A Brief Introduction To Croatia
With dazzling waters, medieval towns, and over 1,400 islands to explore, Croatia continues to entice sailors and yachting enthusiasts year after year with its 350km of unspoiled coastline. Marking a symbolic gateway where East meets West, Croatia's ancient history dating back to the Middle Ages enthralls charteres and complements the beautiful Adriatic Sea full of undiscovered coves and islands.
To charter a yacht in Croatia is to experience the Mediterranean as it once was. For centuries, Croatia was passed between the Illyrian, Roman, Christian, Venetian, and Austrian empires, each leaving behind their own cultural impression and creating a unique blend. While Croatia is growing in popularity as a tourist destination, it still remains as one of Europe's best-preserved destinations, especially when seen from a charter yacht.
From lively towns such as Hvar and Dubrovnik to small islands filled with quaint streets such as Mljet and Trogir, there truly is something to suit everyone during their holiday in Croatia.
