Split Sailing Itinerary
Sail to the North Dalmatian Coast
There are over a thousand islands in Croatia, the exact number is varying by definitions. Dalmatia is a narrow belt of the east shore of the Adriatic Sea. The number of the main Dalmatian islands is 79 and there are about 500 islets. Northern Croatian islands are the most numerous and most developed islands of the Dalmatian coast. The mainland of those islands is full of olive trees, fig trees, vineyards and vast areas of green. Lots of waterfalls, hidden caves, lakes, stone buildings, castles and huge walls with extremely beauty are parts of those islands.
The best way to explore the area and visit all these beautiful places is ofย course by sailing. We have prepared a great Split Sailing Itinerary to the North Dalmatian Coast, which is mainly focused on exploring these amazing islands on board your private yacht, and visit the most remarkable of them.

(Prices start from approximately 20 EUR for 2 pax, per way).

Weather
ฮคhe Split Sailing Itinerary to the South Dalmatian Islandsย is an ideal sailingย destination from May until September. The weather isย very warm and sunny and the average temperature is 28ยฐ C- typical Mediterranean climate. Despite the warm and sunny weather during that period, if you don’t like the overcrowded places, we generally recommend that you avoid visiting the Dalmatian Islands in late July and early Augustย when most of the tourists visit the area. October brings cloudier skies and the promise of some rain, still, it’s generally preferred by many sailors as an alternative period for their summer holidays. The average temperature drops down to 17ยฐ C.ย

Mooring
In Croatia, there are many different marinas, where you can safely anchor. Thereโs a new application launched, called โmySeaโ (https://www.my-sea.com/en/login), which will be your โbest buddyโ for our Split Sailing Itinerary. With just a little search, you can find a safe and secure harbour or marina to moor and start your activities ashore. Also, you have the ability to reserve your berth in advance, so that you avoid waiting there. The mooring fees in Croatia can be very expensive sometimes, so we definitely suggest looking at the price lists before you pick a place to moor.

The whole island is surrounded by olive gardens, fig trees, and vegetable plantations. Iลพ is well known for its long fishing tradition. What’s remarkable about Veli Iลพ is the pottery art that bloomed and was developed by the citizens of the village.
Another separated island is the Ugljan. Half of the island is covered with olive trees, fig trees, vineyards, dense bush, pine trees and other Mediterranean plantation, so it is called green part. The other half is stony and desolated. The island is connected with the fishing activity either.
End the day of your Split Sailing Itinerary in Zadar, also known as the southern Dubrovnik. Beautiful beaches, colourful sunrisings, history and always full of people.ย Zadar is home to around 70,000 people and itโs a joy to explore. In Zadar, you will experience something completely different.ย Its construction has taken place in the harbour area. Some stone steps immersed in the water.ย These have underwater pipes in them that sound musical notes when filled with water. This construction creates a harmonica effect that sounds as if each wave is gently sighing. This is called “The Sea Organ” and “Greeting to the Sun”.
