About Croatia
Overview
Many yachts sail the Croatian water and around the islands of Dalmatia which is one of the true wonders in Europe with arguably some of the clearest waters. While doing this you’ll find a strong central European flavour in the architecture and Italian devotion to the good life percolates up from the coast, permeating Croatian food and style.
Croatians retain a strong attachment to the land and traditions that nourished the dream of independence for so long. Even as a tide of speculators and developers wash ashore, there is a real commitment to preserving the extraordinary beauty of the coast. Whether the country can hold out against the lure of easy money is an excruciating test of its character. But, so far the signs are promising.

Double Routes
To make our events the best that they possibly can be and for sailing and mooring to be smoother, we have now established two versions of the South Route – the Black and the Red Route. Each route has a capacity of up to 50 yachts and both will visit the same destinations, just on different days!
