]]> France is great, Spain is lovely, and you really can’t beat German weather in the fall, but if you’re in search of a somewhat less popular place to visit in Europe, Croatia should be at the top of your list. This country located along the Adriatic Sea is full of rich culture, fascinating historical sites, and otherworldly natural beauty.

If you plan to visit Croatia, here are a few experiences to put on your itinerary that we definitely recommend you don’t skip.

Go on a Sailing Excursion

The Adriatic Sea may be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Its clear blue waters are dotted with over 1,000 islands, and what better way could there possibly be to take in such sites than from a sailboat? There are plenty of companies like The Day Sail that offer one-day sailing excursions.

Visit Diocletian’s Palace

This ancient palace in the coastal town of Split was built for the Roman emperor in the fourth century AD and today constitutes about half of the town’s old city. Visitors can enter the palace for free, but tickets do need to be purchased in order to access certain buildings within it.

Explore Krka National Park

Anyone with an affinity for the great outdoors should be sure to visit Krka, a national park that boasts 7 waterfalls, fantastic hiking trails, and vistas worthy of a screensaver. We recommend getting tickets in advance, especially during the summer when the park is its most crowded.

]]> If you love sailing out on the open water, then you probably like to look for destinations where you’ll be able to indulge your boating hobby. Luckily, people have been using boats for millennia, so there are great places with boating opportunities all over the world. If you’re thinking about where to go on your next trip that will let you boat around, here are some of the best options.

Newport, Road Island

Boating is baked into the culture of Newport, whose harbor was the site of tons of boating history including the very first America’s Cup boat race in the 1930s. Today the area has jazz festivals, artisan stalls, fresh fish markets, and great restaurants as well as plenty of boating opportunities.

Cote d’Azur, France

The French Riviera, or Cote d’Azur, is known as one of the most beautiful spots in the world for well-off boat owners to spend time lounging and shopping. It’s the Mediterranean coast of France, and it’s home to such famous spots as Cannes and Monaco. There are plenty of events here and a place to park all manner of boats as well.

Society Islands, French Polynesia

Tahiti and Bora Bora are just two of the best-known Islands in this tropical archipelago, where you can boat around the area and snorkel to view wildlife and coral reefs. There’s also a yearly traditional boat race held by the native tribes of the area.

]]> While travel is slowly coming back to our lives there are still social distancing measures that need to be followed for many countries. If you want a vacation where you can let loose with your closest friends, and still enjoy the sun and the sand, book a yacht with The Yacht Week. 

The Yacht Week is hosted in a number of destinations throughout the year, amond them are Croatia, Greece, Sardinia, British Virgin Islands, and Montenegro. Sailors from around the globe head to their designated boat, with the crew of their choice (think your nearest and dearest friends).

From there, you and your crew sail from sun-soaked port to sun-soaked port. Along the way, you meet fellow sailors who are also a part of The Yacht Week. At night, the sailboats moor together in a flotilla and spend the evening cooking up delicious food, blasting great music, and simply enjoying life.

The Boats

Of course, you are probably wondering what the sailboats are like. They are top of the line vessels, and all of them feature private cabins, berths, and full bathrooms. Each boat is equipped with a skipper who will teach the crew how to sail, and if you already know how then it will be that much easier. A crew spot starts at $520 for the week, but there are special prices for crews who want to rent an entire yacht.

]]> With most of us looking for holidays where we can continue social distancing, renting a yacht may just be the perfect solution. In the British Virgin Islands, yacht charters are one of the most popular modes of travel for visitors looking to see the islands, and stay away from other tourists. 

Costs

If you’re ready to embark on your yachting adventure, BVI Charters, Dream Yacht Charters, and Virgin Charter Yachts all offer luxury power yachts and sailboats for the discerning adventurer. Chartering a yacht may sound expensive, but it all depends on the services included and the size of the boat. If you want a boat with a skipper and crew, you have to pay all of their wages for that time, which is factored into the cost per person, or per week. On top of that, all drinks and food may also be included, if you want to have your meals prepared and served to you. Expect to pay anywhere from $2,450 USD per person a week, up to $10,000+. It simply depends on the experience you want.

The Islands

With four big islands and a smattering of smaller ones, it can be hard to decide where to go. Each island offers white sand beaches for you to moor off of, and dive into the crystal clear waters. Check out Tortola when you first arrive and then chart your course with your skipper.

Croatia is becoming an increasingly popular destination. It offers miles of coastline for sailors to explore and numerous islands with exquisite beaches. Fishing is very popular in Croatia and if you fancy fishing, check out spots such as Elfati and Kornati.

The Grenadines are known as the Spice Islands and are made up of 32 individual islands. A popular yachting spot is Princess Margaret Beach. Experience friendly people, beautiful scenery and explore 60 miles of the magical South Caribbean.

Catalina Island, California has crystal clear water, allowing you to see shipwrecks and aquatic life beneath the surface. Two Harbors is a popular sailing spot where you can tie up your boat and visit the village for a meal.

French Polynesia consists of four individual groups of islands, spread across 70 miles of the South Pacific. Tropical lagoons teaming with life, waterfalls, black and white sandy beaches and volcanic peaks make this a truly special destination.

Here are a few things you can do there that will change your perception of the Emerald City. 

Sailing 

If you want to have a taste of sea life, you can always go sailing. If you want something classier, you can find racing yachts on Let’s Go Sailing. You can arrange a private tour or join a group trip. 

Pacific Science Center 

It may not sound very exciting, but you’d be sorry if you don’t see this architectural masterpiece. Designed in 1962 by Minoru Yamasaki, the science museum is the perfect place for every inventor, innovator and creative kid that just wants to know more. In addition, you can participate in some of its many interactive exhibits.  

Space Needle 

You can’t go to Seattle without visiting its most iconic landmark – the Space Needle. Just like the Science Center, it was designed in 1962 for the World’s Fair. You can go on the top of the Space Needle and enjoy an amazing view of the city.

]]> The U.S. has some spectacular sailing destinations. If you love the freedom and adventure of sailing, you may want to test out the following three locations.

Key West in Florida is well known for its coral reefs and clear blue water. This picturesque destination offers incredible sunsets and a chance to learn legends of hidden treasure and pirates.

See sea turtles, birds and dolphins as you sail from island to island. You may even choose to stay all-year round, living on your boat and enjoying the warm waters.

The constant changing of the wind makes sailing in Hawaii challenging. Many different winds whip around the islands but if you’re up to braving them, you will enjoy some breathtaking views when sailing in Maui, Hawaii.

You will have an opportunity to enjoy the warm sun and surf and your sailing skills are sure to be tested.

Sail away from the buzz of the city to the Channel Islands in California. Sailing to Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Anacapa or San Miguel is a popular activity for many sailing enthusiasts. You will experience golden sands, clear water, and pretty harbors.

You will have a chance to explore caves, see seals and whales and have an unforgettable sailing adventure.
