Did you know Croatia was the sixth most popular destination for megayachts all over the world in 2021? There also predictions that the country will belong to the world’s top three yachting destinations by 2026. But what is it that makes yachting in Croatia so special?
Yachting in Croatia is yachting at its best!
Most probably you have heard about Croatia’s natural beauty. The immense, glimmering coastline, the breathtaking beaches, the great variety of diverse but beautiful islands (it is not by chance that Croatia is known as “the land of 1000 islands”), all come together to create a country of unmatched beauty. But there’s even more to it. Croatia has a number of comparative advantages that make it the ideal yacht charter destination:
⦁ Island hopping is easier and more affordable
The way Croatian islands are scattered in the Adriatic Sea makes Croatia the ideal yacht charter destination since many of them are close to the shore, making island hopping easier in terms of time and expenses in comparison to other yachting destinations nearby, such as Italy or Greece. So, yachting in Croatia allows you to explore more destinations in little time without you having to worry about tickets, ship schedules and other technicalities.
⦁ Croatia’s maritime law is conducive to yachting
In contrast to neighbor countries that also attract yachting travelers, in Croatia a boat’s captain is allowed to drop anchor literally anywhere. You don’t need to drop anchor in the middle of the sea and find a way to reach the beach you like. The waters are deep even when you are close to shore, so you can drop anchor just some meters from the coast and enjoy the beach of your preference without any restriction!
⦁ From boatbuilding to yachting services, Croatians know it all
The “land of 1000 islands” has a long tradition in boatbuilding that dates back to the 18th century, so when it comes to ships and sailing, Croatians are experts! Most boat owners in Croatia are involved in the whole process, from designing and building the boat to planning the services offered onboard and scheduling the rides. Thus, you can rest assured that you will enjoy professional yachting services in absolute safety during your cruise. Is there anything more you could ask from a yacht charter?
⦁ Exceptional maritime infrastructure
A country with such a great history in boatbuilding could not sweep the necessary infrastructure aside. One of the reasons why Croatia is so popular among yacht sailors is that it offers exceptional maritime infrastructure that makes anchoring trouble-free even for inexperienced sailors. With more than 60 marinas appropriately equipped even on remote islands, you can rest assured that you will reach a safe harbor almost anywhere in Croatia.
⦁ A climate created for sailing
Croatia’s mild Mediterranean climate is ideal for a great sailing experience. If you choose to go on a sailing trip in the summer, the hot sun and warm sea provide the ideal opportunity for swimming and water sports. If you are more into peaceful sailing and would like to avoid the crowds, you can visit Croatia in April or October, when the weather is warm, the wind is advantageous and there are fewer visitors.
⦁ A yacht charter destination for every taste
Many people think that yachting equals luxury and in many cases this is true, but it is not the only way to enjoy sailing. If you love sailing, but prefer a low-key ambience, Croatia is for you! Unlike Greece and Italy, in Croatia you can have a more sophisticated yacht cruise, away from the glamorous party boats and the luxurious events. On the other hand, if you are all for luxury and partying during your vacation, Croatia also offers many destinations to do so at a more affordable price.
⦁ Awesome hospitality and services
You can never feel unwanted in Croatia. Being a popular tourist destination, the country offers a great visiting experience to every traveler. Most Croatians speak English and are always happy to provide information or assistance to foreign visitors. Plus, there is a great variety of amenities to satisfy your every need!
