Sailing in Croatia: A beginner’s guideEverything you need to know about sailing in Croatia ![Mljet Mljet](https://media.timeout.com/images/106104531/750/422/image.jpg) To explore Croatia by sea is to reveal its true secrets. Croatia has it all – the range of sailing options, the spectacular scenery, the unspoiled bays, the myriad islands and, most importantly, clear, calm and clean waters around them. Europe’s finest sailing playground is affordable, relatively safe (at sea and on shore) and contains a diversity of destinations for all kinds of visitors. Novice sailors can charter a boat with a qualified skipper, potter around the islands, and find out as much, or as little, about sailing as they'd like. Those who are serious about learning to sail, or improving their skills, can take a course at one of the sailing schools. Sailors of varying abilities, wanting the security and bonhomie of a group, can join a flotilla holiday. If your party includes someone with a skipper’s ticket there’s a multitude of charter options, with yachts and motorboats, while high rollers can take a fully crewed luxury yacht, classic or contemporary, and cruise the party hotspots. ![yacht mooring fees croatia Telaščica on Kornati](https://media.timeout.com/images/105513974/image.jpg) Where to goIt’s surprising how much you can see in a week. The diverse appeal of Croatia’s 2,000 islands, islets and reefs, together with the varied mainland ports and anchorages, will leave you wanting to come back for more. In the north, the Istrian peninsula and Kvarner Bay have a high concentration of marinas and a more cosmopolitan feel than Dalmatia, due to the pervasive Italian influence. If gastronomy and culture are important, this may be your cruising area. Stunning and newly popular islands such as Lošinj, Rab and Brijuni are a magnet for luxury yachts. Kornati is easily reached from the marinas at Zadar, Biograd and Murter. For tranquil wilderness, start from here. With its 152 islands, islets and rocks, the Kornati archipelago is the densest group of islands in the Med. It can be tricky sailing, and the navigator will be working hard counting off the islands and watching out for rocks, but for peace and quiet, it's hard to beat the rugged lunar landscape and deserted bays. Notable restaurants are geared to provide passing sailors and their passengers with good grilled sea bass or steak. The islands around Šibenik are pretty special too – less barren and remote but still largely undiscovered. On the mainland, Skradin’s ACI marina, 12km upstream from Šibenik, on the River Krka, is a favourite for sailors who want to explore the waterfalls. Tribunj Marina near Vodice and Marina Frapa are two of Croatia’s classier examples, situated in quiet fishing villages. Croatia’s first dedicated superyacht marina and resort area sits near Šibenik, the D-Resort. ![yacht mooring fees croatia Cavtat](https://media.timeout.com/images/106104542/image.jpg) Central Dalmatia meets the requirements of most holidaymakers, starting with the marinas and charter bases within easy reach of Split airport. Brač and Hvar are an easy sail away from Split. Scores of picturesque anchorages and village harbours lie peacefully between the busier and more discovered towns. For a longer sail, there's the more remote but gentle island of Vis, and for a Dalmatian time warp, try Šolta. High rollers should head to party-focused Hvar town. Further south towards Montenegro, Cavtat, on the mainland close to Dubrovnik airport, is another regular superyacht destination. Pelješac is a favourite with experienced sailors for its weather conditions. The picturesque town of Korčula is a popular land-based tourist destination but the island has plenty more to offer. Mljet's saltwater lakes and large bays make for popular anchorages in summer; remote Lastovo has good berthing facilities for passing yachts and a number of restaurants. Close to Dubrovnik, Lopud and Šipan are islands to escape from the metropolis – for both sailors and ferry passengers. Avoid late July and August if you can, as popular marinas and ports can be hard to access in the evening. Charter prices are at their peak and most marinas add ten percent to mooring fees. May and June can be warm and sunny, with the relatively calm weather; however, the sea is still warming up so can be a little bracing at times. September is great for sea temperatures but, as with May and June, you may well find that some of the restaurants in the more remote destinations are closed. ![yacht mooring fees