Sailing Route (7-Day Detailed Itinerary)

Sailing Route: This is the ultimate all-inclusive 7-day Croatia sailing itinerary, covering some of the country’s most breathtaking destinations and cultural highlights. Designed with flexibility for weather and focused on remote, crowd-free locations, it ensures guests enjoy the very best of the Adriatic. Explore the detailed day-by-day route itinerary to see what awaits.

Day 1: Sailing Begins – South Kornati National Park Odyssey (Early Check-In & Smokvica Sunset Wine Moments)

Attractions:Tribunj Marina | Kornati National Park | Wow moment at Smokvica bay
Inclusions: Lunch | Swim stops | Relax time
Sailing Time:2-3h / 13.5 NM

What to expect:Start your unforgettable sailing journey in the charming village of Tribunj, where a short safety orientation ensures a comfortable and secure experience before setting sail.

Your sailing adventure begins on Saturday at 1:00 PM in Tribunj Marina, where you’ll meet your crew, settle into your private cabin, and enjoy your first freshly prepared lunch on board. After a short briefing, we set sail toward the tiny island of Smokvica, tucked within the Kornati National Park archipelago.

This gentle first sail is the perfect introduction to life at sea — with swim stops along the way and relaxed conversations about sailing basics, navigation, and the Adriatic way of life. As the late afternoon sun softens, we’ll reach Smokvica, a hidden gem accessible only by sailing yacht, offering pure serenity and untouched nature.

Smokvica Island, tucked deep within the Kornati National Park, offers a glimpse of the Adriatic at its most authentic. With no permanent settlement and only a handful of traditional stone houses, the island preserves the timeless rhythm of local life once centered on fishing, sheep herding, and olive growing.

Today, Smokvica remains a tranquil haven, where family-run konobas serve freshly caught seafood and local wine to visiting sailors. Its quiet coves, rustic trails, and unspoiled landscapes make it one of the most intimate places to experience the simplicity and charm of island living in the Kornati archipelago.

Before dinner, stretch your legs with a short sunset hike to the island’s viewpoint. The panorama of the Kornati archipelago, bathed in golden evening light, is an unforgettable sight and the ideal start to your journey.

Dinner will be at a traditional Dalmatian konoba, a tiny seaside tavern where the day’s freshest catch is prepared right before your eyes in authentic island style.

With no modern marinas in the park, sailing boats usually dock at family-run waterfront konobas, where the courtesy is to enjoy dinner at their restaurant. These simple, welcoming taverns serve freshly caught seafood, olive oil, and local wine, continuing traditions rooted in fishing, sheep herding, and olive growing.

Your first day perfectly balances sailing, swimming, hiking, and exceptional local cuisine, easing you into the rhythm of island life.

WOW MOMENTS

Sunset Wine

In the late afternoon, just before dinner, your host will guide you on a short walk to the top of Smokvica’s hill, where a breathtaking panorama of the Kornati archipelago opens before you. There, with the islands bathed in golden light, we’ll share a glass of carefully selected Croatian wine — a serene, unforgettable moment to mark the beginning of your sailing journey.

Star Gazing

One of the most magical moments in Smokvica comes after dinner, when the bay falls completely silent and darkness sets in. With no electricity and no light pollution, the night sky above the Kornati archipelago reveals itself in breathtaking clarity. Billions of stars shimmer overhead, the Milky Way stretches across the horizon, and the only sounds are the gentle lapping of the sea against the boat. Stargazing here is a truly unforgettable experience — a rare chance to feel the pure, unspoiled beauty of nature in its most awe-inspiring form.

Day 2: Sailing the North Kornati Archipelago (From Lojena’s Beach & Turquoise Waters to Sali’s Island Vibes)

What to expect:The day begins with a personalized breakfast on board, tailored to your preferences and served with a view of Smokvica’s serene bay.

After a refreshing morning swim, we set sail toward the charming island town of Sali, passing through some of the most beautiful stretches of the Kornati National Park archipelago.

Along the way, we’ll enjoy several swim and snorkel stops, with the highlight being a visit to the stunning Lojena Beach — often described as the jewel of the Kornati Islands, where soft white pebbles meet crystal-clear turquoise waters. It’s the perfect spot for a longer swim, paddleboarding, or simply floating in pure Adriatic bliss.

