I’ve taken my family on holiday all over the world from tropical Islands to ski resorts and I never knew I could have such a memorable time so close to home. These guys have a real passion for what they do; we saw sites we’d never find on our own in a million years. Honestly, I wouldn’t risk traveling to Croatia with anyone else.

David Casterton, London

I am a hopeless sailor. I always think it is going to just be about getting cold and wet and shouting at to pull a rope. But with Sail Club Croatia all, I was expected to do was sunbathe on deck, eat a huge amount of food, and generally have a fabulous time. it was heaven. I am completely converted.

Clemmie Hambro, Freelance travel writer

Sail Club Croatia was absolutely superb from the moment I started to enquire about the holiday right to the end when they called once we were back to find out how our week was - First Class customer service. The suggested itinerary proved to be fantastic, right down to the various restaurant recommendations on different islands. The boat was immaculate, equipped with everything we could possibly need, and "Skippy" as we called him coped very admirably with 5 non-sailing girls! Croatia is a very special country and is best seen from the water.

Caroline Orr, London

Reality seldom exceeds one's dreams---Yet Sail Club Croatia met all our expectations and more, especially since it was our maiden week sail. As novices to sailing the personal attention prior to the sail, the day of the sail, and having our skipper Ms. Irina customize our daily adventures satisfied our every wish. From a beginner to advance sailor -- Sail Club Croatia’s personal attention to assuring one has a great holiday—one can not go wrong having this organization be your choice in charter companies.

È il secondo anno che noleggio il Salona 44 "Giordano Bruno" e confermo le ottime recensioni. Eccellenti qualità marine anche con mare formato e vento sui 35 nodi....una volta impostata la rotta e regolate bene le vele, mi ha fatto sentire sempre sicuro.

Meneguzzi Nicola, Italy

Basis perfekt gelegen. Nahe Flughafen und trotzdem ruhig. Keine Discos usw. Konsum und Lidl in Marschdistanz. Nette, rasche, professionelle Bootsübernahe und Abgabe. Boot ist gut in Schuss und segelt sehr gut. Platz ist Ausreichend für 7-8 Segler. Das Revier gefällt mir sehr gut. Viele schöne, einsahme Buchten auch in der Hochsaison.

Peter Joller, Switzerland

Sprawne przekazanie łodzi, szybka reakcja na uwagi dotyczące stanu technicznego , sprawne i bezproblemowe zdanie jachtu.

Wojciech Wódka, Poland

I came to Croatia with a crew total of 8, incl. children 4 & 2 YO. The boat was prepared almost perfectly (GPS failure is for me acceptable - there are maps for use), service was great, and we will definitely get back to the same company.

Przemek Kajak Wysota

We had an amazing week on Marco Polo end of June and the beginning of July. So much so that we have decided to complete our Day Skippers qualification so my son does not have to give me orders any longer. ( Just a little joke). We missed you at the Southampton Boat Show - I think we looked everywhere. A late thank you but your operation is inspiring and we have already recommended you to some friends. We look forward to chartering from you in the future. Thank you.

Martin Ruck, UK

Tante isole spettacolari Accoglienza e marina di grande livello. Una barca performante, sicura, spaziosa. In buone condizioni generali. Sia a sud che a nord di Split posti indimenticabili.

Marco La Monica, Italy

Thanks for good organization and contribution. The sailboat was great.

Gyula Bereny & Majsai T.Gyula

From the moment of arrival until the point of departure we felt like VIPs. We very much appreciate all that has been done on our behalf and thank you for the unexpected complimentary transfers to and from the airport. The technical team was also amazing in responding to correcting defects such as installing a temporary GPS and chart plotter as well as replacing the water pump which we found to be unsatisfactory due to very low pressure, as well as replacing the outboard in Rogoznica. As always, we had a fantastic time. Lots of sun this time and a little less wind. Our crew friends from the first week were very impressed with the arrangements and it is probable you may see them and their families as clients in due course. Once again, thank you to all the team at Sail Club Croatia who makes it all run so smoothly. A perfect way to spend our wedding anniversary.

