Fabulous sailing holiday!

We had a fabulous week (first week in October) with Sail Croatia. The catamaran was lovely- well equipped and meticulously clean. Weather was perfect. Our skipper Igor was great - super competent, knowledgeable and relaxed. The islands themselves are superb, with great swimming and snorkelling, and the villages are really accessible and welcoming. Sail Croatia communication was impeccable and everyone is really helpful. Definitely bring or hire snorkels and flippers! Highly recommend.

Outstanding experience!

We sailed on the Alley Cat for 7 days and were so impressed. The boat itself was amazing with plenty of space for all of our stuff as well as numerous places for lounging and enjoying the travel experience. We had an amazing crew with a super funny and knowledgeable captain, Mislav, that devised a great itinerary based on our personal interests. We also decided to hire a hostess which was by far the best decision we made. Matea's culinary skills and attention to detail were outstanding and she always went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The country of Croatia is beautiful, the islands all unique and exciting, and the water is clear and brilliant. We enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Best trip ever!

This trip was, hands down, the best we have ever taken. We are currently a family of five who met up from Texas, Colorado and California. Sailing for a week was the perfect way to gain uninterrupted family time while also seeing and experiencing some of the most amazing places in the world. Croatia is breathtaking and the people are inviting and kind. The very best part of the trip is easy to pick- our Captain Tony and hostess Stephanie! Tony helped us develop the perfect itinerary while Stephanie care for us the way she would her own family- grocery shopping, preparing exquisite breakfast, lunch and snacks, and keeping the cabin organized and clean. In these two people, we all agree, we have made friends for life. We can not wait to share the experience again with family and friends!!

Commencing in the waterfront city of Split, this itinerary heads south through the islands of Brac, Vis and Hvar before returning back to ACI Marina, Split. This star studded itinerary spends two days at each island, allowing you to discover the charm of each location on the island and really get to know your destination.

Split, Croatia
Check-in
Split
Summary

Upon arriving at Split Airport, your included Airport Transfer will transport you to ACI Marina, where your Private Yacht Tour will begin! If you arrive earlier than check in time, check out the beautiful Old Town of Split, located a short stroll away. Split is well known for its stunning Diocletian's Palace, a 4th Century structure created by the Roman emperor, Diocletian.

Once home to thousands, its sprawling remains include more than 200 buildings, cobbled stone streets and charming courtyards, cafes, galleries and cafes all waiting to be explored!

This is also a good time to purchase any food, toiletries, or other supplies you’ll need for the week. We would only recommend purchasing enough for the first day or two as there are plenty of stores at each destination to stock up on food throughout the week.

Supetar, Croatia
Day 1
Supetar
Summary

Depart on a short, yet impressive sail from Split to Supetar - the main town on Brac island. Located on the northern side of Brac and surrounded by thick pine forest, Supetar is a great introduction to the beautiful Dalmatian coastline, ensuring you make the most of your first night!

If Croatian cuisine is on your must-try list, then you’re in the perfect location, with plenty of local restaurants in town! Supetar has a population of just over 3,000 people, and is small enough that all sights can be reached by a leisurely walk.

The history of this island goes back as far as the Roman colonisation, which took place around 100 BC, meaning that many historical attractions on the island (including churches, quarries and museums) are all waiting to be explored.

Approximate Mooring Fees:
  • Mooring buoys: €30 - 40 for monohulls and €40 - 50 for catamarans. *Cash only
  • Marinas: €60 - 300 depending on locaction and size. *Cash & card available

Vis, Croatia
Day 2
Vis Town
Summary

A charming and elegant island, Vis is mostly known for its military background (it was a strategic military post in WWII), traditional way of life, and stunning natural phenomena; the Blue Caves. Vis was once known as the “Forbidden Island” and was off limits to foreigners until 1992. Today, the island is quickly growing into a vibrant tourist destination.

A benefit of the lack of tourism until 20 years ago is that a traditional way of life has been maintained, providing an insight into authentic Croatia, preserved buildings and a thriving fishing community. Renting a bike or scooter is a great way to get around Vis and really take in this scenic island streaked with vineyards, charming villages, and sun-soaked mountains.

Approximate Mooring Fees:

Komiza is located on the southern edge of Vis island, set at the foot of a spectacular mountain range! The contrast of eclectic terracotta rooftops and the quaint harbour make for many gorgeous photos against the beautiful backdrop of the Adriatic Sea.

Komiza is the nearest town to the island of Bisevo, home to the spectacular natural phenomenon that is the Blue Caves. There’s no shortage of things to do if you would rather stay on dry land, including exploring dozens of military bunkers, bases, fortresses and museums. The cave offers rewarding views to those who make the climb.

Both Vis and Komiza/Blue Caves can be done in one day if you prefer to spend more time elsewhere on the islands (Hvar is a popular choice).

Hvar has plenty of waterfront cafes and narrow streets leading to secluded local restaurants for an unforgettable evening meal. If Hvar’s nightlife is on your radar, head out to Carpe Diem or Nautica Bar!

You can explore Stari Grad on foot and take in its network of cobblestone streets, small squares and boutique galleries. There is no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants along the harbourfront to enjoy as the sun goes down, so make sure you secure your sunset viewing spot with a cocktail in hand!

Situated in the pine-covered Vicja Luka valley, you’ll fall so in love with its peaceful, scenic surroundings and pristine turquoise water, that you’ll struggle to keep this one a secret. A town of only 70 inhabitants, Bobovisca is best enjoyed with good conversation and a glass of local wine in hand, as you listen to the lapping of waves and watch the sun set.

