Summer sailing in Croatia

Tanya Cvit - 14 Jan 20

Croatia is one of the top sailing destinations in the world for a variety of reasons. The islands are intact, and this means you don’t have to travel for long distances, the winds are calm when compared to other destinations, and the islands and coastline are lined with traditional historical ruins. There are numerous islands and a thousand miles of coastline you can explore during the summer months.

Planning your trip

If you are planning a visit to Croatia during the summer months, it’s essential to charter your boat months before to ensure you have the best boat as per your requirements. When it comes to the summer trip, you have to book hotels in advance. Ensure you have everything reserved before the summer approaches. The reason for booking before the summer is because there is usually a shortage in terms of accommodation as well as the boat availability.

Once you have decided on the exact date you are going to travel; it’s essential to pay attention to flight timings. Since most of the charters have a traveling schedule, it’s important to pay attention when it comes to flying into Croatia.

Sailing charters always begin and end in the same destination. For instance, you can pay a one-way fee if you need sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. Since most of the travelers book their flights in and out of the city, given few people choose to prefer a one-way option.

Sailing Destinations

Dalmatian Coast

Dalmatian Coast is one of the most popular destinations in this region for visitors exploring this destination for the first time. A sailing tour in Croatia is an ideal way of exploring Dalmatian coast as well as the picturesque islands which are all over the Adriatic Sea. Southern Dalmatia is also known as true nautical paradise comprising of ancient cities, hidden coves, and scheduled beaches. It is one of the most incredible regions to enjoy nightlife alongside a variety of local restaurants.

Majority of itineraries will spend most of their time hopping between islands like Korcula or Hvar due to their accessibility within a short period as they are close to each other. The Dalmatian coast is suitable for all people in spite of their ages as a result of the various activities and places to explore and often attracts a huge group of young people due to its nightlife as well as its popularity about established routes.

Istria

Istria is the largest peninsula found in the Adriatic Sea, located along the northern coast of Croatia. There were times when this island was part of Italy and up to now its influenced by Italian language, cuisine as well as culture. Coastal towns such as Porec are significant stopovers for travelers and are somehow crowded during the summer. Nevertheless, if you make a stopover at inland of Istria, you will realize amazing towns and villages which are not popular among the visitors, but great to see.

Now that you have some idea about Croatia, and places to go to, hope we will see you there…