Jonathan Millward, United Kingdom

Great team. We entered into our position, as the decision to rent was made right before the charter. Thank you very much for the work that has been done far in excess of one week.

Vladimir Skroba, Russia

 Ha sido una experiencia excelente por donde se quiera ver. En cuanto al velero, excelente, completisimo, en excelente estado, con ropa blanca nueva, elementos de cocina nuevos y completísimos, heladera con congelador, wifi todo el tiempo q navegamos, velas en muy buen estado, motor 10 puntos y el baño andaba perfecto. 

Hemos tenido un excelente servicio de la empresa local, inmejorables por profesionalismo, comprensión, acompañamiento, y nivel de detalle. En definitiva la experiencia ha superado nuestras espectativas. Navegar en Croacia partiendo de Split es muy lindo, el agua, los paisajes el clima y las diferentes islas con sus puertos. La marina está distante del centro de Split pero hay colectivo urbano y taxis disponibles. Hay un supermercado chico en la misma marina y otro más grande a 6 cuadras. Los vestuarios y baños muy buenos abiertos 24hs, en la marina hay bares, restaurante y estacionamiento para vehículos.

Estamos muy agradecidos por el excelente servicio, el velero y las instalaciones.

Advice for pleasant charter, part ii.

In our previous article we advised you on what to pay attention to when choosing sailing ground, period and company. When you have made those decisions, it is time to choose a boat, acquire necessary paperwork and, finally, check in.

Advice for pleasant charter, part I

Most people charter in summer. In winter, Adriatic Sea can be quite rough, so unless you are an experienced sailor looking for exciting sailing and solitude of islands in the winter, avoid winter sailing – it’s much easier in summer. In summer there are many other boats around you to help you in case you need it, the sea is calmer and the temperatures are high.

Explore and enjoy Croatia – ideas for charter

Nautical tourism certainly represents one of the most attractive forms of the overall tourism offer of the Republic of Croatia. We can rightfully say that Croatia, the land of a thousand islands and a beautiful, indented coastline, is a "haven for boaters".

How to get to Croatia

Croatia’s inland capital, Zagreb (ZAG), Split (SPU), and Dubrovnik (DBV) are the three main airports, though smaller airports operate regional flights during high season.

It’s worth checking smaller airports such as Rijeka Airport (RJK) and Pula Airport (PUY) as they often have direct European flights, too.

Train services are networked mainly inland, as opposed to along the coast, so if taking public transport we recommend taking the bus.

Our team consists mainly of very experienced sailors, securing the highest possible standard in the whole process with arranging/planning, booking, arrival at one of our charter bases in Croatia and final departure from the Marina for an unforgettable sailing adventure in Croatia.

As already mentioned, our yacht charter fleet consists mainly of sailing boats from Beneteau. In our fleet we have boats from 30 feet to about   64 feet and in terms of berths our boats offer space for 6-12 persons. All boats are carefully maintained by our technical team and the colleagues from Beneteau Croatia . As a charter client you can expect to board a charter boat in super condition.

Well, what is the wording – no rule without an exception ! Actually, we at Ultra Sailing also have Catamarans for charter ; the catamarans are of the brand Fountaine Pajot . If you rather want to rent a motorboat , mega yacht or other types of vessel our experienced booking team can of course assist you in finding vessels of those types.

From which charter bases in Croatia can the Ultra Sailing boats be rented?  Ultra has branch offices and staff in ACI Marina Split , ACI Marina Dubrovnik , Marina Baotic (Trogir) ,    ACI Marina Pomer in Pula and Marina Kastela . Charter boats have to be returned in the same Marina they were rented in. Upon request and payment of additional fee it is possible to arrange one way charter from Trogir/Split to Dubrovnik or vice versa . 

