First mistake is to join the yacht week if you are looking for piece and quiet. Also, there's hundreds if not thousands of Anchorages where you can be alone or with just a few boats in the bay. You just happen to went to the busiest places on the coast. If you need some recommendation just let me know and i will be happy to share some fantastic locations with you. I work as a yacht captain on the Croatian cost for the last 12 years. Cheers!
If you want peace and quiet....early June, or October. Weather still worm...and the see. And wast majority of tirists gone. I am local guy and boater. Miss 80's and 90's when things where different.
- July/August in the Med: it is super crowed everywhere - 8+ Billion people on our planet they all “wanna live the dream” - more and more wealthy people with big boats - holidays in Europe families with Charter boats fleeing from Northern parts of Europe. - choosing to be at a Festival place Just a few thoughts to consider… I am half Croatian and I am still missing the silent days during my youth in the 70’s then it was paradise to me. Those days are gone… This planet suffers from too many people and I am a part of them. But this is how life goes. Croatian is a country which is living from tourism and a quite short season. With these points taken you really can’t expect to be on your own in one of the most frequented vacation places. Try October perhaps? Really no pun intended just a few thoughts from an old man.
You are 100% correct ! We really loved croatia 🇭🇷 and intend to return many times in the future. We are originally from Brazil and the same happened there so I understand that those times are long gone. Thanks for your message. All the best.
@@SailingJoy I love Brazil too. I was quite a bit in Saō Paulo. (If you go in August, for example, to La Maddalena you don’t need a boat- you can jump across the many boats with dry feet) 😂 Try off season it’s not so warm but way more relaxed. Safe travels and have a great day!
sailed in Croatia for many years. Bora was a daily afternoon wind during summer.You could more or less time it 3.30-6PM something to consider as it stirs up the sea. And sometimes we had Scirocco, a hot 40 degrees desert wind, burning everything, but that was exceptional. IN general Croatia used to be nice to sail and do water skiing
2:24 minutes in and I must comment already, yeah the loud music in Croatia is out of control everybody thinks thinks they can do whatever they want without any regard to other people. All the party clubs are ruining the true beauty of Croatia. At my local spot in the Adriatic, Gajac there is incredibly loud noise from Zrce and an absolutely stupidly loud Party Boat that I wish would sink. The party boat can be heard over the crashing waves at the beach 10km away! Realistically it is affecting a much larger area because it moves from island to island. Zrce on the other hand is known to occasionally be heard over 20km away. If no one complains about it when they are disturbed it will only get worse and trust me I know very well how bad it can get. I encourage people to complain to the authorities about the noise. If you are disturbed by unreasonable groups of party people you can contact the Police, you have the right to enjoy your property or rented apartment in piece and should not be forcefully listening to other peoples garbage. Sorry for the harsh comment but the truth should be said.
Nice video. Perhaps try using some Croatian local background music from Dalmatia next time when showing Croatian coast. It will give it a much better and pristine feeling. A hint for a good start exploring it search for the Oliver Dragojevič songs.
Great video Ed and Patricia. Not sure I could handle a party for seven days either. Love to watch you both exploring new places. Stay safe my friends, boomer.
No thanks Marcel ! We experienced 100 knots of wind from a BURA at the marina in Montenegro and don’t want go thru that again even tought we were in a marina. If you have not seen that video please find below 👇 ruclips.net/video/AcvabHZEveg/видео.htmlsi=HuwkDiaW2_471262
I'm a local in Croatia and I know quite a bit of history. The water tunnels were indeed used to hide submarines in the former state of Yugoslavia. The former state was right on the border between the capitalist and the communist blocks during the cold war and thus had quite a big fleet of submarines. The island Vis and sections of Lastovo were completely militarised for decades, and the Yugoslavian government in Belgrade used the water bunkers on those islands to hide navy ships and subs. Today however anyone can freely dock their private boat in those tunnels and that includes the occasional private speedboat
Awesome answer. Thanks for sharing so others can have an even better sense of the story that happened in our near past. Super apprecited. All the best Ed
How about neither. It is a BURA or BORA ! The bora is a northerly to north-easterly katabatic wind in areas near the Adriatic Sea. Similar nomenclature is used for north-eastern winds in other littoral areas of eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea basins.
@@SailingJoybura it's croatian, burja it's slovenian. Burja or bura blows from the mainland to the sea and and indicates the arrival of good sunny weather.
@@SailingJoy the wind in this video did not look like 100 knots at all. Now the other video had a stronger bura. But even that is not that crazy. Bura can reach speeds of well above 150 knots. Buras danger is not only the windspeed but the whirlwind or fast change of wind directions. When there is really strong bura you cant even look over the water because of all the spray/foam. I have ridden my standup jetski in 80 knots of bura. But I was not alone and I really know the limits. My point is dont ever mess around with the real bura no one will come and save you. I wish you good sailing you two! Stay safe.
The Croatian coast has become incredibly expensive, my boat is therefore in Italy. Costs less that a third for the berth. Food is lightyears better, wine not to mention, and the arrogance of croats is sometime unbearable. Not all of course, but I have seen things you can't imagine and I speak the language fluently. The best to sail Croatia is to start from north and sail down the coast, just wait for the Maestral wind, comes around 1 pm from northwest and takes you down the coast, in one afternoon we made 45 sea miles with just the front sail, easy to handle as it builds up waves. Generally speaking, in the northern Adriatic the reaction time for Bura winds, a north easterly wind falling down from the dinaric alps, is three minutes, central Croatia half an hour and in the south you got three hours to safe your sails. Enjoy !
Pointing that Croats are arrogant is quite rough statment!! Everywhere in the world there are arrogant people! Would like to know where are you from,maybe I had same exp with your nation since I traveled all around the world.
Lets just make a statement that this comment comes from a Serb, they hate Croatia and Croats (hats down to normal ones that we welcome), which you all had chance to see trought this comment. And this is mild one, trust me. Although, its true that we are arrogant, but only for people like Dušan. Dušan, please, do a favour to yourself and us, make a sharp turn away or around Croatia. Cheers.

