In June in Croatia you can have it all: sailing, cruises, swimming, culture plus all sorts of outdoor activities. It is my preferred time to visit Croatia.

The tourist season is well underway in Dubrovnik (where you should have an advance reservation) but just getting started in other coastal and island destinations. You're before the summer tourist crush but everything is open for business. Croatian local and international ferries are on their summer schedules making it easier to get to Croatia's islands. The weather makes June an excellent month to enjoy the outdoors and there are also some lively festivals.