croatia Sukosan marina, Zadar county](https://media.timeout.com/images/105642092/image.jpg) Harbours & marinasMost boats are surprisingly luxurious, with toilets, showers, electricity, gas, usually ample kitchen/diner space, comfortable cabins and plenty of room on deck to eat, drink, sunbathe and be merry. But where do you park? Do you choose marinas, village harbours or anchorages? Most people opt for a mixture. There are more than 50 marinas in Croatia, about half of them state-owned, recognisable by the acronym ACI. Planned and built ahead of its time, the ACI network ensured you could always find a safe haven almost wherever you were in the Croatian Adriatic. Now you’re spoiled for choice but the demand for space is still high. Overnighting in a marina is great for improving the confidence of inexperienced crew and for a little extra comfort. You’ll be moored on lazy lines and protected by a breakwater that reduces the motion of the boat to a very gentle sway. You’ll always have access to toilets, showers, shore power and water, though the electricity and water supply may be restricted on the more remote islands. Often there’ll be a restaurant, shop and café, and sometimes you’ll find nightclubs, swimming pools and other entertainment. Comfort costs money and most of the marinas have hiked their prices in recent years by between five and 15 percent. That said, Croatia is still good value compared with Greece and Turkey. There is nothing like being lulled to sleep by nature and waking up in the morning in glorious sunshine to have a quick dip, off the back of the diving platform, in your own bay. Your charter boat will have a tender (a rubber dinghy) to get you to the shop or restaurant ashore without getting wet. You'll have the choice of paying extra for an outboard motor if you don’t have the energy to row. Anchoring can be idyllic but occasionally novices find it hard to get used to. A local skipper will know the best bays given the prevailing conditions and your preferences. Otherwise, consult a good cruising guide and check the charts. In some anchorages, particularly Kornati and the Zadar area, someone will come round and collect a fee. Berthing in a village or town harbour can give you the best of both worlds. You’ll normally pay less than at a marina, many have shore power and water, some have toilets and showers, and you’ll generally get the protection of a breakwater and the stability of lazy-line moorings. Depending on location, you probably won't be berthed like sardines, as in a marina, and you can walk off the boat to the nearest restaurant. Some restaurants in otherwise deserted bays also have lazy-line berthing on pontoons, sometimes with electricity and water. ![yacht mooring fees croatia Lastovo](https://media.timeout.com/images/106104538/image.jpg) Tides & linesCroatia has practically no tidal differences and only occasional strong currents, in channels or at river mouths. Summer weather is normally calm and sunny, though you will get the odd thunderstorm roughing up the sea. Croatia’s Meteorological and Hydrological site https://meteo.hr/index_en.php has detailed weather forecasts in English. The mighty Bura wind from the north-east is usually only a problem in winter but deserves respect year round. Weather forecasts in English are easily available at marinas, from the harbourmaster or on the radio, and locals are always happy to fill you in on climate tips. The cooling Maestral wind is predominant in summer but you may end up motor sailing for a few days if winds are light. At most marinas and ports and in many bays with piers, using the lazy line is the standard method of berthing. Normally, when you approach a destination with lazy-line berths, someone comes to meet you on the quay or pontoon and holds up a rope. Heading in forwards allows for a little more privacy on deck but most prefer reversing in – it’s easier to get on and off. As you head in backwards, someone stands at the back with a boat hook (normally supplied), picks up the raised rope, walks with it along to the front of the boat, pulls it in and secures it to the cleat on the front. Simultaneously, two other members of the crew should be ready at the back of the boat with coiled ropes, already tied to the cleats on both sides of the back end. As the boat reverses in, throw one rope to the person on land to secure it; then throw the other rope. It’s worth practising the throw a little to measure the weight of the ropes. Don’t worry though if you make a mistake – the locals have