Why sailing on the Adriatic?

An annual research on water quality showed that this year the Adriatic has lost only a few positions and is now the 5th on the list. In Croatia you can drink tap water with no fear and bathing in the clean sea is an incomparable experience.

The water area of the Adriatic sea is 33 200 sq. km. and the total area of Croatia is 56 542 sq. km. Thus, more than 60% of the country is covered with water. So it's no surprise that new yacht routes and programmes for leisure on the sea appear every year.

Thanks to a mild and comfortable climate, Croatia is perfect for studying sailing and getting your first yacht driving license. Besides windsurfing, SUP-surfing, kayaking, diving, fishing and snorkelling are very popular here.

One more special thing about Croatia is the highest concentration of monofleets (one design sailboats) for organising sailing regattas in Europe. From March to October, competitions for children and adults with different level of preparation are regularly held in different regions of the country.

In Croatia there are eight national parks and eleven nature parks with the total area of 994 sq. km. We will tell you about six of them which can be included in your yacht route.
