Nautical activities on Krk: boating and sailing

Sail away… into an amazing adventure while on your holiday in a luxury villa on Krk! Boating gives you the opportunity to truly grasp how beautifully diverse the island is. And more than that. You can visit the neighboring islands as well and see why Kvarner Bay is such a great destination for nautical activities. 

Memorable boating experiences

Just the sea, sun and your boat! Enjoy the sense of freedom in the open sea, sail along beautiful coast and past charming towns, take a break in a quiet, secluded cove that can be accessed only by boat. Then go for a swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water, or sunbathe on the deck of the boat in absolute tranquility. 

Boating around Krk, you get to admire the lush Mediterranean greenery on the western coast of the island. To appreciate the fascinating towns such as Omišalj or Vrbnik on top of a cliff, or the historical walls and the Frankopan castle in Krk town, as you are approaching them from the sea. To stand in awe before the magnificent Krk Bridge as you are sailing underneath it. To discover hidden beaches on the eastern and southern side of the island, some of which with an impressive high cliff in the background… Simply feel inspired by the lovely diversity of landscapes.

Boating around Krk town

Nautical activities from Krk can also include sailing to nearby islands and islets in Kvarner Bay. Take your boat to the lovely islands of Cres and Lošinj, possibly even spot a few dolphins along the ride. Or you can enjoy the sight of the endangered species of griffon vulture as you stop by the island of Plavnik. Whether you visit other larger islands nearby such as Pag and Rab or anchor in a cove of a charming uninhabited island, you are in for a very special experience.
