Frequently asked questions about croatia.

Your search for ""

Do I need a visa to travel to Croatia?

Your visa requirements can change according to your citizenship (and also according to the length and purpose of your visit). We always recommend that you check out our visa guide for more information.

What is the currency used in Croatia?

You’ll need to get Euros with you when you’re traveling to the captivating country of Croatia.

When is the best time to visit Croatia?

Croatia tends to be spectacular year-round. But the best time to visit Croatia depends on what you wanna do. For the beach-lovers and island hoppers among us - summer is the best season. But if you’re looking for casual exploration, hiking and cultural celebrations, spring or winter will be the best time for you.

What should I pack for a trip to Croatia?

So, you’ve finally decided to travel to Croatia? Awesome! Here’s a list of some essentials (other than your passport, ofc) you should get with you:

- Lightweight clothing: That’s made from breathable fabrics. Perfect for the summer air and for layering up in the cooler months.

- Beachwear: Croatia's stunning coastline begs for beach time. So, don't forget your swimsuit, flip-flops, and a beach towel.

- Walking shoes: There’s gonna be a lot of exploring on the beautiful cobblestoned streets. And you’re gonna wish you had comfy shoes.

- Daypack: Perfect for carrying water, sunscreen, and your camera while exploring the streets

How many days should I spend in Croatia?

Croatia might be small but it sure does pack a punch. On an average, if you wanna just visit the main attractions, 2-3 days are enough for Croatia. We highly recommend that you visit all the other Balkan beauties while you’re there. (Like we do on our Best of Balkans trip).

Is it safe to drink tap water in Croatia?

Yep. You’ll be fine drinking tap water in Croatia. But if you’re visiting a more rural area and are doubtful, it might be a good idea to double check with your Trip Manager.

What is ATM access like in Croatia?

ATMs tend to be easily accessible in Croatia, especially in the bigger cities where you’ll find them at every bank. But if you’re heading off the beaten track, you might wanna carry some cash with you. Don’t forget to use ATMs only in secure, well-lit areas.

Can I pay by card in Croatia?

Mostly yes. Most restaurants and shops accept popular debit and credit cards. But for smaller purchases (like those souvenirs you’ll buy), we recommend that you get some cash.

Croatia Sailing Tours: How to Choose the Best Island Sail Week in Croatia (2024)

Posted on Last updated: February 7, 2024

So you haven’t been on any Croatia sailing tours yet?! What are you waiting for?! As a booming newer destination in the past decade, sailing Croatia is now on the radar of travelers everywhere. As someone who has been working there for quite a few years, I’ll tell you that there’s no better way to experience this beautiful country than to sail Croatia – spend a week on a sail week trip of the Croatian islands.

Croatia sailing trips are becoming so popular that new companies and Croatia sailing weeks are popping up left and right; everyone wants to try to get their slice of the booming business of the perfect idyllic holiday.

There are some companies that have been around for years and some new ones, some bigger sailing companies and some smaller ones, both budget and luxury sailing tours, and some massive boats with more passengers or smaller ones with less. There’s definitely a lot of choices when it comes to picking the best Croatia sailing tours, and I’m here to help you figure out which sail week in Croatia may be right for you.

With dozens of companies and hundreds of boats, it's hard to know how to choose the best Croatia Sailing Tours for you! This guide will help you choose the right island sail week company based on what YOU are looking for.

How I Know About Croatia Sailing Tours

I worked three summers as a tour guide on these very Croatia sailing tours I’ll be describing to you, and during that time, I got to know the in’s and out’s of all the different companies and different tours. In 2022 I became a partner in my very own Croatia sailing company for young professionals called Fjaka Sail (more on that later) and helped run our first tours in 2023.

I have come to know what the selling points of each company are, what makes each one different, which tours are better for what ages, and what kinds of people tend to book a certain tour due boat size, party level, and more.

Below I have outlined all that I know about each Croatia sailing company and what kind of person it may be more geared towards. I’m hoping you can take all this info to make the perfect decision on the right one for you! If you need any help planning, feel free to reach out to me by email or DM me on Instagram.

Disclaimer: All this info is my personal opinion from working 5+ seasons of sail Croatia on the Adriatic. They may not be correct or agreeable, but I hope my experience can be used to help you choose the best Croatia sailing tour week for your needs. This post also contains affiliate links.

What to Know Before Booking Croatia Sailing Tours

First of all, know what to bring! Here’s my sailing trip packing list , and everything else you need to know is below.

Sailing Croatia Tour Boats

Before I start, I want to give a quick description of what kinds of boats you’ll be looking at for your sail week Croatia. The boats come in a few different classes and styles that you will want to know before you go! Links to companies are below.

Renting Your Own Boat

If this all seems too complicated to you and you already have a group, you might want to consider renting your own boat and doing your own tour. This is totally possible. I recommend using a site like Sailo to rent your own boat . You can view boats, where they are located, prices… etc. It’s kind of like an Airbnb for boats.

Floatilla Style Croatia Tours/Boats

Some tours run in a floatilla style, meaning that there will be 5+ (usually even more, up to 20+) smaller boats of 8-10 people all sailing together. Each small boat will have a skipper and the option to have a hostess. These boats don’t specifically have a guide, but workers who help to run the whole floatilla smoothly.

Bigger Sail Croatia Boats – B/A/A+

Companies with bigger boats run as one complete tour by themself. Bigger boats will hold around 25-40 people. These boats generally have their own Croatian sailing crew (captain, chef, bartender/server, sailor(s), etc) and may have a tour guide responsible specifically for the well-being of the guests. Bigger boats come in three categories:

B Class boats – These are wooden boats with shared facilities and usually no air conditioning. They are, of course, quite a lot cheaper. Cabins will have two bunk beds each. These boats are usually smaller (18-25 people) and are quite the authentic sailing experience!

