Split is often experienced as a historic Mediterranean city break, but the city was shaped as much by the sea as by its streets. Sailing into the nearby islands reveals the deeper story of Dalmatia, a coastline defined by maritime routes, island communities and a rhythm that unfolds far beyond the city walls.
Choosing the right catamaran is one of the most important decisions when planning a sailing holiday in Croatia. While all Lagoon models offer comfort and stability, each size creates a different experience on the water.
Choosing the right sailing route in Croatia is less about ticking off famous island names and more about understanding how you want your days and evenings to feel. The same country can offer very different sailing experiences depending on trip length, region, group type, and season.
In January 2026, Funky Tours attended boot Düsseldorf, the world’s leading boat show and watersports exhibition. Although we did not exhibit with our own stand, our focus was clear: to meet industry partners, follow new developments in yacht design and charter operations, and strengthen the foundations behind our sailing products.

Discover the best moments from our 2025 Croatia sailing season – real wind sailing, hidden bays, island adventures, food, wine and unforgettable catamaran holidays.
Discover Hvar beyond the usual highlights. Our insider travel guide covers towns, UNESCO landscapes and sailing hidden bays around the island.
Surrounded by the world’s leading yacht charter companies, brokers, fleet operators, and industry innovators, this event was the perfect place to learn, connect, and showcase what makes our Croatia sailing programs truly unique.
Sailing around Hvar isn’t just about finding quiet coves. It’s about seeing a coastline that most travelers never reach. After years of exploring these waters, we’ve learned which bays stay empty even in peak summer, which villages welcome sailors with homemade wine, and which narrow channels turn a simple sail into a moment you’ll talk about for years.
This guide takes you to the Hvar we know – the one hidden beyond the crowds and the postcards.
If Hvar Town is the island’s heartbeat, Stari Grad is its soul.
Founded by the Greeks in 384 BC, Stari Grad is one of Europe’s oldest towns and still feels like a living museum where the air smells like lavender, olive trees whisper old stories, and life moves at the kind of pace that makes you remember to breathe.
