Due to their great popularity, sailing boat hire are available in all of our sailing regions in Croatia. The regions below are listed from north to south:

The sailing season and high season coincide perfectly, meaning you can enjoy the endless sunshine and swim in pleasant sea temperatures while cruising the Adriatic Sea. The months before and after the peak months, July and August, is also a brilliant time to set sail and explore as the temperatures are cooler, all the while enjoyable, and the crowds are fewer. Temperatures in the summertime average 25°C to 30°C and the wind force blows in a north-westerly direction at approx. 3 - 4. 

Croatia’s inland capital, Zagreb (ZAG), Split (SPU) and Dubrovnik (DBV) are the three main airports, though smaller airports operate regional flights during high season. 

It’s worth checking smaller airports such as Rijeka Airport (RJK) and Pula Airport (PUY) as they often have direct European flights, too.

Train services are networked mainly inland, as opposed to along the coast, so if taking public transport we recommend taking the bus.
