Croatia Mid Dalmatia flotillas

The Mid Dalmatia flotillas sail Croatia’s most popular cruising area. As you sail between islands there are two national parks to visit. The area also includes the historic towns of Split, Trogir and Primosten.

Statival: Tranquil waters in the anchorage of the sparcely populated bay
Split: Seafront with the Roman Diocletian’s Palace and the Cathedral tower
Primosten: Yachts anchored outside the walled village on the “island”
Skradin: The waterfalls in the Krka National Park
Sibenik: The quay with the dome of the cathedral visible behind
Veli Iz: Entrance to the bay with the town set amongst the trees

The Dalmatia flotillas offer sailing itineraries of great variety. Heading north, you have the beautiful Kornati and Krka National Parks.

To the south, islands including Hvar, Vis, Solta and Brac offer stops from sleepy fishing villages to buzzing holiday towns. As well as historic architecture, there are beaches aplenty.

The two week Dalmatia flotillas visit the areas both north and south of Split and Trogir. If you can only spare a week, you’ll need to pick between the two areas. But be warned: You’ll want to come back and do the other half next year. Then you’ll want a further two weeks because the routes visit different places! Small wonder that this is one of the top selling flotilla areas.

FLOTILLA PRICES from SIBENIK

It is a one week route sailing from Sibenik. The stops are a mix of charming villages and small towns. This is a flotilla that will spare you the well equipped but sometimes rather characterless marinas that have become a feature of sailing in Croatia. Avoiding the marinas as much as possible also helps keep the cost down.

There is however a chance to visit the larger historic towns of Split, Trogir or Hvar on the free sailing day. All these are full of impressive ancient buildings, though the first two will require a marina stop and the third can be a challenge to get in to as it is a popular spot.

The route takes you as far as the isle of Brac, via the islands of Zirje, Solta and Zlarin. The stops are generally quiet relaxing places. This is not a flotilla that want to party hard in to the night.

FLOTILLA PRICES from TROGIR

The route takes in some ancient settlements, with Vis dating back to 3000BC. Many buildings remain from the period of occupation by the Venetians. This gives the area something of an Italian feel.

You can visit popular tourist towns such as Hvar, best visited by water taxi from the Pakleni Islands. But although you will find tourists everywhere, places like Starigrad have a charmingly laid back air

The flotilla has an associated RYA sailing school. So you can take a qualification whilst enjoying the flotilla. The school also provides a way for single sailors to join in, even if you don’t want to take a course.

The more prosperous town of Vis languishes on the north eastern coast facing the its upmarket rival Hvar, while the hardworking fishing town of Komiza occupies the western end of the island.

More about the Hvar Flotilla

Split is well served by direct flights from the UK. These are mainly with the low cost carriers though Croatia Air offer flights from Heathrow (generally expensive).

The flotilla offers a modern fleet of yachts from 3 to 5 cabins from 35 feet upwards.

The associated RYA Sailing School offers Day Skipper, ICC and Competent Crew courses. You can either take an instructor on board your flotilla yacht, or take a berth on a Tuition Yacht.

FLOTILLA PRICES from SIBENIK

This one week route sails from Sibenik. The route takes in some small towns, interspersed with villages of just a few hundred inhabitants.

So it is a little livlier than the Brac route which runs on the alternate weeks. But there is still a focus on harbours and anchorages in preference to marinas where this is possible. This helps keep the mooring fees down.

The route includes Murter, often considered the “capital” of the Kornati National Park. There is a chance to further explore the Park on your free sailing day when options include Luka Zut, Piskera and Smokvica.

Another highlight of the week is Tribunj. The town here was originally built on an island, now joined to the mainland by a narrow stone bridge. Other stops include Kaprije and Zirje, both small sparsely populated islands. Though the facilities at these stops are not as extensive as elsewhere, that is part of the charm. They are great places to relax and chill out.

The Krka falls are just a short way from Skradin and offer a refreshing swim. The first waterfall you see is spectacular. However, this is just the start of a large National Park offering some beautiful walks and many more waterfalls.

En route, the flotilla stops at the delightful village of Rogoznica. The village is set in an excellent natural harbour. It also visits the historic “island village” of Primosten, connected the mainland by a causeway.

And if you have limited time to explore Split itself don’t worry. Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is at least as fascinating with its renaissance and romanesque architecture.

The flotilla operator also offers RYA training either on your own flotilla yacht or on dedicated tuition yachts. So you can take a qualification whilst enjoying the flotilla. A course is not compulsory so its also enables single sailors to join the flotilla.

The more prosperous town of Vis languishes on the north eastern coast facing the its upmarket rival Hvar, while the hardworking fishing town of Komiza occupies the western end of the island.

12: Wed	22	Stari Grad (Hvar) Stari Grad on the island of Hvar is a harbour with a mission. Stari Grad literally means “Old Town” and Stari Grad is one of the oldest in Europe. Actually, calling it a town is perhaps stretching it – take away the tourists and the population is only a couple of thousand. In 2016 the ... Read more
13: Thu	20	Free sailing. Why not try: Sumartin (Brac) This small sleepy fishing village is a pleasant contrast to some of the more touristy places in Dalmatia. It’s a popular retreat for Croatians with second homes who appreciate the calm. There’s not much here which is really the main attraction. There are a couple of pebbled beaches within about 20 minutes walk of the centre, ...

More about the Mid Dalmatia flotillas

The Mid Dalmatia flotillas require only moderate experience. They are not ideal for novice skippers and crews. This is particularly true in high season when winds are a little stronger. But they are well within the capabilities of those with previous flotilla experience. Winds are typically force 2-4, sometimes 5 in the afternoons when there can be Katabatic gusts off the hillsides.

Dalmatia flotillas: scenery, history, sunshinse and sailing

You must hold a recognised skippers certificate to sail yourself. There is a Government issued list which includes the RYA Day Skipper and ICC. Someone on board will also need a VHF certificate.

These rules apply to all Dalmatia flotillas. In fact they apply to all yacht charters and flotillas in Croatia, not matter how experienced you are.

If you lack these qualifications, you can hire a skipper or take a course (see Learn to sail below).

The Dalmatia flotillas start from Trogir and from Split. Both bases are best reached via Split airport.

Transfers times for Trogir are about 10-15 minutes. For Split it’s about 25 minutes. Split is served by direct flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle.

All these Dalmatia flotillas are available as a package with flights or flotilla only. Booking flotilla only and buying your own flights works out cheaper. The operators offer optional airport transfers for those buying their own flights.

Learn to sail on Mid Dalmatia Flotillas

On the Dalmatia flotillas from Split, there’s the option of taking sailing courses. The operator’s RYA accredited sailing school offers Competent Crew, ICC and Day Skipper courses. Personalised tuition is also available. You can either join the school’s Tuition Yacht, booked by the berth/cabin, or you can have a yacht and instructor to yourselves.