A Class boats – A-class boats have ensuite toilets in each cabin and sometimes communal air conditioning in the hallway or saloon/eating room. Beds are usually bunk with two in each room. There’s a large range of A-class boats – some much nicer than others – but will all have this basic ensuite structure.

A+ Class boats – A+ boats are the luxury of the seas and are the fancy white boats you will see on the Adriatic that hold 35+ people. A+ boats have air conditioning in each room, two (not bunk) beds in a spacious cabin, a safe in each room, and LOTS of space to chill – including a big upper/lower deck, good speakers, and hot breakfast.

Smaller Private Yachts

Some Croatia sailing tour companies that are more family/all-ages oriented will have one smaller 8-10 person boat available for Croatia yacht charter hire for the week. These will come with a skipper and possibly a hostess.

Katarina Lines

Because all boats are privately owned and operated, most companies use an agency to obtain the boats they work with. The agency that operates most of Croatia is called Katarina Line.

You will see these logos all over the place, and you can actually book tours with KL themselves, as they have some sail Croatia tours that are not affiliated with a specific company and also can help find you what company works best for your needs.

Croatia Sailing Tours Routes/Duration

You will find that most of the Croatia sailing tours are one week, from Saturday morning to Saturday morning. The brochures may say 8 days because of the first and last Saturday. Some run Wed-Wed or Thurs-Thurs, and are usually quieter.

Sail Croatia weeks will mostly be one-way or round-trip between Split and Dubrovnik. If you fly into one of the airports, it’s easy to get a ferry/bus transfer to the other city if need be.

On bigger, more highly powered boats (not floatillas) you will either sail Split-Split, Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik, Split-Dubrovnik, or Dubrovnik-Split. Floatillas will generally not make it all the way between Split and Dubrovnik because they’re smaller boats and can’t move as fast.

Croatia Sailing Destinations:

When looking at routes, make sure you pick places you like most (or just follow my recommendations!). To read a bit more about different destinations, see my guides below:

Split – Day Trips from Split – Vis Island – Hvar Island – Makarska – Korcula Island – Dubrovnik – Day Trips from Dubrovnik – ALL OF CROATIA – 20 Best Festivals in Croatia

Croatia Sailing Tours Added Costs, Currency, and Optional Activities

When you go on a Croatia sailing trip, you must be prepared for extra costs . Most routes will include breakfast and lunch, but not dinner (except floatillas, which do not include either). There are usually two optional dinners onboard the boats during the week which you can purchase if you wish.

Drinks and dinners on the boats will go on a tab system you can pay at the end of the week. Drinks and food outside the boat will usually be paid for in cash in euros, which is the official currency since 2023 (it used to be Croatian Kuna). Any adventure tours (like zip lining ) or activities will cost extra as well.

So What is the best Sail Croatia Company?

This depends on your age, but here is a quick breakdown:

Best Sail Croatia company for young people (18-22+): Topdeck/Contiki

Best Sail Croatia company for Young Professionals (22-40ish): Fjaka Sail/Koda Sail

Best Sail Croatia company for All Ages/Families: G Adventures/Intrepid Travel

Best Sail Croatia company for an Older Crowd : Kompas/Peregrine Adventures

Keep reading for a description of each company and links.

Croatia Sailing Tours for Young People and Young Professionals – Tours for Youth + Mature

So if you didn’t already know, sail Croatia is a great party destination . Many people come to Croatia to enjoy the scenery a little bit and sip on cocktails, take fancy shots, dance on bars, and party quite a lot .

This isn’t to say that you can’t come on a Croatia sailing holiday and have a mellow, chilled week relaxing in the sun, but just be warned that there will be quite a lot of debauchery going on around you. It is actually part of tour guides’ jobs on these boats to take you to at least one (or 4) bars every night. It’s up to you whether or not you wish to take part.

What Do I Need to Know Before Booking Party Croatia Sailing Tours for Young People?

Bell rings:.

On each boat, if you ring ‘the bell’ (every boat has one), you buy a round of shots for the entire boat. Yes, everyone on it. Bell rings are like a Croatian right of passage; they’re a ceremonial symbol of Adriatic party. As soon you ring the bell, the bartender will compile a tray of shots with the amount of people on the boat, and put it on your tab which you pay at the end of the week. Dangerous.

Nights Out:

There’s always a good mix of bigger and smaller nights out. Save up for nights out in Hvar, Dubrovnik, Makarska, and Korcula. At the rest of the ports, you can go crazy at one or two small bars or chill out and stargaze on the boat. Tour guides should always give you a nice alternative to a party night.

Nationalities:

On the bigger boat Croatia sailing tours (Topdeck, Busabout, Contiki, Sail Croatia), you will find that there are a lot of Australians (and Kiwis) around. You will find Americans, Scandinavians, and more Europeans on floatilla tours like The Yacht Week and Medsailors. I have no idea why this is, but that’s how it turned out.

Some companies tend to end up as bigger parties than others, and I will go through each one and their general stereotype/clientele below.

MY OWN CROATIA SAILING TOUR COMPANY: FJAKA SAIL

I’ve been waiting to announce this news: myself, another tour guide who has been working Croatia sailing tours for 10 years, and my partner started our very own Croatia sailing company called Fjaka Sail. We ran our first 3 amazingly successful tours in 2023 and have 4 weeks available in 2024.

After working for big companies for so long, we have always known that we could do better running the show ourselves and not answering to a main office in another city or a sales team who have never even been to Croatia. Fjaka Sail is a small company run by passionate travelers who KNOW Croatia and can’t wait to tailor the experience to each and every person.

Clientele/Age Range : Fjaka Sail is targeted at young professionals and young at heart. This means travelers who are a bit older but still know how to have a good time – you can be a more mature 23 or a young and fun 45. As far as Nationalities, we get a big mix and our doors are open to everyone. We are after more of a mindset than an age or nationality, but we have had Americans, Aussies, Kiwis, Brits, South Africans, and more.

