SAILING



COASTLINE:
5,835 km, out of which 4,058 km comprise a coastline of islands, solitary rocks and reefs.
Number of islands, rocks and reefs: 1,185; the biggest islands are Krk and Cres; there are 50 inhabited islands.

Croatia is one of the best sailing spots in the Mediterranean. It features various pleasant winds - Maestral, Bura, Jugo, Tramontana - ideal for sailing experiences, as well as numerous islands, beaches and channels where one can do sail and enjoy almost untouched nature in the heart of Europe.
Sailing is truly the best way of discovering Croatia's remarkable coast. Many of the finest Croatian islands, such as the Kornati Islands National Park, are inaccessible without your own boat.
The Croatian coastline is perfect for sailing holidays. With so many islands and ports, you can stop as many times as you like or sail for as long as you wish. For those who like their sailing to have a social dimension, there are no fewer than 500 harbours and 50 fully serviced marinas, each with restaurants, hot showers, mini-marts and weather charts.

Vis Island

A jewel in the Southern Adriatic with a colourful history, from Roman times, the Napoloeonic wars, right through to WWII. Vis is also home to a number of spectacular restaurants, as well as secluded bays like, Stiniva, Srebrena and Stončica bay.

Hell's Islands

Just outside Hvar town, Hell's islands are a small picturesque archipelago, where you can hide away in the crystal clear waters of its many coves for a relaxed afternoon swim, before heading off to Hvar for a few cocktails.

Sarahun beach

Located on "Dugi Otok" just North of the Kornati National Park, Saharun's sandy beach is a rare find in these waters.

Mana, Veli Rasip

Within the Western part of the Kornati Archipelago, the imposing cliffs of Mana and Veli Rasip are a must see when sailing through this stunning area.

Pustinja Blaca monastery

The 15th Century monastery, cut into the cliffs of Brac island, has been in the same family of monks for over 500 years, is a rare view into the past, and a great afternoon walk.

Mljet National Park

The saline lakes within the National Park on the island of Mljet, set amongst a thick pine forest, is really worth a visit, and mountain biking around the park is the best way to see it.

Hvar town

An obvious choice, although this fashionable port is really worth a visit during the Summer months, for its Venetian architecture, its impressive hilltop Fort, and of course the trendy cocktail bars, and lively night life.

The Elafiti islands

Home to the Summer houses of the Dukes of Dubrovnik, the trio of Šipan, Lopud and Koločep are also full of hidden coves that are best explored by sea kayak.

Visovac Island

Visovac can be found nestled in the middle of a mountainous lake above the Krka waterfalls, some 30 min drive inland from Skradin marina. A real treat in the shoulder season.

Skrivena Luka ("The Hidden harbour") - Lastovo island

Almost invisible when sailing around Lastovo, this former pirate hideaway, is now a pleasant bay ideal for a lazy afternoon's swimming and snorkelling, and don't forget to try the lobster and Scorpion fish in the tavern at the bottom of the bay.

SPEARFISHING IN CROATIA



Spearfishing New Year Cup at Mali Losinj, Croatia Every year Mali Losinj, the largest place on the island of Losinj, (the Croatian Island located in Kvarner Gulf) organises a New Year’s Cup in spearfishing (underwater fishing).
The event includes two competitions, the Winter Cup of Cities and the European Cup of Nations, and this year it will be hold from 28th to 30th of December.
The Winter Cup has been held 47 times and the European Cup 37 times, pooling spearfishermen (underwater fishers) from ten nations.
The bond between Mali Lošinj and underwater fishing is attested to by a monument to the spearfishermen - the work of sculptor Ante Starcevic of Zagreb, who created the monument based on the original by sculptor Vinko Matkovic of Rijeka.
Spearfishing - Underwater fishing or apnoea (temporary cessation of breathing) fishing is numbered among the extreme sports as it entails many hours of extreme exertion at great depths, working at the limits of physical strength the fishers are subjected to, and the many potential dangers present in these conditions. It is the most selective kind of fishing as the fisher chooses the fish he or she will catch.
And while it is a sporting discipline, spearfishing knowledge has always been passed on among a small body of enthusiasts. Fish rich locations are kept a top secret.
Spearfishing is attracting a growing number of hobbyists and professionals from year to year. The New Year’s Cup in Mali Lošinj, like some other international events, are an indicator of the excellence of the top athletes and their exceptional physical and psychological preparedness.
Any island far away from coast is good for spearfishing(underwater fishing). Less people on island, more fish in sea.
The underwater relief offers a variety of bottoms and the underwater visibility is very good. The most interesting game for spearfishermen is all of the game mentioned above, together with various mullets, brown meagre and, of course, the queen among them all, the grouper.

