What better way to enjoy a holiday than sailing in the Adriatic Sea. This guided sailing tour allows you to book a private sailboat for your group. The boat comes with a skipper, so you do not need to pilot the boat, just enjoy the incredible Croatian coast, spending days exploring islands, towns, coves and swimming in the Sea.
Croatia is renowned for its heavenly islands in the Adriatic Sea; in fact, several regattas occur in this country every year. And if you’re a sailing enthusiast who also likes celebrating on the water, you’ve probably heard of Sail Week. This sailing adventure tour gives you a taste of life on the water!
The archipelago off the coast of Croatia boasts an exceptional array of islands to visit. This 5-day sailing tour will bring you to some of the most spectacular spots, uninhabited island gems, and two National Parks. You embark from Split and sail around the Dalmatian area, berthing in some of the best marinas in the country.
You can customize this tour to suit your preferences. Do you want an authentic nautical experience on a standard sailboat? Or are you looking for a tour where you can relent responsibility, have food service, and just relax? Either way, you’ll find a vessel to suit your needs. You’re the master of this tour!
On a sailing adventure, be prepared to live at sea, noting that you’ll be subject to the motion of the waves for the duration of the tour. During the trip, guests are responsible for their activities. Some fixed itineraries include snorkelling, as listed below, but you can customize this tour to your preferences. The following itinerary is an example of a 5-day tour; that said, these itineraries are flexible, and you can charter a boat for as long as you want!

Why do I need to pay marina and mooring fees?
Spending a night (or even a day) in a marina is an important part of sailing: not only it gives a safe shelter for your boat, but it also lets you explore the local villages and replenish the supplies. However, it comes with a fee that depends on many factors: the marina’s location, season, and the size of your boat. In some cases, these visits are hard to predict or plan for, so please do not be disappointed with your skipper if you need to dock in the marina in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances – your safety is the most important part of your trip.
How much should I budget for marina and mooring fees?
There are many factors that affect the mooring prices. Every marina has its own pricing policies that are affected mostly by the season and boat size. Below are some examples of the mooring fees (please don’t take them as final costs as they might): Low season: 37 feet boat: 42€ - 90€ per night/per boat 42 feet boat: 48€ - 95€ per night/per boat 45 feet boat: 51€ - 115€ per night/per boat 50 feet boat: 57€ - 135€ per night/per boat High season: 37 feet boat: 45€ - 115€ per night/per boat 42 feet boat: 50€ - 125€ per night/per boat 45 feet boat: 55€ - 150€ per night/per boat 50 feet boat: 61€ - 175€ per night/per boat However, if you are blessed with a combination of beyond perfect weather and good forecasts for an upcoming couple of days, your skipper might make a decision to anchor in a cove for the night which is free of charge!
