Croatia for families

Las Mejores Rutas de Croacia para Familias con Niños Pequeños

Si les interesan unas vacaciones en familia navegando por Croacia, sigan leyendo. Este es el mejor itinerario adaptado 100% para familias que tengan como prioridad el disfrute de sus hijos y su seguridad.

Ya saben lo que dicen...

Niños felices = Familia feliz

Please Note

Different things matter to different groups. What is incredibly important on a cruise for a group of active seniors is completely UNIMPORTANT to people going on a family sailing trip to Croatia with their small kids.

This is what we learned from our 20 years of experience in organizing sailing tours for different types of groups in Croatia.

But regarding family sailing, Goolets ensures a completely private and safe vacation where your kids will be happy and you will feel rested.

En resumen, la mayoría de grupos con niños pequeños salieron más contentos cuando:

Estos son los aspectos más importantes desde el punto de vista de los padres. Cuando hablamos con los dueños de los barcos, que tienen mucha experiencia, lo que dicen ser lo más importante es:

Cruise Distances should be shorter – Less Motoring

When the yacht is cruising from one destination to another, for parents it usually means reading a nice book, having a cold beer or just taking a nap. Forget about all that if you have children aboard (especially if they had some sugar for breakfast).

While a yacht is sailing children can do only 2 things:

  • Watch TV in the salon or on your computer in a cabin
  • Jump around the yacht and play

Both options are okay, however, you always need to keep an eye on what they are doing – which will mess up with your “beer” and “book” plans.

A whole other story when the yacht is moored

When the yacht is moored in a nice bay the options for kids become almost unlimited (swimming, snorkeling, jumping in the sea, kayaking to the beach, and playing with water sports).

An active and fun family sailing vacation in Croatia awaits

Cuantas más actividades hagan, más cansados estarán por la noche, y entonces podrán disfrutar los padres de una romántica velada.

Easy Go – Easy Stay

The itinerary should not be 100% SET IN STONE. It should be short and flexible. If the winds pick up or the weather gets bad that is not a problem. The yacht is always in safe places. The open seas are avoided. If you like to stay in one place for two days, you can stay there. If you wish to move to another place close by – you can.

 

A nice combination of beaches, towns, islands & interesting activities

The itinerary with children needs to make everyone happy.

  • Children need to be super active and happy during the day (lots of water sports options on board).
  • The route should have nice pebble beaches, where kids can play.
  • Extra activities are very welcome for all. Things like riding donkeys in Korčula, Jeep Safari on Hvar, or visiting the Aquarium and checking out amazing sea life on the first day make everyone happy.
  • In the evening you should be in nice safe easygoing towns, where you can take kids on a stroll, a shopping spree or leave them on a yacht to watch TV (the crew keeps an eye on them) and just have a nice trip alone with your spouse.

Ejemplo de una ruta perfecta con niños por Croacia

Day 1 (Saturday)

Port Vranjic near Split or Okrug Gornji Bay on peninsula Čiovo near Trogir. Both of these places are very close to Split Airport, around 30 minutes by car. We suggest Port Vranjic if you would be interested in checking out the famous Aquarium before departure. Port Okrug on the Island Čiovo is perfect if you stay there for the first day. It has amazing pebble beaches, it's easy-going and the kids LOVE IT.

Day 2 (Sunday) Spinut bay –  Nečujam Šolta

Island Šolta is also close. The nature there is amazing and it's very safe. Some good swimming and an easy walk around the town will prepare you nicely for your adventure.

Day 3 (Monday) Bay Blace & Bol

Bol is the most famous beach in Croatia and visiting it by yacht (where you avoid the crowds) is amazing and good for water sports. Both you and the kids will love it.

The sailing route is planned with your kids' safety in mind

Day 4  (Tuesday) Bol – Žukova Bay, Stari Grad

Lots of spots for swimming in Žukova bay during the day, and in the evening check out Starigrad town. Being less crowded is perfect for both parents and the kids.

Day 5 (Wednesday) Stari Grad – Vis, Hvar, Pakleni islands

Flexibility is key here because it all depends on the weather. If you wish to check out Hvar Town, the yacht will moor in Pakleni Islands. This will allow you to sleep in a nice secluded bay away from crowds. But it will also allow you to check Hvar Town (lots of options for daily trips here). You can also go to Island Vis, where you can visit the Military base, and go on a daily trip to the Blue Cave.

Day 6 (Thursday) Vis-Hvar-Vis

If the weather is good you can go around the Island Vis, or also check out more amazing beaches around Island Hvar. It is all about fun times with your family.

Day 7 (Friday) What do you wish to do?

For the last day before departure, we like to leave some space for clients' wishes. Here we ask the kids what they wish to do.

Day 8 (Saturday) Departure day

The trip ends after breakfast. If you have a late flight, you can go explore more of Split.

The crew should be children-friendly

They are not there to watch over your kids (you can rent a babysitter during the family trip for this) but if the crew likes the children, they will be more than happy to keep an eye on them while you go to town for a glass of wine alone with your wife/husband.
