Come and discover the stunning islands off Croatia’s Dalmatian coast on a sailing holiday from Trogir, near Split.

The Dalmatian coast is perfect for sailing holidays. Explore the stunning Dalmatian islands south of Split such as Hvar, Brac, Korcula and Viz where you have such a choice of islands, anchorages, marinas and harbours to visit. To the north the Kornati National Park is an unspoilt nature reserve with over 100 islands.

On a yacht charter holiday you can find on all the islands and along the coast a wonderful variety of harbours, anchorages and small bays to drop anchor for a lunchtime swim. With reliable winds you can keep the sailing distances as short or as long as you like. The marinas in Croatia offer some of the best facilities in the Mediterranean but there are mooring charges for charter yachts.

Due to the popularity of this area for sailing holidays, yachts are available for charter from several marinas easily accessed from Split airport, including Trogir and Primosten.

    Trogir North 1 week sailing holiday itinerary

  • Sailing Journal

    Croatia - Trogir 2022

    Supplied by Kali, Nautilus Yachting

    Fresh from passing my day skipper, I spent quite a while umming and ahhing as to where I should take the family for our first solo sailing holiday. But when a brand new (2022) Oceanis 40.1 popped up in Trogir during the October half-term, for under £1000, it seemed almost obvious our decision was being made for us. Croatia is a country I have never been to before, and the opportunity to visit Europe's most popular sailing area seemed too good to be true. Also after speaking with a few friends, sailing from Split offered lots of possible itineraries, including lots of sheltered ports to run from the October weather. Perfect... Split it is!

    Day 1

    Saturday, Marina Baotic

    The flight to Split was noticeably shorter than my previous flights to Greece. The journey was a little under three hours, from stepping onto the plane at Heathrow to stepping onto the boat in the Marina. A swift start to the holiday. Our flight arrived late in the evening,  and thankfully rather than searching among the 500 or so yachts in the dark, the office had left a really helpful personalised note, as to exactly where our boat was moored and a number to contact just in case. 
    Once we had unpacked and were fed and watered,  we checked the weather for the week which seemed perfect.   Gentle and Moderate winds from the South East until Wednesday, before the winds reversed and Northerly Winds took over from Wednesday through to Friday.   Nigh on perfect weather for a gentle sail to Sibenik and back.
    Day 2

    Sunday, Trogir - Rogoznica    (17nm)

    In the daylight, we could see how big Marina Baotic was, a huge block with a restaurant, shops, and a small supermarket on site.  In addition, just a five-minute walk away there is a large supermarket with everything that you would need to provision for a week.   At around 9 am the base manager popped onto the yacht walked us around the boat and went over all the essentials.  Our yacht was just six weeks old and looked fantastic as everything was all new and fresh. Although I could certainly feel a little more of the pressure on my shoulders to bring the boat back unscathed after speaking to the base manager about their new 'baby'. 
    On then, to the moment of truth and with a brief pep talk to my crew and a small amount of nerves, we motored into open water.  As soon as we were safely into open water, we opened up the sails, and exactly as expected winds of 7-10 kts ushered us towards Rogoznica. 
     
    On arrival into Rogoznica, I prepped our crew for mooring, the pilot guide on board helped select our quayside mooring point but as we approached I could see the Harbour Master prepping a spot for us. A stern too mooring spot with lazy lines.  Reversing in I got  my first mate ready to throw the stern line, the Harbour Master was  ready to pass them a lazy line, and i was at the helm.  After a tiny bit of shouting and potentially a little more panic than was required we were safely moored for our first night.
    Day 3

    Monday, Rogozniza - Primosten (6nm)

    Rogoznica seemed to be one of those small towns where the number of boats outnumbers the number of houses.  Fresh water and electricity at the town quay meant we could stay clear of the dubious showers.  Numerous shops and bars lined the quayside and that meant we could have a lazy coffee and pastry ashore rather than cook breakfast. 
    Our chart showed Primosten as just a few miles away and the weather for today was exactly as expected. Our sail today turned out to great day to get some miles under our belt and test out a few gybes with the crew.   Fantastic winds ensued and we had winds of 10-12 knots throughout the morning, plus the chance to test out a few maneuvers with the crew.  Following lunch on the water and a few maneuvers, playtime was over.  We headed to Primosten nice and early, after hearing the marina was quite small.  Thankfully there was plenty of room on this smaller town quay. 
    Again under the eyes of a keen Harbour Master, we moored for the day and within 20 minutes were all safely secured. 
    Primosten offered lots to see and options to explore, following a brief visit to the beach and a strut through the old town. We decided that we have to stop here again on the way back to Trogir and give this town the time it deserved.
    Day 4

    Tuesday, Primosten - Sibenik (11nm)

