The beauty of a yacht charter in Croatia is that you have so many areas to choose from! From Pula in the north to Dubrovnik in the south, marinas dot the coastline with an array of catamarans and sailing yachts available to charter.
Start your bareboat charter from Dubrovnik, a beautiful medieval city with an amazing Old Town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the cobbled streets and walk along the old city walls. At night Gundulic Square comes alive with cafes, whilst in the mornings it transforms into a wonderful farmer's market. The yacht charter marina is located at Komolac, around 6km from the Old Town and a day-trip before or after your charter is more than possible. However, if time permits, it is definitely worth extending your holiday to spend a few days ashore in this fascinating city. A good selection of hotels can be found in the Lapad area which also has some lovely sandy beaches.
Dubrovnik is the most southerly port of Croatia so sailing itineraries tend to head north. Alternatively it is also possible to sail south into Montenegro and explore the charming medieval coastal towns of Kotor, Budva and Sveti Stefan, now a picturesque coastal resort.
Plan your sailing holiday to visit the islands within easy reach of Dubrovnik, including Mljet, Sipan, Lastovo and Korcula. Mljet is a a national park and is considered one of the Adriatic's most beautiful islands. Do not miss the opportunity to swim in the two salt water lakes here and visit the Benedictine monastery at St Mary's Islet. There are some fantastic hiking trails on the island which reward you with fantastic views of Peljesac and Korcula. Marvel at the most beautiful starry sky in Europe on the 'island of bright stars, Lastovo. The Lastovo Island Nature Park is one of the richest and best-preserved treasure troves of biodiversity in the Mediterranean.
