Croatia yachting & sailing vacations, cruising holidays, luxury
gulet cruises and crewed yacht charter on the Dalmatian Coast.

With over a 1000 islands in the Adriatic to explore, innumerable bays and coves, glorious unspoiled beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, magnificent mountain views, delicious gastronomy, 8 beautiful National Parks brimming with wildlife and a Mediterranean climate balmy enough to grow palms, vines and olives, it is not difficult to see why Croatia (Hrvatska) is becoming a very popular holiday destination. One of the best ways to enjoy Croatia’s coast and the Dalmatian Islands is on a sailing boat - our speciality! We offer you several possibilities for your sailing holidays & vacations: You can charter a modern yacht in our Croatia yacht charters section, or you can charter one of our traditionally built, wooden sailing gulets, ketches or schooners on offer in our Adriatic cruises section. Luxury cabin charter cruises are also available in these beautiful boats for individuals, couples and small groups. These cultural and culinary cruises will take you to the most interesting and beautiful sights along the Dalmatian Coast. Due to popular demand we have created the Croatia party cruises, concocted for the young, or young at heart, who are after a fun time. To see all our cabin charter offers please go to the Croatia Cabin Charter Cruises home page.

Typically a cruise in Croatia starts with a welcome drink with the skipper and the other members of the crew, after which guests will be "shown the ropes" and around the boat. The boat then lifts anchor and sails to one of the many beautiful bays, beaches or towns on the Dalmatian Coast. We have some fabulous cruise itineraries planned for you, but if you prefer, you can plan your own itinerary. As well as the many Dalmatian islands you can visit, such as Kornati, Brac, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet and Vis, there are any number of fascinating towns you can explore, including Split, Trogir, Zadar and Primosten, not forgetting Dubrovnik, one of the most magnificent towns on the Adriatic. Plenty of time will be allowed at each stop to look around the towns and sights. During the cruise you can ask the skipper anytime to stop in a quiet little cove or off a beach, so you can go for a swim, do some fishing, or just relax!

Winter cruising is also possible on specially organised tours on the gulet Blue Nose. Cruises include the "Croatia Adventure Cruise" for those who like action and adventure, the "Croatia History Cruise" for connoisseurs and lovers of history, and the "Christmas" and "New Year Cruises, specially concocted for the festive season.
