Go Croatia Sail, the specialist Croatian small ship cruise operator, is offering spectacular four and five-day sailing cruises across the Adriatic Sea between Split and Dubrovnik for groups looking to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Croatia as a holiday destination continues to rise in popularity. In Q1 2024 alone, the country saw more than 1.1 million arrivals and over 3 million overnight stays, an increase of 16% on the same time period from 2023*. The desirable setting matched with Go Croatia Sail’s impressive value for money, bespoke itineraries and contemporary onboard facilities, means guests have everything they need whilst being immersed in 360 degrees of stunning Croatian scenery.
With anti-tourism protests hitting the headlines, Go Croatia Sail is a great example of how to challenge this with little negative impact. Providing accommodation off land and therefore not worsening property inflation or housing opportunities for locals, whilst still boosting the local economy. Consequently, not contributing to road traffic, and operating from smaller boats with fewer environmental impacts than large cruise ships, are all ways that the small ship cruise operator is counteracting many of the concerns.
Go Croatia Sail offers two fantastic short cruise options and guests can choose to enjoy either a four-day sail starting in Split and then docking at Makarska, Mljet Island (or Sipan Island) and ending in Dubrovnik or a five-day sail beginning in Dubrovnik, ending in Split and stopping off at Korcula Island and Hvar Island along the way. Each day the boat will anchor off the coast to give guests a great opportunity to enjoy a swim in the calm clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Flexibility for group trips is one of the most impressive perks of Go Croatia Sail, ensuring that guest stays are as bespoke as possible for everyone onboard, and a stress-free trip of a lifetime is a given. Providing the boat has been booked exclusively for a group of 16 or more the dedicated Go Croatia Sail team can work with guests to ensure the itinerary is as adventurous or laid back as they want it to be and represents their interests perfectly. In addition, the team can also support with planning optional activities or excursions, at an additional cost, for times off board the boat. Whether guests are seeking the best nightlife hotspots, a relaxing afternoon at Bamboodu Spa in Dubrovnik or wine tasting at Korcula Island, the team can plan ahead to make sure there are plenty of ways for the group to experience Croatia in style.
Offering excellent value for money in comparison to a regular hotel stay, the trips include accommodation onboard for every night as well as half board meals with a delicious breakfast and lunch provided each day. There is also an optional BBQ dinner on one of the evenings, for an additional cost, serving delicious local produce. All cabins include an ensuite shower room, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
Go Croatia Sail offer an impressive range of boat categories to suit groups of all sizes, depending on your group’s price point and priorities. The Classic Plus can hold a maximum of 36 guests whilst Premier, featuring a diving platform and spacious salon and rear seating area, can accommodate up to 40 guests. The Premier Plus, in addition to Premier features, also has a jacuzzi to add a further contemporary feel. The boat can host up to 36 people. The top range boat, Superior, contains all the mentioned features along with an extra-large sun deck for additional space, comfort and convenience, also bookable for up to 36 guests.
James Childs, Sales Manager at Go Croatia Sail comments: “Our sailing cruises really do offer one of the best ways to see Croatia without breaking the bank. The bespoke group trips on offer are something very special and the shorter trip options make us stand out from other operators in the area where a typical sail duration is seven nights. Even across just three nights, you can see so much of Croatia’s spectacular sights whilst having everything you could need onboard, it’s such an efficient yet enjoyable way to holiday. Our guests always make lifelong memories, the boats are perfect for a trip with friends, family, teams, classes or colleagues.”
For groups looking for the ultimate, shared, hassle-free travelling experience, prices start from £369 per person for four days on one of the Classic Plus boats. The Group Leader gets their space for free if an entire boat is filled by their group. Other additional costs apply for an open bar drinks package and excursions. For guests who aren’t able to fill the whole boat, cabin charter is available for the same price per person. Trips are categorised as 18-35yrs, 30-49yrs or mixed ages (10-69yrs).