By early afternoon, your host prepares a freshly cooked, home-style lunch on board, always tailored to the needs of our guests. Whether you have dietary preferences, restrictions, or allergies, our menu is thoughtfully adjusted to ensure everyone enjoys a nourishing and delicious meal. Served in the open air with the Adriatic all around you, it’s a relaxed dinning experience that perfectly complements life at sea.

In the late afternoon, we arrive at Sali, a lively yet laid-back town on Dugi Otok, where colorful streets, friendly locals, and authentic island charm await.

The evening is yours to enjoy — whether it’s savoring local seafood at a cozy konoba, listening to live music, sipping rakija in a tavern, or simply strolling through Sali’s vibrant streets.

It’s a perfect balance of sailing, natural beauty, and island culture — showing you the very best of both Kornati’s hidden bays and the Adriatic’s lively coastal life.

Day 3: Secrets of Dugi Otok (From Remote Island Bays & Submarine Tunnels to Sunset Picnics at the Lighthouse)

What to expect:The morning begins with a relaxed breakfast on board in Sali, before we set sail along the western coast of Dugi Otok, with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in the hidden island bays of Rava and Veli Iž. Sailing through this stretch of the Adriatic is all about slowing down and enjoying the wild, unspoiled beauty of Croatia’s remote islands.

In the early afternoon, your host serves a freshly prepared home-style lunch on board, giving you a true taste of the Adriatic lifestyle. After lunch, we’ll continue north and stop at the abandoned Yugoslav submarine shelters, impressive naval tunnels carved into the cliffs during the Cold War. Today, they stand as haunting relics of history — and a rare, fascinating sight to explore from the deck of your catamaran.

By late afternoon, we reach Veli Rat, home of the iconic Punta Bjanca Lighthouse. Built in 1849, it is the tallest lighthouse on the Adriatic at 42 meters, guiding sailors for more than 170 years. Guests who wish may climb to the top for panoramic views stretching across the Kornati archipelago and beyond. The surrounding coves and beaches are perfect for a refreshing swim before the evening settles in.

The bike ride from Veli Rat Marina to the Punta Bjanca Lighthouse is a gentle and scenic adventure, following mostly flat terrain that makes it easy and enjoyable for all levels of riders. The route winds through fragrant pine forests and quiet coastal roads, with the sea often glimmering just beside you.

It takes about 20–30 minutes each way at a relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos or refreshments. Along the way, we can pause at a local beach bar for a refreshing cocktail, and for those who wish to extend the ride, there’s the option to continue to the famous Sakarun Beach.

Famous for its dazzling turquoise waters and fine white sand, Sakarun Beach is often called the Caribbean of the Adriatic. Sheltered by pine forests and stretching nearly a kilometer, it offers shallow, crystal-clear seas perfect for swimming and relaxing. Despite its beauty, Sakarun retains a laid-back, natural vibe, making it an unforgettable stop for those who choose to extend the bike ride.

Our wow moment of the day is a sunset picnic by the lighthouse, complete with chilled prosecco and small local snacks, enjoyed as the horizon glows gold and red. On the way to the lighthouse, we may also stop for cocktails at a relaxed local beach bar, and for those eager for more biking, there’s the option to extend the ride to the famous Sakarun Beach, known for its white sand and turquoise waters.

The evening is yours to enjoy, with time to relax ashore and savor a dinner in Veli Rat at your own pace.

WOW MOMENTS

Sunset Biking to Veli Rat Lighthouse

As the afternoon light softens, guests set out on a gentle bike ride through pine forests and coastal trails toward the majestic Veli Rat Lighthouse, the tallest on the Adriatic. The route is mostly flat and peaceful, filled with the scent of the sea and pine trees. Reaching the lighthouse just as the sun begins to set, the horizon glows in gold and crimson — a perfect, slow-motion moment of Adriatic magic.

Beach Bar Cocktails on Dugi Otok

On the way to the lighthouse, we’ll pause at one of Dugi Otok’s charming beach bars, hidden between pine trees and overlooking turquoise waters. Guests can sip refreshing island cocktails or a chilled glass of local wine with their feet in the sand, the sound of gentle waves setting the rhythm. It’s the perfect prelude to the sunset — a taste of island life at its most relaxed and joyful.

