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.

Fjaka Sail Croatia Sailing tours

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 :

makarska riviera croatia beautiful mountains beaches croatia adventure water sports

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)

dubrovnik walk the walls

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.

croatia tour contiki

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).

dubrovnik from above croatia

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!

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

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!

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.

The company’s Croatian sailing cruises are priced competitively, starting from £157 per night.

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.

Unlike other tour operators such as Contiki, Topdeck, and Sail Croatia, MedSailors distinguishes itself with its exclusive use of sailing yachts.

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.

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.

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.

In need of some whimsy? Add these real life Studio Ghibli locations to your bucket list!

By Charlie Fabre

Writer and editor for Contiki, Charlie is French-American, obsessed with travel, art, food, and reading in the New Hampshire forests.

Published on Feb 27, 2024

Doesn’t escaping to the made up fantasy worlds of Hayao Miyazaki’s imagination sound magical? Utterly awe-striking? Wholly wonderful? Simply sensational? (Don’t give your copywriters coffee, guys). Floating over the clouds with Howl or running through the forests with Princess Mononoke and Totoro, or even catching a ride to a quaint village on the cat-bus. It’s all so exquisitely enchanting!

Well, obviously, the films of Studio Ghibli are all animated, but that’s not to say the absolutely dreamy and picturesque landscapes depicted within can’t have real life counterparts. In fact, some locations were actually inspired by real life. So, if you’re in the mood for some whimsy, then these are the Studio Ghibli locations that you should travel to. 

Feeling inspired?

Japan Unrivalled

Howl’s moving castle.

Starting off with one of the most fantastical movies of Studio Ghibli’s collection, the towns of Howl’s Moving Castle are inspired by the Alsacian town of Colmar, in France ! Cake and pastel coloured houses bracketed by wooden beams, an indigo canal running through the streets, and beautiful flowers in the summer and Christmas lights in the winter. It’s like a fairytale, and it serves as the perfect setting for Howl and Sophie’s story.

Another real life counterpart, though not the actual inspiration, could also be the iconic Nyhavn in Copenhagen – that sea-side canal flanked by bright yellow and blue houses and restaurants. Additionally, Howl’s Moving Castle also takes place in some wondrous landscapes like the hills the castle roams, and the flower field Howl takes Sophie to. These water-colour backdrops were inspired by the stunning and dramatic Cornwall in England .

Spirited Away

A classic, Spirited Away is the animated film that even non-anime fans love! And for good reason – the colour palette is vibrant, the characters are unique and draw you in, and let’s not even talk about the serene train scene ( train travel can actually be like that!). But the bathhouse steals the show, so, it’s a good thing then, that this Studio Ghibli location is real, and you can actually go and visit it!

The bathhouse was inspired by two real life locations: the first being the Dogo Onsen Bath House in Matsuyama, Japan , one of the oldest and most renowned bath houses of the country; and the second is the town of Jiufen in northern Taiwan. The traditional architecture and the grandeur of both these places look exactly like Yubaba’s bathhouse – and even the interior of Dogo Onsen looks the same. Be sure to head there for a relaxing steam.

What is Japanese forest bathing and why should you do it?

Princess mononoke.

Princess Mononoke is steeped in thick forests populated by both scary and adorable creatures. Personally, this is the location I’d most want to run away too, because how fun does riding a massive talking wolf sound? Well, the home of the Night-Walker is inspired by Yakushima Island in Japan, and this is a Studio Ghibli location you do not want to miss!

You may have heard of this place before: it’s very popular for the breathtaking forest that the island hosts. It’s deep and emerald green, with misty rivers, moss covered rocks, and small wooden paths. It would be easy to get lost here, so maybe sticking to the outer beaches is best. Additionally, the thatched-roofed houses of Shirakawa-go, might have inspired the film’s Iron Town.

