The best time to sail in Croatia is June to Mid-September. August is the peak month, with school holidays in play. June and July are both wonderful months to visit, with the sea temperature gradually rising as the weeks go by. Early July, and the very end of August and start of September are favourite times to sail outside of the school holidays. If you’re looking for a great deal, then May and October are the months for you!
The dedicated bases for the Kvarner Islands are located around Pula, on the Istrian Peninsula, and include ACI Marina Pula and Marina Medulin. You can also enter the Kvarner sailing area from the south, particularly from Zadar, though it’s slightly further away and better suited to a two-week holiday.
Seamaster offer flight and transfer inclusive sailing holidays to the Kvarner Islands. To fly there, Pula Airport is best, being just 15-20 minutes from the Pula bases. If you wish to sail the Kvarner Islands from Zadar, then Zadar Airport is best.
You should expect hot, settled conditions with light winds from late-May through to mid-September. July and August are peak temperature months, with May and October being early and late season, respectively. June and September offer an excellent compromise of hot dry weather without the blistering heat (and crowds).
There are mooring fees in Croatia. Simply, this is a charge incurred for mooring your yacht in marinas, on buoys, or on town quays. The prices are based on numerous factors including the type of mooring, the time of year and the size of the yacht. We recommend that you budget €400 for an average sized yacht doing a 'normal' mixed itinerary of anchorages, marinas, town quays and mooring buoys. You are ultimately in control and can reduce or increase this cost depending on where you moor. Marinas are the most expensive, while anchoring is often free.
If you’re not availing yourself of one of our exclusive Seamaster crew, to sail in Croatia you are required to have at least a RYA Day Skipper certificate or higher and a VHF (Short Range Radio) license. We recommend having an ICC certificate (International Certificate of Competence). If you are in any doubt, please contact Seamaster and we will advised you or even get pre-approval.
