What people love about Sailing Tours in Adriatic
- Croatia Sailing Adventure: Dubrovnik to Split
Really enjoyed the sailing! It is a beautiful sea! My only wish is that we took more time sailing. We used the motor too much. Bruno is an excellent skipper and host.
- Croatia: Sail & Swim 2026
Had such an amazing time on Moja Maja with our incredible host, Gemma and the crew! I loved being able to have so many stops, but not having to pack and unpack every day. Made the trip feel very relaxed and gave us more time for activities. Gemma was lots of fun and really knowledgeable of everywhere we went. She also always provided with lots of ideas on how to spend our time when in port.
Such a fun trip! By far one of the best weeks of my life. The whole week we visited some beautiful places I never would have seen travelling by myself and the boat/crew were so much fun and knowledgeable. Topped off by a great tour leader and even better nights out I would 100% recommend anyone do this trip

What our customers ask about Sailing Tours & Trips in Adriatic
What is the best time of year to sail in the Adriatic Sea?
The Adriatic Sea's sailing season peaks from May through September with July and August drawing the largest crowds. Experienced sailors prefer June and September in Dubrovnik and Split for moderate temperatures and quieter waters. Booking data shows September as the most popular month among tourists. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The weather was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our time sailing along the Dalmatian coast with plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters."
What are the typical routes and destinations covered on Adriatic sailing tours?
Adriatic sailing tours connect major ports like Split and Dubrovnik while stopping at islands such as Hvar Korčula Mljet and Vis. Most boats anchor at the Pakleni Islands and Golden Horn beach on Brač island. Tours often include visits to historic Trogir's UNESCO sites the Blue Cave on Biševo island and Krka National Park. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "Because the boat was small we could put in for our daily swim in hidden coves that the big cruise ships can't go near making it a truly unique experience."
What type of accommodation can I expect on an Adriatic sailing tour?
Standard accommodations on Adriatic vessels include private cabins with attached bathrooms. Deluxe ships like MS Morena provide air-conditioned rooms ranging from 12-17m² with double or twin bed options and storage space. Many tours use the Hotel Corner in Split as their starting point. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The cabins were very comfortable and well-appointed providing a great place to relax after long days of exploring."
What are the best swimming spots along the Adriatic coast?
The Adriatic coast offers excellent swimming at Golden Horn beach on Brač Island the Blue Lagoon near Trogir and throughout the Pakleni Islands. Hidden coves around Vis Island and Mljet National Park's waters draw swimmers seeking quiet spots. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The swim stops were incredible - crystal clear waters in secluded bays that were only accessible by boat."
What additional costs should I budget for during an Adriatic sailing tour?
Beyond the tour price travelers should plan for port taxes (40 EUR per person) entrance fees to sites like Mljet National Park (25 EUR) and the Blue Cave evening meals and optional excursions. Many tours suggest a 50 EUR shared expense fund. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Having euros on hand for port fees and attraction entries is essential though most restaurants accept cards."