seen it all. ![yacht mooring fees croatia Lopud](https://media.timeout.com/images/106096825/image.jpg) PracticalitiesBook early, shop around and avoid the peak months of July and August. Check the charter company small print for extras: final clean, an outboard motor for the dinghy, extra sails, towels, and so on; and make absolutely sure your boat has a bimini, a cockpit cover for protection against the sun. You also need to budget for fuel, on-board provisions, flights, transfers, eating out and the odd night at a hotel if you can’t get your flights to coincide with the charter period, which normally runs from Saturday to Friday. Modern yachts and motorboats are designed to maximise storage space but leave your rigid suitcases behind and pack everything in fold-away bags. Sunscreen, shades and a hat are essential; long-sleeved shirts and a warm jumper are advisable; waterproofs can be a godsend if you’re unlucky with the weather. Plastic, rubber or jelly shoes protect against stony beaches and sea urchins, whose spikes are painful but not life-threatening. Charts and guides are provided but check if snorkelling gear is on board. Lifejackets and other essential safety equipment are supplied, as are kitchen essentials. A company such as Helm can help with finding the right charter. For novices, a basic one week’s charter of a Bavaria 46 from BavAdria Charter , with plenty of room for four people and a skipper, will cost an average of €3,000, along with costs for a skipper and overnight stays in a marina. For jet-setters, Dalmatian Destinations has some of the largest yachts in Croatia for charter. Discover Time Out original video - Work for Time Out

Food and drinksClients who charter a bareboat usually prepare breakfast and lunch on the boat and dinner outside in the local restaurants and taverns. If you decide to have dinner out in a restaurant, you can count on the cost of 30-50€/person. Of course, this can be far more expensive if you enjoy your meals in high-end restaurants. You can order food and drinks in advance to be delivered on the boat, or you can make the provision yourself upon arrival in the nearby supermarkets. Order provisioning here and save some time and energy. We suggest buying water and drinks for the whole week and food for the first two days, which is the minimum you should have on board. You can buy fresh products on the islands for the rest of the week. If you hire the crew, you must ensure they have three meals a day, and at least one should be cooked meal (on the boat, in a restaurant, or you can pay them extra for food 30 €/ day/ crew member). For more info and tips for provisioning, you can read here . If you are chartering a crewed yacht and paying the APA ( Advance Provision Allowance), the APA covers all mentioned costs. This allowance is 30-40% of the yacht charter price. You can find more tips and info about boat provisioning and cooking on the boat here. Car ParkingCar parking is not included in the yacht rental price. This is the extra cost, paid directly to the marina reception. Appx 50 -70 EUR per week, per car.

Mooring prices in Croatian ports![Mooring prices in Croatian ports Mooring prices in Croatian ports](https://www.yacht-rent.com/image/cache/data/Mooring in the Adriatic-Double Double Buoy and Trouble-705x413.jpg) Adriatic is extremely tempting sailing destination and since Croatia will join European Union soon, the same trend will be continued. Jadran is extremely appealing to all European navigators and even more. Mooring places are extremely popular, especially those in the sea, although moorings on land are increasingly demanded in last few years. Availability of berths in ports depends on many factors. In recent years, nautical tourism is extremely popular and the prices are raising increasingly. Marinas offers to its customers numerous services and service prices are divided into seasonal and one off-seasonal prices. If you have rented a vessel of average length of 12 m you will need to set aside about 480 Kunaa per day while in high season berth costs approximately 530 Kunas. For vessels about 15 m will have to pay 580 Kunas per day. Boaters with average income can afford only a berth at the smaller sport ports but the problem is that the demand for moorings exceeds the available capacity. For example, one of the largest marina on the Adriatic coast, Marina Kastela, with over 420 berths offers still available berths. For boat length approximately 12 m monthly berth costs 705 Euros while annual berth stands 650 Euros.