Our Fjaka Sailing Guide: Andre knows the language, the land, and EVERYONE there is to know in our destinations – the families with amazing restaurants, the coolest bars, and hidden gems. There’s a reason he has the most returning passengers out of any guide I know.

Fjaka Sail Boats : We have what I fully believe to be the best boat for our age group: The President. The president is an A+++ white boat with a rooftop jacuzzi, spacious rooms, A/C, hot breakfast, two chefs, four floors, amazing crew, and more. Trust me, you won’t want to be on board ANY other boat this summer.

Party Level : We will always have options for whatever each person wants to do, whether that be a huge night out or go stargazing. We know that a young professional crowd is a bit more mature, so we visit chic cocktail bars on the Riva and hidden gems, as well as some usual local party bars and, of course, a club or two – because we believe in balance.

Fjaka Sail routes : We have tailored our routes to include EVERYTHING cool and remove anything annoying about routes we worked in the past for big companies. You won’t miss out on anything important on a Fjaka Sailing tour, and we have some extra special things organized that NO other tours do.

Fjaka Sail Price: We are keeping our prices much lower as the industry prices continue to soar. We pride ourselves on privicing affordable luxury for young professionals! Our tours start at €1950 for a bed which gets even cheaper when we run discounts. Follow us on Instagram to keep up to date!

Use my code KIMMIE10 for a 10% discount on our sailing weeks for this summer, or subscribe below to see if we have any bigger discounts running at the moment.

Croatia Sailing Companies: Koda Sail

Koda Sail is a more intimate and detail-oriented company geared toward the more mature partier and the young professional (and they also run tours in the Maldives, Turkey, Greece, and more now). Koda Sail only runs premiere A+ style luxurious boats, but is still quite affordable for young people. Koda Sail stands for the fact that sometimes young people need a bit of luxury, too, but can also have a bit of fun.

Clientele: Koda Sail was founded by an Aussie guy named Chris, who is a total legend! A lot of the clientele would be similarly Aussie/Kiwi but varied.

Boats: Koda Sail only has A+ style, ensuite, air-conditioned boats. See A+ category boat descriptions above.

Guides: Koda Sail has an experienced guide who is a bit older but still knows how to have a good time. Chris, the owner, runs some of the tours himself I believe.

Party Level: The option to party is always there on Koda Sail (as with any Croatia sailing tour). Koda Sail has a better balance of big and small nights with some great options for nights out and recovery days in between.

Age Range: Koda sail passengers are generally mid-twenties to late-ish thirties, but if you are of the young professional category/mindset you will be just fine.

Routes: During the summer, Koda Sail has three different routes, the S-S, S-D, and D-S. There’s only one tour per week so the route depends on the date. All routes include great places.

Koda Sail Tours

Recommended Tour: All the routes are great but I recommend the Split to Split Luxury A+ Koda Sail Cruise :

Croatia Sailing Companies: Travel Talk

Travel Talk is a tour company with bus tours throughout Europe, and Croatia sailing tours are just a small part of their product. They have two boats that switch between Split to Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik to Split routes, and are historically one of the cheapest Croatia sailing tours – even with ensuite facilities.

Clientele: Travel Talks clientele is also largely Aussie, with a bit of variety thrown in here and there, and do love a good party.

Boats: Travel Talk have two smaller wooden boats (about 20 capacity) with ensuite facilities (A class). One of them, Lav, is an actual pirate ship and is awesome to see sailing! But be warned, they’re by far not the nicest A class boats, but they are fine (especially for the price!).

Guides: The guides on Travel Talk are usually super fun Aussies who are outgoing and helpful but know how to have a good time. I’ve loved the travel talk guides every year.

Party Level: These will be a high party level tour, with options to go out each night (or drink in the day! :P)

Age Range: Travel Talk caps its age at 50-something. Most people are in the young category but some boats have a larger range.

Tours: Just choose your direction:

Croatia sailing companies: contiki.

Contiki is a global tour company that focuses on bus tours all over the world. They have a couple of Croatia sailing tours on different types of boats. Contiki is rather well-known for being a party tour company; I think they are trying to rid themselves of that stereotype but Contiki passengers usually do love a party.

Clientele : Contiki passengers are usually Aussie. However, as their brand grows, their clientele is also. Expect Kiwis, South Africans, Americans, Canadians, and every so often a few people of Asian descent – rarely European.

Boats: Contiki has a few types of boats. They have some premium A+ boat tours and also a few A category ones which differ in price quite a lot. Two dinners are also included on these tours, which is great and differentiates them from most other tours.

Guides: There are a few Contiki Croatia sail guides who stay in Croatia all summer, but a lot of the guides are normally European bus tour guides who come down and guide sails for a few weeks a summer.

Party Level: There will generally be a lot of partying on Contiki Tours.

Age Range: Contiki tours are 18-35 ages – younger than most.

Routes: The Contiki round trip routes spend two nights in Dubrovnik , giving you more time to see the bigger cities but less time in the smaller ones. They only operate Split-Split routes like this. I’m not a fan.

They have some luxe and some cheaper boats available. I have linked their luxe option and their cheaper option below. But I will say they are pricey for what they are and Fjaka Sail’s deals are far better for what you get 🙂

Croatia Sailing Companies: Topdeck

Ah, Topdeck. I worked here for three summers. I’m going to keep my opinions of the company to myself and try not to be biased in my review, but I do know this company the best.

Topdeck is a global, corporate tour company that does tours in six continents. Croatia sailing tours used to be a pretty big part of their European product, but now they only have a few boats running each summer.

Clientele: Topdeck is another one of those companies that gets around well with Aussie word of mouth. Most passengers are Aussie and Kiwi, with a few Canadians and maybe a South African or American once in a while – becoming more diverse over time.

Boats: Topdeck has A and A+ boats. They change each summer but I recommend the A+ ones if possible. I recommend Dalvin and Toma over Moja Maja.

