When should I hire my yacht in Zadar?

Any skipper will tell you that every marina in Croatia fills up in July and August with yacht charters, with every day of the week seeing a new catamaran, motor boat, or bareboat charter arriving to the berths. The price of these berths also tends to increase during high season, and Zadar is no different. However, you can sail through Dalmacija and its glorious islands from any week between April and October, thanks to the exquisite sun. Temperatures during your day of sailing on the sailboat you rent can increase to the low thirties! September is a good time to sail thanks to the warmer sea temperatures and less crowded marina, meaning you won’t have to compete with other yachts for space for your berths. When sailing, your skipper or your group should be mindful of the Bora, Jugo and Maestral winds – view details before sailing to new places. Although during your yacht charter holiday in Zadar, these should not be too much of an issue.
