Overview for 5-day Sailing Adventure in Croatia Tour
What better way to enjoy a holiday than sailing in the Adriatic Sea. This guided sailing tour allows you to book a private sailboat for your group. The boat comes with a skipper, so you do not need to pilot the boat, just enjoy the incredible Croatian coast, spending days exploring islands, towns, coves and swimming in the Sea.

On a sailing adventure, be prepared to live at sea, noting that you’ll be subject to the motion of the waves for the duration of the tour.
