A thousand islands, and many reasons to come back every summer
Short hops, stone harbour towns and water clear enough to count the pebbles. Croatia is the easiest first charter in Europe: distances are small, anchorages are sheltered and the food ashore is honest and excellent. Katarina, our founder, is originally from Croatia, so these are the islands, bays and konobas she grew up with.
Best months
Dark = best · light = good · grey = off season
July and August are the busiest and priciest weeks. Late May, June and September give warm water, calmer harbours and better availability.
