My first week on a yacht in Croatia completely changed the way I think about travelling the Dalmatian Coast. I expected the scenery and swimming to be beautiful, but I did not expect a week onboard to feel so comfortable, varied or easy - no packing and unpacking, no repeated check-ins, and yet almost every day brought a completely different place and experience. What I loved most was the freedom: swimming in secluded coves one afternoon, hiking through a national park the next, then going ashore for wine, dinner or a lively evening in town. This was my route, but that is really the beauty of Croatia by yacht - the itinerary can be curated entirely around how you like to travel.