Charter price  depends on a number of factors, size and type of charter boat, duration of rental and date of the charter . At Ultra we offer various discount programs like early booking Yachtcharter   or last minute sailing if you are flexible it is possible to enjoy a week sailing holiday in Croatia at a bargain price.

If you are looking to charter a sailing boat in Croatia for the first time, you of course need to be aware of the formal requirements for chartering a yacht in Croatia , no need to say that a license for operating the vessel is required. Additionally, sailing and navigation skills should be on an adequate level. Detailed information about the exact requirements for chartering a yacht from Ultra Sailing in Croatia can be found on our page. If you don't have the necessary licenses, we can arrange a skipper or we can recommend considering the Ultra sailing school program where the necessary theoretical and practical sailing skills can be acquired to do a bareboat sailing .

The community's advice on the destination

Sailboat rental in croatia, charter a sailboat in croatia with or without a skipper.

Embarking on a sailing adventure along the captivating Croatian coast is a dream shared by sailors around the globe. SamBoat, a trusted platform, facilitates this dream by offering the opportunity to charter a sailboat in Croatia, allowing you the choice to sail with or without a skipper. The allure of the coastal beauty, the transparent waters of the Adriatic, and the enchanting historic port towns establish Croatia as one of the premier sailing destinations globally. This comprehensive guide aims to delve into the intricacies of sailing in Croatia, covering aspects such as the best time to set sail, costs, licensing requirements, and the irresistible charm of different routes.

Charter a sailboat in Croatia

Sailing along the Croatian coast reveals a Mediterranean paradise adorned with turquoise waters, vibrant islands, and picturesque port towns steeped in history. Chartering a sailboat provides the unique opportunity to explore pristine coves, witness breathtaking waterfalls, visit ancient forts, and immerse yourself in the lush scenery along the renowned Dalmatian Coast. Beyond its natural beauty, Croatia's appeal extends to its delectable cuisine and the warmth of its people, making it a destination that transcends the typical sailing experience.

How much does it cost to rent a sailboat in Croatia?

Understanding the cost of renting a sailboat in Croatia is crucial for planning your dream maritime adventure. The pricing varies depending on factors such as the month and duration of the rental. On average, daily rates hover around 450, while weekly rentals may cost approximately 3,700. The sailing season typically commences in late April and extends through the beginning of October. However, if you plan to charter a sailboat during the peak months of July and August, it's advisable to be prepared for slightly higher prices.

For those lacking sailing qualifications or experience, the option to rent a sailboat with a skipper is a viable and wise choice. A professional skipper not only ensures your safety but also acts as a local guide, unveiling hidden gems along the coast. Keep in mind that skipper services come with an additional fee, offering a valuable investment for a secure and enriched sailing experience.

Do I need a sailing license to sail in Croatia?

In Croatia, safety takes precedence when chartering a sailboat, necessitating the possession of proper licenses. A sailing license, coupled with a VHF radio license, is mandatory. Additionally, prospective sailors must provide a nautical CV detailing their previous experience and the waters they have navigated. These stringent measures are in place to ensure a secure and enjoyable sailing experience, especially considering the diverse and challenging conditions of the Adriatic.

When is the best time to sail in Croatia?

The best time to sail in Croatia is typically during the summer months, from May to September. This period offers warm and sunny weather, with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C) on average. The sea temperature is also comfortable for swimming and water activities.

May and September are considered shoulder seasons. During these months, the weather is still pleasant, but the crowds are smaller, and prices may be more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that the beginning and end of the season may have slightly cooler temperatures, especially in May.

July and August are the peak months for sailing in Croatia, as the weather is consistently warm and the sea conditions are generally calm. However, this is also the high tourist season, so popular destinations can be crowded.

Things to do in Croatia

Embarking on a sailboat charter in Croatia opens the door to exploring the sunniest coastline in Europe, offering a harmonious blend of history, culture, and gastronomy. The multitude of departure ports allows for a customized itinerary, enabling you to sail at your own pace and convenience.

