157. Istria: sailing Pula, Rovinj and Poreč
We sailed further and further to the north of Croatia, because after Zadar, we passed the islands of Pag and Cres and crossed over to Istria. This is the northernmost province of Croatia and also the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Istria is shared as a peninsula by 3 countries: Croatia has the largest […]
156. Zadar
Nice long sailing days, good wind and lots of sun, so off to our next destination, Zadar! On the way, we pass this ‘harbor’ which is actually more of a jetty and where a friendly American John is the harbor master. John’s family is originally Croatian, but his grandfather emigrated to the USA in the […]
155. Kornati National Park
Our next stop in Croatia would be a special archipelago in the Adriatic Sea: the Kornati National Park. We sailed from the coast of Croatia to this island group. And because the wind was on the back of our boat, we used a sailor’s technique that is called ‘milk girl’ where you place 2 sails […]
154. Sailing Šibenik and up the Krka River
Our recent sailing trip took us to the beautiful town of Šibenik in Croatia and further up the picturesque Krka River. In the neighborhood of Šibenik, we met with Marco and Bianca. When we just bought our catamaran in 2019, we stayed for 2 years in the Netherlands to learn to sail and to get […]
153. Baška Voda and Makarska
We sailed along the coastline, in the Dalmatia region and visited Baška Voda and Makarska. Along the way there were a lot of bays and we anchored there, sometimes to swim or lunch and often to stay overnight, because sailing in Croatia is popular and the harbors are expensive during summer. Bays come in many […]
152. Split and Trogir
Our recent sailing trip along the Dalmatian coast, took us to the enchanting towns of Split and Trogir, two gems on the Adriatic Sea that each have their own unique charm and history. This trip not only offered beautiful sailing weather, but also a rich experience full of historical discoveries and cultural treasures. For me […]
151. Island Vis and shipwreck snorkeling in Mojito Bay
The adventure of sailing in Croatia continues. After the vibrant and elegant island of Hvar, we decided to explore an island that was again completely different: the island of Vis. I was triggered to visit this island because it is one of the inhabited Dalmatian Islands furthest from the coast. And Vis was only opened […]

149. Hvar
We had spent 3 wonderful days at the Lastovo Archipelago Nature Park where we enjoyed nature. Now we wanted to return to the ‘habited’ world again and we choose the island of Hvar to do so! Because this was again a complete different Croatian island from the islands we had seen so far. Hvar is […]
