This summer, a sailing holiday, yacht charter are the perfect way to relax, unwind, have fun, and stay safe. The stunningly beautiful coastline and islands of Croatia are characterized by mild winters, warm summers, and endless hours of sunshine. The sailing season is from the end of April to the middle of October. There are many excellent marinas with top class infrastructure and facilities.
The Dalmatian coast is a historic and beautiful part of Europe. It is also the original home of the very biggest spotty dog you ever did see; but that’s for another time. It is also of the most sensational parts of the Mediterranean, or to be precise the Adriatic, to go sailing.
Croatia is in the northwest of the Balkan peninsula and covers four regions. The most northerly is called Istria; then there is Croatia Proper; Slavonia; and Dalmatia. It is the exquisite coastal region of Dalmatia that is home to Croatia’s complex patchwork of enchanting islands.
Croatia is as geographically unique as it is beautiful and historically rich. Its ancient and diverse past, stretching back over millennia, influences every aspect of its culture, evidence of which can be seen, tasted, and heard at virtually every turn.
The timeless terracotta rooves, atop classically picturesque buildings, makes it unquestionably one of the most idyllic and distinctive areas of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. Combine all of this with the warmth of the summer months, steady winds and crystal clear, azure waters and it is without doubt the perfect destination for a sailing holiday.