Guides: Topdeck Croatia sail guides are usually absolute legends. Pretty much all Topdeck guides during my time were knowledgable, passionate, kind, and loved a good party.

Party Level: There is a lot of partying on Topdeck sails, which of course depends a lot on the group. There’s also a lot of culture included as well, as guides are required to show you around or do an activity in each town but also take you out each night.

Age Range : Topdeck is 18-39’s.

Routes : All the routes are quite good these days. One-way routes are usually easier on the travel schedule, but their Split-Split and Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik routes are great too. Choose the boat that looks best and go with it!

Topdeck Croatia Sailing Tours

For 2024, I’m not sure what will be available, but again I recommend the boats Dalvin, Meridijan, and Toma if they’re there.

Sunset from Pomena, Mljet Island Croatia

Go Croatia Sail

This company has grown exponentially in the last few years and has almost even overtaken some of the larger companies above in terms of volume. They have flotilla-style boats as well as larger boats these days. They are one of the more affordable Croatia sailing tours on the market for younger people 20-35 (but more like 20-24).

This is the only company I know of that does 4-day and 5-day Croatia sailing tours. If you are low on time, check out some of their tours from Split to Dubrovnik in 4-5 days.

Croatia Sailing Companies: Sail Croatia (Party Tours AND Other Tours)

Sail Croatia is actually a massive company that runs sailing tours for many different clienteles, both old and young. They are known in the young person sector as the main party tour in Croatia.

Check their website for all they offer, but the majority of their product are tours for young people. They also do have some of the nicest and biggest boats for older crowds up to 80+, however.

Clientele: Sail Croatia’s clientele on their ‘Navigator’ tours are mostly young Aussies looking for a good party. They are known for this. But other then ‘ Navigator ” tours, they also have ‘Explorer,’ ‘Elegance,’ ‘Cycle,’ and ‘Hike’ tours for all types of people.

Boats : Sail Croatia has all classes of boats, but the party cruises will usually be on B or A-class boats, with the possibility to book an A+ for young professionals (explorer tours) or older guests (elegance tours).

Guides: Sail Croatia is one of the only companies that employ Croatian tour guides for their trips. I think they have a couple Aussie guides, but they’re mostly Croatian. I find that this is actually not favorable because the cultural barrier is quite large, and having an English speaking tour guide to form the liaison between the Croatian crew and Aussie/English speaking passengers is better… especially one who goes out with the groups and understands the culture.

Party Level: These will be lots of (often messy) partying stereotypically on Navigator tours, but oftentimes it’s just good fun. On Explorer, Elegance, and other tours it will be less.

Age Range: Navigator Party cruises are for under 35’s. Explorer Cruises are nicer boats for younger professionals 25-50. Elegance are for 35+, and Cycle and Hiking Tours are for all ages.

Sail Croatia Tours

If you are young, you will want to book a Navigator Tour (cheaper, lesser quality boats, fun party) or an Explorer Tour (more expensive, nicer boat, more relaxing/sightseeing)

Croatia Sailing Companies: Stoke Travel

Stoke Travel started running Croatia sailing tours in the last few years. Stoke is most well-known for being the party tour company of Europe (even more so than the rest – it’s part of their branding), and I am sure this will correlate to their Croatia tours too. One of their selling points is also selling unlimited beer and sangria for a small price.

Clientele/Guides: Clientele are mostly Aussie, as are guides, and it is sure to be a loose and fun time with like-minded young people.

Boats: I think Stoke’s boats are either B or A… probably B. Given that they have lots of ‘roughing it’ camping party tours I think they will be the same in Croatia. Fun and very shared.

Party Level: With unlimited beer + sangria onboard, you bet it’s HIGH.

Age Range: Stoke is for all ages who like to party. But people are mostly younger.

Price: If you get in early, S toke has some of the cheapest Croatia Sailing tours on the market. Check their deals below!

Floatilla-Style Croatia Sailing Tours

There is an increasing number of floatilla-style tours in Croatia each summer – the ones that sail with lots of smaller boats together. They are very different yet just as fun as doing Sail Croatia on bigger boats!

Floatillas do not travel as far (they either stay around Split or Dubrovnik or go one-way) and may have day and night stops. See the beginning of this article for more logistical information on how floatillas work. Here are a few main floatilla companies you can consider.

The Yacht Week

The Yacht Week is the Croatia sailing company that most Americans know about. The Yacht Week is glamorous and is known for its music, dj’s, and ‘exclusive parties.’ The Yacht Week definitely has a different vibe than a lot of tours, but a lot of the destinations and parties are still the same. They also have lots of tours centered around Ultra Europe music festival and Ultra Week in Croatia.

Yacht Week Clientele: The Yacht Week gets most American, Scandinavian/European, and South American clientele. The 8-10 person boats will be full of groups of friends from different places.

Party Level / Age Range: The Yacht Week is a massive party, but tends to be a more expensive one. Yacht week passengers always seem to buy tables at the fancy clubs and spend more money on what seems like a businessperson’s week off to have fun.

Med Sailors

Med Sailors is another of the biggest floatilla companies that sail Croatia – boats are about 8-10 people. They run great tours with great skippers who will also love to take guests out to the bars at night (always wearing their yellow and blue Med Sailors shirts – you can’t miss them!) I recommend doing one of their Split-Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik-Split tours so you can see more.

Clientele/Party Level/ Age Range: Med Sailors also has a varied clientele of more English/Irish/Americans than many companies. The option to party is also always available, and people are usually young (18-35) but more mature.

MedSailors is a VERY popular option for those who want a smaller boat sailing in a flotilla that is still built for young people. It’s also generally more affordable than the Yacht Week. Medsailors tend to visit more offbeat destinations but still gets the good parties in.

