Why Charter a Yacht in Croatia?

Why not? With 140 islands, islets and reefs making up the northern part of the cruising grounds available to the yachtcharterer and the larger islands between Split and Dubrovnik enticing you with beautiful tree lined coasts, when you encounter villages steeped in history, glorious beaches and bays, all within the background of coastal mountains dropping straight into the sea - is this not reason enough?

It is no wonder that Croatia is the crossroads of East meeting West and Central Europe meeting the Mediterranean. The ubiquitous myriads of historical towns show ancient Rome, Byzantine, Romanesque, and Renaissance influences. Such is the experience of the charterer in these crystal clear and remarkably clean waters.

What's on Offer?

Along the coast and on some islands are a series of modern marinas that offer pier space, electricity, fuel,water,laundry, shower and shopping facilities. Other docking facilities include town piers or bays for dropping anchor and there are numerous beaches for solitude.

The most crowded period is July and August when sailing enthusiasts from Europe flock to the coast but the months of May, June, September and October should not be overlooked for a quieter visit to this unspoiled coast during good weather.

The waters are deep, clean and welcoming. Winds are moderate, for most of the summer and part of spring. There is an occasional strong north wind called “Bura” but this usually only blows for a day or so at a time.

Tourist facilities are in full operation, and depending what time of year you visit, you may find yourself amongst the best of European cultural events on offer at some of the points of call. There are opportunities to visit the tiny, unspoiled villages with a window on an older way of life. You will find communicating easy as English is spoken to a great extent along the coast and coastal islands. Croatians are generally a warm and genuine people who embrace the visits of tourists to their shores.
