Sailing around Croatia's rugged coastline with The Yacht Week isn't all prosecco and partying. From Split's beautiful mishmash of Roman, Venetian and Napoleon architecture, mast-clicking riva and Diocletian’s Palace, to Trogir's eclectic labyrinth of independent boutiques selling hand-carved olive wood wares and printed silk scarves, there's a plethora of pretty port towns to lose yourself in and soak up the local culture.
Wander the cobbled streets of Bol for some of the freshest food-market finds and deliciously sweet figs, or hit the rustic beauty of Vis to devour your body weight in gelato. Either way, don't forget your camera - The Yacht Week ensures you'll stop at some of Croatia's most scenic sun-drenched hotspots.
Prices start from about £500 per person for a 7-night stay and skipper. Bookings for 2019 open on 24 October. To find out more or to book, visit TheYachtWeek.com.
