Sailing in Croatia

Sailing in Croatian waters
Croatia is for many sailors a favorite sailing areas in the Mediterranean. The waters in the eastern Adriatic is also called the Caribbean of Europe. The mainland coast of Croatia is about 1,800 km and has nearly 1,200 large, small, green, barren, inhabited and uninhabited islands.
Almost 5,800 km coastline make every sailor's heart beat faster. An optimal and diversified area, something for everyone and almost everything on the doorstep.

Marinas, harbors, anchorages
Croatia has a relatively dense network of marinas, small town and fishing harbors. Service and supply in the major ports are good. In the smaller ports, the supply is limited. Quite high prices can be found in the larger marinas. An alternative are the "Konobas", small owner-operated bars directly on the shore, which hosts sailors "who eats at me can stay for free". But also there are many good anchorages in bays along the coast. In many bays are now fee-mooring buoys for yachts. We try to give our sailing trips a healthy mix of bays and marinas. That means we go 1-2x per week in a harbours or marina.

Wind and Weather
The Summer Wind "Maestrale" (Mistral) brings mostly moderate, north-westerly winds to 4 Bft. If the Adriatic is under the influence of an Atlantic low pressure, can from the south the Yugo, or even called sirocco, strong blow to 8 Bft. Especially in Dalmatia, between Island of Murter and Split and the Makarska coast, the Bora can come from the northeast. She is strong gusty, often reached gale force and their short gusts use with no visible sign. Along the coastline you can easily see the main arterial corridors: bare rock with no trees and shrubs.
