Croatia Catamaran Adventure from Trogir – Island Hopping and Sailing Holiday in the Adriatic

Sailing through the Croatian islands has been a dream come true. From the moment we boarded, the crew made everyone feel safe and relaxed. I shared a cabin with my best friend and we were both surprised by how spacious and comfortable it was. Every day started with a swim in a new bay, followed by fresh coffee and local fruit on deck. One highlight was climbing Fortica in Hvar at sunrise—the views were unbelievable. We also joined a wine tasting on Vis that turned into a spontaneous dinner with other guests. Evenings were peaceful, anchored under stars with music in the background and the sound of the sea. I’ve never felt more unplugged and present. If you love nature, good food, and slow travel, this is the trip for you.

Every detail of this sailing trip was well thought out, from the route to the meals on board. I appreciated the balance between relaxing time on the catamaran and the curated activities onshore. Exploring the Blue Cave near Vis by kayak was surreal—something I’ll never forget. I also loved the peaceful anchorage near Drvenik, where we grilled fish and swam in silence. The crew were always kind and ready to help, but never invasive. I was traveling with my partner and we both felt this was one of the most authentic travel experiences we’ve had. The vibe on board was laid-back but lively. If you’re looking for a different way to explore the Adriatic—this is it.

One week on board and I feel like I lived a lifetime of beauty. From the very first sail out of Trogir, I was hooked—the wind, the colors, the sensation of gliding through the sea. But what truly made this trip special were the shared moments: watching dolphins, cooking pasta together, anchoring in hidden bays. Hvar was a standout for me, especially the hike up to Fortica and the swim that followed. But even quiet mornings with coffee and a book on deck felt like treasure. The group on board became like family—meals, music, laughter under the stars. Croatia is stunning, but experiencing it by sailboat gives it a soul you just can’t find on land.

This was my first time sailing and I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but it exceeded everything. The boat was elegant yet cozy, and I loved waking up every morning to a different horizon. The crew made everything effortless. I especially enjoyed exploring Vis Island: we visited ancient ruins, strolled through the town, and ended with local wine and cheese in a small cellar. Back on board, we’d gather on the bow with a glass of wine to watch the sunset. Swimming in the Pakleni Islands was another highlight—the water was so clear, I couldn’t stop diving in! I came alone and left with new friends from all over Europe. Croatia by boat gives you a totally different perspective, and I can’t wait to do it again next summer.
