{"id":6,"count":16,"description":"The <strong>Croatia<\/strong> section of the Borrow A Boat Magazine covers chartering and sailing on the Adriatic. Articles here pair route planning with harbour notes and seasonal context, answering the questions sailors ask before booking a yacht in Split, Trogir, Zadar, or Dubrovnik.\n\nThe Croatian coast runs roughly 1,700 km along the eastern Adriatic with more than 1,200 islands offshore. Sailing season runs April to October. The shoulder months (May to early June, September) deliver 23 to 25 degree water, calmer winds, and 30 to 40 percent lower charter prices than peak August. The bora wind blows from the northeast in spring and autumn; the maestral is a mild northwesterly thermal that fills in most summer afternoons.\n\nThis section covers:\n\n\n<strong>Charter and licensing:<\/strong> which boat licenses Croatian harbourmasters accept (ICC, SBF-See plus SKS, RYA Day Skipper, US Sailing Bareboat) and how to charter without a license.\n<strong>Routes:<\/strong> Split-Hvar-Vis 7-day loops, Sukosan-Kornati for the national park, Dubrovnik-Mljet-Lastovo for the south Adriatic.\n<strong>Destinations:<\/strong> guides to Hvar, Vis, Bra\u010d, Kor\u010dula, Mljet, the Pakleni Islands, and quieter anchorages like Lastovo and Susak.\n<strong>Practical guides:<\/strong> Croatian Konobas and food, snorkeling spots, the five national parks reachable by boat, party islands, and budget charter tips.\n\n\nReady to book?
