The Not So Spotty Dalmatian coast of Croatia $3,925 per person

Croatia is not the home of the four legged Dalmatian but the four million two-legged types who do live there picked what is probably the best 1,000 kilometers of waterfront in the whole of the Mediterranean when they drew their national boundaries back in 1998.

A few million years ago someone dropped 1,200 islands just off the shore in the Adriatic and then dotted the coast with 51 full service marinas to create a cruising area without equal.

The success of Mariner Boating’s inaugural Marco Polo Cup last September endorsed this claim.



The Marco Polo Cup is not for everyone, however, and Mariner Boating have now combined with Sunsail and Lauda to offer a bareboat yacht charter in Croatia with an incredible starting price of $3,295 per person, which includes international flights to Vienna with Lauda and then on to Split with Austrian, arrival transfer, 7 days on the yacht with 6 sharing a new Beneteau Oceanis 423, security insurance.

A week won’t be long enough of course and you can add another seven days for not too much money, which means a sailing holiday in Croatia is nearly cheaper than staying home.

There are 3 bases, 200 yachts and other dates to choose from. Just call Natalie at Mariner and she’ll package all of your arrangements for you.