Common embarkation points, such as Dubrovnik , serve as gateways to the fertile islands of Hvar , Korcula, Ston, Mljet, and Brac. A detour to Marina Agana provides the chance to witness the spectacular Krka Falls. Croatia's warm weather, refreshing breezes, and an abundance of UNESCO World Heritage sites make it an ideal destination for sailing enthusiasts seeking a multifaceted experience.

Catamaran Charter in Croatia

For those captivated by the enchanting sailing experience in Croatia, the recommendation is to return and elevate the adventure by renting a catamaran. Sailing in Croatia on a catamaran offers a different perspective, providing enhanced stability, spacious interiors, and a unique sailing experience. Whether it's the first time or a seasoned sailor's return, Croatia's diverse offerings promise an unforgettable maritime journey that transcends conventional expectations. The option to rent a catamaran opens new horizons, presenting an opportunity to explore hidden corners and indulge in unparalleled comfort on the azure waters of the Adriatic. The stability and spaciousness of catamarans offer a luxurious dimension to the sailing experience, enhancing the overall enjoyment of Croatia's coastal wonders.

In conclusion, chartering a sailboat in Croatia is not just a maritime escapade; it's a journey into a realm of beauty, culture, and history. SamBoat's offerings pave the way for an unforgettable adventure along the Croatian coast, where every wave carries the echoes of centuries-old tales and every port town invites you to immerse yourself in its unique charm. Whether you choose to sail with the wind as your guide or enlist the expertise of a skipper, Croatia's coastal allure is sure to leave an indelible mark on your seafaring soul. As you plan your Croatian sailing odyssey, consider the diverse routes, the optimal time to set sail, and the unique experiences that await in this maritime haven. Bon voyage!

• In order to sail a sailboat in Croatia, it is necessary to obtain an International Certificate of Competence for Inland and Coastal Waters. You or one of your crew members must also have a radio licence.
• Various airlines offer cheap flights to Croatia. Please note that there is a different airport for each island or base to which you can fly from Germany. If you have any questions about flights for your boating holiday, we will be happy to help you by phone or e-mail!
• If you are travelling by car, you will need a valid driving licence and your vehicle documents..
• You will need your identity card to enter Croatia.

Sailing conditions in the Adriatic Sea

The Adriatic coast is considered one of the most beautiful and varied coasts in Europe and therefore is a perfect choice for your Croatian sailboat excursion. Whether you want to go island hopping, plan extended voyages out at sea or long for a more land-based selection of activities - a sailboat rental in Croatia promises an unforgettable experience for everyone aboard.

In addition to its gorgeous coastline, Croatia's popularity as a sailing destination is due to its idyllic sailing conditions. Tourists are drawn to the Adriatic’s mild Mediterranean climate which boasts an average of 315 sunny days a year. The south in particular attracts a large number of visitors as there is consistent summer weather and bathing temperatures from April to October. Thanks to the varied coastal landscape, you will never get bored on board and a dense network of well-developed marinas and harbours allows for perfect sailing. However, anchoring for free is generally no longer possible due to the many buoy fields that charge fees.

The best time to rent a sailboat is during the warm, dry summer months between May and September. However, although the weather is mostly pleasant, sailors must be vigilant because the weather can change quickly in the Adriatic. The three winds, bora, maestral and sirocco (also jugo), are predominant on the Croatian coast.

What are the Adriatic coast’s dominant winds?

A dry, cold wind, mainly coming from the north or northeast.

Bora winds can occur in heavy gusts at any time of the year, but especially from April to October.

The wind speed varies from a light breeze to strong gale force winds.

A northwesterly thermal Seawind, which, like the Bora, is accompanied by beautiful weather and reaches an average strength of between 3-5 Beaufort.

