With a large number of islands, incredible natural beauty and excellent weather conditions, Croatia has become one of the most popular destinations for holidays in Europe. Besides natural beauty, there are many activities you can enjoy and many facilities which can make your vacation unforgettable. One of the most popular activities in Croatia is definitely sailing. But it is important to note that the season of sailing in Croatia is not exclusively related to the summer months. The season lasts from March to October. Whichever month you choose, you will not make a mistake because each one has its own charm. Inspired by our first guests, we decided to write just about sailing during spring, and besides, it is still not too late to join us. When talking about spring sailing in Croatia, we think of April, May and June period. If you want to know more about how you can use this magical time of the year and what to expect from sailing in the spring months, continue reading.

Sunny spring days

As we already mentioned, in March, weather conditions allow the start of the sailing season. The average air temperature in April and May is 20°C and the sea temperature is 18°C. Temperature does not rise too fast, so there is a high possibility that during spring you will experience real summer days. The wind is a bit stronger than in the summer months, which is ideal for real sailors. The most common spring wind which you can find in your sails is Bura, and you can learn more about it in our blog. When we talk about sea activities, the bravest ones will swim in April, but those less brave should wait until the end of May. After the spring break, you can surely catch up with your tan. If you are an experienced diver or a passionate fisherman, at this time, the sea is so clear that it is worth to wear a swimming suit and look underwater or throw the hook and wait for your first year's catch. At this time of year, the sea world is vibrant.

Spring is the most ideal time for sailing!

What is an excellent advantage of spring sailing, is the large number of holidays in the spring. The exact number of holidays depends on the country you are coming from, but more or less all European countries have school, state, or religious holidays which they can use for travelling. Spring holidays are ideal for those who have a few free days so that they can combine their state/religious holidays and their free days and use the spring break to charge their batteries. If you are unable to spend 7 days off, which is typical for charter in Croatia, it is possible to rent a boat for a shorter period before the summer season.

Most of the tourists who come to Croatia experience it as a summer location and ignore it during spring break, which is why there are less traffic and smaller crowds during spring. If you are a type of person who enjoys sailing and meeting new destinations, spring is the most ideal time for your vacation. You can experience the Croatian culture differently during this period, without waiting in lines for museums, churches and restaurants, and without paying so much money. Besides fewer crowds in the cities, the marinas are less crowded too. That means you can sail anywhere, swim in every cove and visit every port and marina without it being crowded. If you are on a romantic holiday, you will find a private cove easily. Also you will easily find a restaurant with excellent Mediterranean food and enjoy a special night. Also, across the whole Adriatic coast, there are various cultural and Easter manifestations which you can join to get to know Croatia even more.

Yacht Charter in Spring

Another great advantage of spring sailing is low cost. If you travel to Croatia by plane, you can get the return ticket at a very affordable price since the low-fare airline has been operating since March. Moreover, charter prices for a week are on average 30 percent lower than during the summer. So you can choose the boat which suits you and your crew best at a great price. Besides that, there is a fairly large selection of boats. Another important thing, marina prices are still not as high as during the season, so your sailing will not be too expensive. If you want to go out for dinner, we have to note that most restaurants also have lower prices during the pre-season, but not all restaurants are open, so check out the restaurants on your sailing route. With a good roadmap, there will be no problems, and if you need more information, our team is at your disposal.

Spring in Croatia is really lovely! With a slight breeze, the spring sun will give you warmth, without „roasting“ as in July and August. With a tiny budget, you can hire a top-notch boat where you will perfect your sailing skills without the crowds at sea. And no matter what season it is, you can enjoy sea activities – diving, fishing, and if you are lucky, even swimming. Spring is the most ideal time to greet new destinations. Sail in one of the many marinas and explore the Croatian cities and islands without crowds and at affordable prices.
