How does a bareboat charter in Croatia work?
Are you thinking of a bareboat charter in Croatia? Then you’re in just the right place! We will walk you through the process of choosing a boat and making a booking – everything from what happens when you arrive for check-in, the trip itself, all the way up to your journey home.
When is the best time to go sailing in Croatia?
Sailing season in Croatia stretches from May to October. Choose a bareboat charter with More Sailing in the archipelago beyond Split and discover an island realm rich in variety, with beautiful sheltered coves and ports.
May–June is perfect for those who prefer quieter harbours, comfortably warm weather (around 22–28°C) and lower prices. The sea is almost ready for swimming in. July–August is the high season with hot weather (30°C+), lots of boats and harbours and villages at their liveliest. September–October still offer warm breezes and water, but fewer tourists. An ideal period for those who prefer more space, and often lower prices too.
