Croatia is one of the most popular sailing destinations in the world. It has over 6000km of coastline, including islands, islets and reefs. The Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offers clear blue waters for sailing, swimming and snorkeling, stunning sunsets, medieval architecture and secluded beaches. Its ancient coastal cities with colorful and turbulent history, over 1100 islands alongside abundant national parks accessible by yacht, offer plenty to see and do and more to come back for.
The Adriatic Sea is navigational paradise. It’s lack of notable tides and tidal streams, light and reliable winds make Croatia suitable sailing spot for all levels of sailing experience. 56 modern and well equipped marinas, 30,000 berths in harbors and ports as well as natural (and often free) anchorages allow you to explore at your own pace, in company of other yachties or in seclusion.
