Croatia

Sail on a private charter yacht from island to island through the wonders of Croatia

Whether you prefer lounging or water sports, visiting nature parks or clubbing in internationally renowned nightclubs, there's something for everyone in Croatia.

Croatie à la voile

1185 islands dot the Adriatic Sea off the Croatian coast, making it one of the most beautiful yacht charter locations in the Mediterranean and Europe.

Croatia's coastline and islands were created by a spectacular rise in sea level 13,000 years ago. The 5,000 kilometers of coastline are protected by a string of islands offering a unique array of anchorages and harbors. Here you'll find wild, romantic anchorages as well as modern harbours and well-equipped marinas. Nature is generous and has endowed this richly varied country with an incredible number of secluded bays, beaches, cliffs, emerald coves, straits and wide-open spaces. There are three ideal sailing regions in Croatia: Istria, Kvarner Bay and Dalmatia. Our sailing and motor yacht charter bases are centrally located along the Adriatic in the towns of Sibenik and Trogir.


 

Sibenik (marina Zaton)

The Marina of Zaton is located at the extreme south west, well sheltered from the bay of Zaton, in the spectacular river of Krka, on the sea route of Skradin and the National Park of Krka. The cove offers an excellent natural protection from the hull and the winds, independent of their direction.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik Marina is located at the end of the River Omble in the north of the city, just 15 minutes from the historic city center and 30 minutes from Cavtat international airport. It boasts all the facilities of the most modern marinas, top-quality sailing and motor yachts for charter and a magnificent swimming pool bordered by a restaurant.

Trogir

The luxury yachts are ideally located at Seget Donji, 10 minutes drive only from the airport of Split, at the centre of the croatian coast and a few minutes away from Trogir, city which is registered as UNESCO World Heritage site. This marina offers plenty of facilities such as modern and new sanitary installations, restaurant and bars, outdoor swimmig pool, luggage check services, supermarkets,…

Split

Split harbor is a 30-minute cab ride from the airport, making it an ideal starting point for chartering your private yacht. The marina is at the western end of the harbor, well protected from all winds. A stroll along the quay will take you to the magnificent city of Split and its market. The new Marina Kastela is located north of Split, just 15 minutes from the airport. Marina Agana is a 20-minute cab ride from Split airport.

Our favourites in Croatia

Here is a list of our favourite places during our two sailing cruises in Croatia (from north to south) : the National Park of Krka and its famous waterfalls, the hotel resort of Solaris in Sibenik (perfect for children) and its two small private marinas, a night at the anchorage Blue Lagoon in the south-east of Drvenik Veli (avoid tour boats between 10h and 16h !), a night out in the historical centre of Trogir, listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, a little trip via Maslinica on the island of Solta, the excellent restaurants and the market of Split, an animated night out in Hvar while leaving the boat at the nearest marina o Palmizana (taxis are available to reach Hvar), a nice anchorage at Scedro and its tasty fish restaurants, a visit of Korkula and its walls, a visit of the National Park of Mljet after spending a night in the lovely cove of Polace, a walk on the island of Lokrum reputed for its peacocks and wild rabbits and finally a tour of the City walls of Dubrovnik followed by a nice restaurant (do not forget to book during summer !).

Weather

Seafaring is pleasant and enjoyable from April to October. During the summer months, the winds blow from the north, at a mean speed of 2 to 3, and very rarely go beyond. The Bora can be quite aggressive however during the winter months and blow from the north. The average sea and air temperature in July-August is 25 degrees.
