Croatia has eight distinct tourist regions:
- Istria
- Kvarner & Highlands
- Dalmatia – Zadar
- Dalmatia – Šibenik
- Dalmatia – Split
- Dalmatia – Dubrovnik
- Central Croatia
- Salvonia
Popular Croatia Yacht Charter areas are:
• Dalmatia – Zadar
The Zadar region is thenorthernmost part of Dalmatia, its gate of welcome to all those who travel from the north of the Adriatic. It is full of contrasts, rich in historic heritage and breathtakingly beautiful nature. The first, andtherefore perhaps the most intense experience of these parts, are the intense colours, that particular harmony of the vivid blue of the sea and over it the dark green of pine trees or olive groves that descend all the way to the shore. And to all that the brilliant white of the Dalmatian stone must be added – it forms the beaches either in slabs or broken down into gravel or pebbles, attracting numerous tourists.
• Dalmatia – Sibenik
Set amid the wild beauty of white karstic rock and the azure sea, the Šibenik aquatorium is a yachting paradise, boasting as many as 240 isles and reefs, each of which holds an interesting feature or two. If you want to meet the best known coral hunters in the Adriatic, set sail for Zlarin. If you wish to see the centre of sea sponge harvesting, then Krapanj is your destination. On the other hand, if you seek an experience like no other, then venture into the open sea and discover the Kornati Archipelago.
The Kornati National Park is an archipelago of 89 islands, isles and reefs (numbering in total 152units) of incomparable beauty which offers the boaters the pleasure of sailing, the formidable sheer cliffs filling them with delight and awe in the same breath.

• Dalmatia – Split
In the very heart of Dalmatia, in the bay of Aspalathos, Split is well protected from the sea by the islands of the Split archipelago.
• Dalmatia – Dubrovnik
Sitting at the southernmost part of Croatia, harbouring centuries of heritage created by the noble skills of the finest builders and artists, Dubrovnik basks in a warm Mediterranean climate with groves of lemon, orange and tangerine trees, sumptuous palms and agaves, adorned by Renaissance parks and the flowering gardens of medieval stone palaces and unobtrusive monasteries.
