Adventurous souls from all over the world can now experience the style and sophistication of exploring the Mediterranean on a luxury sailing yacht on Yacht Getaways’ Croatia Explorer route. Each of their yachts accommodates eight guests, giving them the opportunity to experience the intimate and unique setting of a yacht holiday, travelling with like-minded guests on an expertly crafted route. These lucky people will walk away with new friends, unforgettable memories and a first-hand experience of sailing the beautiful Mediterranean.

Included on the Croatia Explorer route are seven nights and eight days on-board your own yacht, breakfast and lunch freshly prepared by the Skipper daily, a Yacht Host on-board for added comfort, welcome drinks and canapés and every yacht has stand-up paddleboards on board. Guests can learn to sail with their RYA Yacht Master Skipper, and yachts moor in secluded coves inaccessible to motorised boats. All Port Fees, fuel costs, linen and end-of-week cleaning are included

Highlights include dolphin spotting off postcard-pretty Scedro Island, the vibrant nightlife and majestic Spanish Fort of Hvar, feasting on fresh seafood in picturesque harbour, Konobas, Unesco Listed Stari Grad, home to some excellent local vineyards and Korcula Town’s unique architecture and history.

The central and southern Dalmatian islands of the Adriatic have long been a highlight on any Croatian yacht charter, and offer the perfect balance of secluded bays where you can anchor in a tranquil, idyllic setting, while also enjoying the busier islands such as Vis, Hvar and Korcula, steeped in history, culture and nightlife. With over 1000 islands to explore Croatia is ideal even for novices and is ideal for a first yacht trip.

Yacht Getaways’ yachts have been specially selected to offer guests a stylish and spacious home away from home, with all the comforts to be expected during your sailing holiday and more.

Days at sea include daily swim stops in the azure Adriatic Sea, and long, lazy hours admiring the best of Croatian architecture in Korcula. Guests will be treated to a taste of Hvar’s vibrant nightlife which has become Europe’s top party destination and they will also be able to explore the pine forests and famous salted lakes of Mljet National Park.
