The best way to explore Croatia is on a yacht.
Cruise turquoise waters, discover different islands and stay clear of the tourist crowds on land. Some of the best places in Croatia are only accessible with your own boat.
The Best Times to Sail Croatia
Light to moderate westerly winds offer ideal sailing conditions in late spring and early summer. Your crew put up the sails and you travel serenely on the wind.
July and August can be very calm on the water so you’ll need to use the motor. September and October bring strong winds and more challenging sailing conditions. Winter sailing is not really possible.
