Why Croatia is a Fantastic Family Sailing Destination?

Natural Beauty

Croatia’s Adriatic Sea is a treasure trove of natural wonders. Picture crystal-clear waters, hundreds of picturesque islands, and the untouched beauty of Kornati National Park

Kornati is particularly special, offering secluded bays far from the noise and crowds, where families can truly relax and connect with nature. The calm waters and countless small islands create a sheltered environment, making sailing routes smooth and enjoyable. 

With short distances between destinations with so many bays to avoid strong winds, these routes are perfect for families, ensuring every journey feels like part of the adventure, not a chore.

Safe Sailing Waters

Croatia’s waters are renowned for their safety, especially for families with children. The calm seas and well-marked sailing routes provide ideal conditions for swimming, snorkeling, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Adriatic. 

For added peace of mind, Funky Tours has a strong connection with Croatia’s coastal medical services. In the rare case of an emergency, our crew is fully prepared to act swiftly, ensuring your family’s safety and well-being at all times.

Rich Culture and History

Croatia isn’t just about natural beauty—it’s a cultural playground for families. Medieval towns like Sibenik and Skradin offer fascinating histories to explore, while charming islands like Zlarin captivate with unique attractions such as the Coral Museum. 

Kids and parents alike can dive into Croatia’s rich past, exploring ancient streets, learning about coral craftsmanship, and experiencing the magic of these coastal gems.

Accessibility

Getting to your sailing adventure has never been easier. Our marina is conveniently located within an hour’s drive of two major airports—Split and Zadar.
