Croatia by boat gives you a different view of the islands: stone towns one day, a quiet bay the next, and lunch by the water when you feel like stopping. Vis, Hvar, Stari Grad, Korcula and Lastovo were the places that stayed with me from our trip.
Vis: Swim Stops and Seafood Lunches
Vis was one of my favorites. We explored the island and stopped by the water for sardines, calamari and wine. Leave room for that kind of unhurried lunch rather than filling every day with plans. A swimsuit under a cotton shirt, a hat and flat sandals are enough for most of the day.
Hvar and Stari Grad: Two Different Paces
Hvar brought a livelier feeling to the trip, with boats in the bay and places to stop for dinner. Stari Grad felt quieter. I loved walking its narrow streets and small squares, then finding a place to sit with a drink. Bring one dress that feels right for both, with a small bag that leaves your hands free.
Korcula: Stone Streets and the Waterfront
Korcula was another lovely stop for a walk through town and a meal by the water. On our trip we visited the place associated with Marco Polo and ate at Nonno’s. I would leave time to wander rather than make the town only a quick stop between sailings.
Lastovo: A Day to Swim and Relax
Our day on Lastovo was about swimming and slowing down. Clear water and a seaside lunch were enough. Keep the boat bag simple: swimwear, a dry layer, sunscreen and a refillable bottle, with shoes that work on deck and ashore.
What to Wear for Croatia by Boat
Mix a swimsuit and light shirt with tailored shorts or linen trousers, then add a dress for dinner. Flat sandals and a small crossbody are more useful in town than heels and a large tote. A soft knit is worth packing for the evening even when most of the trip is spent in swimwear.