There’s a huge range of bareboat yachts, flotilla holidays , skippered charters and crewed charters available. The Croatian coast is strewn with islands large and small, some quite well populated, others deserted. So there’s a huge range of places to visit, from vibrant cities to tiny hamlets. There are some fantastic historic towns to explore, from the Italian influenced architecture of the north, to the Roman Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the fortifications of Dubrovnik . Map of Croatia’s Sailing Areas & Main BasesAbout croatia. After several quiet years following the 91-95 war, sailing in Croatia is very much back in business. The area seems to be awash with yachts, it’s popularity aided by the fact that it’s relatively easy to get to for many Europeans (it’s quite driveable from Germany for example). Charter rates are very competitive compared to Greece and Turkey and flights from the UK are cheaper too. ![Makarska: The town at the foot of the mountains Makarska: The town at the foot of the mountains](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/makarska-s45505147-300x200.jpg) Makarska : The town at the foot of the mountains Fortunately, there is quite a lot of coastline, so it doesn’t feel as busy as you might expect. Until that is you reach the marina in the evening, when you realise how many fellow yachstmen you’ve been sharing the waters with! Whilst some islands are connected by bridges to the mainland, most rely on ferries. So although there are well developed tourist centres, your yacht provides a great opportunity to get away from the masses. The richness of the environment has been recognised by the creation of a number of national parks. Whilst the controls implicit in these do not affect yachtsmen greatly, they have ensured the landscape is preserved and free of excessive or damaging development. ![Saplunara sandy beach and bay with yachts at anchor Saplunara: The unspoilt sandy beach makes it a pleasant bay for anchoring](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/mljet-saplunara-s69445627-300x200.jpg) Saplunara: The unspoilt sandy beach makes it a pleasant bay for anchoring Though the Croatians themselves may not overwhelm you with the warmth of their greeting (they were recently described on one forum as “like Yorkshiremen with tans”), they’re not as dour under the skin as they may at first appear. Restaurants offer good variety of food and with the exception of some establishments in the marinas, you don’t walk away feeling you’ve been fleeced just because you arrived on a yacht. The cuisine varies across the regions. On the Dalmatian coast it’s a mixture of Mediterranean dishes with plenty of fish on offer, and meat heavy dishes drawing on Central European traditions. Further north, the Italian influence is noticeable with plenty of pasta options. Being a little further north than Greece and Turkey, Croatia is not as swelteringly hot in high season, with the cooler climate making the surroundings much greener. The season is a little shorter than in southern Greece and Turkey as by October there’s an increased risk of rain and it’s markedly cooler (as one wag said, similar to a British summer day)! Croatia Moorings![Hvar: The centre of the old town Hvar: The centre of the old town](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hvar-s74777314-300x200.jpg) Hvar: The centre of the old town To accommodate all the yacht charters, numerous marinas have opened up over the years, including some large ones such as Sukosan (1200 berths). Many are owned by ACI (Adriatic Croatia International), a government sponsored operation who in recent times have imposed large price increases. Needless to say, the independents have happily followed suit! For those used to the low or non existent mooring charges in Greece and Turkey, the marina prices can be a shock. Expect to pay around £70 a night for a 12m (39 foot) yacht in high season. In fairness though there are plenty of places in the western Med where you will pay the same or more. And of course it’s not obligatory to use them – there are other options. ![Korcula Island from Peljesac peninsula Korcula: The east end of the island from the Peljesac peninsula, with Korcula town centre](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/korcula-s64749205-300x158.jpg) Korcula: The east end of the island from the Peljesac peninsula, with Korcula town centre There are still traditional harbours, and mooring buoys are put out in summer, though in slightly lesser numbers than previously as the government tries to clamp down on unlicensed facilities. You will still have to pay in harbours and on most buoys (though a few buoys are linked to shore side restaurants and are free if you eat there) but fees are lower than in the marinas. Typically expect to pay around £40 for a 12m yacht in high season. So those on a budget may want to go out of high season when charges are lower. For those who want to park up for free, there is plenty of anchoring space too, once the masses have all headed in to port for the night. However, if you anchor in