What is a “Motor Sailor?”
The bay – port Krilo Jesenice that is the shelter of over 200 different types of motor sailors with the tradition of over 250 years old, this port is the mother and guardian of most of the people involved in Cruises in Croatia.
The quality of the ships is getting better and better with every generation. Owners from Krilo take huge proud in their ships, their business and their past and some of the ships that are being built in recent years are leaving everyone in awe.

Where can you cruise?
Most departures are from Trogir, Split and Dubrovnik and they cover the entire Adriatic region. You can find most of the routes for Croatia on this link.
With a special notion on the routes:
- Due to the size and speed, these boats can easily do Split – Dubrovnik – Split cruise in a single week
- Motorsailors cruise during the day, and spend the nights in Ports. You can also spend a night on anchor, but it is not very common.
Best time to Book
These ships get most of the booking form:
- Large tour operators that book them for the entire season and then sell them on a “cabin charter basis” for special groups like cycling, seniors, hiking, guided tours….
- Larger groups of 20 – 45 people, that book up to 1 year in advance.
The bottom line is, that it is very hard to get a free week on a private charter cruise on a “last-minute basis”, which in this case means booking made from January – June for the same season.
Most of the bookings for charter happen from March until December – FOR THE NEXT YEAR. So if you will wait until the last minute to get a better deal – you will probably get out empty-handed.
