Croatia Yacht Charters

Sailing a Yacht in Croatia

An Agana cruising vacation is a voyage into some of the prettiest offshore channels in the Mediterranean region, a sojourn to remember on the Adriatic Sea. 

While an occasional uncomfortable north-easterly wind called Bura is possible, the tidal range is insignificant, about two feet at the maximum which makes Croatia the perfect yacht destination for captains with basic coastal navigation skills! It is worth noting that specific certification is required to charter a yacht in the Mediterranean, including Croatia.

Why charter a yacht in Croatia?

An Agana yacht charter features a wonderful blend of the historic and the natural, with ancient cities and towns situated in beautiful harbors fronting islands with pebble beaches and lush vegetation. Serene anchorages far from the crowds or bustling towns with boutiques, restaurants, and bars are all attractions of the central Dalmatian Coast, where wildlife abounds, the snorkeling is excellent, and history is ever present. 

Whether you want to explore the Roman ruins in Solin, spend your afternoon tasting exquisite black risotto in Split or feel the exhilaration of rafting on the Cetina River, there is something for everyone in Croatia which is why an Agana yacht charter is ideal for families, couples and larger parties!

Explore the History of the Dalmatian Islands

With a history spanning over 2,000 years, the Dalmatian Islands are a historian’s paradise! From the Ancient Greeks to the Byzantines, Croatia’s vibrant culture and way of living have been influenced by a multitude of people throughout history.

Croatia has several world-famous historical cities, such as Dubrovnik and Stari Grad, which is home to a plethora of Roman ruins and archaeological sites. Throughout the incredible Dalmatian Islands, you’ll find glimpses of history wherever you turn. Some of Croatia’s most amazing historical sites to visit include:

• The walls of Dubrovnik
• Zadar’s Roman Forum
• Pula Amphitheater
• St James’ Cathedral in Sibenik
• Salona is a must-visit if you’re a history lover as there are so many treasures to explore, including a 4th century basilica

Croatia is also entrenched in folklore and Slavic, Greek and Roman mythology. Many Croatians throughout history believed that Gods and Goddesses protected them and influenced everyday life, and therefore worshiped them. From Perun, God of Thunder and Veles, God of the Underworld in Slavic folklore to Odysseus in Greek mythology who spent 7 years on Mljet with Calypso, Croatia and mythology are deeply intertwined.

Want to see for yourself the profound impact mythology has had on the incredible Croatian islands? Moor up in Split and explore Jupiter’s temple, travel to Mljet and discover Odysseus Cave or sail across to Croatia’s northernmost peninsula to Istria and visit Kringa, home of the first European vampire.
