First time sailors - 10 reasons why 2021 is a great year to try sailing holiday

If you have been thinking about holidays for 2021, and have never been on sailing holidays before, here are only some reasons why you should try sailing holidays in Croatia.

1. Sailing holidays are better than any hotel holidays

Sailing yacht gives you full freedom to chose your location - if you don't like a bay or port, you can easily change it. Unlike being in the same hotel for 7 days, with a sailing yacht or catamaran you decide where you would like to go, how long you would like to stay or when it is time to pull out the anchor and change the port!

2. With a sailing yacht or catamaran there is no “sea view” as you are surrounded by the sea

There is nothing better than waking up surrounded by amazingly clear blue sea. Plus, you will never have a 'park view' instead of 'sea view' disappointment. You have direct connection with the sea. As a bonus you can jump in the sea anytime, directly from your cockpit. Can it get better than that?

3. Every evening there is a new place to go

Unlike staying full week in the same place, with a sailing yacht you have the possibility to dine in the finest waterfront located restaurants, and every evening you have another option. Or you can simply stay longer in the one port, if you find that special place that you would love to return next night.

4. Swimming, snorkelling, diving - all directly from your yacht

Swimming, snorkelling, diving - all whenever you like, directly from your yacht. No need to pack your diving gear, bag, coffee to go, water.. everything is with you - just grab your floating flamingo and jump in!

5. Sun-lounging - whenever you like

There is no fuss about catching that best spot on the beach! You have the best spot on your yacht. Need a half shade - no problem - you have bimmini tent on board.

6. Best location for SUP and kayaking

Do you like using stand up paddle board or kayak? No problem, drop it to the sea right from your boat and just jump in! As easy as that. Best locations for stand up paddling and kayaking guaranteed.

7. Going out - nightlife

How many times have you wanted to go out, but in the place where you have booked your hotel nothing was nearby? With a sailing yacht you can plan your route based on your daily interests. If you are interested in clubs and nightlife you can spend an evening at island Hvar or Split - good time is guaranteed.

8. Sailing is fun and teaches friends how to become a good team

Every team member needs to take their own role during sailing (some of the roles are lazy sun-lounging as well). Sailing is not only fun, but it teaches friends how to become a good team.

9. Local food on Croatian islands is simply amazing

There are many great restaurants to try during your sailing trip in Croatia. Each island has at least 3-4 great ones (bigger islands even more). Food in Croatia is amazing, from fresh fish to lamb with authentic organic vegetables. Not to mention great selection of local wines. Sailing trip is indeed the best way to try authentic food prepared from local ingredients.

10. Sailing holiday in Croatia gives you so many activity options

Hiking on Lastovo island, kayaking from Hvar to Palmižana, driving scooters on Vis island, driving quads on Mljet island, fine dining in the most exquisite restaurants, eating authentic local food in traditional taverns (konoba), wine tasting, souvenir shopping, having drinks with friends at a local coffee bar with the best view ever, just half meter from the sea, clubbing, snorkelling, diving, water sports, … there are numerous options and activities during your sailing holiday in Croatia.