Sail Croatia Tours for All Ages, the Older Passenger, or Families

Phew! Now that we have gotten through the Croatia sailing tours for young people, it may seem it is not possible to visit this country without a party, but that is far from true! There are loads of Croatia sailing tours that cater to different audiences- older people, families, bicyclers, even tennis players and vegans! I’m telling you – there’s something for everyone.

Remember to read above for descriptions of boats and facilities!

Croatia Sailing Companies: G Adventures

G Adventures is an extremely reputable tour company that runs tours all over the whole world. It’s no surprise that their Croatia product will be amazing as well. Their tours are for smaller groups (max 8 on smaller yachts) and run from April all the way until October.

Demographics: G Adventures tours are for 12-70-year-olds. Younger people may book out the boats for a private tour, but they’re also great for families or friends of any age. Their tours are one-way from Spit to Dubrovnik or vice versaa.

Sail Croatia Companies: Intrepid Travel + Peregrine Dalmatia Unique Tours

Intrepid is yet another world-renowned travel company (operating in all 7 continents, I believe!) who also run both small group tours and larger boat tours in Croatia. They run larger boat tours with Peregrine Adventures, another popular all-ages travel company.

The small-boat groups will be about 8-10 people as a single tour, and will stop at all sorts of islands on the way across the Adriatic. The larger boat tours will be similar in nature to all others I have described with groups of 30+.

Routes: Intrepid has come out with some incredible sailing tours in recent years. They have all the classic routes between Split and Dubrovnik (on both large and small boats) but have now have some of the the most unique routes of all these Croatia sailing tours – some tours sailing north of Split and even to Venice !

Demographics: Intrepid is listed as 15 to 99 year olds, so would be perfect for older families or groups of friends of any age who like to be a bit more low-key.

Smaller Boat Tours (Max 8 pax)

Split to Dubrovnik Sailing Tour with Intrepid Travel OR Dubrovnik to Split Sailing Tour with Intrepid Travel

Larger Boat Tours (Max 31 pax) Run by Peregrine Dalmatia

For 1 standard week, I recommend their Dubrovnik to Split route, but Peregrine offers more unique locations than other Croatia sailing trips. To sail NORTH from Split to Zadar , Kornati, and a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park, check out their Central Coast Tour from Split.

They also have a VERY unique 15-day Dubrovnik to Venice tour (with partial bus transfer) with stops in Mostar and Northern Croatia destinations such as Krk, Opatija, and Rab (which no other sails visit).

Croatia Sailing Companies: Kompas

Kompas is one of the Adriatic’s premiere luxury travel companies. Perfect for families or people of any age, Kompas Tours has a minimum of 5-8 years of age and a maximum of 80. These tours will be on the nicest A+ category ships, and your every need will be catered to!

Kompas has more unique routes, and has tours going as far north as Zadar. Many tours will have daytime and nighttime stops to cover more ground in the same amount of time – 8 days. These tours move FAST and see A LOT.

Many boats will have small pools/jacuzzis onboard and premium space to relax on lounge chairs or eat meals in style. These are the ridiculously nice boats that other people just gape at. You can see all information about the boat before you book a tour!

Here are my most recommended Kompas Croatia sailing tours, the Split to Split North Route with Krka and Kornati National Parks, and the regular Split to Dubrovnik Sail:

Croatia Sailing Companies: My Croatia Cruise

My Croatia Cruise offers Croatia Cruise tours you can book a spot on, OR charter of your own small cruise ship. Whether you’d like to jump on a tour with other passengers with a set route from Dubrovnik, Split, or Opatija, or charter your own boat and crew, this company is a great option.

Unique Croatia Sailing Tours: Different Themes

Here are some Croatia sailing trips with a certain focus, like hiking, tennis, or vegan food.

Croatia Bike Tours: Art of Bicycle Trips

Art of Bicycle Trips Croatia sailing bike tour

Art of Bicycle Trips is a leading bike tour operator running bike tours (and also hiking, kayaking, and more) in over a dozen destinations across three continents. All their bike tours have a special focus on local and cultural experiences and involve zooming around the country on two wheels between destinations, seeing each from a unique perspective.

They are a highly rated company that has been featured in multiple publications, but their Croatia bike tours are especially epic.

In Croatia, their Island Hopping bike tour from Split to Dubrovnik allows guests get to bike across three islands — Brač, Hvar, and Korčula — in addition to Split and Dubrovnik. At the beginning of each day, you sail with your bikes on the boat to the next island, then spend the rest of the day exploring the island on a bike. Imagine exploring olive groves in Brač, fields of lavender in Hvar, and visiting Marco Polo’s home in Korčula. An expert local guide and a support vehicle accompany guests at all times.

Croatia Sailing Companies: Go Croatia Sail Tennis Cruise

Yep, that’s right: a tennis cruise. This Split to Split cruise is focused specifically on playing tennis in different places in Croatia! It’s only one specific week in June, so if you are a tennis person get in it now (I actually can’t get over the cover picture on this tour with everyone and their tennis rackets!) 😛

Book your Tennis Croatia Sailing Tour

Did you think I was kidding when I said there was a Vegan Cruise?

You thought wrong! This raw vegan cruise takes place during the first week of August in Croatia on a very nice boat, and has yoga classes and lectures on veganism. What will be next?!

Think A Croatia Sailing Tour isn’t for You? Charter Your Own Boat!

If you’re still a bit iffy after reading about all these different kinds of Croatia sailing tours, I have the perfect solution for you: charter your own yacht! If you’ve got the budget and want the privacy, this is definitely the most luxurious option of all.

Head over to Sailo to charter a boat for you and your friends/family/group that meets your needs.

PHEW! That was a lot of Croatia Sailing Tours. Overwhelmed? I would be too. Feel free to send me an email at [email protected] if you need help sifting through all this information to find out which sail Croatia tour is right for you. Or, book a trip on Fjaka Sail and I’ll be there in person to help you.

