Croatia sailing cruises
With dozens of islands scattered off the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia was simply made for sailing
It’s no mystery why Croatia has become the darling of Europe, what with its perfect blend of Old-World charm and youthful exuberance. After all, this is the place where tumbledown villages still make wine by hand, ancient royal palaces become breezy open-air piazzas, and a pulsing underground night scene means you can shout ‘zivjeli’ till sunrise. It just so happens that your best ticket to see all of this is also at the prow of a boat, hopping from island to island and closing out the day with drinks by the Adriatic.

Croatia sailing highlights
Get lost in Split’s Diocletian Palace
Once the ancient palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD, this tangle of cobbled streets and narrow lanes is ripe for exploration. Get lost searching for the perfect gelato, rub shoulders with the locals in trendy closet-sized bars and climb the steps of the Cattedrale di San Domino for spectacular views over town. In the warmer months, the sound of live opera and classical music rings through the city’s whitewashed squares.
Walk the walls of Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik’s biggest claim to fame might be its starring role in the cult TVs series Game of Thrones, but when you’re done walking the ramparts you’ll find the city’s real charm rests in the details. There’s laneway restaurants still serving family recipes, cliffside bars to while away the day, literal underground nightclubs thumping till the wee hours and centuries of history to be unearthed at every corner.
Live the high life in Hvar
Come summer expect to see this luxurious port brimming with fancy yachts and fun-loving partygoers. At 20,000 visitors a day, Hvar is undoubtedly one of the most popular islands in Croatia. But what more can you expect from an island that also holds the official title as the sunniest place in the country? Find out for yourself at the marina’s swanky restaurants and trendy restaurants, or escape the fuss and soak up the views from Hvar Town’s iconic hilltop fortress.
Wine and dine in Korcula
If Hvar is the domain of glamour and decadence, then Korcula is the quiet retreat for those seeking a different pace. This is where you’ll find time-honoured traditions and folk music, secluded coves are dotted along the southern coast and a thriving viticulture that’s a treat for budding sommeliers. Spend the day eating your way through the island’s laneway cafes and, come evening, try and catch a performance of the island’s unique Moreska sword dance (usually seen between June and September).

Montenegro Sailing Adventure from Dubrovnik
Ángela · Traveled June 2024
This trip is fantastic. Our skipper, Ante, made sure to stop at various anchor points for midday swims. The excursions are not to be missed, the Montenegro family and Lovćen tour guide were so kind and provided such good food and views. We spent most of the time in the water, at sea, drinking local grappas and eating food prepared with the kitty. And in the late afternoons we had dinners and walks led by our cool skipper. Definitely recommend this trip, especially if you’re a first time sailor like me and want to learn some basics while seeing a bit of these areas.

Sailing is a great way to explore the Dalmatian islands. The skipper Ante is a very skilled sailor and I feel safe and enjoyed being in the water the whole time during the tour. Some modifications made from planned route due to bad weather was well communicated and we fully trusted his decision for safety reasons. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. As first time visitor to Dalmatia I recommend sailing as the best way to explore the region.

This trip has a fabulous itinerary. You get to visit wonderful locations along the beautiful Croatian coast. We had an amazing tour leader, Bruno. He took us to great swimming spots and suggested super local restaurants. This was our first intrepid experience and it was wonderful. We had a great group on the boat and everyone was v friendly. The boat is not huge but you spend the majority of time on deck so the cabin size was not a big deal. Would highly recommend this trip
