Excellent activity. We loved it and Danko was a wonderful guide. He adapted to the group and the weather conditions. A very nice memory.

Delphine, October 2023

Superb experience, I recommend. I did this with my 80 year old grandmother, the guide was very attentive, the same with the small child also present on board. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Excellent! Our super attentive guide with all the relevant information about the history of the islands.

Maria, October 2023

We were super lucky and got a private tour for two people! The guide responded individually to our wishes! Hiking shoes are important! Great trip!

Lisa, October 2023

Excellent! Good guide, interesting, informative tours. Visited 3 islands: one tiny, one small, one big.

Yaron, October 2023

Although it was a bit choppy, skipper drove so professionally that we did not feel the effects. He made sure that we had the best views of the Sunset, which was one of the most stunning I have ever seen! He then took us around the city explaining some of its history. He also made sure our glasses were topped up throughout! What an amazing experience! Thank you!

Pam, September 2023

This is a MUST DO activity! The sunset was absolutely gorgeous and we also got a wonderful history about Zadar from our tour guide. The Prosecco was such a nice bonus to relax and enjoy the city. 10/10.

Marisa, September 2023

Danko was an excellent host. He balanced providing interesting information with allowing us quiet time to enjoy the lovely views perfectly. He was quick to top up our glasses and happy to answer any questions. A perfect evening

Guest, September 2023

The guide was very nice and helpful, knew his way around and gave us an authentic tour of the city from the water.

Maximilian, September 2023

This was a really fantastic day. Lots of beautiful sightseeing and incredible information about our sail. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Zada. Danko was the best skipper and was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Georgie, September 2023

Very nice and interesting tour. We were able to explore 3 islands within 4 hours, which flew by. First Danko told us interesting information and then we had free time to swim, walk or eat. The speedboat was really cool 👏🏼☺️

Klaudius, September 2023

Exciting historical facts. In-depth knowledge and detailed explanations from the tour guide. We were able to tailor the tour to our individual wishes. Driving the boat was a lot of fun. The stop for swimming and snorkeling was especially great. Generally a nice tour.

Viola, September 2023

Due to rain we were unable to do anything on the beach, which was certainly not necessary for me. However, Danko had provided alternatives so that we could certainly fill the 4 hours. At the end we could taste local liqueur and grappa, with an expert explanation of how these were made. Nice trip with a great guide!

Fantastic. Wonderful speedboat wit Prosecco and amazing sunsets. 5 stars

Julie, September 2023

We had a great time. Danko takes the time to explain the history of the city to us through the monuments without overdoing it. It was very pleasant and the wine was delicious. I highly recommend this activity if you are a fan of sunsets.

Jennifer, September 2023

We went on this trip - 2 adults and 2 teenagers - not knowing what to expect, but had an amazing 4 hours. Danka is a superb skipper and brilliant guide. He made this an enjoyable and informative trip for us all. The islands are also beautiful.

Lauren, September 2023

Above expectations. Great guide, wonderful boat. Definitely a recommendation

Really nice. We had a great time. Great welcome. Select committee therefore top. The awesome guide 😀

11. From Zadar: Full-Day Boat Trip to Sakarun Beach with Lunch

⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 12 hours | Check it out!

The Zadar to Sakarun beach day trip is one of the most popular boat trips in Zadar.

Sakarun Beach is famous as it is one of the only sandy beaches in the Zadar area.

The beach is hard to reach if you don’t have a car, so joining a boat excursion is a good way to get there. 

Unlike other tours on this list, this tour is mostly just a transfer. You’ll take a boat to the port near the beach, and then a bus to the beach. You’ll have about 5 hours to spend on the beach and enjoy the water, before heading back.

Breakfast and small lunch are included, but they don’t accommodate dietary restrictions so bring your own food if you’re vegan.

I know it’s annoying paying for something you won’t use, so you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons.

“ Simply beautiful, you have to experience and see it once. About an hour by boat then in groups to the bus station and 5 minutes down to the beach !” – GetYourGuide traveler, Austria (read more reviews )

FAQ: Boat Trips From Zadar, Croatia

Most Zadar boat excursions depart from the city center, from the main Zadar port on Liburnska Obala. Some boat trips can depart from other spots along the coast, so make sure to check the exact departure spot when booking your tour!

No, you don’t need to join a tour to visit islands around Zadar. If you have enough time, and you’re only interested in visiting one or two islands, you can take a ferry and spend a day exploring the island. Joining a tour ensures you easily visit multiple islands and relax on the trip instead of figuring out public transport.

