June
June sailing excursions offer an ideal way to gain sea legs before the summer heat settles in. As it is still pre-season, discounts on airfare and yacht rates may still be available while temperatures are beginning to heat up and waters warm enough for swimming (but bring wet suits!).
Croatia is in the throes of festival season, providing plenty of extraordinary events for visitors to enjoy. Music enthusiasts will love INmusic; dance the night away to nonstop EDM at Hideout; or enjoy more cultural offerings at Rovinj’s Salsa Festival.
At peak season, sailboats are typically rented out for one full week from Saturday to Saturday; therefore if you wish to do a one-way route you must either charter two boats or join an organized trip with others. We do offer shorter day sailing tours where our professional skipper and crew look after you; these trips provide the ideal solution for people with limited time but still want to visit beautiful islands, swim in clear blue waters and visit historic towns.
July
Croatia offers so much, from Michelin-recommended restaurants to music festivals and some of the best-preserved Roman architecture. Sailing holidays provide a wonderful opportunity to see it all up close; discover its islands and hidden coves under an experienced captain’s guidance.
May is an ideal month for sailing in Croatia as it is considered pre-season, offering cheaper yacht charter rates. Sea temperatures are suitable for swimming and winds remain steady without being as strong.
Sailing Croatia on a luxury private yacht charter allows you the freedom to experience its stunning Adriatic coast, taking in beautiful beaches and ancient cities while sailing among over 1,000 islands. Most gulet yachts include a full crew with professional chefs to prepare delicious meals on board; drinks and dinner are usually paid for with cash in local currency kuna (kuna is typically used). Most sailboats are typically rented weekly starting Saturday.

September
Between April and September you can still expect warm sea temperatures without the high season crowds or atmosphere. Sailing around Croatia’s islands during the day while experiencing its towns and wineries at nighttime is the ideal way to discover all its riches.
September is an early part of the season and as such prices for yachts tend to drop, while there may also be discounts available on airfare. Days may be shorter but still very pleasant with warm water temperatures perfect for swimming and steady winds.
An expert local skipper is essential in making your holiday experience unforgettable, providing advice and recommendations tailored specifically to weather conditions, while leading you away from busy parts of islands to hidden coves and beaches. For novice sailors, renting a skippered yacht may be best.
