

Read moreThe town of Hvar on the Island of Hvar is the place to be. If you are looking for fun and culture and some more fun, well this will fulfill all of your desires. The Hula-Hula bar and its after beach party with its famous sunset is a really unique place for a beach party. Carpe Diem after beach parties are known worldwide, as well as the culinary offer in this beautiful town. The surroundings of Hvar are what make Hvar a very popular nautical destination. 3 nautical miles from the town of Hvar lays a group of Islands called the Paklinski islands. The Paklinski islands have their own vibe with their crystal clear bays and a marina on the island of Palmizana, where you can berth the boat. There you can chill during the day and charge your batteries for the upcoming evening filled with new experiences and adventures and still be close to the town of Hvar.
The city of Hvar lives practically 24 hours a day, so if you are a party animal, this is the place for you. Plan your visit to Hvar so you can come earlier in the afternoon to see the city by day and after enjoy it during the night. We know you will find your fun there. Let us know how it was!

Read moreMarco? Polo? Surely you know this game! Well, it happens to be that the town of Korcula on the island of Korcula is the birth place of Marco Polo, the great sailor, who was hired by the Venetian Republic to discover a quicker way to China. Apart from his house you can see many interesting things in the old town of Korcula that looks like the smaller version of Dubrovnik.
People like to say that Korcula is the small Dubrovnik. The town of Korcula is also surrounded by walls and it has the shape of a fish bone with a central square and a gothic church where you can climb up to the church tower and have a 360 degree view of the city an its surroundings. When you sail in to the marina or you decide to place the anchor around one of the dozens of small islands just 1 nautical mile from the town, go and visit the old town and you will enjoy the calm vibe, beautiful venues, old streets, small stone houses and palaces and restaurants. If you’re there on a Thursday, check out the performance called “Moreska”, it’s a traditional sword dance that local people perform, which dates back hundreds of years.
Make sure this island and the town of Korcula is on your itinerary during your sailing trip. It would be a shame to miss it if you are already sailing in that area. The marina is very small and only a limited number of boats can find their berth there. Be sure to arrive a bit earlier in the afternoon so that you don’t have a problem with mooring your yacht. If the marina is over-booked, sail 2-3 nautical miles to the town called Lumbarda, moor your boat and get the taxi to the town of Korcula, it’s a 10 minute drive.
Especially during the high season it is very difficult to get a place and the most frequented days in Korcula are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Why? It’s because Korcula is in the middle of the way between Split and Dubrovnik. Both of them are a starting point for charters in Croatia and the boats meet here on those days.

Read moreWith its beauty and its position, Dubrovnik claims the name “The Pearl of Croatia” and deserves it in every way. Many books were written about Dubrovnik. The history of Dubrovnik when it was still a republic is very rich and interesting. Nautically Dubrovnik is a very attractive destination, especially if you want to start or end your trip there.
One way options allow you to make the most out of your time and sail from Split to Dubrovnik or the other way around. Feel free to send us an inquiry. If your course is NW from Dubrovnik, in a couple of miles you will find yourself surrounded by three islands called the Elafiti islands. The Elafiti islands comprise of the islands of Kolocep , Lopud and Sipan. All three offer unique anchorages and remote places to walk around in the evening and check out their gastronomic offer, it would be perfect, if you have the time to visit them all sailing from one to another and take your time while doing it - easy and relaxed sailing.
On the other hand, if you would like to spend your day looking at the old town of Dubrovnik just sail around the stunning walls of Dubrovnik and place your anchor on the SE side just around the Island of Lokrum where you will have the most beautiful view towards Dubrovnik. This view is absolutely one of a kind.

Read moreThe town of Rovinj is 50 km away from Pula by car. By sea you can get here quite fast, so take the time and spend at least one of your days in Croatia in Rovinj. Rovinj is absolutely worth your attention, especially when you are approaching Rovinj from the sea. It makes a huge difference when you are coming somewhere by car or by boat. That unique feeling of the wind and the waves splashing your boat on your entrance to the local marina, you will have a completely different view on Rovinj. When you get there, please, don’t rush, you have all the time in the world, you’re on vacation.
Visit the local market, walk up to the highest point in Rovinj where you will find the beautiful church of St. Eufemija with its stunning murals. Take a seat at the bench or in a cafe and wait for the sunset to come. These are extraordinary experiences and something memorable to take home with you.
Every day offers something new and unexpected, get lost in the streets of this coastal town and explore, look up, look left and right when you are walking through Rovinj and you will be amazed what you see.
If you have bad weather, don’t worry. Visit the vineries which are not far from Rovinj and offer exquisite wine & dine experiences. Write us an email and we will recommend how you can make the most out of your day.

Read moreThe town of Pula has an airport, so that makes it a good place to start your charter week. It is smaller in terms of marinas with a limited selection of boats but with lots of other things to offer.
Pula is located in the Isria and Kvarner sailing area, which means you can either sail down south towards the islands of Mali Losinj, Susak, Cres, Unije or you can sail up the peninsula and visit coastal towns like Rovinj, Novigrad, Umag and all the way to Savudrija which is the last town before you enter Slovenia. Pula has the most preserved amphitheater in this part of Europe. Make sure you get to see the mainland of Istria while you are there. Beautiful medieval small towns will blow your mind, as well as the Brijuni National Park, which was the summer residence of Tito, former president of Yugoslavia when Croatia was still part of that union before 1990.
Brijuni is a one of kind place in Croatia. Different animals run all over the island and if you have the desire to play a game of golf, just let us know, we will make arrangements and you can play an 18 hole match with your sailing team.
We are sure you won’t regret it, if you cannot exactly decide from which city to start or which sailing area to choose. We will advise you which boat or yacht to charter and if you need a skipper than we’ll choose one for you. So just hop on board to have sailing adventure of your life.
Be sure that Pula and Istria are a part of your route! At the end let us know how it was? We want you to have the perfect sailing holiday in Croatia!
