Destination Croatia

With its calm seas, picturesque pebbled beaches and delightfully warm Mediterranean climate, and comprising more than 1200 islands, Croatia is among the world’s finest sailing playgrounds. The  best way to see it is by boat. There is plenty to get excited about on and offshore, from vibrant diving and snorkelling spots to beautiful national parks, stunning architecture and rich history. Charter a yacht in Croatia, wind your way through the Dalmatian Coast and enjoy the diverse mixture of islands, or go north to the Istrian Peninsula and Kvarner Bay for a higher concentration of marinas and a more cosmopolitan feel. Boasting around 200km of rocky, indented shore, Croatia is unspoiled beauty at its best.
