Boat Charter Options for Summer 2019

Two adults and 4 kids....... I would consider a cat if some have never sailed before.

Croatia and Greece both have pros and cons. The Ionian is busier and harder to find places to moor, anchor or marina in the summer. But cheaper. Wind is more fickle. Generally too light to sail in the mornings and then can be overpowering (frightening for the inexperienced) in the afternoons

Croatia has many more options for anchoring, mooring and marina but does cost more.

Having sailed both areas I would suggest hiring a cat starting at Split. Loads of possible destinations.

As an aside, we moved our boat from Croatia to Menorca this year and to a stranger it looks like there are far fewer places to anchor off Menorca and Mallorca than Croatia - we've bought a Pilot but it's better on harbours than anchorages.

Would you recommend any local anchorage guide books - next year is all about exploring the islands and not using harbours too often?