Read some reviews of our tours

We‘ve had a truly amazing time and the trip definitely exceeded our expectations. The itinerary is great, a bit of swimming, a bit of hikking and lots of chill. It’s been the best 4 hours spent on a boat and great value for money. The area we visited is truly beautiful. The skipper Šime is really cool, he gave us good recommendations, he was very helpful and accommodating, we didn’t feel rushed at all. Last but not least, easy contact via google chat and WhatsApp.

Fantastično, odličan domaćin! Sve pohvale! Izvanredno iskustvo!

We had an amazing day on the boat! Sime was very friendly and made sure we were super comfortable. The boat itself was beautiful as well. We made a few stops on the islands, enjoyed the nature there and went for a swim. Sime really took our wishes into account and made sure the schedule was flexible. I would definitely recommend!

Lovely boat trip around Zadar, highly recommended! We made three stops, one of them by a tiny nearby island that you can explore on foot. Our guide was very thorough and told us many stories about the area and life on the islands, and you can tell he really loves what he does which is amazing! Will definitely go again if we are ever back in Zadar.

Proces rezervacije je brz i jednostavan, a Ante izuzetno susretljiv. Sami izlet je bio odličan, poslužilo nas je lijepo vrijeme pa smo mogli uživati cijeli dan. Preporučujem svima željnima sunca, mora i bijega iz gradskog života.

Zadar boat tours: The Best 6 Boat trips and excursions

There is a saying that Zadar has as many islands as there are days in one year. Zadar really has an amazing geographical position, it is located in the heart of the Adriatic Sea and is a place where combines outstanding nature and mild Mediterranean climate. Zadar region with an archipelago of over 300 islands is an ideal destination for all those who like to spend the time the sea and adventurers who want to discover hidden beaches, charming fishing villages or uninhabited islands.

Find out which are the best 6 Zadar boat tours in which  you will discover the most beautiful locations, pick one tour for yourself and let the experienced crew take care of you during your sea adventure.

1. Full-day boat trip to Kornati National park and Telašćica Nature park

Enjoy a relaxing boat ride through the numerous islands, islets and reefs of the Zadar Riviera and meet the most indented group of islands in the Mediterranean – Kornati National Park. Kornati National park consists of 89 uninhabited islands, and the name of the park comes from the Latin word “corona” which means crown. According to legend, God created the Kornati islands from white rocks that remained unused after the creation of the world. He threw them into the sea, looked at them, and concluded that there was nothing he should fix. That was the crown of his work. During the full day trip to the Kornati and Telašćica National Park you will get to know the unusual islands of the Kornati archipelago (such as Tanjurić – looking like a small plate), and you will stop at the Telašćica Nature Park where you will be able to enjoy the bay with crystal clear sea. If you are adventurous, head to the famous “Rocks”, the largest cliff on the Adriatic that reaches a height of 161 m. There is also a salt lake in the park, which has a higher salinity than the nearby sea, while the healing mud from the lake is rich in minerals and believed to have healing properties. The boat departs from Zadar in the morning, and you will return to Zadar in the afternoon, around 17:30.

2. Full-day tour to Kornati and Telašćica with a speed-boat

A full day trip by fast boat to Telašćica and Kornati is a real sea adventure during which you will get to know the best of Telašćica and Kornati, and you will enjoy a speedboat ride that can accommodate a maximum of 12 people. First you will stop in Telašćica in the bay Mir and experience everything it has to offer: clear sea, highest cliffs in the Adriatic and a salt lake. You will then hop on a boat and the skipper will take you to the next stop, the island of Mana in the Kornati National Park. There you will discover the famous cliffs for which the Kornati are famous, but also the remains of a rustic village built in stone for the film made during the 60’s when the island of Mana served as a movie scene and represented a Greek island. After that you will stop on the largest island in the park, the island of Kornat and you will see the mysterious fortress of Tureta. Then follows the island of Levrnaka, with deeply cut bays and the beautiful sandy beach of Lojena. On your way back, you will stop in Sali, a fishing village on Dugi otok and then return to Zadar.

3. Half-day tour to Kornati National park and Telašćica with a speed boat

If you can’t spend the whole day on a trip, and still do not want to miss the opportunity to visit the Kornati and Telašćica, then a half-day trip by fast boat is the right choice for you. The trip lasts 4.5 hours and you will see the magnificent cliffs in the Telašćica Nature Park and stop on the island of Levrnaka, where you will enjoy the turquoise sea of the sandy bay Lojena.