Before embarking on a fishing expedition it is necessary to obtain a license. To obtain a license it is necessary to present proof of identity (passport, driver's license etc.) Licenses are issued by tourist agencies and offices in all towns along the coast.
Licenses are issued for recreational angling, underwater spear-gun fishing, hand trolling, long lining and tuna fishing. The whole Adriatic Sea is open for fishing and special limitations are applied in aquatoria of national parks (Kornati, Brijuni, Krka, Mljet), and for some smaller locations.
conditions: no scuba spearfishing, no night spearfishing, you must have a float
protected species:
cernia 1.7 - 31.08
corvina 15.5 - 15.7
dentex 15.4 - 15.6
regulations for the large and quantity: 5 kilos + one large fish

RAFTING IN CROATIA



Rafting the rivers of Croatia is a wonderful way to experience the unspoiled Croatian interior. Along the coast, the rivers are flanked by green banks and karstic canyons.
The grade of difficulty for most rivers is 3 but rises to grade 4 on the Dobra and Una rivers. Following are some of Croatia's best rafting rivers: Rafting is popular on the Cetina river, but the best place to go if you want to drift through canyons and hit the whitewater is Karlovac. With three rivers converging within just a few miles, there are multiple trips you can take from your base camp at Karlovac. If you do decide to run the rivers around Karlovac, your first day trip should be the Kupa river. The Kupa runs through Risnjak National Park, allowing you to see the park from the inside out and see the complete path of the river as it winds its way along. Unfortunately, the Kupa river is only high enough to raft during the spring.
Your second day of rafting should be on the Dobra River. The Dobra was the first river in Croatia to have commercial rafting trips grace its waters and is one of the most popular places to get wet with whitewater. Lush forests and mountains border the interior rivers. T.

Croatia's best rafting rivers:

River Kupa flows from the Risnjak National Park, flowing between forest-covered mountain slopes and rich valleys, but offering sufficient water for rafting only in spring and after heavy rainfalls.
River Dobra has a surface course and an underground course and offers first class rafting conditions at all times because dams and accumulation lakes permit a sufficient flow through of water.
River Mrežnica abounds with waterfalls, but between them the water flows calm. Rafting through the upper, canyon course involves elements of canyoning.
River Korana issues from the Plitvice lakes. After heavy rains and when snow melts the section below the picturesque site of Rastoke, and downstream through the canyon, is particularly attractive.
River Una, which forms the border between Croatia and Bosnia, provides excellent rafting conditions downstream of the 20 metre-high Štrbac(ki buk waterfall, when the waters are running high, although the experience is somewhat less exciting when water levels fall.
River Zrmanja abounds with water in springtime, while in summer smaller craft - canoes and kayaks - must be used to travel this, the most beautiful of Croatian canyons.
River Krka can be negotiated through the upper part of the national park due to the inflow from its tributary, the River Butišnica, which is controlled by a dam. Rafting is the only way to really get to know this undisturbed area of the park, and the only place where a detour by land is necessary is the 12 metre-high Bilušića buk waterfall.
River Cetina waters are directed via a tunnel towards a power plant on the coast, which means that there is not much water for rafting in its natural canyon bed. The experience is still worth undertaking if only because of thick and lush vegetation along its banks, the clear waters, high cliffs, waterfalls and caves.

