and manages its four-member

fleet. Embark from Sibenik,

Dubrovnik, Split or Trogir.

Dream Yacht Charter, with

more than 900 boats in more

than 45 global destinations, in

spring 2018 added bases on the

Adriatic coast: in Pula, on the

Istrian peninsula of Croatia, and

in Kotor, Montenegro.

The Pula base is on the

southern tip of Istria, a hub

for sailing around the northern

Adriatic islands. DYC now

operates five bases along the

eastern Adriatic coastline in

the cities of Dubrovnik, Trogir,

Zaton (near Sibenik) and Pula.

Among the total of nearly 200

yachts in Croatia, the company

has expanded its catamaran fleet

to 45; new models include the

Lagoon 42 and 52, Bali 4.3 and

4.5, and Lagoon 450 S.

The Kotor base, Dream’s first

in Montenegro, is inside Boka

Kotorska Bay, a UNESCO-

protected region. For more

details, contact the company

(dreamyachtcharter.com).

EXPLORE THE

ADRIATIC

With vacation sailors from

North America increasingly

focusing on Croatia, a group

of charter companies in the

southeastern European country

have collaborated on promoting

the destination. And a global

company has opened a fourth

base there, as well as one in

nearby Montenegro.

The Mediterranean’s Adriatic

Sea presents one of the world’s

most beautiful coastlines, with

more than 1,100 miles of shore-

line and 1,200 islands and islets.

Hidden bays and anchorages, as

well as historic island towns, are

part of the attraction. Marinas

and ports provide mooring and

shelter; prevailing summer

winds are from the northwest.

Four European outfits

— Nautika Centar Nava

(navaboats.com), NCP & Mare

(ncp-charter.com), SunLife (sun

life.hr) and Adriatic Cruising

(adriatic-cruising.com) —

attend the U.S. Sailboat Show

in Annapolis each October to

present fleets and itineraries.

Look for them at this year’s

show too, waving the banner of

the Croatia Charter Experience.

Here’s what each offers:

Nautika Centar Nava was

founded as one of the first

privately owned companies in

the charter business in Croatia.

Bareboat and crewed charters

are its main activities. It also

offers all-inclusive vacations,

such as dive and sail, wine

tasting, big-game fishing and

adventure sailing.

NCP & Mare has more than

70 vessels; crewed and bareboat

monohulls, multihulls and luxury

motoryachts are available.

The fleet is situated at Marina

Mandalina in Sibenik, 10 min-

utes from the highway and 40

minutes from two international

airports in Split and Zadar.

SunLife Charter is a

family-owned company in Split,

Croatia. Founded in 2000, it

offers a mixed fleet, including

sailing monohulls and multi-

hulls, as well as motoryachts, for

bareboat and crewed charter.

Adriatic Cruising has special-

ized in luxury crewed holidays

aboard gulets and traditional

motorsailers on the Adriatic

coast since its inception in

2002. Adriatic Cruising owns
