We're not saying you should sail around the Croatian islands and taste the indigenous wine varieties on each of them like its the summer of 2016 and they're Pokémon...

With the launch of Total Croatia Sailing on June 1^st, 2017, we are beginning a new series – ‘Characters of the Sea’. After years working on the Adriatic, it became apparent to me that there are so many unique characters, who all have incredible tales to tell. From Salty-Seadogs, to deep-sea divers, fishermen and families at sea… the Adriatic is over-flowing with history, tradition and stories waiting to be told. So, first up, meet Dando Bojić – a man with a lifetime dedication to the sea.

One of the most obvious associations with the island of Korčula, right up there with Marco Polo, is the Moreška dance. If you are sailing the Adriatic Coast, this is one thing you will want to add to your itinerary.

Korčula is one of the Croatian islands closest to the mainland – at least on one side, as it is a mere 10-minute ferry or boat ride away from the port of Orebić on Pelješac peninsula. In the past few years, there have been numerous changes in the schedules of different ferries, catamarans, boats etc. which can take you to and from Korčula.

The summer season is fast approaching and the foreign media keeps showering Croatia with praise

Total Croatia Sailing is the latest addition to the Total Croatia News family. As part of this site, we look forward to bringing you the latest news from the Adriatic, including how to get around. Kicking off with this, one of the most frequently asked questions - how to get from Split to the islands!

On Vis, one of the most distant Croatian islands, throughout history fishing was the most important way to make a living for the people on the island.

Could a Croatian sailing ship make it into the Guinness Book of World Records?