Hanging Chair Sunset at Veli Rat

At the lighthouse, one of Dugi Otok’s hidden treasures awaits — a large hanging chair suspended from a seaside tree, overlooking the open sea. Here, with a glass of chilled rosé or prosecco in hand, guests can relax and watch the sun sink below the horizon in complete silence. The view, the colors, and the calm create a moment of pure bliss — one that every sailor remembers long after the journey ends.

Day 4: Sail along Dugi Otok’s Wild West Coast to Telašćica Nature Park (Shipwrecks, Sea Caves & Towering Cliffs)

What to Expect:The day begins with a hearty home-style breakfast on board, before we sail to one of Dugi Otok’s most fascinating sights — the sunken shipwreck of the Michele. Resting in shallow waters at the island’s northern tip, this abandoned merchant vessel is easily visible from the surface and has become a haven for marine life. It’s a fantastic spot for swimming, snorkeling, and capturing unforgettable photos of this unique underwater attraction.

From here, we’ll sail past the towering Veli Rat Lighthouse and along the wild western coast of Dugi Otok, with its turquoise bays and pine-covered cliffs. After gliding past the famous Sakarun Beach, we arrive at the spectacular Golubinka Sea Cave.

Accessible only from the sea, we’ll enter by swimming or paddleboard, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and shimmering light beams reflecting off the cave’s walls — an unforgettable Adriatic experience.

Just beside the cave lies another natural wonder — the mysterious Dragon’s Eye (Zmajevo Oko), a circular sea hole carved into the cliffs by centuries of erosion. From above, it looks like a giant eye gazing at the sky, while below it connects to the sea through hidden channels. Adventurous swimmers can dive into its emerald waters for an exhilarating experience, or simply admire this rare geological formation from the cliffs above. Together with Golubinka, it forms one of the most unique coastal landscapes in the Adriatic.

Following this adventure, we’ll anchor in a quiet bay to enjoy a freshly prepared home-style lunch on board, taking a moment to relax after an action-filled morning. In the late afternoon, we continue sailing south towards the breathtaking Telašćica Nature Park.

Once docked, guests can explore Lake Mir, a saltwater lake nestled within the park, or admire the towering cliffs of western Dugi Otok, some rising over 150 meters directly from the sea.

For those with an adventurous spirit, the evening offers the chance to explore more of Telašćica on foot. A scenic trail leads past the tranquil saltwater Lake Mir toward the dramatic Kamene Skulpture, where wind and waves have carved surreal stone shapes along the cliffs. Continuing further, the path reaches the secluded Lojisce Beach, a perfect spot to soak up the last light of the day and reflect on your island adventure.

This is one of the longer sailing days of the week, but also one of the most rewarding — filled with history, nature, adventure, and incredible island scenery.

The late evening is yours to enjoy at leisure, with dinner ashore inside Telašćica Nature Park.

WOW MOMENTS

Swimming into the Golubinka cave

One of the most unforgettable moments of the entire 7-day sailing adventure is the chance to swim into the Golubinka Sea Cave on Dugi Otok. Guests can enter by swimming, with swim vests, or gliding in on paddleboards — while the catamaran waits just outside in the turquoise bay. Inside, sunlight filters through an underwater opening, creating an ethereal blue glow that dances on the cave walls. With few visitors and total tranquility, it’s a raw and authentic Adriatic experience — a hidden wonder that leaves every sailor in awe.

Snorkeling the Michelle boat wreckage

Another unforgettable highlight of the sail is the chance to snorkel above the sunken ship Michele, resting just below the surface near the northern tip of Dugi Otok. Crystal-clear waters reveal the outline of the wreck, now home to colorful marine life and coral growth. Whether you’re snorkeling or simply floating above, the view is mesmerizing — a perfect blend of history, nature, and underwater beauty. With calm seas, few crowds, and your catamaran anchored nearby, it’s one of those moments where time seems to stop — pure Adriatic magic beneath the waves.

Day 5: Sailing Kornati’s Southern Isles: Kornat, Žut & the Coral Island of Zlarin (Crystal Bays, Lunch at Sea & Island Charm)

What to Expect:After a leisurely breakfast on board, we set sail southward on a spectacular route that carries us deeper into the heart of the Kornati archipelago. Our morning passage takes us alongside Kornat Island, the largest in the park and the very symbol of this unique seascape, followed by the rugged beauty of Žut Island, famous for its maze of coves and untouched coastline.