My Neighbour Totoro

If Princess Mononoke is strong and ferocious in its wilderness, the forests and rice fields of My Neighbour Totoro are calm and sweet. Here we find Satsuki and Mei giggling loudly as they chart a course along the peaceful forests and fields, and bump into the cuddly Totoro. Spending a warm spring day here sounds like absolute bliss.

The setting of the film was inspired by the Sayama Hills, also in Japan, which are green and bright. You could spend hours walking here down the paths in the woods and along the bountiful rice fields, listening to the buzzing of cicadas. The area is maintained by locals and you can really feel the love they hold for it.

Japan Winter Wonder

Kiki’s delivery service.

Another movie, another quaint town, but this time we’re heading to the north of Europe, all the way to Sweden . Kiki’s Delivery Service is all about a young witch Kiki who leaves home to head out into the world, and finds herself running errands in the port city of Koriko. Unlike previous entries on this list, this film has a distinctive European feel to it, and perhaps it’s due to the terracotta tiled roofs and the cobblestone streets.

The real town that influenced Koriko is Visby, in Sweden, also a port city overlooking the Baltic Sea, and known for its old and preserved outer wall. The town has many churches and hills, and is an ideal holiday destination for anyone needing to relax. It also gets covered in snow in the winter months , making it its own magical snow globe.

Ponyo , filled with oceans and strange fish and even stranger girls, is probably Miyazaki’s most spellbinding film, and the real life Studio Ghibli location it is inspired by is magical as well. A small port town with traditional Japanese architecture, Sosuke’s home is based on the town of Tomonoura in the Hiroshima Prefecture.

With the ocean on one side and hills and forests on the other, Tonomoura offers the best of what Studio Ghibli does: tranquillity and beautiful landscapes.

Real life Zelda locations to live out your wildest Tears of the Kingdom adventures

The castle in the sky.

Next, it’s The Castle in the Sky, which many believe to have been a source of inspiration for another Japanese company: Nintendo’s Zelda franchise, and the most recent Tears of the Kingdom game ( Princess Mononoke is also believed to have inspired the developers of the game). This movie is particularly beautiful for the land of Laputa, a floating castle covered in greenery, moss, and delicate nature, and home to robots who were once used for destruction, and now know peace.

Though this one has no exact real life counterpart (floating castles aren’t that common just yet…), one interesting tourist attraction in Sri Lanka might have been an influence. The giant rock, which looms over the country’s capital city, is similar to the rock that makes up Laputa, also covered in all sorts of shrubbery. Some also speculate that a lesser known attraction near Osaka, Japan – the Tomogashima Islands – played a role. In any case, the moss and ivy and lush forestry all around create a gorgeous picture reminiscent of this Studio Ghibli classic.

Porco Rosso

Returning to Europe once more, the last of our real life Studio Ghibli locations come from Porco Rosso and are found along the glittering Adriatic sea. There is no specific location for this one, though avid fans speculate that the towns the eponymous pig pilot visits are inspired by Italian and Croatian coasts.

The small islands and villages, fishing towns, and beaches that dot these blue seas were all incorporated into the movie’s backdrops. Though not confirmed, these specific locations seem to be the most likely sources of inspiration: Puglia, and Amalfi in Italy, as well as Stiniva Cove and Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Croatia Island Sail

Nausicaa of the valley of the wind.

So, this is the only entry on the list that doesn’t have a real location, but I suppose that’s a good thing seeing as the world of Nausicaa is overrun by a polluted Toxic Jungle and larger than life insects that protect it. That being said, The Valley of the Wind, where Princess Nausicaa lives, does have a counterpart, but in name only.

The real Valley of the Wind can be found in Australia , in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Much like the world of Nausicaa , this National Park feels like another world with the vivid orange sand and the rock formations that look like they should be on Mars. 

Based on the fictional map of the world found in the manga (which was written by Miyazaki himself), fans have also speculated that it may be based on the Caucasus Mountains, between Europe and Asia .