SCUBA DIVING IN CROATIA



With more than 5800 km coastline and about 1180 islands, Croatia (eastern part of Adriatic sea) are among the most beautiful in the world and provide idyllic settings for scuba diving.
The eastern Croatian coast of the Adriatic sea lies on karst and is full of underwater caves, archaeological sites and wrecks ranging from Roman galleys to an Austro-Hungarian liner and second world war shipping.Bigest treasure for attracting all kinds of divers is rich flora and fauna.
Croatian waters are rumoured to be among the clearest in the world. They offer scuba divers a wide range of excellent scuba diving opportunities. On the best days, you might have about 25 metres of visibility under water, which is an exceptional distance.
The oldest localities containing the remains of sunken ships date from the times of Antiquity, and are to be found on the ancient trading routes leading from Greece towards northern Italy, and all the colonies founded along that route on the shores of the Adriatic: Cavtat (Epidaurus), Mljet (Meleda), Korčula ( Korkira), Hvar ( Pharos), Vis (Issa), Split(Asphalatos / Spalatum), Solin (Salona), Trogir (Tragurium), Rogoznica (Heracleia), anchorage sites in the Kornati archipelago (Žirje, Lavsa, Murter), the wider area of Šibenik and Zadar (Liburnia / Jadera), Pula(Pola), Roman villas on the Brijuni islands, and many other micro-locations once used by ancient mariners as refuges and anchorages.
The best scuba diving opportunities are mostly found along the southern parts of the coast, and on the many Croatian islands' sea-facing sides. These areas are also the parts that offer the most diverse scuba diving opportunities, because the southern parts of the coast are closer to deeper waters, which makes fish types more varied and plentiful.
Split is the main centre for flight and ferry connections. Nearest dive location is Bol on the island of Brac.The more remote island of Vis is another good introduction to Croatian scuba diving. The town of Komiža on the western tip has a good selection of wrecks ranging from Roman galleys to an Austro-Hungarian liner and second world war shipping.
Another versatile location for scuba diving is Vela Luka the Island of Korčula. Underwater world of Vela Luka as the most complex and the most interesting in the Mediterranean.
In the central part of croatian Adriatic Sea, about 15 Nm to the west from Šibenik town, 7Nm to the southwest from Murter , or 15 Nm to the south from Zadar town, there is amazing group of islands named Kornati archipelago.
The Kornati area is virtually inexhaustible in its variety of locations offering quite specific types of underwater relief: steep walls teeming with life, underwater caves, crevices and passages covering a large area of northern Dalmatia.
There are numerous scuba diving centers and clubs along the coast of Croatia.
They organize scuba diving courses for both , the beginners, experienced divers and snorkeling courses for children. All courses are very affordable and highly professional . They also hire equipment and offer excursions in the most beautiful locations.

BEST WINDSURFING LOCATIONS IN CROATIA



Premantura (Pula)

In Premantura, which is the most outer part of Istrian peninsula, a pleasant Southeastern wind blows in summer suitable for windsurfing-beginners, while bura and strong jugo winds blow in the fall and springtime.
Because of the favorable blowing direction of the wind (directly towards land), bura in Premantura is not dangerous because it will bring you directly to the shore in case of an accident. Jugo, on the other hand, causes waves as big as 2 or 3 meters because of the shallowness of the sea and makes Premantura to a well-known wave spot. During those times you can surf big waves on short boards.

Ravni and Rabac

Near Ravni, a place south of Labin, the part of the channel between land and coast of the island of Cres is the narrowest. Pleasant warm winds that blow from the Southwest reaching up to 15 notches create good conditions for windsurfers. One other favorable spot for windsurfing is situated near Rabac - a strong and constant wind is created by bura that blows from Velebit and big waves appear suitable for surfers - free riders.

Preluk (Volosko near Opatija)

Favorable winds blow for surfers and windsurfers in Preluk Bay not far from Volosko early in the morning and during night because of the temperature difference between land and sea. Conditions for surfing are best in the beginning of autumn because winds can then turn to tramuntane during the night. Surfers often come in the night and start to surf in the dark waiting for dawn on the waves.

Punat and Baška(island of Krk)

The island of Krk is definitely a good place to windsurf, and depending on your surfing skills you can choose between two locations: Baška and Punat.

Punat is a more quiet and calm bay that is more suitable for beginners and middle-experienced surfers because bura blows with medium strength, and the sea is smooth without any waves.
