Boat types

SAILING BOATS

Choose Your Sailing Boat:

• Bareboat Sailing: If you're an experienced sailor, you can go for a bareboat charter, where you’re in charge of the vessel. You’ll get to navigate and explore Croatia’s stunning coastlines at your own pace.

• Crewed Sailing: For those who prefer a more relaxed experience or don’t have the required sailing skills, crewed boats are a fantastic option. You’ll have a professional crew onboard to handle the navigation, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.

2. Type of Experience:

• Day Trip: You can book a day trip if you want a taste of sailing without committing to a longer journey. Explore nearby islands, enjoy lunch on deck, or go swimming in secluded coves.

• Weeklong Cruise: For those wanting a more immersive experience, a weeklong cruise will give you plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian islands, from Hvar to Korčula and beyond, stopping at charming villages and beautiful beaches along the way.

• Sailing Race: If you're up for a challenge and love competitive sailing, Croatia hosts several sailing races like the Croatia Cup and Vliška Regatta, where you can participate in a more adrenaline-pumping adventure.

3. Charter Bases:

Croatia has popular charter bases like Split, Dubrovnik, and Zadar. These spots are perfect starting points for exploring the coast, with lots of options for both bareboat and crewed charters.

4. Booking:

Once you’ve decided on the type of boat and experience you want, the team at Yachting in Croatia can provide more detailed information about the boats available and help with your booking. They’ll also guide you through the paperwork, the charter process, and anything else you might need to know about sailing in the region.

CATAMARANS

Catamarans have really become the go-to choice for many travelers exploring Croatia, and for good reason! Their popularity has surged due to their modern design, comfort, and space—perfect for those who want to combine yachting with luxury. Here’s why they’re so appealing for a Croatian sailing trip:

Why Choose a Catamaran for Yachting in Croatia?

1. Stability and Comfort:

   • Catamarans are known for their stability, which makes them a great option for people who might be a bit nervous about sailing. They’re much less likely to rock or tip than a monohull, which means a smoother ride and a more comfortable stay.
   • Their spaciousness is another huge advantage. With two hulls, there's a lot more room for cabins, a larger saloon, and plenty of deck space for relaxing, dining, or sunbathing. It’s perfect for families or groups who want comfort and freedom while exploring Croatia's coast.

2. Modern Design:

   • Many of the top catamaran brands like Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot, and Nautitech offer sleek, contemporary designs with luxury finishes. These boats are built for both performance and relaxation, so you can enjoy the scenery and navigate the waters in style.

3. Choice of Crewed or Bareboat:

   • Bareboat Charters: If you're an experienced sailor, you can take a bareboat catamaran for a more independent experience. You’ll have full control of the boat and can plan your own course along Croatia’s coast, hopping between islands.
   • Crewed Charters: For a more luxurious experience, you can choose a crewed catamaran. This typically includes a skipper (who knows the best routes and can handle navigation) and often a hostess or chef who takes care of meals and the comfort of guests, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time at sea. This option takes a lot of the stress out of the equation, especially if you're new to sailing or want a more laid-back vacation.

4. Ideal for Socializing:

   • The spacious deck and large saloon make catamarans perfect for social gatherings. Whether you're dining outside, enjoying drinks at sunset, or lounging on the trampoline nets, there’s plenty of space to spend time together with your friends or family.

5. Flexible Itineraries:

   • Booking a catamaran with the Yachting in Croatia team means you’ll have access to a wide variety of options at key yacht charter bases along the coast (like Split, Dubrovnik, or Zadar). You can customize your sailing experience and choose the best routes for exploring the stunning Croatian islands like Hvar, Korčula, and Vis.

Perfect for Families and Groups:

With so much space, both private cabins and common areas, catamarans are a great fit for families or groups of friends who want to share a special experience on the water. Everyone gets their own space while still being able to come together for meals or socializing.

It sounds like a catamaran could be the perfect choice for a comfortable, luxurious sailing experience in Croatia!