Our Private Yacht Tours include a yacht/catamaran, skipper, airport transfers, unlimited fuel for the week, damage waiver insurance, Wi-Fi and local taxes.

As we offer a flexible itinerary, guests need to budget for mooring fees throughout the week. Please see "What are the average mooring costs" FAQ for approximate costs. You will also need to budget for food and drinks for the crew onboard, please see FAQ "Who will my Skipper be".

What about food and drink?

Food and drink are not included in a Private Yacht Tour. Each yacht is equipped with a kitchenette including a gas stove, oven and kettle. There is a small grocery store at ACI Marina in Split as well as the many stops during the week. This way you can pick out exactly the food you'll prefer for breakfast and lunch at sea. In the evenings you'll have a wide variety of restaurant options. Croatia has delicious, locally-grown food, and your skipper will be happy to recommend the perfect restaurant for your group.

Who will my Skipper be?

All Private Yacht Tours have a professional and licensed Skipper included in the price. They are responsible for sailing your vessel, creating your personalised itinerary, organising marina reservations during the week and much more. Most of our Skippers are of Croatian background, and will all speak English.

It is the industry standard for guests to budget for food and drinks for the skipper and host/hostess (if booked) throughout the week. They will rarely turn down an invitation to dine out as a member of your party, but they also won’t mind dining separately. We recommend budgeting 20-30 Euros per person, per day for food.

Why should I book a host/hostess?

Hiring a host/hostess allows you to sit back and relax on your sailing vacation! A host/hostess will take care of preparing small meals for breakfast and lunch, keeping the yacht clean and tidy, topping up groceries throughout the week, assisting with organising excursions and much more. The price of a host/hostess is €1,120 for the week.

Some of our catamarans have a host/hostess included in the price, this is noted on the webpage for each of the applicable vessels.

What ages are suitable for a Private Yacht Tour?

All ages are welcome onboard our yachts although practically it is recommended children are able to swim and additional considerations be taken into account such as moving around the yachts, moving booms and ropes, slippery surfaces, boarding and crossing from shore to the yacht. Risks are clearly visible and additional precautions should be taken with children onboard particularly for non-swimmers. Life jackets are provided for all passengers onboard and buoyancy vests are available fo those that prefer lighter gear.

How do Airport Transfers work?

Each Private Yacht Tour is entitled to 2 transfers per booking. Arrival transfers are included between the airport and your hotel, or from the airport straight to the marina on day 1 of your tour. Departure transfers are also included from the marina to the airport, or from the marina to your hotel on the last day of your tour. We will be in touch closer to your departure to organise your complimentary Airport Transfers.

What are the average mooring costs in Croatia?

Mooring buoys (estimated 30-40 Euros per night for monohulls and 40-50 Euros for catamarans*) are great if you’re looking for a private mooring solution. Marinas on the other hand, (60 - 300 Euros per night depending on location and size*) have cafes, restaurants, showers & toilet facilities along with shore power and fresh-water refills for the yacht. In our experience a mixture of both options gives the best balance through the week for most groups. We find overnighting in locations that are a little further from marinas and towns are generally more affordable. Most Marinas only accept cash, however some may accept credit cards.

*Please note: The cost of mooring buoys and marinas are estimations and are based on a 40ft yacht. The size of your vessel and date may affect the price of mooring buoys and marinas. Whilst it's not always possible, some marinas may be reserved ahead of time through your Skipper, however, a tip is expected by marina staff to hold a spot. 1 night of mooring at Split ACI Marina is included free for Sail Croatia yachts and catamarans.

Should I plan my itinerary in advance?

We recommend using our sample itineraries as a guide to give you an idea of where you would like to visit. At check-in, you and your skipper will create a personalised itinerary that factors in the forecasted weather and your must-see destinations. Please note, sample itineraries may not always be possible due to weather conditions and marina availability.

What are the sleeping arrangements?

The yachts and catamarans within our fleet feature mostly double cabins with some twin/bunk cabins. If all cabins are in use onboard a yacht, the Skipper will use the salon seating area to sleep in, which converts to a double bed. Onboard most catamarans there are separate beds for the Skipper and Host/Hostess located in the bow. These are only used by crew in the event that all cabins onboard are in use as they are very small and basic. Please note that crew cabins are not equipped with a bathroom, meaning that the Skipper will require access to a bathroom.

How much luggage can I bring onboard?

Due to limited storage space on the yacht, soft luggage (duffle bags or similar) is recommended as these bags are easiest to store onboard and don’t damage our yachts.

Large suitcases and excess luggage can be stored before arriving at the marina. Weekly baggage storage is available near the main bus station arrivals area on the other side of the port.

What supplies are included onboard?

Each vessel comes supplied with the following:

  • Outboard Engine (with full fuel tank)
  • Kitchen utensils, crockery and cooking equipment
  • Dishwashing detergent and kitchen cleaning equipment
  • Bathrooms have toilet paper, soap and shampoo and towels for showering
  • Beach towels
  • Coffee capsules are only included for vessels that are equipped with a Coffee Machine onboard. A Coffee Starter Pack of 20 Capsules is included, but for the avid coffee drinker you can request to purchase more.
Are water toys included?

When booking a Private Yacht Tour on our Catamarans, you will be provided with one Stand Up Paddleboard and 4 Snorkelling Sets which are included in the price of your experience. If you are booking one of our Monohull yachts then you can add these to your booking at an additional cost.
