Sunsail Sailing Holidays in Croatia
Croatia is one of the world’s newest countries and an old yachting favourite. Its forests, waterfalls and mountains mix with cultural and historical wonders to create a beautiful and fascinating sailing holiday destination. Sailing your own yacht (bareboat) on holiday here guarantees you’ll escape the crowds to the more secluded beaches and quiet anchorages of some 1100 islands and islets along the coast.
Our four Sunsail bases now cover most of the shoreline along the Adriatic, named the cleanest body of water in the world by underwater legend Jacques Cousteau. Explore the world famous walled city of Dubrovnik and discover Croatia’s perfect cruising grounds onboard our selection of popular yachts and catamarans.