Just use deductive reasoning: figure out if you want a young person tour or not, a floatilla or not, a smaller 8-person boat or a larger 30+ person boat with a chef/aircon, if you want something super luxurious or something cheaper, and finally if you want a specialty cruise (hiking, biking, tennis) or something… normal.

This should narrow things down, but. if you want my recommendation, go with a bigger and more luxurious boat with a one-way route! Enjoy your week sailing in Croatia!

Hi, i am struggling to find any information about Fanatics sail Croatia tour, i am hesitant to book as i don't want to be ripped off! Would you know where i could find up to date information? Thank you!! :)

Hey Alex!! The last time I was in contact with fantatics tours was a few years ago but they were going as strong as ever! I knew some of their guides in '15-'17 and some of my friends had a great time on their tour. If you are worried however try some of the other companies I recommended in this post - like Travel Talk (if you are worried about the price point) or Busabout/Topdeck (if you want the option of bigger boats). Hope this helped!

How to choose the right Croatia sailing tour company

Choosing the right Croatia sailing tour company can be a wonderful adventure filled with sun-drenched days and balmy nights, providing you with a chance to discover the beauty of the Croatian coast and its many islands. From the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea to the historical and cultural riches of cities like Dubrovnik and Split, a sailing tour in Croatia is a captivating experience.

Here are some key factors to consider when deciding on the best sailing tour company for your needs.

Understanding your needs

The first step is to clearly identify what you’re looking for in a sailing tour. Your choice will largely be dependent on your personal preferences such as the tour itinerary, budget, and style of cruise.

Itinerary: Croatia offers a plethora of options, from the bustling streets of Dubrovnik to the peaceful serenity of Mljet National Park. Some might prefer a tour that focuses more on Croatia’s renowned cities, while others might be more interested in exploring secluded beaches or nature reserves.

Tour price: Different tour companies offer varying price ranges, so it’s crucial to determine your budget ahead of time. Remember to take into account additional costs such as meals not included in the package, souvenirs, and personal expenses.

Style of cruise: The atmosphere onboard can vary widely, from party-focused cruises that are ideal for those looking for a vibrant social scene, to more relaxed, leisurely cruises. Some companies even offer active sailing tours with activities like cycling or hiking, perfect for the more adventurous travellers.

What’s Included in the Tour Itinerary

It’s important to thoroughly understand what the tour price includes. Some companies include all transportation costs, entrance fees to Croatia’s stunning National Parks, port fees, and even meals in their package.

A well-structured itinerary should offer a balanced blend of exploration and relaxation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Croatian culture, history, and natural beauty, while also leaving ample time for you to unwind.

Ship accommodation quality

Croatian sailing tours often feature ships with both upper and lower decks. The quality of ship accommodation can vary significantly between tour companies, so it’s important to investigate this aspect carefully.

While some companies operate traditional wooden ships, others offer modern yachts with high-end amenities. Some tours provide private bathrooms, while others have shared facilities. It’s crucial to align your accommodation preferences with what the tour company offers.

Checking past passenger reviews

Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of reviews. Websites like TourRadar offer a wealth of reviews from past passengers, providing invaluable insights into their experiences. These reviews can give you a better idea of the service quality, professionalism, and overall experience provided by the tour company.

Remember, a sailing tour of Croatia is not just about the destinations, but also the journey. By taking the time to consider your needs, understanding what’s included in the tour, assessing the quality of ship accommodation, and checking past passenger reviews, you’ll be well on your way to selecting the perfect Croatia sailing tour company for an unforgettable adventure.

It’s crucial to clarify that this Croatia Sailing Adventure is a distinctive offering from INTRO Travel and should not be mistaken for a tour of the same name provided by TruTravels.

The Croatia Sailing Adventure works out to be very competitively priced at £153 per day, striking an impressive balance between quality and cost. This value offering is a testament to INTRO Travel’s commitment to providing unforgettable experiences that don’t have to break the bank.

On The Go Tours

Established in 1998, On The Go Tours has established itself as a reputable and well-loved group tour company, earning a remarkable rating of 4.7 on TourRadar from over 1,900 reviews. This extensive experience and positive customer feedback ensure that potential travellers can have confidence in the company’s offerings and service quality.

One notable example of their standout offerings is the Croatia Sailing Adventure, which presents an affordable and excellent opportunity for travellers to explore the coastal beauty of Croatia. This eight-day sailing adventure is currently the only Croatia sailing tour that On The Go Tours offers, but despite this limited range, it has managed to make a significant mark in the market with its cost-effectiveness and value-for-money proposition.

At a rate of just £99 per day, the Croatia Sailing Adventure tour stands out as the most budget-friendly option for sailing around Croatia available today. While the itinerary details of the tour aren’t the focus here, it’s worth noting that this accessible price point does not compromise the quality of the experience that On The Go Tours is known for delivering. This attractive balance of cost and quality makes the tour a fantastic choice for those seeking to experience the charm and natural beauty of Croatia’s coastline and islands.

G Adventures

G Adventures, a pioneering group tour company established in 1990, has made a name for itself with a varied roster of travel experiences designed to cater to a broad demographic of tourists. While many Croatia sailing tour operators limit their clientele to the 18-35 age range, G Adventures warmly welcomes passengers up to 90 years of age, making them a perfect option for young adults as well as mature explorers looking to embark on a Croatian sailing adventure.

With four bespoke sailing trips offered in Croatia, G Adventures ensures a variety of experiences for its travellers. Two tours are specifically dedicated to exploring Croatia’s picturesque coastal regions, while the other two offer a unique travel experience, sailing between the historic shores of Croatia and the romantic vistas of Italy. The versatility in their tour catalogue is one of the many aspects that sets G Adventures apart in the industry.

In terms of affordability, G Adventures maintains a competitive edge. Their cheapest Croatia sailing tours, navigating from the historic city of Dubrovnik to the vibrant city of Split, are priced at £150 per day. This is well in line with other tour operators, ensuring that a premium, wide-ranging sailing experience is accessible to as many potential tourists as possible.

