About the route

Starting point: Zadar

Arrival: We can arrange a transfer from the airport to the marina for you. The transfer is not included in the price.

About: The Adriatic Sea is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea and very calm compared to other Mediterranean seas. The great thing about sailing holidays in Croatia is its climate. Especially the coast. It has mild and wet winters and very hot and dry summers. The sea temperature is very high during the summer. They vary from 22 to as much as 28 degrees Celsius. Croatian coast is very rugged, very indented, with hundreds of small islands, bays, coves, and all kinds of defilades.

This route is located in central Dalmatia. One of the most visited places in the area is the city of Zadar. Zadar isn’t just a tourist city, it consists of the old and new part. The old part of town is on a peninsula connected to the new part with a stone bridge.

Don’t miss the opportunity to catch one of the „most beautiful sunsets in the world”
