The joys of sailing in Croatia
Sailing in the Mediterranean and on the Adriatic is an incredible experience for discovering sailing. The sea is a magnificent blue and the Dalmatian coasts shelter numerous islands to visit by sailboat. Sailors can admire dream landscapes that have nothing to envy Corsica, with coves for swimming or sunbathing such as in Rab, with its paradise beach of Rajska, typical villages and refined culinary specialities, not to mention Dalmatian wine and the surfers' paradise, in Punat. Sailboat rental in Croatia is the best way to explore the destination's assets departing from Split or Dubrovnik, a city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Islands to see follow one another with each stopover. You will not miss Hvar, the city reminiscent of Saint-Tropez with its chic boutiques, its restaurants where one can be seen. It is then highly recommended to embark aboard a rental sailboat for the Kornati Islands which remain as wild as ever with extraordinary marine wildlife. The salt lake of Dugi Otok and the Mljet archipelago, for those seeking rurality and authenticity, also deserve a detour.
The best places to sail in Croatia
Beautiful weather allows you all pleasures. The best is to let yourself be guided by the skipper who knows the best anchorages in the Kornati Islands. They will take you to stopovers in the Istria peninsula, in northern Dalmatia. The sailing areas of the Adriatic Sea around the fourteen islands of the Brioni or Brijuni archipelago are incredibly calm. Short sailing (around 10 miles) or long (30 miles), you will need to sail towards the islands of Veli Brijun or Mali Brijun, but also towards Kvarner Bay. The islands of Krk and Cres also delight during an outing with your skipper.
What you need to know for sailing in Croatian waters
Weather conditions are favourable for sailboat rental in Croatia. You will encounter temperatures around 20° C, allowing you to travel light, departing from the ports and marinas of Zadar in northern Dalmatia, Trogir in southern Dalmatia, not to mention Dubrovnik and Split. From May to September, you will encounter the Bora or Bura. This wind is renowned for its strength and will allow you to reach your objectives quickly. Do not hesitate to ask your skipper or base manager for advice to establish your sailing itinerary. After Easter, sailing conditions are very favourable with a relatively calm sea and sunshine guaranteed!
