Can You See Dolphins While Sailing in Croatia? Croatia's stunning coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic Sea are a dream for sailors. But imagine the thrill of spotting playful dolphins alongside your boat! So, the question is: can you encounter these charismatic creatures while sailing in Croatia? The answer is yes, there is a chance! The Adriatic Sea is home to several dolphin species, including: Bottlenose dolphins: These acrobatic dolphins are the most common in the Adriatic and are known for their playful jumps and friendly curiosity. Common dolphins: Smaller and faster than bottlenose dolphins, these dolphins travel in large pods and are often seen leaping out of the water. Dwarfe sperm whales: Not technically dolphins, but still fascinating to see, these small whales can sometimes be spotted in deeper waters. While dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed on any sailing trip, there are some factors that can increase your chances: Time of year: Spring and summer (May to September) see more dolphin activity in the Adriatic. Location: Areas with abundant fish, like around islands and underwater reefs, attract dolphins. Tour options: Some sailing trips in Croatia offer specifically designed dolphin-watching excursions. These trips often take you to areas with higher dolphin concentrations and may even involve experienced guides who can help you spot them. Here are some additional tips for spotting dolphins while sailing in Croatia: Keep an eye out! As you sail, be vigilant and scan the horizon for signs of movement, splashes, or fins breaking the surface. Bring binoculars. This will allow you to get a better look if you spot something in the distance. Listen for blowholes. Dolphins exhale through a blowhole on their back, which creates a distinctive puff of air and mist. Be patient and respectful. Dolphins are wild animals, so if you do spot them, enjoy the experience from afar and avoid disturbing them. Even if you don't encounter dolphins, a sailing trip in Croatia promises stunning scenery, charming towns, and unforgettable memories. But with a little planning and some luck, you might just get that magical moment of seeing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. https://croatia-sailing-family-holidays.com/sailing-in-croatia/sailing-in-croatia-with-dolphins/
With flat water and a steady 12 to 14 knots of breeze it is tackline up and get as deep as you can on the J109 Going to Red. The trimming of the kite in this short clip was perfect, with just a little bit of curl as the skipper pushes for depth at every opportunity. The team at bottom up boats hope you like this sort clip from the 2025 racing season on Stanford lough.
