In this instalment of our alphabet series, we're focusing on two problem-makers in Croatian language: letters Č and Ć

So many people asked me, why in the world would you take a sailboat all the way to Europe, to Yugoslavia? Well, it's the will to go where and when I please. It's a will that has existed in sailors ever since they crossed the smallest body of water. There's hardly a place where water flows that sailors cannot and will not sail. And only a fool would believe it was easy.

October 15^th 2017, the summer goes on and on. Will October become the new September for sailing in Croatia?

The fifth edition of Rijeka Nautic Show took place last weekend, September 29 – October 1. Over the years, Rijeka became one of the favourite destinations in Croatia for sailing enthusiasts, and judging by the number of occupied berths at the waterfront in the city centre, it's also transforming into a popular destination for yacht owners.

On September 29, Murter island celebrated the day of its patron saint Mihovil (Michael). The island population doesn't mess around when it comes to important events, so they actually celebrate throughout Septmeber with a manifestation titled Days of the Lateen Sail (Dani Latinskog Idra) and a regatta featuring traditional wooden boats with lateen sails. Why not turn such events into a better-marketed, popular brand? 

Substantially increased sojourn tax for boat owners in Croatia in 2018 caused an international backlash.

Congratulations to Marina Punat!

Every week, new holidaymakers fly, drive or ferry into Croatia, excited to start their charter – a week sailing in Croatia! And, guaranteed every week, guests ask to board early. We have two words for you – please don’t.

Part of the beauty of chartering your own yacht is being able to anchor away from the crowds; however, there are factors to consider when choosing to dock or anchor.

For the week of the 19^th – 26^th August 2017, Total Croatia Sailing’s Editor Tash Pericic took to the water, working as a hostess for the week aboard a luxury charter yacht and has been logging her experiences.
