Sailing season in Croatia stretchs between April & October. Best time to sail Croatia as a newbie is between June and September. High summer in Croatia might be quite busy with tourists but the weather is simply glorious. If you like more action, vivacity, buzzing streets and warm Mediterranean climate, you will enjoy most within the peak season months July or August. 

But if you prefer more tranquillity during your journey  June or September are best choice. Weather conditions with stronger wind, yet still warm temperatures in September, May or October can be a delight for active sailing vacation and a pure pleasure for adrenalin addicts.

The official currency in Croatia since 2023 is EURO. Credit cards are always accepted in marinas and mainland restaurants, while some secluded island restaurants only take cash! Buoy anchorages and some port fees you can only pay in cash. ATM is installed in almost every marina and town port in Croatia. In any case, we recommend to have some CASH in you pocket at all times during your Croatia sailing holiday. Don't leave you money and valuable things aboard when you leave your yacht. It can attract unwanted attention. We recommend a budget of 30€/day per person for food and extra 10-20€ for transfers, bars and harbor fees.
