Sailing Croatia In September

1. Lower yacht rental prices

Sailing in Croatia during summer months July and August is ideal if you are a beginner or plan your a carefree sailing vacations with kids. The weather is glorious with high temperatures, low winds and everything is in full swing. But if you are looking for budget-friendly sailing week within high season, yacht charter prices might feel too pricey for your pocket.

That is why sailing in September brings best balance between the charter cost and the final cruising experience. Lots of bareboat yachts in Croatia are still available at affordable yacht charter prices and you can still catch a lot of summer vibe on the islands.

2. More available yachts for hire

Book sailing holidays in Croatia early is best advice.If you wish to get the right yacht for the right price, book your charter at least 6 months in advance. Even though September isn't as busy as August, it is still popular with sailors coming to Adriatic sea seeking pure sailing pleasures. 

So if you plan to sail in Spetember, secure your sailboat or catamaran charter in Croatia at least by March and don't wait for last minute discounts. You might end up without desired vessel and reschedule your holidays. Most of the yachts are still available and best Croatia yacht charter agencies offer safe and favourable booking conditions.

3. Less busy islands & lower marine traffic

Wouldn't it be amazing to anchor in you very own lonely bay surrounded with nothing but untouched nature? I remember sailing to the popular islands Hvar, Korčula and Vis over 20 years ago. Island villages were similar to ghost towns with no tourists, only a few sailing yachts moored at the town pier and local fishermen chatting in a port tavern. Nowadays, yacht charter season in Croatia stretches almost till November.

Maritime traffic in September is low with almost no motor yachts or big cruisers blocking the harbors so you can always hope for a free berth and nice spots in a restaurant. Best ones are still operating throughout October offering fresh daily catch and home-grown products. If you desire truly genuine cruising experience in Dalmatia then take sailing trip in Croatia in Autumn.

4. Sailing conditions ideal for beginners or experienced sailors

With no heat extremes, dry sunny periods and the sea still warm enough for swimming, September is also great time for various activities. Moderate winds and more challenging weather conditions will make sailing inclined even happier. The weather patterns are not as predictable as in high summer and challenging for a beginner, but you can always hire Croatian skipper to navigateyou yacht and stay on a safe side of you sailing trip.

The chance of an isolated storm or scattered rain in September is also possible, but the clouds usualy clear very quickly. The sun is keeping daily temperatures high, often reaching 30 (86F), while the sea is cold enough to maintain pleasant night temperatures. In September you definitively won't need Air Conditioning

5. Is the sea warm in Croatia in September?

Adriatic sea is cooling down slower in Autumn, keeping the constant 20 degrees until late October while in spring (May till mid June) the sea keeps warming up. With is no extreme heat and soothing winds cooling the fragrant ocean air late summer is ideal for activity charter holiday. Thait is why Croatia yacht charter vacations in September is recommended for anyone who wishes to enjoy various water activities. In shoulder season you will always find best spots to anchor in lonely bays to unwind surrounded with untouched nature and blue seas. A beginner might find the weather conditions in Autumn too challenging for a bareboat rental and rather consider renting a sailing boat with experienced Croatian skipper. He will safely navigate the yacht to hidden bays and recommend secret restaurant locations where you can try top local delicacies.
