Here are some suggestions to consider when packing for your sailing trip in Croatia.

LUGGAGE

Remember storage space onboard may be restricted so think about soft luggage which will be easy to transport and store. Bring a waterproof bag for day trips. Avoid bringing bulky items or unnecessary items. Bring a camera or smartphone with a waterproof case, chargers, and a power bank to keep your devices charged.

CLOTHING

Consider the climate and season when packing for your trip. In warmer months pack swimwear, sun protection and smart casual light clothing like shorts and resort wear. Pack something suitable for sightseeing and restaurants ashore. Also bring some layered clothes and a windbreaker so that you prepared for a change.

SHOES

Rubber soled shoes such as flip flops or non-slip soles provide comfort and grip. Leave the high heels for your outings off the boat.

FOOD AND DRINKS

Unless you have booked a full board charter, you will need to bring food and drinks onboard. You can expect a yacht and catamaran to be stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, glasses, plates, and food refrigeration.

Ideally you will bring food and drinks onboard with you at the start of your journey. A supermarket visit prior to your journey will often be cheaper and provide more variety than smaller (and often more expensive) mini markets on some of the islands. Another option is to pay for a food provision service to stock food and drinks onboard for you but make sure to organise this service in advance.

BED LINEN AND TOWELS

Unless otherwise stated, you can expect yachts and catamarans to have bed linen and towels onboard for you. For an additional cost, additional towels and beach towels can be provided from the charter company prior to your journey.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND MONEY

You will need valid travel documents such as a passport or EU ID card. The Euro is the official currency in Croatia. Visa and Mastercard are the preferred credit cards. Carry some cash for markets, coffees, and bakeries.
