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
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.

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.
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.
