Boat trips are often taken to the beach from Dubrovnik. So if you plan your catamaran tour around Dubrovnik, ask your skipper to pay a quick visit to this beautiful beach.

The Heart Island - Galešnjak

We generally think that sailing on a luxury catamaran in Croatia is a very good idea for special occasions like a unforgettable honeymoon. But since the heart island of Galešnjak in Croatia was discovered via Google Maps in 2009, it makes for a perfect romantic sailing trip. Hire a skippered catamaran in Croatia, sail with your sweetheart into stunning sunsets and organise a romantic dinner on the heart-shaped island.

Dolphin watching on the island of Lošinj

When you explore Croatia on a catamaran, you'll have the chance to spot dolphins off the island of Lošinj, surrounded by turquoise waters, if you're lucky. The waters of Kvarner, known to be very clean and pure, are home to a group of about 200 dolphins. Sail on a catamaran in Croatia and meet these friendly sea creatures.
