Island Sailing's Croatia flotillas

Your experienced and friendly flotilla skipper and crew provide professional support and a personal service throughout the week. They give a daily briefing and chat about the cruising plans for the day and with lots of local knowledge they can give you plenty of tips and advice.

Set sail at your leisure and explore each day at your own pace. Stay in a different port each evening, stopping en route in a small bay or pretty village for lunch and a swim and snorkel.

By keeping to a smaller number of yachts this allows us to visit all of the best places including some of the most picturesque ports and bays. You sail independently meeting up with the other yachts at the end of the day at each destination. 

Our flotillas run when its the best time to sail in Croatia, in July and August. The Island Sailing lead crew are at the chosen destination each day to make sure that you moor up safely for the night. The evenings are your own to relax and enjoy the company of others in your flotilla or to spend time with your family or friends.

Our lead crew are your inside-guide to the best places to experience the diverse gastronomy on offer around the islands and can make dinner reservations or make suggestions and recommendations for the nicest places to relax, explore and enjoy.

Enjoy the local hospitality as well as support from our flotilla crew who will help you to discover the very best places the stunning Dalmatian islands have to offer.

 

Flotilla Sailing Yachts

We only offer the latest models and brand new yachts ranging in size from 34 feet with 3 cabins to 56 feet with 6 cabins with high specifications. We also have new catamaran yachts from 39 to 45 feet which offer extra space and luxury.

 

Flotilla Itineraries

Our flotilla starts from the modern marina base at Trogir at the very heart of central Dalmatia. Ideally located just 15 minutes’ transfer from Split airport it's a perfect starting point for exploring the stunning Adriatic coast. The heart of the historic city of Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is on a small island with stunning Venetian architecture. 

Our specially chosen itineraries visit the most beautiful bays, stunning towns and picturesque fishing villages on islands voted by the leading travel publications and their readers as some of the very best in the world. Some examples of the places our flotilla visits include an array of diverse destinations on the islands of Vis, Hvar, Solta and Brac. Our flotillas are a great way to discover the rich contrasts of cosmopolitan style, cafe-gallery vibe, organic bio-farms, vineyards and historical landmarks with plenty of time for fun and relaxation.

We check the weather forecast at the start of each week before setting the exact itinerary so we can choose the best sailing route based on what the wind is doing.

Dalmatian Coast & Islands

The stunning Dalmatian region offers turquoise waters, a warm climate and fresh breezes and a perfect balance of ancient and modern. Explore peaceful and unspoilt islands, and an array of beaches and tranquil moorings perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Rich in history and culture, UNESCO World Heritage sites galore, fantastic food and wine and friendly and welcoming locals Croatia is perfect for a fun, relaxed and varied sailing holiday. 

The incredible coastline and 1000 or more islands offers calm, clear waters and stunning scenery. Calm and peaceful mornings give way to exciting afternoon breezes for fun sailing for everyone to enjoy. Line of sight navigation and a mixture of short island hops and longer periods of open water sailing provide ideal conditions for sailors of all abilities.

In Croatia you will generally pay to moor each night in a marina, harbour or sometimes on a mooring buoy. There are also some bays where you can moor for free and take your dinghy ashore. We cover the cost of mooring fees at our first class marina yacht bases at the start and end of your charter and for the rest of your holiday mooring fees depend on the size of the yacht and location, but as a guide, marinas will cost around £1.50 per foot per night, town quays and mooring buoys will cost around £1.00 per foot per night.

Experience & Qualificatons

Croatian Maritime Law requires you to have a sailing license issued by the state authority of the country that you are coming from. A VHF radio license is also required. For the UK this is usually the ICC (International certificate of Competence) or RYA Day Skipper Practical (or higher), or a similar qualification from other countries.

With previous experience sailing on a similar size yacht the skipper should be assisted by at least one competent member of crew over 18 years of age.
