Croatia has over 1770km of extraordinarily beautiful coastline. More than 1,200 islands dot the Adriatic sea off the coast of Croatia, easily making it one of the most delightful sailing locations not only in the Eastern Mediterranean, but all of Europe. Our base is located in Sibenik, in a deep, naturally protected bay on the Adriatic coast. A quieter town than its’ neighbours, Split and Dubrovnik, you will find this beautiful little town full of history and known for its’ beautiful 14th century cathedral. A few kilometres north of the city is Krka National park with its many waterfalls, lush forest, historical and archaeological remains. To make the most of your sailing holiday in Croatia, it is recommended that your charter should be of 14 nights as there is so much to take in and enjoy.
