Explore the wonders of coastal Croatia on this 5-day sailing adventure tour
Take the first step towards a private travel experience, customized just for you.
About this 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.
Croatia is renowned for its heavenly islands in the Adriatic Sea; in fact, several regattas occur in this country every year. And if you’re a sailing enthusiast who also likes celebrating on the water, you’ve probably heard of Sail Week. This sailing adventure tour gives you a taste of life on the water!
The archipelago off the coast of Croatia boasts an exceptional array of islands to visit. This 5-day sailing tour will bring you to some of the most spectacular spots, uninhabited island gems, and two National Parks. You embark from Split and sail around the Dalmatian area, berthing in some of the best marinas in the country.
You can customize this tour to suit your preferences. Do you want an authentic nautical experience on a standard sailboat? Or are you looking for a tour where you can relent responsibility, have food service, and just relax? Either way, you’ll find a vessel to suit your needs. You’re the master of this tour!
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. During the trip, guests are responsible for their activities. Some fixed itineraries include snorkelling, as listed below, but you can customize this tour to your preferences. The following itinerary is an example of a 5-day tour; that said, these itineraries are flexible, and you can charter a boat for as long as you want!
This tour departs from Split and navigates towards another coastal town called Primosten. Its unique geography resembles the island it once was, but it was narrowly attached to mainland Croatia in the 16th century. Primosten is synonymous with relaxation, and it delivers: lay out on the beach, stroll slowly through town, find a nice stone patio in the sun and have a drink, and indulge in some gourmet Croatian dishes. On the way to Primosten, your Skipper will bring you to hidden coves for swimming and snorkelling, if you wish.
Leaving Primosten in the morning, you will sail into the Luka Canal towards Skradin, one of the oldest settlements in Croatia with a rich cultural heritage. This is where you’ll stop before entering Krka National Park, an enchanting reserve of cascading lakes and waterfalls. Explore the area at your leisure and admire the Franciscan Monastery built on a small island in the middle of Visovac Lake—truly impressive! Head back to Skradin to spend the night in the marina.
Today includes an exceptional excursion to the mostly uninhabited Kornati Islands. Recognized as a National Park, the landscapes here comprise of rugged white cliffs next to the serene vivid blue sea. The archipelago hides innumerable coves to dock near to swim and snorkel. You’ll feel like you’re in paradise! Navigate to the small island of Piskera to anchor for the night.
Keeping on theme with finding peaceful, magnificent islands, today you’ll visit Kaprije Island, named after its agricultural wealth in capers—an ingredient you’ll find many Croatian dishes. You’ll notice a few unique points about this island: cars are prohibited, so it feels very peaceful, and there are only a few cafes and restaurants. Get a taste of what sailing in the Mediterranean used to be like before it exploded in nautical tourism.
Leave early from Kaprije Island to leave time to visit the marvellous blue lagoon on nearby Veli Drvenik Island. It doesn’t look like the typical Mediterranean landscape—you may feel like you’ve sailed to the tropics when you see this white-sand beach and calm turquoise water. Soak up the last moments of this sailing journey before heading back to Split in the late afternoon and disembark for the end of your tour.
Observe the vivid colours in the sky each evening as you watch the sunset on the horizon.
Dock at uninhabited islands for a glimpse of rocky cliffs next to turquoise water.
Enjoy life at sea: bask in the sun on the deck, feel the wind in your hair, and admire the bright blue sea around you.
Sail to Krka National Park and marvel at the Franciscan Monastery built in the middle of Visovac Lake.
