May: The Beginning of a Journey

As we set sail on our first Croatia sailing trips in May, Funky Sails welcomed the season with the spirit of exploration. May is when Northern Dalmatia’s unspoiled beauty is at its finest, with islands and coastal gems still untouched by the summer crowds.

Highlight of the Month: Preserved and Untouched Northern Dalmatia
In May, we charted courses through the serene landscapes of Northern Dalmatia including regions of Kornati National Park and Šibenik archipelago, where each island feels like a secluded paradise. Guests experienced a sailing escape away from the usual tourist paths, encountering small fishing villages and hidden coves that are as tranquil as they are beautiful.

This month also marked a special milestone for Funky Sails, as we were proudly featured on the British news portal INews.co.uk. This feature introduced our unique sailing adventures to the British market, sparking interest among UK travelers eager for an authentic and scenic way to explore Croatia’s coastline.

June: Remoteness at Every Corner

With the summer sun warming the Adriatic, June brought our next wave of adventurers eager to experience the breathtaking isolation that Croatia’s coast offers. Our June guests enjoyed itineraries that balanced sailing and discovery, taking them to islands and inlets that felt like personal sanctuaries, each spot chosen to showcase Croatia’s more remote and exclusive corners.

Highlight of the Month: Perfect Sailing Weather and Unmatched Serenity
June’s experience was defined by endless sunny days, crystal-clear waters, and an ambiance of remoteness. Sailing through Croatia’s archipelagos in June allowed us to visit areas like the Kornati Islands, where the sea and sky seem to merge into one vast canvas. With fewer crowds, guests could revel in the peacefulness of the islands, anchoring in bays where nature’s symphony of waves and breeze provided a true escape.

Memorable Moments with Guests
This month, we were privileged to host some truly amazing guests who brought warmth and excitement to each journey. A highlight for many was the onboard cooking experience, where our culinary skills became a cherished part of the trip. Guests delighted in the fresh, local flavors prepared onboard, making every meal a memorable moment shared under the open sky.

July: Summer in Full Swing

July marked the peak of summer, bringing with it vibrant energy, warmer seas, and bustling coastal towns. With our well-equipped, air-conditioned catamarans, Funky Sails guests enjoyed both the sunny summer warmth and refreshing comfort onboard. This month, we crafted itineraries that balanced Croatia’s lively summertime atmosphere with serene island escapes, allowing our guests to truly savor each destination.

Highlight of the Month: Ideal Water Temperatures and Welcoming Island Vibes
July offered perfect water temperatures, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports—an absolute highlight of the season. Despite it being peak travel season, our selected destinations, including the islands of Zlarin, Prvić, and Tijat, maintained a comfortable, welcoming vibe. These islands attracted a lively yet manageable crowd, avoiding the intensity of mass tourism and providing our guests with the best of both worlds: vibrant local culture and moments of peaceful relaxation.

August: Escaping the Crowds in Northern Dalmatia

August is the height of Croatia’s tourist season, with central Dalmatia bustling with visitors. But Funky Sails found the perfect escape by charting courses through the quieter, less crowded gems of Northern Dalmatia. Our carefully planned itineraries allowed us to bypass the busier hubs, immersing our guests in the region’s tranquil beauty while still enjoying the vibrant summer ambiance.

Highlight of the Month: Uncrowded Anchorages and Culinary Delights
While popular destinations like Split, Hvar, and Brac saw heavy tourist traffic, our routes in Northern Dalmatia provided a refreshing contrast. We had the freedom to anchor at picturesque marinas without the usual August crowds, ensuring a relaxed and flexible sailing experience. With favorable winds throughout the month, our guests enjoyed ideal sailing conditions, making each day on the water truly exhilarating.

Adding to the experience, our talented chefs crafted exceptional Mediterranean dishes that celebrated local flavors. Every meal onboard became a feast of fresh, delicious cuisine, bringing a taste of the region to life with every bite. In August, Funky Sails guests truly enjoyed the best of both worlds: Croatia’s peak season charm and the serene exclusivity of Northern Dalmatia.

September: Serenity and Scenic Beauty

As summer began to wind down in September, Funky Sails embraced the slower pace and the softer side of Croatia’s coast. With the crowds thinning out, September became a month of tranquility, offering our guests a relaxed and intimate sailing experience. The quieter routes and serene destinations allowed everyone to soak in Croatia’s coastal beauty without the usual summer bustle.

Highlight of the Month: Dolphin Sightings and Peaceful Escapes
In September, our guests enjoyed the exceptional calm of this part of Croatia, with notable highlights including dolphin sightings in the Krka Canal—a truly magical moment for everyone on board. We anchored near Sibenik and visited Krka National Park, where fewer visitors meant our guests could immerse themselves fully in the area’s natural wonders. We also explored our special spot in Kornati National Park, where the peaceful surroundings and rugged landscapes captured the essence of Croatia’s untouched beauty.

September was a month for recharging, as our guests relished the tranquility of each location, connecting deeply with nature and savoring Croatia’s scenic charm in a quieter setting.

October: A Fulfilling Finale to the Season

October marked the closing chapter of Funky Sails’ 2024 season, with the last few charters taking us on memorable, windy journeys along Croatia’s autumnal coast. The month brought a touch more wind, creating exhilarating days at sea and adding a fresh, adventurous feel to each voyage. As the season gently wound down, our guests enjoyed the cozy ambiance onboard, often sipping local wines while taking in the crisp, scenic beauty of Croatia in the fall.

Highlight of the Month: A Celebration of Quality and Success
In October, our guests experienced Croatia’s coastline in a new light—a blend of autumnal tranquility and vibrant seascapes. The month offered a unique sailing experience that was just as enjoyable as the peak summer days, allowing our guests to savor every remaining moment on the water. By mid-October, as we completed our final charters, we looked back on a season filled with unforgettable experiences, exceptional guests, and the highest quality service. The journey’s success left us all grateful and excited for the adventures that lie ahead.
