croatia_yacht_charterCroatia is a jewel of the Mediterranean with a majestically beautiful coastline. Along the Croatian coast, which spreads for over more than 1700km, are situated many towns and 1185 islands (about 50 are inhabited), and each one of them is different. Main island destinations are Brijuni (national park), Krk, Cres, Susak (one of the rare islands that nature created from sand), Kornati (national park). They are ideal destinations for Sailing in Croatia and perfect holidays.

When visiting towns you can see a variety of cultural heritage, some towns are more than 3000 years old. Towns like Pula, Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik, are really worth visiting, not only for their historical significance, but also for great possibilities they offer for fun and relaxation. This includes night life and day activities like windsurfing, canoeing, diving, snorkeling and underwater exploring. Sailing in Croatia is the best way to discover the beautiful Croatian coast and enjoy your holiday. Sailing enthusiasts visit Croatia to explore the thrills of a real sea adventure.

Yacht charter in Croatia is very easy, however there are some terms and conditions which you should follow and/or you’ll be expected to meet. Firstly, it is needless to note that if you don’t have any sailing experience or you are on the boat for the first time you must hire a vessel with a skipper. Croatian marine law clearly specifies that at least one (1) person on the vessel must have valid documents and permits required to sail in Croatian territorial waters. If this condition is met, you are free to choose and charter any boat you want.

You’ll be able to choose between motor boats and sailing boats for charters of various prices. Some of the prices start under 2,000 Euros; mid range prices are between 7,000 – 10,000 Euros. If you intending to spend around 20,000 Euros you’ll be able to find a luxury vessel to make the Adriatic cruise an unforgettable experience.

The Croatian sailing as well as tourist season starts in early April and ends in late October. Therefore you can expect the prices to vary accordingly, with June, July and August being the most expensive. Arguably the best time to visit Croatia to fully enjoy the sailing experience is April, May, September and October and that is for two main reasons.

Firstly, it is not high season therefore the prices are quite affordable. Secondly, at that time of the year the weather is warmish, not too cold, but still it is quite windy to enjoy the sailing fully. And finally at that time of the year the crowds haven’t arrived yet, or are well gone. Still you’ll be able to fully enjoy the Adriatic as the sea is warm enough to take a swim in May and September.
