Croatia Sailing Tours & Trips | Intrepid Travel CA

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.

Highlights of Croatia sailing

Get lost in Split’s Diocletian Palace

Once the ancient palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4^th 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.

Hvar town as seen from the hilltop fortress.

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).

I had a fantastic time. The only thing I would suggest is to give more information regarding the quarters that people would be staying in, and about the food on board. I didn’t have a problem, but I imagine some people may.

The trip is amazing and you really get a feel for the culture and sailing! You must be happy to help with preparing food and cleaning up. Definitely bring cash (kuna) as thr skipper makes excellent recommendations for local and tradtional food. Plenty of free time to do your own thing but also some wonderful evenings with fellow travellers. The cabin is small...definitely no hard suitcases!

Intrepid is a perfect balance for the experienced traveler. They handle all the logistics, and leave you free to get out and enjoy in an authentic environment. It’s like traveling on your own, but with the camaraderie of a small group and the local wisdom of a native leader. Tons of fun.

This is a trip that everyone would enjoy, sailors or not! There's nothing like swimming in the waters of the Dalmation Coast and the peacefulness of travelling under sail!

The sailing was a perfect trip to discover the Dalmatian coastline. With the boat we were able to visit a lot of places not easy accessible. Out guide Bruno was very knowledgeable of the area and had excellent suggestions on activities on each island.

Renae Houston

A Croatian sailing adventure is an absolute must for anyone travelling to this region. Had such a great time exploring all of the islands, eating some of the most amazing seafood and enjoying the local wine and olive oil. Sunshine, sailing, swimming and seafood. Life on the boat was definitely good.

The sailing adventure is a great way to experience full on relaxation, beautiful clean water to swim in and great islands to visit. You can choose to be active on the island or just relax, it is your choice. I suggest a good book to help pass the time sailing between islands. A holiday that is stress free.

Provided you can handle the compact living on a yacht this is the best way to see the Croatian islands, visiting not only the major destinations but also locations not accessible by larger ships

I would recommend anyone to take this sailing trip from Split to Dubrovnik. The beautiful locations can only be seen by taking a trip on a boat if this size.

More information on the size of the ship, closeness of quarters, and toilet facilities (campaign at best) would have been more useful and ultimately would have made us consider a more expensive alternative to make our travels a little more luxurious. The inability to flush toilet paper was difficult for my partner and I , therefore we could only go to the public toilet at marinas moored at.

A great opportunity to explore Croatia from another side, which is not only touristy. Apart from sailing it is a relaxing trip where you learn a lot about culture and could try a lot of delicious food.
