Croatia · SAILING
A sailing day is slower than a speedboat and reaches fewer islands, which is the point of it. These 7 compare the day charters and shared sails on price, group size and how much of the sailing you get to do.
Spend 10 hours cruising from Split to Hvar, Brač, Pakleni, and Šolta with swim stops, lunch, an open bar, and music.
“Absolutely fun time with great crew, nice locations, well organized and a great way to spend a full day”
Sail from Zadar to Kornati and Telašćica for cliffs, Lake Mir, snorkeling, and a relaxed small-group day on the Adriatic.
“The day went perfectly. The skipper is so nice and very accommodating. It takes 3 h to sail to the Kornati Islands and the same time back. So you can take the time to read a book or talk to the other people on the boat. Sailing is very smooth. The swim with snorkel equipment is great because you can observe a lot of different species of fish. Overall I strongly recommend this day trip if you are in Zadar. Worth every penny !”
Sail from Zadar through the Adriatic, swim and snorkel near Ugljan, stroll Preko, and enjoy a small-group trip for $49.
“A wonderful experience. skipper Ante was very kind and nice. We walked around the beautiful small island of Ošljak, swam in the nearby bay, sailed in the wind... it's really worth going.”
See Rovinj at sunset from a cozy catamaran, hear local stories from Massimo, and watch for dolphins on a small-group sea tour.
“Great tour and great tour guide... nice to have a lokal that actually grew up in the city to tell some stories! Very personal. Not crowded like most other boots we saw! Kids loved the net in the front of the boat (prepare to get wet)! Nice combination of seeing dolphins and a short city tour from the sea!”
Sail from Hvar to two clear-water bays in the Pakleni Islands on a small-group yacht trip with swimming, snorkeling, and a relaxed pace.
“It was lovely. The guide was great helpful funny and informative. Water was beautiful and the boat was very nice!”
Sail Rovinj’s coast on a private handcrafted boat with local hosts, homemade tapas, wine, snorkeling, paddleboards, and island swimming.
“thoughtful, kind and gracious hosts. Great time enjoying sun and snorkeling. The food was lovely and the stop was great.”
Review of Split’s 10-hour catamaran cruise to Brač, with Golden Horn, Vidova Gora, swimming stops, lunch, drinks, and sunset views.
“We cannot say enough good things about this beautiful and informative trip! I am Croatian and even still learned so much on this fun trip, especially from our amazing guide, Ivan. The staff could not have been friendlier, the scenery more beautiful and the atmosphere more calming. Do yourself a favor and book this day trip!!”
