What people love about Sailing Tours in Croatian Islands
- Sailing Croatia - Dubrovnik to Split
Great scenery, lovely small group and friendly and helpful skippers. Wonderful holiday with one special moment after another.
- Croatia Sailing Adventure: Dubrovnik to Split
The guide/skipper was great. Informative about where we were going and the plans for each day. All dinner restaurants he took us to, were amazing!! The group was much older than I expected, wanted to travel and meet younger travellers. Price was worth the value of the trip.
I had a truly amazing time during the Pride Sailing Holiday. Being on such a small boat, I was aware that the whole experience would partially be dependent on the other guests and I must say I was very lucky to have great companions. But the crews, Stefan and Oana, were the absolute stars of the trip and assets to the company. Stefan the skipper was very professional and serious at his tasks but at the same time he surely knows how to have fun! He brought everyone together and everybody loved him. Oana, the host is such an amazing cook. All her food literally made the difference on the daily living in the boat - that sometimes could feel like camping - the meals really elevated the whole experience. She also shared great recommendations for dinner places at every stop. It was an unforgettable experience!

Each major port along Croatia's coast offers distinct experiences.