an area of mooring buoys fees can be charged. Elsewhere you shouldn’t have to pay, though you may come across the odd local entrepreneur trying his luck! Don’t write off the sailing in Croatia just because there are mooring fees. You can expect some excellent sailing with a huge choice of bareboat yachts and a handful of flotillas. ![Vrboska town, Hvar, with yachts on the quay, the Church (fort) of St Mary and seagulls Vrboska: The town, with yachts on the quay left, and the Church (fort) of St Mary centre right](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vrboska-s66647470-300x165.jpg) Vrboska: The town, with yachts on the quay left, and the Church (fort) of St Mary centre right I wouldn’t describe it as the best place for complete novices as winds can be a little stronger and less predictable than say the Ionian or Saronic in Greece, but it’s well within the sailing capabilities of a reasonable Day Skipper. Wind strengths of F2-5 are typical but the onset of the Bora (or one of several other winds that affect the area) can push these up to F6 and sometimes stronger. Katabatic winds add to the entertainment as gusts come down of the hills. These are short lived and often visible ahead as disturbances on the water. If you don’t spot them, you can have an entertaining few minutes! Watch for other yachts ahead and if you see them suddenly heel, pop a reef in quickly. Once through, look out for anyone else who’s less astute – I’ve seen a couple of spectacular broaches where skippers weren’t paying attention! ![Splitska: The village and harbour at night.

You can moor side to on the quay One final decider may be your qualifications. The authorities issue a list of recognised skippers certificates which includes the ICC, and RYA Day Skipper (and higher) practical qualifications. Rather bizarrely, it also includes the RYA Theory qualifications, so (in theory) you don’t actually have to have ever been on a yacht! Don’t expect the charter companies to fall for it though! You must however have one of the recognised tickets – experience alone counts for nothing. The authorities do check and anyone found short risks having a skipper imposed (if available and at your cost), fines, or termination of your trip. If you find any charter agent or holiday company telling you it won’t be a problem then beware; they’re playing fast and loose with your holiday. Sailing Holidays in CroatiaBareboat charterers will find a huge number of yachts available, from a large number of bases. There are few companies operating from multiple locations so one way charters , though possible, are not as common as in some other places. However, with so many islands, it’s easy to plan a circular route and return to your start point without seeing the same place twice. ![Primosten: The walled village and harbour on the "island" with yachts at anchor Primosten: The walled village on the "island" with yachts at anchor and in the harbour](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/primosten-s69831892-300x199.jpg) Primosten : The walled village on the “island” with yachts at anchor and in the harbour If you are looking for a skippered charter then most bareboat charter companies will provide these but most use local skippers, some of whom in my experience are not the most charismatic types. Their language skills may also be limited. However, I’ve never come across any issues with their competence. The increasing hurdles put up by the powers that be in recent years mean that there are far fewer flotilla holidays in Croatia than a few years ago and currently only two RYA sailing schools. Flotilla sailors still have a choice of a number of routes and a couple of different operators, mostly sailing various parts of the Dalmatian coast, the northern parts of the country being a little harder to get to for Brits. ![Skradin: The town and busy north west quays, with yachts anchored off Skradin: The town and busy north west quays, with yachts anchored off](https://www.sailingchoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/skradin-s36411313-300x200.jpg) Skradin: The town and busy north west quays, with yachts anchored off If cabin charter is your thing, the sailing in Croatia is pretty much swept up by the local style vessels (not dissimilar to Turkish gulets) and I don’t know anyone currently offering regular yacht based cabin charters. So you’re looking for a bareboat charter, flotilla holiday or skippered charter, and you like your sailing civilised but with the opportunity to get away from the tourist crowds, sail Croatia. With the excellent marinas, there’s no need to go without a shower and those that need can even do their hair! There are plenty of shops and facilities in the many small towns and the coast and islands have been spared the over development prevalent in some other parts of the Med. The excellent sailing, stunning scenery, and in high season, temperatures that are more amenable to the average Brit than elsewhere, it’s worth having to shell out for a few mooring fees. ![](//gbes.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.jpg) |
