There are a number of reasons why Sailing holidays are attracting people from all over the world. Sailing holiday is the only vacation that combines the charm of the country’s mainland with white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and the ability to cruise through stunning coastal towns, islands and bays on your own time.

Sailing is a holiday in which you can decide, depending on your mood, where and how to spend your time. If you want to party, you can watch the sunset from a seafood restaurant and then attend a beach party or dance till sunrise in a night club. If you prefer peace and quiet, you can visit a small fishing village or one of the many empty coves.

1. Sailing lets you find some peace and quiet

Sailing is a great way to bring peace and quiet into our busy lives; the simple sounds of the wind as it fills the sails, or the water as it flows past the boat can be very relaxing and centering, a perfect antidote to the stresses of the modern world. It gives busy people the understanding that they can relax, whilst at the same time focusing on sailing.

When you are sailing you can get in touch with your inner child and begin to explore the world around you. You are not bound by tour guides, deadlines or stuck in some boring resort or hotel. Each day is a new adventure and the possibilities of being on open water are endless.

You are free to enjoy the stuff you like: visit hidden bays and beaches, explore the mainland, set sail to a new harbour, bay or cove each day. You can also explore historical towns, their history and enjoy the best cuisine each destination has to offer.

Want to stay a day extra or get away from the crowd? No problem. There is no need to worry about extra hotel charges. You are not bound by time or need to feel any pressure because sailing is truly one of the most flexible holiday adventures out there.

Some sailors gain a profound sense of oneness with their boat, the sea and the wind. The boat becomes a self-contained universe, the process of sailing becomes all consuming. Any sense of time changes and expands, small moments becoming more important. Sailing can be a meditative, reflective and engrossing experience.

4. Sailing lets you get away from it all

As you step onto the boat, the busy world that you’re so used to starts to fade away. As you sail away from the shore, the things that happen on land become small, background concerns. The boat is the center of the world, and everything that matters is right there, in the boat or immediately around it. It’s not as much about where you are sailing, but the enjoyment and challenge of the journey itself.

Croatia is surely beautiful, exploring the Adriatic coast, while sailing will give you the most beautiful view and the most spectacular experience of Croatia that you can imagine. From your yacht every destination you visit will take on its most beautiful and most impressive form.

One tip: when sailing along the coast, explore both towns and beaches, bays or coves every day. Imagine the thrill of exploring the Croatian islands by sea. You can spend every afternoon on a new beach and spend every night in a different location.

Believe us, nothing beats traveling by sea and gazing across the ocean just to catch a glimpse of your next destination. Relax, set sail and admire the stunning scenery of your next destination!

6. Being a sailor teaches you lots of technical skills and expertise

A large part of sailing is about experience, self-confidence and Learning the right skills. Moment to moment, you develop an understanding of what needs to happen to keep yourself, your crew and the boat safe and get to where you need to be. Every moment on the water is different, and being able to react and deal with any situation that comes up is a challenge that many sailors relish. The combination of artistry and science when sailing is a great way for people to enhance their understanding of both, and get a real feeling of accomplishment. In addition to the mental skills needed, sailing is also a good way to stay fit, as there’s plenty of exercise to be had!

7. Being on a boat increases the sense of freedom and speed

There’s a great freedom in sailing, that of gliding effortlessly across the water, the boat slicing through the waves as the wind fills the sails. If you’re in a race, the perfect breeze with the right boat, trim and technique means that you can speed along and get a real appreciation of space, time, excitement and life.

Which do you find more appealing: spending your days cruising from island to island, diving into clear Adriatic sea and sunbathing on the deck, or lugging your bags through hot and sweaty public transport, hiring rental cars and each day having to pack and repack your already bulging suitcase?

Sailing on a yacht will also give you and your family the ultimate privacy. Within crowded hotels you will rarely find a place where you and your loved ones will get to be alone and enjoy your privacy besides your hotel room.

But, the sea isn’t crowded, and when you sail on your own yacht you have the privacy to do anything you want. You can choose to sleep on deck, gazing up at the starry night sky, or head to a secluded cove for a picnic lunch. But when you do feel like enjoying the company of others, you can anchor at a stunning harbour and experience the local restaurants and nightlife before returning to your comfortable home on the water.

Chartering a yacht and sailing is a completely relaxing experience, and each day you’ll feel glamorous, comfortable and totally carefree.

9. Sailing is a great way to feel connected to nature

Sailing is a very pure form of being with nature. Whether that’s capturing the wind in the sails to propel you along, feeling the currents in the river or the sea or understanding how the weather is going to affect the boat, you learn a tremendous amount of respect for the natural world. Sailing is also very environmentally friendly; you’re not polluting the sky or the ocean with fossil fuels, but travelling the same way that mankind has done for thousands of years.

Sailing needs a good, consistent, constant focus; it demands your attention. The wind and water are dynamic, and understanding any changes that you need to make, especially if you are sailing competitively, is vital to doing well. If you’re racing, you also learn to refine and improve techniques very quickly, whether that’s boat positioning, trimming the sails or distributing weight to build up speed.

11. You Get more for your money

When people first hear about sailing, the first thing that usually comet in mind is „luxury“. But the truth is far away from that. One of the major reasons why 20 million people booked boats last year is that they are excellent value for money. Renting a boat or a yacht has never been more affordable.

During the high seasons, hotels are extremely expensive, so if you are going on a summer vacation with your family and friends the cost of sailing will be significantly less and it will give you a brand new experience without any hidden costs, compared to the travelling on mainland.

12. Being a sailor is about being part of a team

You can sail alone or with a crew. When you’re alone, it can lead to some profound, reflective moments, but when you’re with a crew it deepens the sense of camaraderie and trust between you. There’s also lots of opportunities to chat with people and develop good communication skills when sailing; you can be an instructor and mentor, a captain or a crew member.

The location is something the most people have trouble choosing. We are here to convince you that Croatia should be your number one choice.

The Adriatic coast of Croatia is also known as ‘The Coast of A Thousand Islands’ and it’s a favorite flotilla holiday destination. Croatia is often called the 'new Greece', the 'new Riviera' and the 'new Tuscany' and its pleasures are more timeless than trendsetting. The sun shines brilliantly on the crystalline Adriatic, which gently laps a 1778km coast and no fewer than 1185 islands. That’s a lot of coastline to explore, and there’s no better way to do this than to sail it.

If you choose sailing holidays in Croatia, you can visit several islands in a short time period and explore them during your journey. So, whether you are looking for the isolated beaches, great architecture, want to explore the Croatia’s culture or just have fun, you won’t be disappointed.

Moreover, with crystal clear sea and beautiful beaches, you’ll certainly spend the most beautiful moments in your life. With all these benefits, sailing in Croatia can truly provide an excellent experience and unforgettable moments.