4. Full-day boat tour to Sakarun beach from Zadar

If you want to visit the most famous beach in Zadar, the sandy bay Sakarun at the best price with breakfast and lunch included, then a full day boat trip from Zadar to Sakarun beach is the right thing for you. Sakarun is a magical bay with fine white sand and turquoise sea located in the northern part of Dugi otok. This beach is included in the club of 25 most beautiful beaches in the world. During the boat ride you will enjoy spending time on a comfortable modern boat with an air-conditioned lounge, while the upper deck is serves as a sundeck.

5. Half-day tour to Sakarun with a speed boat from Zadar

A half-day trip to Sakarun from Zadar is specially created for all those who want to enjoy the turquoise lagoon, with white sand and crystal clear sea and have just 4,5 hours of free time. You will love swimming in the warm sea of a unique turquoise color, relax in the shade of pine trees or refresh yourself with a cocktail in the nearby beach bar. During the trip you will stop at the place where the sunken cargo ship is located and you will be able to dive with the fish.

6. Full-day tour to Dugi otok with a speed boat from Zadar

A full day trip to Dugi otok with a fast boat from Zadar will reveal the best of this unique island. During the trip you will visit the highest lighthouse on the Adriatic and the picturesque Veli Rat. You will swim on the beautiful sandy beach Sakarun and on the undiscovered beach Veli Žal which has an incredibly transparent sea of beautiful blue color.

Zadar Sailing Trips: A Complete Guide to Boat Tours, Courses, Sail Schools, and Yacht Charter, in Zadar, Croatia

Thinking about taking a sailing trip in Zadar?

We spent months sailing in the north of Croatia in the Zadar Archipelago and discovered everything you need to know about Zadar sailing trips.

At the beginning of 2022, we traveled to Zadar, Croatia, to buy a sailboat , learn to sail, and spend a season sailing the Adriatic Sea. After four years of traveling by van, we were excited about our sea change. But there was one problem… we didn’t know how to sail.  So, we set about finding a sailing instructor to show us the ropes (so to speak) and teach us to sail. In doing so, we learned all about sailing Zadar and the fantastic range of Zadar sailing trips, tours, courses, and experiences available. 

For those looking for a Croatian sailing experience, Zadar offers something for everyone. Take a Zadar sailing trip or tour, learn to sail, upgrade your qualifications or charter your own private yacht. The number and variety of Zadar sailing trips are practically endless.

What’s so Great About Sailing Zadar Croatia

The beautiful city of Zadar in northern Dalmatia is one of Croatia’s oldest cities and the perfect place to start your Croatian sailing adventure.

The pretty, historic old town sits behind world heritage-listed stone walls that date back to the 12th century. Within the fortifications lies a maze of narrow, cobblestoned streets weaving between old sandstone buildings with red-tiled rooves, recalling its Roman origins. The port city has a long maritime history that stretches back into antiquity.

Today, it has become a popular tourist destination for Croatians, Europeans, and visitors from all over the world. The bustling town comes alive in the summertime with markets, restaurants, cafes, and bars that spill out into the picturesque streets.

Off the coast of the city, the group of islands that form the Zadar Archipelago features striking landscapes and quaint villages.

You’ll find uninhabited islands with hidden bays and crystal clear waters, and national parks teeming with life and brimming with beauty. Pods of dolphins frolic in the water interacting with sailboats, all the while seabirds wheel overhead. 

The larger islands here are scattered with picturesque settlements, tiny villages, and historic medieval buildings. Like the rest of the Croatian Adriatic, the coast and islands off Zadar offer a sailor’s paradise. In addition to the stunning natural beauty and storied history, the islands provide optimal sailing conditions without swell, tides, or dangerous unmarked reefs. What’s more, consistent and mostly predictable weather patterns prevail here, making planning relatively straightforward and safe. With so much to recommend about this famous sailing ground, it is little wonder that there are plenty of options when it comes to choosing your own Zadar sailing adventure.

Before you set sail, be sure to wander the beautifully preserved and historic old town, walk along the quay and see the ferries and cruise ships, as well as the famous sea organ, and enjoy the vibrant dining and bar scene Zadar has to offer.