Sailing here is a pure joy — with the Adriatic winds filling our sails and dramatic island silhouettes unfolding in every direction. This stretch of the Kornati is where the sea feels endless and the scenery truly unforgettable.

By midday, we drop anchor in the crystal-clear waters between Kaprije and Kakan, two small islands known for their tranquil bays and relaxed rhythm of life. This spot is a true paradise for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding, or simply floating in the turquoise calm.

While you enjoy the water, your host will prepare a freshly cooked home-style lunch on board, using local ingredients and tailored to guests’ preferences — the perfect complement to this blissful Adriatic pause.

In the afternoon, we continue our island-hopping journey towards Zlarin, one of the most enchanting islands of the Šibenik archipelago. Known as the “coral island” for its centuries-old tradition of coral harvesting and jewelry-making, Zlarin offers an authentic glimpse into island life, with car-free streets, welcoming locals, and a slower pace that feels like stepping back in time.

Once docked, you’ll have the chance to explore the village, discover its artisanal shops, and later enjoy dinner in one of its inviting seaside konobas. Funky Tours crew will make sure to recommend you the best local restaurants.

WOW MOMENTS

Discovering the Red Coral Heritage of Zlarin Island

Among the many highlights of our 7-day sailing adventure is a visit to Zlarin Island, known as the “Island of Red Coral.” For centuries, Zlarin’s skilled artisans have harvested and crafted the precious Adriatic red coral into fine jewelry, a tradition deeply woven into the island’s identity. During our stop here, guests can visit the Coral Museum to learn about this fascinating craft, stroll the car-free stone streets, and meet local artists who continue this heritage by hand. It’s a beautiful blend of culture, history, and island charm — a truly unique experience that connects you to the living traditions of Dalmatia.

Anchoring at the hidden bay near Kaprije island

Few experiences capture the essence of sailing like anchoring in a secluded turquoise bay off Kaprije Island. Surrounded by pine-covered hills and the gentle sounds of the sea, this tranquil haven offers the perfect pause in your journey. As the catamaran settles into the calm, guests can dive straight into crystal-clear water, paddle around the bay, or simply relax on deck with a glass of wine in hand. With no crowds and no noise — just nature and the sea — it’s one of those quiet, unforgettable Adriatic moments where everything slows down and life feels perfectly balanced.

Day 6: Sailing Šibenik’s Archipelago & Krka River Canal to Skradin (Obonjan Beaches, Oyster Tasting & Krka National Park Waterfall Wonders)

What to Expect:After a relaxed breakfast on board, we sail out of Zlarin and into a region dotted with small, picturesque islands — Zmajan, Obonjan, and Žirje. Our morning is filled with island-hopping and swim stops, with the highlight being the turquoise waters of Obonjan Island, home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. Here, you can swim, snorkel, or simply unwind in this stunning Adriatic setting.

By early afternoon, we begin our journey into the majestic Krka Canal, a narrow passage that winds inland toward the town of Skradin. Along the way, we’ll pass the historic city of Šibenik, with its UNESCO-listed cathedral rising proudly above the waterfront.

Before reaching Skradin, we’ll stop in Prukljan Lake for a refreshing swim and a freshly prepared home-style lunch on board. Guests who wish can also enjoy a local oyster tasting, savoring one of Dalmatia’s most prized delicacies straight from the source.

The sail through the Krka Canal is one of the most breathtaking stretches of the journey — a blend of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and serene inland waters. By late afternoon, we’ll dock in Skradin, the charming gateway to Krka National Park.

From here, you’ll step into one of Croatia’s greatest natural treasures. Krka National Park is famed for its series of cascading waterfalls, emerald pools, and lush river landscapes. Guests may choose to bike along scenic trails, wander through shaded pathways, or take a short boat ride to the spectacular Skradinski Buk waterfall, the park’s crown jewel.

The roar of rushing water, combined with the greenery and wildlife, makes this a truly immersive experience in nature.

As evening falls, Skradin itself invites exploration. With its colorful stone houses, riverside setting, and vibrant dining scene, it’s the perfect place to enjoy dinner at leisure in one of the town’s many inviting konobas or wine bars.

WOW MOMENTS

Krka National Park

One of the grand highlights of your 7-day sailing journey is the visit to Krka National Park, where the Krka River carves its way through lush canyons and cascades into a series of breathtaking waterfalls. From the charming town of Skradin, guests can explore the park by foot, bike, or boat — following wooden paths that wind through emerald pools and roaring falls. The scent of pine and fresh water fills the air, and every turn reveals a new view more beautiful than the last. It’s a day of pure connection with nature — the perfect harmony between sailing and inland adventure that makes this journey truly unforgettable.

