Furthermore, these tours often include unique excursions such as touring UNESCO World Heritage sites or snorkeling in crystal-clear waters or enjoying wine tasting on idyllic islands.
Stoke Travel provides yacht-based itineraries that take you to iconic ports and island vistas, from historic Dubrovnik and Split on an seven-night Adventure Sailing trip, or sailing through Kornati National Park’s Zlarin and Kaprije islands.

Sailing vacations in Croatia can be enjoyed year-round, though certain months offer optimal conditions for various kinds of sailing trips. April through June and late September/October offer cooler temperatures with less crowds, making these periods great times for swimming, sunbathing and sailing trips.
From June through August, Croatia experiences its peak season: warmer temperatures, increased crowds at popular beaches and destinations, and higher airfare and yacht charter prices. If you prefer more tranquil experiences away from tourists’ crowds, May is an excellent month for sailing excursions in Croatia: cooler temperatures, steady winds, and sunny sea make this period the ideal time for discovering its island landscapes at a slower pace – the Elegance Wine Cruise being one such sailing tour for wine enthusiasts in this time.
Eco-Friendly Cruises
Sailing yachts provide a thrilling way to discover Croatia’s island treasures. While sailing across crystal-clear waters and basking in the sunshine, you will get closer to nature while experiencing luxury on an eco-friendly trip such as exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites or swimming in pristine beaches. In contrast to cruises which transport passengers quickly from one destination to the next in a day, sailing yachts allow more time at each spot of interest.
In 2023, UK-based sail croatia witnessed an astounding spike in bookings for its specialized cruise experiences: hike cruises saw 77% growth; Navigator party cruises experienced 68% increase and cycle cruises experienced 30% expansion – all figures which showcase modern travelers’ thirst for meaningful journeys that connect to their passions rather than just providing an escape.

These two additions joined “Swan Song” and ‘Flatfish” already present within its portfolio of yachting options.

Sail Croatia’s crew strives to make each tour as sustainable as possible, by using locally produced ingredients, promoting responsible tourism practices, reducing their environmental impact through responsible tourism initiatives and founding non-profit organization Green Sail that promotes sustainability in Croatian maritime industry. In fact, they’ve even gone as far as installing solar panels across their fleet of yachts for powering them!
