Amazing and professional experience

What an amazing and professional experience. We chartered a boat from Split and were greeted by our skipper Sinisa. He welcomed us, and very quickly guaged excatly what we wanted from the trip. His knowledge of the coastline was second to none. We were looked after and his experience and professionalism was evident at all times.
This trip surpassed all expectations and we will definitely be booking another trip next year.

Win-win!

For us, the two most important aspects of a charter are the scenery and the crew. Sinisa delivered on both accounts. Prior to the trip, he communicated promptly and clearly. We had a thoughtful and capable crew that gauged both the weather and our interests well. They were also easy to be around in small quarters! The islands of Croatia offered so many beautiful, historic, and spotless villages to explore. Relative to Caribbean charters we have taken (and given the time of year,) the focus was less on water sports and more on history, exploring towns, biking and eating of course!

Can't wait to book another trip!

We had a truly incredible vacation--my son and a few friends on a 62' catamaran. Sinisa made it incredibly easy to coordinate remotely (over email, Zoom, and the phone) and helped us select the perfect yacht and accessories (go with the bob!)We had a truly incredible vacation--my son and a few friends on a 62' catamaran.

First time sailing and was first class!

Just came home from an amazing week sailing on a 45 foot catamaran around Split region with Sails of Croatia. Sini was first class when communicating about our trip and our skipper was very knowledgeable. Wonderful sailing. Very comfortable. They knew the best places to go, coves for paddle boarding and snorkeling and great restaurants. Would 100% recommend!

We very much enjoyed a great week exploring the Adriatic Sea!

We very much enjoyed a great week exploring the Adriatic Sea with all its beauty. Our skipper Josip was a very thoughtful planner of our trip. The way he respected our privacy and also socialized with us during breakfast and lunch was very nice. We loved the excellent excursions Josip organized for us. Many thanks to Tena for recommending the Lucia 40 for our family of 4, we loved the boat!

Exceeded ALL of our expectations

Starting with the quality of the boat, combined with the beautiful sailing waters of Croatia, great overnight stops, and the excellent leadership of captain Sinisa, we were blown away by this trip. We have put another "Croatia sailing trip" on our bucket list and hope to knock it off within the next 2 years. Having sailed in many other prime sailing waters around the world, the Croatia trip opened our eyes to a "Hidden Gem" that we were largely blind to prior to this first trip.

Amazing Sails of Croatia

The whole trip from the start with the great communication, local experience recommendations and transparent pricing from Tena to help us organize the holiday, to the seamless logistics, the lovely boat and wonderful hostess Sofia and skipper Kruno, everything went great and made it super easy just to get on and enjoy the family holiday. We’d love to come back again to sail with your group! So, till next time, thank you ;) Elaine, Ian and Alex

FAQ - Tailor Made Sailing Holidays in Croatia

A sailing holiday in Croatia is one of the most unique and rewarding ways to experience the Adriatic coast. With more than 1,000 islands, a rich cultural history, and some of the clearest waters in Europe, Croatia offers a blend of scenic beauty, adventure, and relaxation that few other destinations can match. You can explore hidden coves, swim in secluded bays, dine in charming seaside villages, and enjoy historical sights in UNESCO-listed cities—all from the comfort of your floating villa. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a first-time cruiser, Croatia has something to offer for every type of traveler.

The sailing season in Croatia runs from May to October. July and August are the warmest and sunniest months, ideal for beach lovers and nightlife seekers, but they’re also the busiest and most expensive. For a more peaceful and cost-effective experience, consider sailing in shoulder months like May, June, or September. These months offer pleasant weather, warm seas, and fewer crowds, making them perfect for sightseeing, swimming, and enjoying a more relaxed pace.

The cost of a sailing holiday in Croatia depends on several factors including the type of yacht, time of year, duration of the trip, and whether you choose bareboat or crewed charter. A monohull charter may start around €2,000 per week, while a catamaran or luxury yacht can range from €5,000 to over €15,000 per week. Additional expenses often include skipper and crew fees, food and beverages, fuel, mooring or marina charges, and optional excursions. 

An all-inclusive sailing Croatia typically covers the yacht rental, services of a professional skipper and hostess, daily meals and drinks, fuel, final cleaning, linens, and marina or mooring fees. Some packages also include water toys like paddleboards, snorkel gear, and Wi-Fi. It’s a popular choice for those looking to relax completely without worrying about the logistics—ideal for families, friends, or couples wanting a seamless and luxurious sailing experience.

Yes, sailing with a skipper is a great option for those without a valid sailing license or who simply prefer to let an expert handle the navigation. Skippers are highly experienced and knowledgeable about local weather, sea conditions, and hidden gems along the coast. They can tailor the route to suit your interests, whether that’s adventure, culture, or relaxation, and often have insider tips on the best local restaurants and attractions.

Absolutely! Sailing with kids in Croatia can be an unforgettable family adventure. Catamarans are particularly child-friendly due to their stability and spacious layout. Many charter companies offer safety nets, child-sized life jackets, and even onboard entertainment options. Kids love swimming in calm bays, spotting marine life, and visiting ancient castles along the Dalmatian coast. Plus, parents can enjoy quality family time in a stress-free, nature-filled setting.

The best yacht for your trip depends on your group size, preferences, and budget. Monohulls are perfect for those who enjoy a more traditional sailing experience, while catamarans offer more stability and space, ideal for families or groups. For those seeking luxury, fully crewed motor yachts or high-end sailing catamarans provide top-tier comfort, gourmet dining, and personalized service. Popular brands include Lagoon, Bali, Jeanneau, and Sunseeker, among others.

A private yacht charter means you rent the entire boat for yourself and your group, as opposed to booking by the cabin. You have full control over your itinerary, activities, and pace. You can also decide whether to sail bareboat (if licensed) or hire a professional skipper and crew. This option is ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for an exclusive, customizable, and intimate way to explore the Adriatic.

Yes! Croatia is a fantastic place to learn to sail, with calm waters, reliable winds, and beautiful scenery. We offer Learn to Sail holiday that combines instruction with real-time sailing experience. Courses are typically taught by certified instructors and can range from beginner to intermediate levels. You’ll cover topics like navigation, sail handling, safety procedures, and anchoring, all while enjoying a sailing holiday.

A bareboat yacht charter is for experienced sailors who want to skipper the boat themselves. To qualify, you’ll need to hold a valid sailing license recognized by Croatian authorities and have an adequate sailing resume. This option gives you total freedom to plan your own route, set your own pace, and enjoy a true hands-on sailing adventure. It’s ideal for those confident in their abilities and seeking a more independent experience.

Croatia has excellent sailing conditions, especially during the summer months. From May to September, the weather is generally warm, sunny, and dry, with sea temperatures ideal for swimming. The Maestral wind, a reliable northwesterly breeze, usually kicks in around midday and is perfect for sailing. Conditions are generally calm in the mornings and evenings, making for smooth cruising. Always check the marine forecast before setting sail, as the occasional Bura or Jugo wind can bring stronger gusts.

Pack light and use soft luggage, as storage space on yachts is limited. Essentials include swimwear, light clothing, a windbreaker or jacket for cooler evenings, non-marking deck shoes or sandals, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and reef-safe sunscreen. Don’t forget personal toiletries, motion sickness remedies (if needed), a reusable water bottle, and a waterproof phone pouch. A detailed packing list will be provided ahead of your trip to ensure you’re fully prepared.
