Where to sail in Split?

There is a wide range of things to see and do with your Split yacht charter. Below, you can find popular destinations to sail to from Split, Croatia:

Brač 

The largest island in Dalmatian Coast and the third-largest in the entire Adriatic Sea. It is well known for its limestones and its delicious locally-produced olive oils and wines. Brač island is also home to the idyllic Zlatni Rat beach, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia. The beach can get busy during the summer period, but thanks to your boat hire, you can enjoy soaking up the sun while being onboard. 

Vis

For many years, this island was completely untouched by tourists. It may only be 18 nautical miles further down the coast, but this island's strategic location meant that it was used for a long time as a military base. Vis is home to pristine beaches, hidden coves, lush forests and many historic villages with an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere.

Korcula 

With stunning natural landscapes, scenic villages and sandy beaches, the island of Korcula is a must with your yacht charter. The island capital is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean, and is supposedly the place where the famous explorer Marco Polo was born. It's important to note that Korcula doesn't have a very developed infrastructure compared to its neighbouring islands. To access this island and take advantage of its coves, it is  recommended to charter a small yacht from Split, Croatia.

Hvar 

Another must for your Croatian boat hire. The journey between Korcula and Hvar is considered to be one of the most beautiful sailing routes in the entire Adriatic Sea. Hvar is known for its wine and lavender fields, and more recently for its electric nightlife. It's less crowded than other party islands like Ibiza or Mykonos, but it still offers a wide range of places to fit everyone's taste. Two of the most famous bars are Carpe Diem and Hula Hula.
