Sailing Conditions

General Conditions

With blue skies, consistent warm weather and perfect sailing conditions, Croatia has long been a popular flotilla sailing vacation destination and our Kornati flotilla is no exception.

Throughout the cruising season, water temperatures average a comfortable 72 F (22 C). Winds are generally light and variable in the mornings, with perfect afternoon sailing wind often peaking up to 20 knots (23 mph) before dropping off again in the evening.

Early and late in the season, southerly and south-easterly winds are more variable. The tidal range is small, only 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm), and a Kornati sailing charter affords ample opportunity for gentle cruising in sheltered waters.  

Please be aware that skippers require a valid ICC (International Certificate of Competence), RYA Day Skipper Certificate or higher so if you do not have any of these, please visit our schools section to see how to qualify.
