How to have an amazing PRIVATE SAILING vacay from Split Croatia
Croatia is a small country, but its history, natural beauty, and food and drinks are incredible. Croatia’s coastline is so full of spectacular places to see that it makes a great place to start any itinerary.
Plan Your Itinerary
Planning your itinerary is key to having a successful cruise in Croatia.
Split offers private sailing and cruises that allow you to experience Croatia from the water while avoiding other tourists. This is a great option if you want to escape the crowds of Europe this summer.
Split is the most convenient place to start your sailing, since it’s one of the largest marinas in Croatia and many yacht companies have it as their base.
Cruises from Split to Dubrovnik are a great way to see the most popular Croatian attractions in a short amount of time. It’s also a short distance. You can cruise for only a few hours a day and still have plenty of time in your destination.
Between Split and Dubrovnik, you’ll find the most famous islands in the area (Korcula Hvar and Brac). The cities of Split or Dubrovnik are also worth a visit. Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful Eastern European cities is well worth a trip.
You can spend two weeks in Croatia and sail from Zadar to Montenegro or take your time to travel from Split to Dubrovnik.
Travel during the sailing season
Between May and October, Croatia has a sailing season. You may consider visiting Croatia in July or August if you enjoy swimming. The water will be warmer.
If you are on a tight budget, the month of September is usually the least expensive and most crowded.
Choose the right boat
You will have to choose between a motor or sailing yacht. Whatever you choose, ensure that it offers plenty of space for outdoor living and you are comfortable on your boat.
A sailing yacht is a good option in Croatia because the distances are small.
Renting a motor boat offers greater mobility. A motor yacht can allow you to explore more islands and attractions. Motor yachts are expensive.
Motor yachts are available for rent in Split. They come in different sizes and types, and you can choose the length of time that suits your needs. You can hire a smaller motor yacht for one day or a bigger motor yacht for longer periods. It all depends on your budget and group size.
There are motorboats available for rent with a skipper and crew (or without professional personnel), with just a skipper, or with no professional personnel at all (bare-bones charters). If you’re travelling with a big group, it may be difficult to find a yacht without crew.
You can rent a smaller yacht without a professional crew if you want to limit your contact with others. However, even if the skipper is experienced, you must be able prove that you have the licenses and permits to operate the boat.
Spend Some Time at the Beach
Croatia beaches are stunning. Check out these beaches:
- Dubovica in Hvar
- Lovrecina on Brac and Zlatni Rat
- Proizd Island is near Korcula Island
Avoid Dubrovnik when the large cruise ships are there
Dubrovnik is a great place to visit if you want to avoid crowds.
Dubrovnik has become a popular cruise ship port. These ships can hold thousands of passengers who disembark to crowd the streets. Avoid the times when cruise ships arrive in Dubrovnik by asking your sailboat rental service.
