Casting off on your luxury yacht charter in Croatia from Pula means you’ll be privy to the lesser-visited northern stretch of the country’s coastline and its many islands. Pula, a historic Istrian town that glistens with a cache of phenomenal Roman-era treasures, is a gorgeous city in which to spend a few days before you board your yacht.
Here is what your 7-day Pula to Zadar itinerary can look like…
On day 1 of your charter, you’ll board your yacht in Pula, meet your friendly crew and get acquainted with your new, luxurious floating home. Start off with a delicious welcome refreshment, unpack and get comfortable
Your adventure can start at once – set sail for nearby Brijuni National Park, where you can anchor for the night in an idyllic hidden cove. If you have not had the chance to explore Pula, however, we suggest you stay docked in town and take a guided historic tour.
Just a few swim strokes away from Pula, the Brijuni National Park is a striking archipelago comprising over one dozen spectacular islands. This was the revered holiday destination of choice for the former Yugoslav leader, Josip Broz Tito.
Nowadays, it is a most coveted weekend destination for walkers, cyclists, sailors and history lovers alike. On land, you’ll have an array of trails to follow (you can rent bicycles on site) a small but gorgeous safari park to visit and a marvelous historical route to discover.
On the third day of your Croatian yacht charter, you may want to enjoy a longer sailing stint, casting your sights for glorious Unije, the outermost island within the Cres-Lošinj archipelago. Spend an entire afternoon soaking up the rays on dreamy Maracol Beach, unleash your yacht’s water toy collection or set foot on land for a heart-pumping and very rewarding hike.
Unije is quite unique: it is one of the least gentrified islands in all of Croatia and life goes on here as it has been for centuries. Authentic, laid-back and uncrowded, it is a real pearl among all the Dalmatian jewels. A cache of seaside restaurants and bars might just entice you to spend your evening on land.
The absolute diving gem of the northern Dalmatian islands, Premuda is a speck of spectacular rugged beauty. The coastline is carved by a system of semi-submerged caves whose play on sunlight creates a kaleidoscope of fantastical colors.
Like stained glass windows of ancient cathedrals, Premuda’s aptly named Katedrala will leave you spellbound.
A collection of pebble and sand beaches define Silba, a diminutive speck of Dalmatian beauty that boasts insanely striking scenery. The seas here are Caribbean-like: shallow, warm, crystal-clear and in an array of enticing shades of blue and green.
Car-free Silba is a delight for all the senses, and spending the last day of your Croatian yacht charter here means you’ll end your experience on a truly unforgettable note.
A short and sweet sail after a sumptuous breakfast will see you reach the 7th-largest island in the Adriatic. Dugi Otok, or long island in Croatia, is a spellbinding island, home to arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire country, Saharun. This secluded and postcard-perfect stretch of beach is on the northern coast, framed by palm trees on one side and turquoise seas on the other.
Renowned for its charming collection of orchards and vineyards, Dugi Otok is a popular day-trip option for visitors to Zadar, although docking here overnight, in your luxury yacht, means you can feel as if you have it all to yourself.
After a relaxing breakfast, your Croatian yacht charter will conclude in beautiful Zadar. We highly recommend you spend at least two nights, post-charter, in this captivating town. You can explore the quaint historic quarter and soak up a brilliant sunset along the seaside promenade.
The beauty of Croatia attracts many yacht owners as well as the yachting enthusiast, therefore it makes Croatia one of the best places offering such a wide range of yachts.
