Sailing in Croatia

Croatia offers the ultimate Mediterranean sailing classroom with 1,200+ islands, challenging Bora and Maestral winds, and medieval harbors perfect for mastering the med-moor. The Dalmatian Coast combines world-class ASA instruction with unforgettable cultural experiences.

Our Croatia weeks run from late May to early October. July through September brings the steadiest Maestral afternoon breezes of 10-15 knots, warm temperatures, and crystal-clear Adriatic waters; May, June and early October are quieter in the harbours with slightly cooler evenings.

No prior certification needed! Complete beginners start with ASA 101 and 102, while experienced sailors progress to ASA 103 and 104 — typically two levels per week. You'll earn certifications through daily hands-on learning with practical and theory exams.

No prior experience needed! Many of our most passionate sailors started as complete beginners. Our expert instructors love teaching newbies and will build your confidence from day one.

Quick-drying clothes, one warm layer, a soft duffel bag, and solid sun protection. Pack light — you'll need less than you think!

We'll show you local markets and teach you the art of boat provisioning. Expect fresh Mediterranean flavors daily, plus traditional peka dinners at local konobas in harbor towns.

Yes — think of it as a learn to sail vacation in Croatia rather than a classroom at sea. You earn ASA certifications through daily hands-on instruction, but you also swim in secluded bays, explore islands like Vis and Hvar, and share traditional peka dinners in harbor konobas. Instruction, accommodation aboard the yacht, and certification exams are all included.

Fly into Split Airport (SPU). You can either take an early flight on the day of the course or arrive the night before to rest. The course ends on Saturday morning — book flights for Saturday afternoon or Sunday.