Stoke Travel

Stoke Travel is an experienced and renowned tour operator that was established in 2006. They’ve earned a solid reputation for their party-centric approach to travel, and a commendable rating on TourRadar further attests to their popularity amongst young and adventurous travellers. Renowned for crafting memorable and exciting experiences, Stoke Travel offers an array of lively tours, with one of the standouts being their Stoke Afloat Croatia Cruise.

This Croatian sailing trip, like all their other ventures, is steeped in a spirit of celebration and unrestrained fun. The Stoke Afloat Croatia Cruise is a signature blend of high seas adventure and vibrant party atmosphere. With prices starting from €750, guests can enjoy a 7-night sailing tour that’s far from the ordinary. Designed for those with a taste for the unconventional, it’s an invitation to let loose on the sparkling Adriatic Sea, immersing oneself in Croatia’s stunning coastal landscape, whilst simultaneously enjoying Stoke Travel’s unique brand of revelry.

Key features of the Stoke Afloat Croatia Cruise include a daily bottomless brunch, ensuring guests start their day with a satisfying feast. However, the highlight for many is undoubtedly the unlimited beer and sangria bar onboard. These elements, combined with the already intoxicating mix of sun, sea and socialising, lend the cruise its distinctively lively Stoke Travel ambience.

Intrepid Travel

Established in 1989, Intrepid Travel has grown into one of the most renowned global travel companies, earning a reputation for its adventurous spirit and commitment to responsible travel. It is highly acclaimed in the travel community, with over 8,200 glowing reviews on TourRadar attesting to its high-quality services.

Intrepid Travel stands out for its unique offerings in Croatia, providing four distinct sailing tours to cater to the diverse tastes of intrepid globetrotters. One of the most commendable aspects of these tours is their inclusivity, accommodating a wide age range of 18 to 99 years old. This broad scope sets Intrepid Travel apart from other sailing companies in Croatia, which tend to cater to narrower demographic ranges.

The company’s Croatian sailing cruises are priced competitively, starting from £157 per night. This value proposition allows travellers to explore the pristine Adriatic Sea and Croatia’s enchanting islands without stretching their budget excessively. Despite this reasonable pricing, Intrepid Travel ensures that their services maintain a high standard of quality, ensuring that all travellers enjoy a memorable and enjoyable sailing experience.

MedSailors, a highly regarded Croatian sailing tour company, offers a unique opportunity for travel enthusiasts, particularly those under 35. With its seven-day island-hopping tours starting from just £104 per day, MedSailors presents an affordable and attractive option for young adults eager to explore the stunning Adriatic coastline.

Unlike other tour operators such as Contiki, Topdeck, and Sail Croatia, MedSailors distinguishes itself with its exclusive use of sailing yachts. This choice allows for a more intimate and authentic sailing experience, away from the hustle and bustle of large, commercial cruise ships. With smaller groups, passengers can enjoy the tranquillity of the sea, the freedom to explore secluded bays, and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture of the various islands they visit.

The company’s focus on a younger demographic (under 35s) ensures that guests are always travelling with like-minded individuals. This age-specific approach guarantees a sociable atmosphere and a vibrant energy aboard, which is a definite draw for young professionals, solo travellers, and small groups of friends alike.

MedSailors’ reputation as a premier tour company for sailing in Croatia is further amplified by their committed crew. Experienced and knowledgeable, the crew does not only ensure safe and smooth sailing but also provide valuable insights about the rich history, cultural highlights, and hidden gems of the Croatian islands. The personalised and hands-on approach that MedSailors offers, combined with their competitive pricing, makes them an attractive choice for anyone eager to experience the allure of Croatia’s azure waters, sunny climes, and scenic isles.

Travel Talk

Travel Talk tours have quickly become the go-to option for a significant portion of the adventure-seeking Australian and New Zealand expats residing in the UK. Their meticulously curated Croatia sailing tours offer an enticing blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure. The company is renowned for its ability to weave together an itinerary that not only explores Croatia’s bustling coastal cities and pristine beaches but also dives into the country’s rich history and vibrant local cultures.

One of the major highlights of the Travel Talk’s Croatia sailing tours is the Game of Thrones filming location walking tour in Dubrovnik. Fans of the show will find themselves walking in the footsteps of their favourite characters, with knowledgeable guides providing behind-the-scenes insights and interesting anecdotes. It’s a unique experience that brings the fantasy world of Westeros to life in a spectacularly real way.

Moreover, Travel Talk is well known for thinking outside the conventional tourism box. They go beyond the usual tourist track, incorporating visits to lesser-known ports where travellers can enjoy a more authentic slice of Croatian life. From sampling locally sourced seafood in quiet fishing villages to swimming in secluded coves, these tours are designed to capture the essence of Croatia’s diverse offerings.

A core part of Travel Talk’s appeal lies in their understanding of the interests and needs of younger travellers. Their Croatia sailing tours are particularly popular amongst the 18 to 40-year-old demographic. They offer a perfect balance of exploration, social interaction, and freedom, all in a safe and organised environment. Whether it’s the lively atmosphere on board, the chance to make new friends from around the world, or the expert guides that transform historical sites into captivating stories, Travel Talk has carved out a niche in offering a youthful, dynamic and immersive travel experience.

Katarina Line

Katarina Line, a premier small ship cruise company based in Opatija, Croatia, has earned widespread acclaim for its exceptional travel experiences. The company offers an expansive suite of over 40 island-hopping tours, each meticulously designed to present the radiant beauty and rich culture of Croatia’s exquisite Adriatic coast.

Their tours range in duration from 7 to 9 days, providing an immersive and comprehensive exploration of Croatia’s iconic destinations. Remarkably, these captivating journeys start at a budget-friendly cost of just £48 per day, making them a preferred choice for discerning travellers seeking value without compromising on the quality of their travel experience.

