What our customers ask about Boat Tours in Mediterranean
When is the best time to take a Mediterranean boat tour?
The Mediterranean sailing season reaches its peak from June through September when conditions are most favorable. The warmest sailing comes in July and August with temperatures along Croatia's Dalmatian Coast reaching 85°F (29°C). These peak months bring reliable weather but also larger crowds and higher prices. For those seeking a quieter experience May and September offer an appealing alternative with mild temperatures and less-crowded ports. A TourRadar traveler noted about their August sailing: "We had perfect weather for swimming stops and the water was crystal clear and warm. The evening temperatures were ideal for dining al fresco on board."
What are the must-see highlights of a Mediterranean boat tour?
The Mediterranean's coastal highlights range from ancient wonders to natural splendors. Travelers can explore Dubrovnik's UNESCO-protected walls swim in Montenegro's hidden Dobra Luka bay and visit the classic Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Historic ports feature prominently including Split's Diocletian's Palace and the ruins of Ephesus near Kusadasi. Natural attractions like Montenegro's Bay of Kotor and Croatia's Mljet National Park add environmental diversity. A TourRadar traveler review of Intrepid's Montenegro sailing states: "The combination of stunning coastline historic towns like Kotor and Perast and crystal-clear swimming spots made every day memorable."
What's typically included in the meals on Mediterranean boat tours?
Mediterranean boat tours generally provide half-board arrangements with daily breakfast and lunch while dinner varies between onboard dining and local restaurants. The menu focuses on regional specialties with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local ingredients. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The food was excellent authentically Croatian. We enjoyed fresh fish local wines and traditional dishes prepared by the onboard chef." Along Croatia's Dalmatian Coast passengers often enjoy fresh-caught fish pršut (prosciutto) and regional olive oils. Higher-end vessels such as Emerald Cruises include complimentary beverages throughout the day.
How much free time is typically available during port stops?
Port visits usually last 4-6 hours providing time for both guided excursions and independent exploration. The typical schedule includes morning sailing followed by afternoon port arrivals with evenings free for local dining and entertainment. Popular nightlife spots include Club Deep in Makarska and Hula Hula bar in Hvar. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We had plenty of time to explore each destination from walking Dubrovnik's walls to swimming at hidden beaches. Though I would have liked more swimming time in some locations."
How many passengers are typically on Mediterranean Boat tours?
Vessel size varies significantly across Mediterranean boat tours. Premium operators like Emerald Cruises carry approximately 100 passengers with 72 crew members ensuring attentive service. The more intimate sailing vessels particularly along Croatian routes typically accommodate 30-40 passengers. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The smaller group size made the experience more intimate and allowed us to visit secluded bays that larger ships couldn't access."
How much time is spent sailing versus exploring ports?
Mediterranean itineraries typically include 2-4 hours of morning sailing followed by afternoon swim stops and port arrivals. Montenegro routes average 4-5 hours of daily sailing while Greek Island itineraries may require longer passages between destinations. The schedule allows for both active sailing and thorough port exploration. A TourRadar traveler shares: "Our Croatia sailing had perfect mix - morning cruising with swimming breaks then plenty of time to explore amazing coastal towns like Hvar and Korčula in the afternoons and evenings."
