Cruise of Your Life
Sail away into Croatia
The year is almost at its end, and believe it or not – this is the perfect time to start planning your unforgettable summer vacation. And we will tell you everything you need to know, but you have to love the sea, the sun, and the sand – and if we add ‘the sail’ you’re in for the well-deserved journey!
The sea, the sun, and the sand of Croatia
Croatia’s coast stretches along 2,000 km of Adriatic shore. The magically clear water surrounds more than a thousand islands and islets. There, you will have plenty of opportunities to relax in beautiful cities on the coastline, or if you love to party – beach bars are perfect! However, there are plenty of uninhabited islands if you prefer being alone.
If this is your first time planning a sailing adventure, make sure to go to Dalmatia’s southern islands. To make the most out of this trip, plan your cruise any time between May and September. And if you love swimming, July and August will be just the time for you.
Sailing license
In case you have a sailing license, be sure to check with the Customs office to obtain clearance to sail the Croatian waters. When sailing with a skipper, your charter service will provide you with an expert who meets all the needed criteria – all you have to do is enjoy the trip.
Top 3 locations
- The heart of Dalmatia – Split
Being in the center of Dalmatia, Split is a good starting choice with the best connections to all the nearby islands. Here are a few that you just must visit:
- Brač – the most beautiful beach at Bol called Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn)
- Hvar – the island with the most sun hours in a year
- Korčula – an escape from the crowd with delicious local wine
- Vis – untouched nature and sandy beaches
- Šolta – for an active vacation with dalmatian gastronomy
Split is also connected to Dalmatia’s cultural roots – with the old town presenting a perfect mix of traditional and modern life.
- Pearl of the Adriatic – Dubrovnik
If you truly love sailing, you must have heard of Dubrovnik before. This town-port is not only famous for the ‘Game of Thrones’ film set, but is itself the throne of Dalmatia. A beautiful town surrounded by even more astonishing walls surrounded by magical water will leave you speechless.
Dubrovnik is also surrounded by many islands such as:
- Lokrum – for a quick refreshment in nature (only 20-minute boat ride from Dubrovnik)
- Mljet – beauty from within and without with two saltwater lakes on the island
- Lopud – with the best sand beaches
- Hidden gem – Kornati
If you want to escape the crowd and enjoy the nature and simple pleasures of life – Kornati is a must-see. This archipelago, made up of numerous islands, islets, and reefs, is by far the largest in the Adriatic.
Stay true to nature