Give us the locations! 😃
@@ondrejhusar is there a particular part of the coast that you are interested in? It's quite a long coast and a lot of places from Zadar to Dubrovnik

Yes we spent early May and June in Croatia and enjoyed it. It was great.
- July/August in the Med: it is super crowed everywhere
- 8+ Billion people on our planet they all “wanna live the dream”
- more and more wealthy people with big boats
- holidays in Europe families with Charter boats fleeing from Northern parts of Europe.

Amazing cinematography, editing, with the entire episode full of exciting and breathtaking Croatia. Such BEAUTY!

That's not Bura, we call the summer daily afternoon wind Maestral, it's a pleasant and refreshing wind, much lighter than Bura

You are perfectly right, Marko.
Great video. I love the blend of different shots and walks, and it makes it feel like I am there. ❤

Wow that’s awesome. Exciting times ahead 👏👏👏
Love the channel Ed and Patricia!
Thanks Mike ! 🤩

Amazing vídeo! Fair winds
Thank you 🙏
Wow, thanks for yet another wonderful video guys! We just love all the information you give us. Safe sailing!
Thank you for being with us. All the best Ed and Patricia
Great video I enjoyed watching it!
Thank you so much Marko. Appreciated it.
Croatia has (absolutely) the most charter boats for a relatively small coast…
I have to agree with you ! Tons of it. All the best Ed
Excelente video.Belissima região ⚓⛵⚓⛵💙
Obrigado ! 🤩🤩🤩
The strong wind that blows on the Adriatic is not called Buddha, but Bora, local name "Bura".
Yes correct !!! Agree
the strong wind is BURA not Buddha
I agree ! ☝️
❤❤❤
Go to scedro if you want peace!
Thanks 🙏

@@SailingJoyword Bora doesn’t exist in Croatia
Wind is called bora or bura….and the island is called Hvar not Havar….
Ok
That was not a strong bura at all. You should look up how bura can be.
So 100 knots is not strong enough for You ? Well to us it is.
