What is the best time of year to charter a sailboat in Zadar?

Zadar has a Mediterranean climate which is characterised by hot summers and mild winters. The best time to get a sailboat rental in Zadar would be between May and October when temperatures are at their highest and precipitation levels, at their lowest. You’ll encounter the highest temperatures in July at 28°C but the summer time is when Zadar receives the majority of their tourists. If you want to avoid crowds and get better deals on boats, we’d recommend visiting in either May or September, at the tail ends of the high season.

Should I rent a sailboat in Zadar with or without a skipper?

At Oceans Evasion, we want to make sailing accessible to everyone, which is why we have sailboat rentals in Zadar both with or without a skipper. Even if you have a sailing licence we always recommend choosing a skippered option for a more relaxed and personalised holiday. Skippers will handle everything on the water such as navigating, docking and anchoring the vessel, so you don’t have to worry about anything. If you are an avid sailor and want to take the helm, no problem! Your skipper will guide you as much or as little as you like, and if you have no experience and want to learn a thing or two, they can teach you the basics.

But perhaps the best thing about having a skipper on board your Zadar sailboat charter is the fact that they are usually locals of the area and can give you recommendations about where to go and what to see. They can take you to the most sought-after sights in Zadar and even show you some places that only locals know about. For a customised and guided boat trip in Zadar, choose a skippered sailboat!

What should I consider before renting a sailboat in Zadar?

Sailboats are beautiful and fantastic vessels for getting the traditional sailing experience; they allow you to get in touch with the wind and the ebb and flow of the ocean. For avid sailors who yearn for an authentic sailing holiday, you can’t beat a sailboat! On the other hand, because of their tendency to sway on the water sailboats aren’t recommended for novice sailors since they can be challenging to navigate. In addition, if you are pregnant or prone to seasickness we wouldn’t recommend a sailboat as they are a bit more unstable than other types of vessels. No matter what type of boat you’re looking for, you’re sure to find the perfect one for your sailing trip in Zadar!
