Croatia will join the "Schengen" agreement in the EU from 1 January 2023. This means that you will be able to enter Croatia with a "Schengen visa", which is valid for all European countries, from 1 January 2023, and from March 2023 this will also apply to entry by air. Here you can find detailed information on the regulations of the Schengen visa, which is required for entry into the EU: >>>>LINK

The climate along the Croatian Adriatic is typically Mediterranean, with average summer air temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, and in midsummer even up to 35 degrees Celsius.

As everywhere in the Mediterranean, Croatia is dominated by thermal winds. They arise in the mornings due to the higher warming of the land compared to the sea caused by the sun. The warm air rises and the air over the sea flows towards the land: the sea wind develops. In midsummer, up to 3-4 Bft. The sea wind diminishes in the late afternoon. In the evening, the airflow reverses and a very light wind (1-2 Bft) blows from the land towards the sea.

Occasionally there are two winds to watch out for: the Bora from the northwest and the Yugo from the south. However, Croatia's very good and up-to-date weather reports give plenty of warning so that you have enough time to seek shelter in one of the many marinas or at an anchorage.

The ideal time for sailing is from May to September.

Croatia is the most popular sailing destination in the Mediterranean for yacht owners and charterers in Europe. Some 6,000 km of coastline and more than 1,000 islands offer a unique variety.

On the Croatian coast there are more than 70 large and well-kept marinas with all amenities and 340 small and large harbours, some of them in the middle of historic old towns. The Croatian coastline is lined with 1185 islands and islets. There are also marinas or often bays with mooring buoys, for which a small usage fee is charged. In this way, you can experience and enjoy the beauties of nature away from the hustle and bustle.                        

In short, a sailing area to relax, experience and recuperate.

Not all sailing licences of non-EU citizens are recognised in Croatia. Please send us a copy of your sailing licence with your charter application. We will check the validity with the charter base in advance. In Croatia, a radiotelephony certificate is also required.

We strongly recommend that you hire a local skipper for the planned charter. He speaks the local language and in any case also English.

The skipper knows the local conditions, recommends suitable routes taking into account weather and wind forecasts. He knows the best marinas and the most beautiful anchorages and can book overnight moorings, help with restaurant reservations, shopping and much more. Please always consider a separate cabin on board for the captain.
