Tips for Getting More Value Out of Your Sailing Vacation in Croatia
Everyone wants to get the most value for money, and we offer different options to suit your budget. You can charter one of our luxury yachts for a private holiday or charter a cabin on one of our public sailings for a fraction of the cost. Here are a few more tips to help you get ready for your Croatian sailing holiday:
-
Our talented crew will take care of your breakfasts and lunches with an unparalleled menu catering to vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. For dinners, you are on your own to explore the fantastic and often inexpensive restaurants and cafes in the cities and towns that we reach at the end of the day.
-
If you have the time to spare, make sure to reach Croatia a day or two before the yacht sets sail. Both Split and Dubrovnik are beautiful cities with many attractions to explore and experience, make sure you make it to the marina with plenty of time to spare. Arriving a day or two early usually means a better airport experience, too as Saturdays are usually the busiest days at the airports in Croatia.
-
People tend to over pack for their sailing holiday, but we always recommend packing light. Remember your swimwear, something to wear when you go out for the evening and a warm jacket in case. We provide bed linens and towels, but you may bring your own beach towels. Don’t forget rock shoes if you plan on doing a little exploring.
What Sets Med Sailing Holidays Apart Regarding a Crewed Yacht Charter in Croatia
We offer a higher level of service and cater to a wider range of guests. A few of the things that sets us apart include:
-
There are no hidden fees or ‘departure taxes’ when you come on board. When we say our packages are transparent and inclusive, we mean it.
-
Our boats come with Wi-Fi at no extra charge. In Croatia, we provide 4G with unlimited data.
-
We provide your breakfasts and lunches, but you are also free to bring food and drink. Galley space is limited, so plan accordingly.
Things to Do on Your Bareboat Charter in Croatia
If you know how to handle a sailing yacht and want to experience the beauty of the Dalmatian coast in seclusion, try bareboat sailing in Croatia. Unlike our other private charters, the bareboat option comes without a crew and gives you the freedom to explore some of Croatia’s 1, 000 islands. To get the most out of your bareboat charter, it is best to plan to make sure the activities you and your group are interested in are available. This option is perfect for couples or small groups looking for adventure. Here are a few of our favourite places along the Dalmatian Coast to give you an idea of where to steer the yacht:
-
Dubrovnik is one of the two cities our Croatian charters depart from, and it more than earned the title of ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. A haven for lovers of history, it has played an important maritime role for millennia and even rivalled the Republic of Venice for control of trade in the Adriatic. Don’t forget to take many pictures of the imposing Lovrijenac fortress.
-
Situated about halfway between Dubrovnik and Split, Vis is always a popular island to visit with family-friendly beaches and numerous activities and excursions to try for the adventurous type.
-
Split is Croatia’s second largest city and home to plenty of outdoor activities including white water rafting and one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.
Why Trust Med Sailing Holidays Regarding Family Sailing Holidays in Croatia
Many of our guests choose to bring the whole family on one of our yacht holidays in Croatia, often choosing a private charter to have the boat to themselves. The turquoise waters of the Dalmatian Coast offer something for everyone, from those who want to sit back and relax, to those who crave adventure in the water, or even history buffs more interested in the beautiful ancient cities that dot the coast. With a private charter, you can design a custom itinerary based on where your family wants to go and what they want to do. There is no better way to create memories that will last a lifetime.
