This naturist sailing holiday in Croatia starts in Sukošan, near Zadar. You hire a yacht to suit your group and can either sail independently or book the services of a professional skipper. There is no fixed itinerary. The wind, weather conditions, your sailing experience and your own preferences determine which islands, bays and harbours you visit.
This holiday is particularly suited to naturists who enjoy spending time outdoors and prefer not to follow a fixed daily schedule. Days can be spent sailing, swimming, snorkelling and dropping anchor in peaceful bays. Towards evening, you can head for a sheltered bay or harbour for the night. It is an ideal way to combine the freedom of naturism with the varied island scenery of Northern Dalmatia.
You travel exclusively with your own group and choose a yacht with the right number of cabins and berths for your party.
Enjoy the privacy to sunbathe naked on deck and swim without a swimsuit in secluded bays whenever the surroundings allow.
Plan your route around the weather, your sailing experience and destinations such as Telašćica, Sali, Vrgada and the Kornati Islands.
Naturist life on board
The yacht is your own private base throughout the holiday, creating a more intimate and personal atmosphere than you would find on a group cruise. You can generally sunbathe and relax naked on deck while the yacht is under sail or anchored in a quiet bay. The bathing platform also gives you direct access to the water whenever you fancy a naturist swim or snorkelling break.
Choose a yacht that suits your group
The exact layout and equipment vary from yacht to yacht. A modern sailing yacht will usually have several double cabins, a saloon, a galley and one or more compact bathrooms with a toilet and shower. Outside, there is generally a cockpit with seating, a bimini or sunshade and a bathing platform or swimming ladder.
Typical facilities
- separate cabins with storage space;
- galley with cooking facilities and a refrigerator;
- toilet and shower on board;
- cockpit with seating and an outdoor table;
- swimming ladder or bathing platform;
- navigation and safety equipment;
- option to book a professional skipper.
Facilities such as air conditioning, heating, a coffee machine, additional refrigeration or a watermaker depend on the yacht you choose. Always check the specifications of the yacht offered in your proposal. Bear in mind, too, that cabins and bathrooms on a sailing yacht are more compact than those in an apartment or hotel.
Depart from Sukošan's large marina
Your sailing holiday starts in Sukošan, a short distance from Zadar. Its large marina caters specifically for sailing and charter yachts, with toilets and showers, shops, restaurants and cafés, technical services, a fuel station and parking all close at hand.
Arrival and departure are generally on Saturdays. Before boarding, you can stock up on provisions and inspect the yacht, safety equipment and inventory. You can then discuss the first leg of your journey. You will not need a car during your week at sea, although having one can be useful for getting to the marina or combining your sailing holiday with a stay on the Croatian mainland.
If you would prefer to depart from another marina, mention this when making your enquiry. Whether this is possible will depend on yacht availability, the charter company and any additional costs involved.
