There are islands that are privately owned but this cannot hinder you from enjoying as there are a lot of them that are public and you can still enjoy to your maximum.


The sunsets are stunning: Watching the sunset with your sailing buddies is way so fun especially when you pop a bottle of wine and watch the sun sink back behind the horizon. Croatian sunset is considered to be the most beautiful in the world.

There are a lot of things that you need to consider when visiting Croatia as a sailing lover. 
You need to have a proper plan for the Croatia sailing trip and this entails booking of a good boat, meals and accommodation facilities. There are boats that do have cabins in them so you do not have to worry about that, others require you to book a hotel as you will be spending nights in an island. Remember that the boat size should also be considered as you cannot be a group of 10 people and have a very small boat. Enquire about the boat age to avoid getting a worn out boat.

Breakfast and lunch are usually offered at the boat while dinners are usually at a local restaurant.
The best sailing region is the Split and Dubrovnik. Dalmatian coast has so many beautiful islands, so many restaurant selections, old town and forts. It is popular to the young people as the nightlife is amazing. Pula, Rovinj and Porec are so the most famous coastal towns to make stop overs at Istria the northern coast of Croatia. 


Visit Croatia between April and October because of the climate although sailing season gets high between June and September as there are a lot of people visiting the place. It is up to decide if you want to visit when it is crowded or when there are no many people. 


During the day you can visit the local towns you do not have to do sailing the whole time. You can also swim or do other water sports just to have fun.
