Seven-day boat itinerary through the magical north Croatian archipelago

There is nothing like a boat cruise through the Kvarner archipelago. Gorgeous water labyrinth filled with stunning coves and beaches. Its diverse nautical offer makes it especially popular with Italian, Slovenian, and Austrian boaters. Charming islands will impress you with colorful towns, friendly people, pine-forest scent, and untouched nature. A seven-day long charter route is ideal for exploring this breathtaking part of the Adriatic sea.

Boating spot number one is island Krk

Krk is a popular charter starting point for the Kvarner region in Croatia. Due to easy access by plane, land, or by boat makes it an excellent choice for north Croatian archipelago exploration. The perfectly secluded location of Marina Punat offers protection from weather conditions for more than 800 boats. It is also well known as an environment-conscious harbor. Care for the land, water, and air, got the port a "Blue flag" award for more than 20 years in a row. Pretty impressive, don't you think?!

Wonderful diving opportunity nearby Krk is the greek cargo shipwreck called Peltastis. Defeated by a strong storm, since then Peltastis has a whole new life serving as a fish hiding place and diving attraction.

Gamble on lucky number seven. In island Krk, everything revolves around the number seven. Settled in the seventh century, has seven small towns and seven different dialects. Attacked by the PIRATES & managed to defend itself, you guessed it - seven times. Indeed a lucky number.

When in doubt, go big

Cres is the biggest Croatian island. Big enough not to be overwhelmed with mass yachting tourism. 66 kilometers in length Cres has more than enough bays to feel alone in the world.

Another popular boating spot is: Saint Ivan bay in front of Lubenice beach, voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia. White pebbled beach Lubenice surrounded by steep cliffs, is in short, a nature's spectacle.

Just keep in mind that the beautiful bay of St. Ivan is very exposed and as such is not suitable for night mooring.

Sail away to Losinj island

Boaters' sweet spot on Lošinj is Krivica bay, captivating turquoise waters just luring you to hold your breath, dive in, and explore Croatian seabed.

If you ever dream of meeting dolphins while sailing, this is the place. Losinj water area is home to a colony of bottlenose dolphins, and it is even possible to "adopt" one.

The best time to visit small island towns like Mali and Veli Losinj is certainly early morning. Sleeping streets, not yet filled with people, make a perfect photoshoot opportunity. Make sure visits to vivid local markets end up on your charter itinerary.

Veli & Mali Losinj (meaning big and small Losinj) are two neighboring small towns on the island of Losinj. The fun part is that the little one outgrew the big one because it had more space to develop. Despite all this, both have kept their names.

Boaters haven

With more than 30 sandy beaches and crystal clear warm shallow water, island Rab is the ideal charter destination for families with small children.

The absolute best time to visit Rab is during a famous medieval festival called Rabska Fijera. The festival lasts for 3 days 25-27. of July, and it's heald in the honor of Saint Christoph, for his protection from foreign invaders. It is a unique opportunity to see forgotten medieval tournaments, crafts, enjoy music and dance.

Croatian coastal and island land was mostly bare and rocky. To divide it among themselves and access some more growing soil, Croatians have created amazing endless stone drywalls called Suhozid or Gromaca. Some now collapsed, but most still stand strong now under UNESCO protection.

There is no party like a boat party

How does a 7000 m2 open-air clubbing sound? Party festivals and some of the most notorious clubs in Croatia, call the town Novalja on the island Pag their home. If you in for some wild nights and 24/7 partying, Zrce beach is the place to go. Perfect for trying different sports like wakeboarding, parasailing, and even bungee jumping. This well-known party destination attracts young boaters from all around the world.

One of the rare Michelin star restaurants in Croatia is Restoraunt Boskinac in Stara Novalja. Combining traditional Croatian cuisine with culinary masterminds resulted in one of the best gastronomy stories in the Adriatic.

Island Pag, infamous for strong wind called Bura. So when in need best to take cover without a delay, in a small nautical port ACI marina in the village of Šimuni, you'll find a quiet place to recover and recharge.

Croatian most famous cheese is Paski sir, produced on the island Pag. Made from 100 % sheep milk by using only traditional methods and a hundred-year-old recipe. Six liters of milk equals one kilogram of cheese. Important to point out, Paski sir now is a part of intangible Croatian cultural heritage.
