Sailing Croatia In September

1. Lower yacht rental prices

The months July and August are considered as the& main sailing season in Croatia. Although the weather down the Croatian coast during summer period is truly glorious you can expect highest yacht charter prices.

September can be an excellent month to sail Croatia if you are on budget. Lots of yachts for rental are still available at affordable yacht charter prices and you can still expect lots of a summer vibe through September and first weeks of October.

2. More available charters for hire

I highly recommend that you book your sailing holidays in Croatia early. My advice is at least 6 months before your departure if you wish to get the right boat for the right price. Even though September isn't as busy as August, it is still very popular with experinced sailors visiting Adriatic sea for pure sailing pleasures.

Secure your sailboat or catamaran charter in Croatia at least by March and don't wait for last minute discounts. You might end up without a vacant vessel and reschedule your holidays. Most of the yachts are still available and Croatia yacht charter agencies ensure safe and favourable booking conditions.

3. Less-crowded islands & lower marine traffic

Wouldn't it be amazing to anchor in you very own lonely bay surrounded with the smells and sounds of unspoiled nature? I remember sailing to the popular islands Hvar, Korčula and Vis over 20 years ago. Island villages were similar to ghost towns with no tourists, only a few sailing yachts moored at the town pier and local fishermen chatting in a port tavern. Nowadays, yacht charter season in Croatia stretches almost till November. And it is the off-season period, when more and more sailors begin their yacht charter vacations in Croatia

Maritime traffic from mid. September is low with almost no motor boats or big cruisers blocking the harbors and you can always hope for a free berth and nice spots in a restaurant. Best ones are still operating throughout October offering fresh daily catch and home-grown products. If you desire truly genuine cruising experience in Dalmatia then take sailing trip in Croatia in Autumn.

4. Sailing conditions for a beginner or experienced sailor

The weather at the Croatian coast all through September is simply glorious. With relatively calm weather, no heat extremes, low winds and sea water still warm enough for swimming you can expect a delightful cruising vacation between the stunning  Croatian islands. September weather conditions might be more challenging and a true delight for sailing inclined. But if you wish to unwind and relax, there is still lots of a summer feel with high air temperatures.

The chance of an isolated storm or scattered rain in September is also possible, but the clouds usualy clear very quickly. The sun is keeping daily temperatures high, often reaching 30 (86F), while the sea is cold enough to maintain pleasant night temperatures. In September you definitively won't need Air Condition on your sailing yacht.

5. Is the sea warm in Croatia in September?

Adriatic sea is cooling down slower in Autumn, keeping the constant 20 degrees until late October while in spring (May till mid June) the sea keeps warming up. With is no extreme heat and soothing winds cooling the fragrant ocean air late summer is ideal for activity charter holiday. Thait is why Croatia yacht charter vacations in September is recommended for anyone who wishes to enjoy various water activities. In shoulder season you will always find best spots to anchor in lonely bays to unwind surrounded with untouched nature and blue seas. A beginner might find the weather conditions in Autumn too challenging for a bareboat rental and rather consider renting a sailing boat with experienced Croatian skipper. He will safely navigate the yacht to hidden bays and recommend secret restaurant locations where you can try top local delicacies.
