Croatia · SAILING TRIPS IN ZADAR
Here are 8 sailing trips in Zadar that repay the slot, each with its price, its running time and who it suits. The first is first for a reason, so start there.
Sail the Zadar Channel in a small group of up to nine with an English-speaking skipper such as Petar or Ante. Stop for swimming and snorkeling near Ugljan, walk around Preko, then pass Zadar’s Sea Organ on the way back. Expect a relaxed pace, scenic views, and sailing time that depends on the wind.
“We had a great time and couldn't have asked for a friendlier skipper!”
Set out from Zadar at 9:00 am for an eight-hour sailing day around the archipelago. Your skipper may shape the route toward Ošljak or Ugljan, with time for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, island walks, and lunch at your own expense. Skippers including Sasha, Philip, Dario, Tino, and Alan have led this relaxed outing.
“The guide was incedibly nice (Saša) and informative. Unfotunatly, 3.5 of the 8 hours of the trip where "land breaks" and only one hour was acutal sailing. Maybe move lunch forward, so the afternoon, which is windy can be used for sailing. The land stops were beautiful, though not what we booked the tour form”
Set out from Bregdetti Street in Zadar with Antares Sailing for a private four-hour cruise for up to seven people. Laura and Toni help shape the day, while your skipper takes you toward Ošljak and Ugljan for swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing, and an optional lunch stop. Snorkel gear, fuel, and taxes are included.
“Our captain had many years of experience and took us to some lovely spots. She was very helpful with assisting one of our group who needed assistance entering and exiting the boat.”
Spend four private hours on the Adriatic with Antares Sailing, guided by skippers Laura or Tony. Pass Zadar’s Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun, then stop at Ošljak, Galevac, and Preko. The outing includes snorkeling gear, bottled water, and room to adjust the balance between swimming and sightseeing.
“Absolutely brilliant day. Laura was a fantastic host. We enjoyed every minute. I’d highly recommend this trip and this company. This was the highlight of our holiday to Croatia.”
Set out from Zadar with a professional skipper and up to six other guests. Choose a four-hour morning or afternoon sail, or a full day through the Zadar Channel to Ugljan and Ošljak. Swim, snorkel, fish, visit island villages, and leave time for lunch, coffee, or a walk. Food is not included.
“We booked a full-day tour and paid in advance. 1.5 hours before the agreed time, a WhatsApp came with the info that the skipper was in bed with a fever and the tour could be cancelled or taken as a half-day tour. Half of the amount paid would then be refunded. We did the tour, which was really nice, and we had a great replacement skipper. Let's see when the credit shows up on the bill. For all those who doubt: The tour is worth it, it's fun, and it's okay even as a half-day tour.”
Spend 8 flexible hours on a private sailboat from Zadar with skipper Sascha or Dario. Swim and snorkel in Ugljan’s clear bays, fish, visit Ošljak or local villages, stop for lunch, then sail back past Zadar’s old town. Food and drinks cost extra.
“Sasha was an excellent skipper, it was one of our best sailing trips ever. And the lunch on that fish restaurant, which Sasha recommended was simply perfect.”
Take a private four-hour sail from Zadar with up to eight people, choosing a morning or afternoon departure.
