Autumn offers surprising things, and one of them is sailing! Many associate the sea only with summer, neglecting other seasons, especially autumn. Sailing in Croatia in autumn is truly magical.

The temperatures are mild, it is neither too hot nor too cold. Breathing is easier, there is no heat wave and you can go out without worrying about whether you have put on sunscreen. You don't waste precious time waiting in various queues, so you have more time for yourself and your favourite activities.

More free space

No more rushing to the harbours to find a free buoy. You are sure to find a free place in the harbour, marina or at a buoy in the bay, because the "summer captains" are done sailing. In addition, in many places mooring fees are no longer charged, so you can park your boat for free.

Learning to love autumn temperatures

After a hectic summer, the demand for charter boats subsides, so you can sail out of the marina with the boat you've chosen. Temperatures are a little lower, which makes exploring hidden bays in the Adriatic all the more enjoyable.

Every sailor's dream

Autumn brings many advantages - the winds are more stable, there are more of them than at other times of the year and they blow at a steady speed without much fluctuation. Also, the more frequent and longer night-time dampness cleans your boat of salt water droplets, so you have more time to enjoy sailing and less to worry about cleaning. Alone on the open sea, the seagulls fly over the water and the only sound you will hear is the roar of the sea as you sail with the power of the wind and thanks to the sails of your boat.
