Base: SplitDifficulty: IntermediateAirport: Split
Flights from: Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast
Qualifications:to sail yourself: minimum RYA Day Skipper Practical or ICC plus one person with VHF certificate.
Other options: Skippers available or combine your flotilla with an RYA sailing course.

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.

1: Sat0Check in.
  • Split The historical city of Split is Croatia’s second largest city, though with less than 200,000 inhabitants it’s pocket sized. The port is a hub for ferry services to outlying islands and Italy and the city is the cultural centre for the region, so there’s plenty to see and do. The Diocletians Palace at the centre of ...

  • Trogir Trogir is not to be missed. A beautiful medieval town crammed with renaissance and Romanesque architecture, Trogir, oozes with an understated sophistication that will charm even the most jaded cynic. Moor your boat among the many other yachts than stop here and enjoy a night of revelry in surroundings of relaxed elegance. A World Heritage Site ... Read more

  • Primosten A small holiday town centred on an island now connected to the mainland by a causeway. The walls that once surrounded the old town have long gone, bar the gate through which one enters the main square. The square provides an excellent place for various events through the summer but is a bit over restored for ... Read more

  • Skradin / Krka River / Krk National Park It’s worth a visit to Skradin just to sail up the river, but once there, a trip in to the Krk National Park is a must. After mooring your yacht, a short ferry boat ride takes you to the park entrance from where you can walk up to the first of 7 waterfalls which total ... Read more

  • Rogoznica Rogoznica is a charming and well protected harbour, marina and anchorage on what can be a very windy stretch of coastline. With its delightful old “island” village there is more to this town than first meets the eye. Pick up a buoy; drop the hook, back onto the quay or choose a marina berth, Rogoznica ... Read more
6: Thu15Free sailing. Why not try:
  • Maslinica (Solta) This little fishing village is a lovely spot and you can still get fish fresh off the boat. The inlet at Maslinica looks out over the little archipelago at it’s mouth and the hills are dotted with pines and olive groves. Other than fellow yacht charter crews, there are few tourists as Maslinica has no ferry service. ... Read more

  • Drvenik Veliki / Luka Drvenik (Drvenik Veli) Drvenik Veliki is a great place to relax, at one with nature on this rugged island. It’s the only town on the island but the population is less than 200. The island’s economy depends on fishing, olives and, you guessed it, tourism. But this is no swinging holiday resort. Take a stroll though the olive groves ... Read more
