Croatia

Croatia : sail from island to island carried by the winds

Whether you wish to relax or enjoy water sports, visit the natural parks or dance away in reputed international clubs, everyone will find something to make him happy in Croatia.

Croatie à la voile

The adriatic sea is dotted with 1'185 islands off the Croatian coast, making the area one of the most beautiful one for sailing in Europe.

The shores of Croatia and its islands have been created by a spectacular rise of the sea level 13'000 years ago. The 5'000 kilometres of coasts are well protected by a string of islands thereby providing with unique anchorage spots and ports. Romantic and wild spots for morring can be found as well as modern and well equipped ports and marinas. Mother Nature has been particularly generous with Croatia and has gifted the country with incredible isolated bays, beaches, cliffs, emerald creeks, straits and huge open spaces into the sea. Three regions are perfect for sailing in Croatia : Istria, the Bay of Kvarner and Dalmatia. The bases to rent saiboat and catamaran in Croatia are located in the centre down the Adriatic in the towns of Sibenik and Trogir. If you're travelling to Croatia by car and passing through Slovenia, don't forget to buy a vignette (EUR 16 for one week).

Weather

Seafaring is pleasant and enjoyable from April to October. During the summer months, the winds blow from the north, at a mean speed of 2 to 3, and very rarely go beyond. The Bora can be quite aggressive however during the winter months and blow from the north. The average sea and air temperature in July-August is 25 degrees.
