A journey through Croatia

Croatia offers one of the most enjoyable sailing routes in Europe, with calm seas, predictable winds and islands that sit close enough together to make every passage relaxed. The trip moves at an easy pace, starting with quiet bays and swim spots before weaving into small harbours and old towns where stone streets, family restaurants and sunset viewpoints become part of the routine.

Each day brings something different. Some mornings begin with a swim in clear water, others with a short sail to a new island. You’ll explore places like Hvar, Vis or Brač, wander through historic streets, try local food and unwind in coves that feel far removed from the busier parts of the coast. Evenings are warm and unhurried, either dining onboard in a peaceful anchorage or finding a great spot ashore.

Croatia suits first-time sailors and returning guests alike because everything is simple, scenic and close together. The water is calm, the distances are manageable and the coastline feels built for a week of easy adventure. It’s the kind of trip where people settle into the rhythm quickly and finish the week feeling rested, sun-soaked and already thinking about coming back.

Itinerary

  • A peaceful island known for its clear water, olive groves and relaxed pace. It’s an ideal place to ease into the trip with a swim, a short walk ashore and a quiet first night at anchor.

  • One of the oldest towns on the Adriatic, Stari Grad has a calm harbour, stone streets and a welcoming feel. It’s a great place to wander, enjoy a simple meal by the water and soak up local life.

  • Just off Hvar, this chain of small islands is perfect for anchoring in sheltered bays. Expect turquoise water, easy swimming and some of the best daytime stops of the week

  • Often described as one of Croatia’s most unspoiled islands, Vis feels quieter and more authentic than much of the coast. Ashore, small towns and simple restaurants reflect a slower way of life, giving the island a calm, almost timeless atmosphere that many guests end up calling their favourite stop of the week.

  • Set around a beautiful historic square, Hvar Town blends old stone architecture with a lively atmosphere. Walk up to the fortress for views over the harbour, then enjoy dinner and evening drinks ashore.

  • A traditional harbour town with a relaxed feel and good shelter. Milna is known for its calm moorings, friendly waterfront and unhurried evenings.

  • A UNESCO-listed town full of narrow streets, historic buildings and buzzing cafés. It’s a memorable final stop, perfect for exploring on foot before the trip comes to an end.
