Small Ship Croatia Cruise Deals
sponsored post
There are few small-ship cruising destinations as appealing as Croatia!
Croatia’s long lovely coast is a sinewy ribbon of rocky bluffs, romantic beaches, and the vestiges of Roman and medieval cities.
And the coastal waters are dotted with hundreds of remote islands, creating the perfect setting for weeklong yachting adventures exploring the secluded bays and quaint towns that larger cruise ships simply can’t access.
Experts in small-ship Croatia cruising
Our friends at Sail Croatia are a family-owned company who have been cruising Croatia for nearly two decades on vessels carrying no more than 40 guests.
They know what they’re doing!
And that’s why Sail Croatia’s small ship Croatia cruise deals are so attractive.
Like your own private ship
Intimate and friendly, you can dive right off the back of the ship into the sea when anchored for some fun and in the sun.
And when it’s time to go ashore, the Sail Croatia vessels are small enough to dock right in the ports and towns they visit, meaning no tender boats back and forth. You simply walk off the ship and on to terra firma to enjoy your day.
Soaking up the local vibe
Sail Croatia’s fleet of yachts, catamarans and sailing ships are locally-owned and operated by Croatian families.
Further, all of Sail Croatia’s tour managers and activity guides are locals, creating an authentic and relaxed atmosphere for couples, groups of friends, families and solo travellers.

Four different 7-night Croatia Cycle Cruises itineraries are designed to offer travelers the best of Croatia on the water and on two wheels.
On average, daily guided bicycle rides are 20 to 30km, and are offered either in the morning or the evening, so there’s still time to swim, explore town and dine on shore.
Cyclists have the option to rent a hybrid bike or an assisted electric bike (both include helmets), or you can bring your own.

Haven’t heard of this company,, they seem great , thajnks for sharing !
Hello !
I am interested to explore Croatia on a small ship cruise in 2023. What is the best time to go – and whats the price for one week ?
Hi Morten, here’s a good overview of Croatia cruise charters, highlighting the offerings of 4 reputable companies, including Sail Croatia. The best time for Croatia cruises is June and Sept/October; July & Aug are nice, but can be quite hot and very crowded. I’d avoid August for sure. https://quirkycruise.com/croatia-yacht-cruise-charters/
Were you thinking to do a charter? Or just one cabin?
