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).

I cannot recommend this trip enough! Our leader Ante made it such a special week, planning amazing activities (for example, a trip to an oyster farm) and group meals with local restaurants and chefs. Our group became fast friends that I will treasure forever. Trip of a lifetime!

I found this trip a little underwhelming. There were some great moments and experiences, however the pre-trip information and the information provided by our skipper during the trip made it hard to know where we were going and to make the most of each destination. While there is time to explore, the trip is more about motoring / sailing.

We had a fantastic time on this trip and would recommend it to everyone. Ante was a great captain who provided fantastic recommendations on what to do and where to eat. I was initially nervous about booking this trip, but it was easily the best holiday I’ve ever been on

This trip has some of the most amazing marinas and swim spots, with an amazing knowledgeable Skipper named Ante. The suggestions and connections he has really made this trip a once in a lifetime experience! The boat is tight space but most of the time you are on top the boat or exploring the ports so it isn’t a big part of the trip inside the cabin.
