Boaters who come to Croatia, in addition to enjoying the delights of navigation and the beauties of the crystal clear sea and pristine nature, can also enjoy many cultural and historical sights and attractions along the coast, fresh seafood, recreational facilities, and a nightlife.

Choosing the right boat type depends on your needs, wishes and preferences. Understanding what certain types of boats can offer is very important in selecting the appropriate charter vessel.
Sailing boats are the most popular types of the vessels available for charter in Croatia and they are suitable for family holidays. Sailing boats are much slower than motor yachts as they use the power of the wind instead of the engine and are an excellent choice for those who have plenty of time to explore the Croatian coast.
Catamaran is the right for all those seeking a comfort, space as well as the stability of the vessel at sea, while motor yachts are a right choice for those who enjoy speed drives. Gulet or motor sailing boats are crewed boats that offer the perfect combination of excitement of a sailing boat and the comfort of large boats.

Wow who knew what an amazing holiday that could be. Croatia looks so stunning! Amazing photos.
Anda, you may have heard of the Dalmatian Dog which is spotted with dots. Well this dog got it’s name from the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia- the reason because it is spotted with islands just like the Dog is with dots which is a co-incidence. This however is why the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia is in my opinion the best sailing spot in the world as there are so many islands 1200 of them in a small area thus it always feels like you can see the shoreline or another island in the vicinity. This is what makes Croatia unique and the sailing experience so amazing as in country’s like Greece there are also a lot of Island however over a huge area thus it often feels like you are in the Open Sea as you are sailing for hours between some islands
I have never sailed long-time anywhere (just short trips around the harbor). Croatia seems like a wonderful place to try this. I was wondering how far from the shore these yachts go because I am sort of scared of sailing.
Yacht Week was going on while I was in Split. Unfortunately this is still a bit out of my budget, but I heard some really amazing stories from people who went out! This really would be the ideal way to explore the islands and coastline. Someday… :)
Beautiful pics (love the view of the Brijuni Islands) … a sailing holiday must be a great way of soaking up the beauty of the Croatian Coast.