Choosing Your Zadar Sailing Trip

As with the rest of the Croatian coastline, Zadar is mad about sailing. People travel from all over Europe and around the world to sail here. As a result, there is a variety of options when it comes to sailing experiences on offer in this port city.

Whether you are looking for a sunset cruise chartered by a local skipper, to rent your own boat and set sail into the Zadar Archipelago by yourself, or anything in between, you’ll find it in Zadar.

Listed below are just some of the Zadar sailing tours, trips, and itineraries available.

Multi-day tours can be designed around your preferences to ensure your Zadar sailing experience is tailored perfectly to what you want.

Whether you would prefer to leisurely sail from village to village, sampling new restaurants and cafes each day, or get off-grid and lost in Kornati National Park enjoying islands, and coves all to yourself.

Circumnavigate the entire Zadar Archipelago or aim to sail less and spend your time relaxing, swimming, and fishing.

The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours on a multi-day sailing trip in Zadar.

Sailing Courses

If you are looking for a more hands-on experience that will see you not only tour Zadar’s beautiful islands and dramatic coastline but get on the tiller and learn to sail or upgrade your skills, there are courses to suit any skill level, budget, and timeframe.

Sailing courses are designed to give you hands-on experience in a controlled environment.

Sailing School Zadar

Sailing schools offer a structured environment to upgrade your sailing skills and qualifications. Sailing schools in Zadar offer courses with set goals and outcomes in mind and use a combination of theoretical classroom-based learning and practical training in the beautiful waters of the Adriatic.

Private Sailing Instruction Zadar

Private Boat Charter Zadar

Chartering your own boat is one of the best ways to experience the Zadar archipelago, Croatia, and the Adriatic Sea.

Explore at your own pace, create your own itinerary and your own ideal holiday. Croatia is one of the most popular places in the world to charter a boat as it is beautiful, enjoys fantastic weather in summer, and is relatively safe.

With so many boats bobbing around the Adriatic, it is easy to find one to charter. However, given Croatia’s enormous popularity as a sailing ground in summer, to secure the boat you want it is recommended to book early!

Yachting.com offers a list of boats available for charter, with or without a skipper.

Bare Boat Charter Zadar without Skipper

Zadar is a great place to charter a rental boat with family or friends. If you are an experienced sailor with the minimum certifications you can rent a boat and skipper it yourself in Zadar. Croatia issues its own skippers ticket but also recognizes marine qualifications from many places around the world. The Croatian Ministry of Maritime Affairs has a list of the nautical qualifications recognized in Croatia .

Bareboat charter in Zadar, without skipper, crew, or provisions starts from around €70 per day for a smaller (<30 ft), older (pre-1990s) in low season through to modern yachts over 50 feet which can cost well over a thousand euro per day in high season.

Boat Charter with Skipper in Zadar

If you don’t have the experience, the qualifications, or the inclination to sail yourself, but are still interested in an independent, self-directed sailing holiday in Zadar, hiring a skipper along with a boat is simple here. Simply put in a request when enquiring about a charter boat and you will be put in touch with a professional skipper.

The cost of a skipper is generally about €200 per day, they will need a private cabin onboard and food.

What to See When Sailing Zadar Croatia

Once you set sail from Zadar, the opportunities are endless.

The Zadar Archipelago is made up of 15 major islands and hundreds of smaller ones. Each offers a multitude of bays, beaches, coves, traditional villages, and uninhabited islands to explore.

While the number of things to do and see on the seas around Zadar is limitless there are some key experiences that belong on any sailing tour in Zadar.

Kornati National Park

The protected nautical paradise of Kornati National Park includes 80+ islands and is one of Croatia’s most popular marine recreational areas featuring diving, sailing, camping & hiking.

Ugland is not only the closest island to Zadar it is also the largest of the Zadar islands. Perhaps most importantly, it is regarded as the Olive Island of Zadar.

The island is covered with thousands of olive trees and produces some of the best olive oil in the region. The small village of Muline is the best place to uncover the ancient traditions of olive oil making on the island of Ugland.

Outside of its abundance of olive trees, Ugland has many cycling routes, monasteries, churches, and views over beautiful bays. One could easily spend an active weekend soaking in the Croatian lifestyle on this Zadar island.

Island villages do not come more charming or more authentic than Veli Iž. Trapped in time, not much has changed here but that is exactly why you should visit. Stroll through the streets, take a walk along the sea wall, and dine on fresh seafood. This quiet and authentic town is definitely worth a stop on your Zadar sailing trip.

