Charter sailboat or catamaran in Trogir

Trogir is a walled town crowded onto a tiny island which is connected to the mainland by bridges on one side and Ciovo island on the other. Much of the city dates back to medieval times but its history dates back to earlier times. Before you hire a boat, check out the views from the St Lawrence Cathedral bell tower of the 13th century, as well as other sights such as the Cipiko Palace of the 15th century and Kamerlengo Castle of the 14th century, which is now an atmospheric backdrop for concerts. The city is just a mile from Split airport, so you won’t find a more convenient starting point for your Croatian dream sailing holidays.

The best time to rent a yacht

This part of the Dalmatian coast is an excellent place for chartering a sailing boat from spring to autumn, thanks in part to consistent wind patterns, with a lull every day around noon. The water temperatures are extremely dry, for most of the season in the mid to high twenties. The Splitski channel right off the coast is very sheltered, but if you head south to explore the Dalmatian islands, you might want to rent a boat with a skipper as you sail against the prevailing winds.

To Trogir

There are many beautiful beaches in and around Trogir, in particular around Seget and in the Saldun Bay. There’s the ACI Marina in the town of Trogir which is very important for Croatia’s nautical tourism.

On this tiny islet straddling the isthmus between the gentle hills and fertile plain on the mainland and the coast of the island of Ciovo, two millennia of stormy history were written.

Its first pages were written long ago by the Illyrians, Greeks and Romans who built the town; it was continued in the 7th century by the Croats who developed their autonomous municipality, whether under their own or foreign sovereigns (Byzantine Empire, Hungary, Venice, France , Austria) into one of the most beautiful towns on the Adriatic coast.

Trogir is an art treasury, or, as the famous Berenson puts it-” City-Museum. For your attention, the ancient Kairos, Roman fragments and inscriptions and rustic early Croatian art will all compete.

But that is not the end of Trogir ‘s treasures there is still Master Radovan’s Romanesque portal to visit, Gojkovic, Alesi, Duknovic and Nikola Firentinac’s Gothic and Renaissance masterpieces to admire. Then there is the coolness of the sturdy walls and bastions to enjoy, the cathedral ‘s lush beauty, the mysticism of the streets and vaults, the harmony of paintings, miniatures and carving in color and shape.

You may observe the continuity of life and man’s imagination in this Adriatic climate where sun and sea, stone and nature have blended with life in the quiet of museums, treasuries, art collections and old libraries, among the monuments in stone, and the old narrow streets.