Scirocco/Jugo

A warm, humid, east-south-easterly to south-south-easterly wind which blows along the entire Adriatic. It is normally accompanied by high swells, heavily overcast skies and persisten train. This wind is less dangerous than the Bora, as it never starts suddenly and blows rather steadily.

Since a significant part of the Mediterranean is in the European Union, this makes its destinations easily accessible to visit. It is easier to rent a boat in coastal destinations like Greece, Italy, France and Spain, while for island destinations like Malta, Sicily, Sardinia and Crete you need to travel further. But whether the departure base is in a large city centre, such as renting a boat from Athens, or one of the islands ( Dodecanese, Cyclades, Sporades or even the Caribbean), you will receive a uniform service because our partners adhere to standards that apply to chartering in the world.

Everyone can enjoy the cruise regardless of the nautical skills they possess. You can easily choose a cabin for rent on one of our cruise ships that sail on predetermined routes and departure dates. Most often such cruises last a week, but there are also shorter cruises lasting 3 days for those who have less time available. The types of cruise ships available to us may be different.

Cruises on wooden ships

We offer cruises on traditional wooden boats that can accommodate from approximately 20 to 40 people accommodated in cabins of two or three. On most of such wooden boats, each cabin has its own private bathroom with toilet and shower, and on the cheaper ones, there is at least a hand basin in the cabin. Sailing on a wooden ship certainly evokes the atmosphere of some ancient times when these same wooden ships carried passengers or precious cargo.

Cruises on modern vessels

This type of cruise offers greater comfort and more content because the ships used are usually slightly larger and newer. The cabins are more spacious, and each must have its own private bathroom with toilet and shower. Also the service on such cruises is richer. Guests can choose between cabins on the lower and upper decks, and on luxury cruisers there are VIP cabins with their own private balconies where you can relax and enjoy the sailing.

Shortly upon receiving your charter inquiry , we will send you a charter offer, according to your request and specific requirements. We will do our best to find an appropriate boat and make the best charter deal based on your preferences. Once you have selected the boat that best suits your needs, you can book the boat and conclude the lease agreement. More about boat reservation ...

“Relied on 12knots' team for 3 of my voyages”

I've relied on this 12knots' team for 3 of my voyages (Mexico, Tahiti and Croatia). Their website is very good to browse and they stand behind their portal. They are always fast to respond to questions/concerns. It is always a pleasure to deal with J…

“We tried to make the most of it, but it was far from ideal”

Hey Grigory, thanks for asking. The boat was not in good condition. For example, there were no mooring, deck or motoring lights, so we feared a boat would hit us while we slept, and were not complying with the law while sailing at night. The anchor w…

“Everything was great! The boat was perfect for our needs”

Dear Grigory, Everything was great! The boat was perfect for our needs and the skipper, Slavin, was really friendly. The only downside was that the boat was late getting ready - 6:30pm - but we were still able to make it out of port that night so in …

Sailing Croatia

Without a doubt, Croatia can be described as one of the best  kept secrets of the European sailing destinations. Sheltered by the  chain of the Dinaric Alps, its endless coastline is covered with  pristine beaches and charming medieval towns. A Croatia yacht charter is  a wonderful choice whether you are looking for a relaxed sailing  vacation with your family, or an exiting sailing adventure with your  friends. This region has many secluded islands and islets, along with a  wide variety of comfortable marinas. You can choose a boat charter in  Croatia with easy hops or longer, more challenging passages.

A Croatian sailing vacation offers a wonderful chance to explore  ancient ruins and historic cities, to stay for a night in a secluded  anchorage, or to visit traditional fishing villages - all of this in one  of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe.

Yachting is one of the most popular forms of recreation in Croatia,  thus numerous catamarans and sailboats can be seen all over the  coastline. Croatia yacht charters are well developed. Here you will find  one of the biggest European chains of modern marinas with berths for  yachts and catamarans from 30 to over 100 feet long. Anchorages,  moorings, and marinas have all the necessary amenities and are located  within a few miles of one another. In addition, while sailing in Croatia  you will find many free moorings near family restaurants where you can  sample local wines and fresh seafood right on board your own yacht.

