At Click&Boat,we wanted to bring you something really special – a detailed itinerary for a Croatia travel adventure on board your motorboat, catamaran or sailboat charter. Sail with us through the Adriatic Sea as we make several stops to experience the very best of Croatian cuisine, architecture, terrain and culture.

We will lay out a route from one end of the country to the other so that you don’t have to. All you need to do is go to Click&Boat, choose the boat that you want to rent for your holiday, pick your dates, and book!

We begin our journey in Zadar, but you don’t have to. If you’d like to do this route back to front, skip specific stops, or perhaps just do a couple of locations, it is definitely do-able! The coastline of Croatia is a sailing hotspot and, easy enough to navigate with a little experience. None of the stops are too far from each other and so even if you skip a stop you shouldn’t spend more than a few hours travelling.

1. Zadar

Our first stop in the Croatian region of Dalmatia is Zadar. Zadar is a harbour town in the northernmost part of the Dalmatia region. Until the end of the 18th century it was a fortified town with a large harbour and four magnificent gates. Our other 4 destinations are all east of here, which makes Zadar the logical starting point of a motorboat holiday of Croatia travel.

2. Split

Heading east down the Dalmatian coast to the region’s capital and the second-largest city in Croatia to Split. Split is a great stopover for sailing around the nearby idyllic islands. In fact, when sailing long distance, stopovers are crucial, and they are very rarely as magnificent as Split. You will find many great spots to stop off at along the coast of Split. There are several beautiful beaches, including the central beach of Bačvice.

3. Hvar

The journey from Split to Hvar can easily be done in less than 2 hours in a motorboat. Hvar is therefore a comfortable next spot without having to spend too much time travelling. If you want to spend most of your holiday in Split or not venture too far, then Hvar can just easily be a destination for a daily or overnight trip. Crystal blue sea, beautiful coves and beaches, vineyards, olive groves, and endless fields of lavender combined with historical and cultural sights make the island of Hvar the most beautiful island in the world.

4. Korčula

Sailing time from Hvar to Korčula is shorter than from Split to Hvar and should take you just over an hour. Korčula is the second island on our Croatia travel and is known for its dense forest and beautiful old towns. In fact, Korčula town is often referred to as ‘little Dubrovnik’ because of its medieval squares, churches, palaces and other buildings.

5. Dubrovnik

Our last destination, Dubrovnik, is perhaps the most famous. This city is one of the most popular tourist destinations of the Mediterranean Sea. Historically, the city was famous for its maritime trade. Now, it is a city visited for its baroque buildings, endless summers, marbled floors, ancient walls, and beautiful waters. Some people have described this city as “The pearl of the Adriatic”.

    Hi we’re a group of 8 couples within the same family – 16 adults total – we’re looking for our own boat with at least 8 cabins and a 3 night cruise any time in July/August. We don’t want to share the boat with anybody else.
    We need a skipper and crew to look after us.
    We can have breakfast on the boat and lunches/dinners on the land – or on the boat
    Please quote for how much this would cost amd what dates you have availability