In terms of competition, Sail Croatia emerges as Katarina Line’s closest rival. Sail Croatia, too, has made a name for itself by offering exceptional sea tours of Croatia’s scenic coastline. However, a distinctive feature setting these two companies apart is the target audience of their cruise tours. Sail Croatia’s Navigator Cruises are specifically designed for the 18-30 age group, offering a youthful, lively cruise atmosphere that appeals to younger travellers.

On the other hand, Katarina Line stands out by embracing a broader demographic. Their Croatian tours are open to passengers of all ages, ensuring that everyone, irrespective of age, can experience the splendours of Croatia from the vantage point of its serene, sapphire waters. This inclusive approach significantly broadens Katarina Line’s appeal and makes them a versatile option for families, couples, solo travellers and groups alike.

Go Croatia Sail

Go Croatia Sail is a sailing tour operator that, although not as widely recognised as some others in the industry, offers a distinctive niche product. This tour operator caters uniquely to those travellers who wish to soak up the beauty of Croatia in less than a week, providing 4 and 5-day tours that are rather uncommon amongst other providers.

However, while this unique offering may appeal to some travellers, the brand may not instil the same level of confidence as some more established tour operators. As of now, they’ve only amassed 36 reviews on the popular review site TourRadar. Despite this relatively low number, the overall rating of 4.4 out of 5 suggests that customers generally have a satisfactory experience with the company. The lower rating, while still fairly respectable, may raise some minor concerns when compared to competitors who maintain consistently high ratings.

When considering the potential for an exceptional Croatia sailing experience, Go Croatia Sail is undoubtedly an option. However, due to their lesser-known status and slightly lower ratings, we would recommend considering other tour companies from our list. This would not only offer peace of mind to the prospective traveller, but also likely ensure a more comprehensive and potentially superior experience of sailing Croatia.

The unique offering of shorter tours by Go Croatia Sail may appeal to some, but an informed decision weighing all factors will surely result in the best choice for your sailing adventure.

Booking your Croatia sailing tour

Embarking on your next Croatia sailing tour has never been easier. Most of the operators listed above, such as Sail Croatia, Contiki, and G Adventures, offer direct booking options. However, if you’re looking for a convenient, secure and user-friendly platform, look no further than TourRadar. As an online travel agency specialising in multi-day tours, TourRadar offers a vast selection of trips from various trusted operators, including Croatia sailing tours .

It’s a popular choice for young adult travellers due to its easy-to-use interface, comprehensive customer reviews, and best price guarantee. Additionally, TourRadar provides 24/7 customer support, ensuring that any queries or issues are promptly addressed. So, whether you’re planning to sail Croatia solo or with a group, TourRadar can make your booking process smooth and worry-free.

In conclusion, a Croatia sailing tour is the perfect choice for young adults seeking a mix of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. With the abundance of reliable tour companies that cater to the 18-39 age group, there’s no better time to set sail and embark on an unforgettable journey along the Croatian coast.

So grab your sunglasses, pack your swimwear, and get ready to experience the magic of sailing Croatia!

Itinerary Expand All

Day 1: arrive opatija to krk, day 2: krk to rab.

This morning we're hopping on our bikes for the first time, taking a cycling tour through the lush Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves and dry-stone walls to the biggest field on the island - Vrbnik field, which produces an iconic golden-yellow wine - the Žlahtina. A rest is well-earned, so we'll kick back for a while and have the chance to taste some wine, cheese and prosciutto.

Feeling refuelled and refreshed, we'll journey onto Punat Valley, with spectacular views of the island of Košljun. Back in Krk we're headed to Rab Island - known as the 'island of love.' As the evening draws in we'll find out why, falling head over heels with the romantic harbour, medieval walls, Romanesque church towers and ancient facades. What a day - and we're just getting started. Bike: 30 km Difficulty: 3/5 (B/D)

After breakfast in the shadow of some beautiful church towers, we're headed on a hiking tour to the highest point of the island - Kamenjak hill and Straža peak (409 m) to enjoy the stunning views of the Velebit mountain to the east and Kvarner Bay on the west.

Falling in love with every inch, we'll then make our descent to the ship for lunch. After refuelling it's time to hop on our bikes again to tour the greenest part of the island - a thickened area called Dundo. Feeling the heat? We've got you - it's time to take a swim in the picturesque bay of St. Mara. It's a hard life. Hike: 11 km Difficulty: 4/5 Bike: 16 km Difficulty: 1/5 (B/L)

Day 4: Rab to Ilovik

Day 5: ilovik to losinj island.

After breakfast this morning we're headed for Mali Lošinj, before hiking to the Sveti Ivan (250 m) hill where you can enjoy a gorgeous view of the Lošinj archipelago. After kicking back and soaking up the scenery, we'll descend towards Veli Lošinj, a picturesque village with coloured houses and gardens.

After heading back to the ship for lunch, we've got a laid back bike tour this afternoon as we journey through bays surrounded by pine trees on the dreamy Čikat peninsula. Tonight we'll visit the famous waterfront of Mali Lošinj with its famous waterfront and visit the Museum of Apoxyomenos - the bronze statue of a young athlete. The evening is all ours to explore the rich local cuisine. Hike: 11 km Difficulty: 3/5 Bike: 15 km Difficulty: 1/5 (B/L)

Day 6: Losinj Island to Cres

Day 7: cres to opatija.

Today we'll enjoy some morning cycling around Cres town, stopping off at the cute seaside cafes and shops - the perfect place to grab some olive oil or artisan gifts to take home. Lunch is served as we head towards the mainland and stop at Lovran for a lovely walking tour on the famous Franz Joseph promenade, better known as the Lungomare.

Today is ours to enjoy the numerous cafes and restaurants in Opatija or at the nearby fisherman's village of Volosko. We have the option to end on a high tonight, with a group meal of Croatian specialities such as fresh seafood and local wine. Guys, it's been emotional.