The Adriatic coastline can be divided into three counties: Istria,  Central Dalmatia and South Dalmatia. Yacht charters in Croatia are  available all along the coast. Below are some useful tips for selecting a  boat rental in Croatia that will help you find the perfect time and  place for your dream sailing trip.

North Croatia Sailing – Istria County

July to the middle of September is the best time for a yacht  charter in the northern part of Croatia. During this season the water is  warm and most days are sunny, while the prevailing wind is mild  mistral. In early spring and late autumn this area may be prone to bora,  strong local northeastern winds.

One of the most convenient places to start a North Croatia yacht  charter is in Pula, the city closest to the international airport.

During your sailing vacation in the northern region of Istria, we  recommend a visit to the former Tito`s state summer residence, his  favorite safari park in the Brijuni Islands, to walk under the ancient  pines of Mali Losinj and to sail under the picturesque Cres Island  bridge. The stunning view of the ancient Rovigno City and its main  landmark, St. Euphemia Basilica, can be seen only from the water. If you  are looking for a more challenging sailing passage in Croatia, you may  like to head from Pula directly to Venice. Within a several hour journey  you will find yourself along the Italian coast.

Southern Croatia boat rentals – Dubrovnik County

Since ancient times Croatia has had great strategic importance,  thus over the centuries various civilizations and cultures have left  part of their legacy and influence, creating a rich and diverse culture.

Sailing along the southern Adriatic Coast of Croatia is recommended  for sailors with moderate to good sailing experience. In this part of  the country, good weather and fair winds last longer into the season, so  you can explore the sights and enjoy the beauty of the Adriatic coast  until late autumn. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with hot, dry  summers and cool, wet winters.

Dubrovnik sailing vacations

A yacht charter in Dubrovnik, the southernmost region of  Croatia, offers a great variety of comfortable marinas and secluded  moorings. The medieval city of Dubrovnik is called the "Pearl of the  Adriatic" and because of its long history of maritime trade, has played  an important role since ancient times. Today its blend of historic  architecture and modern cafes and nightlife make it a fascinating  destination.

The rugged coast south of Croatia is a great choice for sailors who  value stunning scenery and historical sites more than the distance  passed. What could be better than having breakfast on board your yacht  near an ancient fortress of an old town

During a yacht charter in Croatia, you won't want to miss a visit to  Mljet National Park and the golden island of Sipan. There you will find  stunning vistas of the Dalmatian Islands and enjoy a landscape covered  with orange and tangerine trees, palms, agaves, Renaissance parks,  flower gardens and medieval stone buildings.

Sailing in Split area

The Split area is one of the most popular Croatia yacht charter  destinations. Located only 10 minutes from the airport, it attracts  sailors from all over the Europe. A Split yacht charter is an easy  starting point for a sailing vacation in Croatia, with open access to  the most stunning destinations and secluded islands.

Within a 7-day Croatia yacht charter you will be able to visit Hvar,  an island popular for its exclusive cafes and bars on the Adriatic,  learn how to extract marble on the island of Bra, visit famous Korula  island, the birthplace of Marco Polo, and soak up history and culture  with Renaissance cathedrals and ancient monuments while walking the  ancient streets of Trogir.

When sailing in the Split area do not miss a chance to visit the  waterfalls located in Krk National Park, a gorgeous destination any time  of year.

Overall, a Croatia yacht charter offers an ideal mix of history,  exquisite Mediterranean cuisine and unforgettable sailing opportunities.  With excellent infrastructure, short passages and calm waters, Croatia  yacht charters rival any other sailing destinations in the world.

It is also a perfect country for those who are looking for an unforgettable sailing adventure in Europe.
