Croatia

Dalmatian islands, yacht days and Hvar nights

Yacht weeks·Families·Couples
The brief

Croatia, by boat — Dalmatian coves, Hvar lavender and a final night in Dubrovnik.

The Adriatic at its most theatrical. We book Croatia as a yacht week (Split to Dubrovnik) bookended by a city night, with side trips to Hvar, Vis and Korčula. Istria, in the north, holds the truffle hills and the most interesting tables.

It rewards charter sailors, families with teenagers, and anyone who wants Italy's sea with thinner crowds.