    Sailing from Primosten to Sibenik, today was the day I was most looking forward to on the trip.  I have heard about the National Park and Waterfalls in Krka for a few years now I felt this would be one of the days key to my time in Croatia.  Keen to get going we left Primosten just after breakfast and 'sailed' to Sibenik.  The winds were super light today (less than 5kts) and the journey was quite a short one on the motor.  Arriving into Sibenik,  I was suprised at how big the city was, it has a lively waterfront, a  fuel station and to my crew's delight a Mcdonalds' within walking distance.   
    Once moored,  for such a large town it was strange to see this was our first town quay without full facilities however the ability to get to Krka National Park certainly made up for it.  We climbed into a local taxi and made our way to the National Park.
    Lots of different paths of varying lengths make their way through the park and we very happily spent the rest of the day trekking past what felt like a new waterfall around each corner.
    Day 5

    Wednesday,  Sibenik - Primosten (11nm)  

    Now officially on the return leg, we could relax a little more, as we were simply heading back 'Home'.  Our confidence on board was really high,  also aided by winds almost Ionian in nature and the ability to motor along on smooth glassy water.  All the scare stories of freezing 'Bura' winds of late October seemed a million miles away from 25 Degrees and less than two knots of wind we had on this return leg. 
    Pootling along, with almost no other boats on the water,  we could have stopped to look at St Nicholas 16th Century Citadel on the way out of Sibenik but we were keen to get to Primosten as soon as we could.
    Arriving at Primosten just after lunchtime we arrived at the same time as lots of Croatians that head to Primosten for a day out due to its great beach and relaxed feel.  This time around we were going to make the most of Primosten and had enough time to hit the beach and explore the winding streets of its walled city and hilltop church. 
    Primosten is certainly a stop worth adding to an itinerary. I would recommend it to anyone heading North from Split.
    Day 6

    Thursday Primosten - Trogir (20nm)  

    Due to time constraints, today was our final day sailing and our longest day on the water we needed to return to Trogir.  We headed out of Primosten on the motor. Then after an hour of motoring, the wind picked up and we had  a fantastic stretch of real sailing. Twelve to fifteen knots of wind pushed us along a sailing either a broad reach or running dead downwind.  The sailing was nice and stable and that kept the crew happy while cruising along at between 4-6 knots was enough to keep almost any sailor happy.  Compared to the non-existent winds of yesterday this was very much a welcomed change and by far the best sailing conditions for the week.  A little under five hours later we pulled into the fuel station in Trogir for a top-up and back into the Marina.
    Mercifully the easy berth that we left five days ago was available for us to slip right back into.  I would never forgive myself if we had five days issue free and then caused a scrape in the final 100 meters. Needless to say, I should have had more faith in my crew as by now we were a well-oiled machine and piloted the boat, back into its spot with minimal stress. 
     
    Overall a fantastic break on the water,  and the fears of Croatia being a very expensive, cold October destination were completely dashed.  I have to admit we were really lucky with the amazing weather for the entire week but for the price, availability of  yachts, and lack of other boats on the water I would happily recommend it!

Sailing Qualifications

To skipper a bareboat charter or flotilla yacht, you need to hold a practical sailing certificate equivalent to RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification or RYA International Certificate of Competence (ICC). For charters in Greece, you must now have the ICC certificate. You must also be assisted by at least one competent crew member over the age of 18.

The port authorities in Greece are now insisting on one of the following practical certificates: RYA ICC (International Certificate of Competence), RYA Coastal, RYA Yachtmaster, ASA IPC (International Proficiency Certificate) or the IYT (International Yacht Training) Passport. If you hold an RYA Day Skipper or ASA104 it will no longer be accepted and you need to obtain either an ICC or IPC from the corresponding issuing body (RYA or ASA). If your RYA Coastal/Yachtmaster or ASA105/106 certificate is more than 12 years old and does not have a photo ID, then we would also strongly advise applying for an ICC or IPC. If you are a member of the RYA or ASA, you may qualify for a discount or free certificate, otherwise, you will have to pay. The approximate cost is £50. Please use this link - RYA application for the ICC or ASA application for the IPC.

For charters in Croatia, Malta and the Canaries, at least one member of the crew or the skipper will also need a VHF licence.

RYA qualifications can be obtained by RYA sailing schools in the UK or alternatively choose from one of our overseas centres in Gibraltar, Greece or Turkey.

For Seychelles, the local authorities require an ICC for the skipper of a bareboat or flotilla yacht charter.

For Caribbean and Tropical charters, formal qualifications are not compulsory, however, you should be Day Skipper standard and be assisted by at least one competent crew. A brief sailing resume should be provided to outline your experience.

If you don't hold the relevant qualifications then why not add a skipper?

Sailing Levels

Level 1

Winds force 2-3 (4-11 Knots)combined with generally shorter distances. Good for beginner or intermediate sailors. Line-of-sight navigation but basic knowledge of charts and ability to plot your position required.
