Sailboat Charter in Pula

Geography and climate of Pula

Nestled between seven hills, this ancient town of Croatia has a naturally protected harbour on the inner part of a wide gulf. If you are sailing here, you must avail of one of two entrances on your yacht charter: the Adriatic Sea or through the Fažana Channel. Protected by the Alps, Pula benefits from a mild Mediterranean climate, with nearly every day of the week in summer months enjoying exquisite sunshine, perfect for a day on your sailboat sailing from the marina to the islands nearby. June through August see temperatures in Pula reach 28℃ with 10 hours of sunshine, meaning you won’t want to spend any time in the cabins of your boat.

Of course, like any town in Croatia, Pula can be subject to the Bora winds from the north which may affect sailing. In the summer, the Maestral winds for your sailboat charter are much more pleasant. Your skipper will be well capable of handling the winds on your yacht, or you can check the weather details in the marina before your boat leaves for a day of sailing. Many charters also occur in September in Pula, when the sea temperature is most pleasant every week. You can also avail of a lower price for mooring your sailboat in the marina due to less demand for yacht charters.

Admire the details of the architecture of Croatia on display in the town

Pula and the surrounding islands are famous for their ancient architecture. One of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres, locally known as Arena, is in the centre of the Old Town, and is an extremely popular destination for anyone who chooses Pula for a yacht charter. Your skipper will give you details on how to get there from the marina, its price, and when best to go. The tunnels underneath have been transformed into an exhibition, perfect to visit when you need a break from sailing during the week. Start your day exploring Pula early. Leave the cabins and meet at the Arch of Sergi, an ancient construction known across Croatia. Later, visit the market where the fishermen bring their fresh produce every day from their boat, and you can stock up on supplies for your sailboat before you continue your week of sailing. Thanks to the great price of the goods, you can buy your shopping for the week to make sure you – and your skipper – are well fed for the week on your yacht charter.