Another charming, quaint village, in the Zadar archipelago, is Sali. Sali has a bit more going on than Veli Iž (complete with a nightclub that operates during the summer season). Sali is also a great jumping-off point for Kornati National Park which you will definitely not want to miss when sailing Zadar.

One of the most famous beaches in the Zadar region, Sakarun is located on the island of Dugi Otok. Its popularity is perhaps due to the fact that the beach is in fact white silica sand, a sight more common in the Caribbean than on the coast of Croatia. It is a great place to spend an afternoon taking long beach walks, swimming in the crystal clear water, and basking in the Croatian sun.

To the north of Zadar, one of the price jewels of the Zadar Archipelago is the island of Pag. This narrow island is home to one of Croatia’s most prized products, Pag cheese (Paski Sir) made with sheep’s milk.

The island of Pag may also sound familiar as it is home to one of Croatia’s most notable party beaches, Zrce. Zrce comes to life during the summer with regular music festivals featuring international DJs making it the place to be for people looking to party in Croatia.

More FAQs About Zadar Sailing Trips

How Much Does it Cost to Take a Zadar Sailing Trip?

What’s the Best Time to Take a Sailing Trip in Zadar?

Sailing in Croatia during the summer months is extremely popular. We recommend booking a sailing trip in Zadar during May or September. During this time you can expect to find fewer crowds and cooler temperatures. Coming earlier or later may mean that many of the restaurants, bars, and other activities are closed. We originally visited Zadar in April and there were only a handful of places open. When we returned in May, the city was buzzing with energy and people.

Can I Take Children on a Sailing Tour in Zadar?

Absolutely. Children will absolutely love a sailing trip in Zadar. One of the benefits of sailing in the Adriatic Sea and the protection of the islands is that it is (generally) relatively calm when compared to sailing in the open ocean.

Make sure you discuss with your tour operator which tour is best suited for keeping children comfortable and safe!

In 2016, I had been dumped by my girlfriend, fired from my job, and the lease on my house was running out. Facing moving back in with my parents, 26, jobless and alone I decided to listen to the message the universe was trying to send me. I took off on my first solo backpacking trip, with a one-way ticket to Bangkok and a well-thumbed Lonely Planet guide. From there I wandered Southeast and Central Asia, traveled the Great Steppe, and made my way across Russia and throughout Europe.

In Estonia I met Kelli, who, despite having a less frantic travel style, shared my my restless spirit and passion for exploration. Together, we embarked on a new journey, van life. Over four years we travelled across three different continents with three different vans.

In 2022, as the world began to re-open post COVID we took an opportunity to realise a long held dream, to live aboard a sailboat. Since then we have spent two summers in the Mediterranean, sailing and living aboard our little sail boat Whisper. When we aren't sailing we continue to live our nomadic lifestyle, guided by a philosophy of slow travel and self directed adventure be it by van or backpacking.

We find excitement through our journey into the unknown, stillness and content in the beauty of the places we discover and we find ourselves in the vastness of our world.

Hopefully, we can help you find what you're looking for too. Get lost with us and find your own path.

Boat Tour Reviews

An experience like no other.

We booked for half day trip to Kornati and it was an incredible experience! The journey took just over an hour, travelling down the coast before arriving at a small port on Kornati. After a very short walk we arrived at a breathtaking beach, which had no more than 20 people on it. The sea is crystal clear, with the feeling you’ve almost rented a private island! This is definitely the best way to visit Kornati!

We wanted to experience Kornati to the fullest and thanks to this tour, we managed to do just that. So many beautiful spots to swim in and the sea is perfectly clear. Only 10 of us on the boat so it was super comfortable. Doing it again for sure :)

Unforgettable afternoon

Perfect tour for a short getaway. We had a smaller group, so it was really comfortable on board. Loved the beautiful Lojena beach where we spent most of the time swimming and sunbathing ,and Kornati was breathtaking!

We had a lovely tour with only six passengers. Luca, the guide, was fantastic. Four of us were not sunbathing types so he was very kind and took us to a bar for a gin and tonic! Loved it. Thank you very much

Amazing trip and great skipper

We booked a private tour as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and it was excellent. The staff were really helpful and informative. The boat was great but most of all the scenery was stunning. After 1.5 hours on the boat we reach a beautiful little beach which was perfect. Can’t thank them enough for an amazing experience, once not to be missed
