A little bit about Adriatic Sea

The Adriatic coastline with its clear seas, gentle summer climate, quaint villages and historic towns, is a magnificent sailing area, which reveals Croatia as one of Europe's leading bareboat charter destinations. Sailors are attracted by the fantastic variety and diversity Croatia offers as a sailing holiday destination.



Consider the contrasts: quiet bays versus exciting nightlife, traditional markets versus modern supermarkets, gentle morning breezes and exciting afternoon sea breezes, modern marinas versus centuries old town quays, metropolitan meccas versus marine national parks. Sailing in Croatia, as the cliché goes, has something for everyone.
Croatia has an amazing 5,835km of coastline, 4,057km of which belongs to islands, cliffs and reefs. There are 1,185 islands in the Adriatic, but only about 50 are populated. This makes for a glorious sailing holiday, with short-hop sailing itineraries offering not only surprising diversity from port to port but also the opportunity to visit islands and beaches that would otherwise be inaccessible. Spend the night on a quay of a UNESCO World Heritage town quay, the day in an isolated bay, and the following night in a bustling port town with modern restaurants and nightspots.

The 5000km coastline is sheltered by chains of over 700 islands, amongst which offer thousands of safe anchorages and harbours during your sail. Along the coast you can find isolated moorings, as well as modern and well equipped marinas.

Croatia has an abundance of hidden bays, beaches, cliffs, emerald groves, and fantastic diving opportunities to enjoy on your sail. You can start explore adriatic in Croatia sailing holiday from either Pula, which is located on the Istrian coast; from Zadar or Split, cities in the middle of the Dalmatian coast; or Dubrovnik, the historic city in Southern Croatia.

Sailing in the Central Dalmatian Islands - Places to be Seen and to Hide

  • Sailing Croatia you will find plenty of nightlife and great restaurants
  • Sailing Croatia will spoil you with beautiful UNESCO World Heritage towns
  • When you sail Croatia you'll often moor up directly outside centuries old towns and tavernas

The central and southern Dalmatian Islands are Croatia's most well known and popular sailing destination. They lie to the south of Split, the main point of entry into Croatia, and spread along the coast to Dubrovnik, at the very south of the country.

The area south of Split contains numerous islands, the largest of which include Brac, Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Mljet, and Lastovo. Donot forget the mainland though, with Rogoznica, Makarska, Split and particularly Trogir all offering fantastic shore-based sightseeing and a pub or two. Dubrovnik is well worth a visit if you have time, though do bear in mind that it is out of the way and isnot really recommended during a one-week holiday.

The Dalmatian Islands are slightly more cosmopolitan than their northern counterparts, offering lively ports with restaurants and bars nestled within numerous old towns. Famous for its nightlife is Hvar Town and Bol on the island of Brac. It is not all about partying though, with other islands offering special experiences.
