The sailing areas of Croatia are far more than just an insider tip and have been among the most beautiful and popular destinations for a sailing trip in the Mediterranean for many years. It is not for nothing that sailors call the region the "Caribbean of the Mediterranean". Many beautiful places along the coast have completely adapted to sailing tourism while retaining their individual charm. Historic towns worth seeing and smaller towns are just waiting to be explored and round off a perfect sailing trip. Imposing, rocky coasts and countless small islands always provide new impressions even after years.

Croatia convinces with perfect conditions for a successful sailing holiday: fascinating landscapes and bays, Mediterranean climate and ideal weather conditions ensure an unforgettable sailing adventure. In the Croatian sailing areas you will definitely find picturesque coastal landscapes and enchanting islands with crystal clear water.
But it's not just the sea and the many islands that offer recreational skippers and their crews impressive experiences. Depending on the crew and preferences, adventurous hikes, shopping experiences or culinary delights in the numerous restaurants, also known as taverns, are possible.

The moderate weather, the modern infrastructure and especially the port network, which is one of the densest in the Mediterranean, contribute to this in particular.
Why Croatia is now considered one of the most popular holiday destinations has to do not only with the advantages mentioned, but also with the arrival. Traveling by car from southern Germany in particular is not a problem and can be managed within a few hours. In addition, some airlines fly to the big cities like Zagreb or Split several times a week.
Croatia is suitable as a sailing area for both inexperienced sailors who want to learn how to sail, be it by sailing or on a yacht charter, as well as for professionals. With us you dive into the sailing paradise of Croatia!

The months between March and October are particularly recommended for an unforgettable sailing holiday in Croatia, for beginners the period from July to August. During this period you can expect countless hours of sunshine and little rainfall. Even if it can sometimes get very hot with temperatures of up to 40 °C, average temperatures of 25 to 30 °C usually prevail during the day.
The wind conditions in particular are comparatively stable in summer. The Mistral – also known as the fair-weather wind – blows from the north-west of the Adriatic Sea and is perfect for sailing. In the evenings, the wind usually calms down so that you can anchor overnight without any problems.

With its 5,835 kilometers of mainland coast and 1,246 islands, Croatia is one of the most popular sailing areas in the Mediterranean.

First of all, we can state that Croatia has a unique starting position in the Mediterranean. On the one hand, the islands off the mainland are a kind of natural breakwater, which ensures that you can always sail calmly somewhere in the shelter and moor or anchor safely in almost all weather conditions. It doesn't matter whether it's a perfectly developed marina, a small island harbour, a mooring field, a restaurant bay with a wooden jetty or a secluded anchorage - there's always something to be found within a few nautical miles.
In recent years, the infrastructure for water sports has grown enormously. Anyone who has ever been to the Croatian Adriatic coast will surely want to come back. Let's divide Croatia into five well-known geographic regions from north to south:

• Peninsula Istria
• Kvarner Bay
• North Dalmatia with the Kornati National Park
• Central Dalmatia
• South Dalmatia

This also makes sense from a sailing and planning point of view, because each of these five regions can actually be viewed as a separate cruise destination. With distances that are just right for a one- to two-week trip, depending on your mood.
