  • Sailing in Hvar
    Hvar rewards thoughtful skippers with luminous anchorages, short tidal-free passages and well-run marinas within easy reach of Split. The trick is timing your hops around the Maestral sea breeze, choosing bays with the right exposure to the Jugo or Bora, and knowing when to swap a rolly town quay for a calm berth across the channel. This guide sets out the practical detail you need: when to go, how the local winds behave, where to anchor or tie up, and what to expect from chartering in the area. Itineraries are designed around realistic legs and reliable shelter, so you spend more time swimming Pakleni coves and wandering Stari Grad’s marble alleys – and less time second-guessing the forecast.

  • Sailing in Croatia
    Croatia’s indented Adriatic shoreline and more than a thousand islands create a sailing ground that feels purpose-built for cruisers. Distances are short, shelter is plentiful, and well-run marinas sit alongside clear-water anchorages and buoy fields. Historic stone towns—Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar and Rovinj—offer culture at the quayside, while nature parks like Kornati, Telašćica and Mljet provide quiet, low-stress passages. Summer brings predictable seabreezes and warm seas; shoulder seasons add a little more breeze with fewer crowds. Whether you are planning a week around Split and Hvar, a windward hop through the Kornati, or a culture-led loop in Istria and Kvarner, Croatia rewards straightforward planning with high sailing value. Charter infrastructure is exceptionally mature, and formalities are simple if you hold an ICC (or equivalent) and a VHF operator’s certificate.

  • Sailing in Kornati & Šibenik Archipelago
    Thread your way through a stone labyrinth of islets, pocket anchorages and parkland channels.

Add a river run to Skradin and the Krka waterfalls, UNESCO heritage in Šibenik and crystal‑clear swimming in sheltered bays, and you have a compact cruising ground that rewards both first‑timers and repeat visitors. This guide sets out the key areas, prevailing winds, seasonal patterns, practical harbour notes and curated itineraries to help you plan a safe, memorable week under sail.