Cruise the Krka Canal

Cruising the Krka River Canal is one of the most enchanting moments of the entire sailing journey. As the catamaran slowly makes its way inland, steep limestone cliffs rise dramatically on both sides, mirrored perfectly in the calm emerald water. The air is filled with the scent of pine and salt, and the only sounds are the gentle hum of the boat and the echo of distant church bells from Šibenik. This peaceful passage feels like sailing through a hidden world — a breathtaking transition from the open Adriatic into the serene beauty of Croatia’s river landscapes.

Tasting Krka Oysters

A delicious surprise awaits as we enter the Krka River estuary — the chance to taste fresh Krka oysters, cultivated in the clean, mineral-rich waters where the river meets the sea. These oysters are renowned for their delicate flavor and natural sweetness, reflecting the purity of the environment they grow in. Served simply with a few drops of lemon and a glass of local white wine, it’s a quintessential Dalmatian experience — fresh, authentic, and unforgettable, connecting you to the sea in the most delicious way possible.

Captains Dinner in Skradin

As the sun dips behind the Krka hills and the river quiets into evening stillness, we gather for a special Captain’s Dinner in Skradin — a cherished tradition that marks the heart of our sailing journey. The menu, inspired by local heritage, features freshly harvested shells from nearby farms, prepared in the authentic Skradin way — slow-cooked, simple, and rich in flavor. The exact recipe is a well-kept secret among local families, passed down through generations. With soft music, laughter, and a glass of Dalmatian wine in hand, this dinner feels almost timeless — a celebration of sea, land, and shared moments beneath the starlit river sky.

Day 7: From Waterfalls to the Sea (UNESCO Šibenik, Prvić Villages & Adriatic Farewell)

Destination:Šibenik city walk | Prvić island | Tribunj marina
Inclusions:Swim stops | Relax time
Sailing Time:2h / 14 NM

What to Expect:The final day begins with a relaxed breakfast on board in Skradin before we make our way back down the Krka River Canal, retracing this stunning inland waterway toward the open Adriatic.

Our first highlight is a stop in Šibenik, one of Croatia’s most fascinating coastal towns. Here we enjoy a 2-hour guided exploration through its maze of medieval streets, visiting iconic landmarks such as the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James and the city’s impressive stone fortresses. Along the way, you’ll uncover Šibenik’s rich cultural history, its Venetian influences, and its more recent claim to fame as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

After Šibenik, we sail back into the archipelago, gliding past the islands of Prvić and Tijat. A refreshing swim stop and home-style lunch on board awaits, offering one last taste of Adriatic bliss.

Prvić Island is often called the “island of artists and inventors.” With no cars and only two small villages, Prvić feels like stepping back in time. In Prvić Luka, the waterfront is lined with stone houses, small chapels, and cozy taverns, while in Prvić Šepurine narrow alleys that wind up from the sea, offer glimpses of everyday island life untouched by mass tourism. Swim stop by the Prvić island is a must.

Prvić is also home to the Faust Vrančić Memorial Center, dedicated to the famous Croatian inventor of the parachute, adding a fascinating cultural dimension to this quiet island.

By late afternoon, we set our final course back to Tribunj Marina, arriving around 6:00 PM. It’s the perfect conclusion to a week of sailing — a journey that combined national parks, remote islands, cultural gems, and unforgettable Adriatic memories.

WOW MOMENTS

Wander its narrow stone streets and discover the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, an architectural masterpiece built entirely from stone. Explore ancient fortresses, charming squares, and hidden courtyards while learning about Šibenik’s rich maritime heritage and its recent fame as a Game of Thrones filming location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this sailing trip meant for?

This sailing adventure is designed for everyone — couples, families, small groups of friends, and even solo travelers. It’s ideal for those seeking to explore the natural beauty of Dalmatia, from the Kornati & Krka National Parks to remote islands of Dugi Otok and Zlarin, and cultural coastal towns.

What makes Funky Sails unique?

Unlike mass-market “party cruises,” our sailing focuses on authenticity, relaxation, and exploration. We specialize in small groups, intimate atmospheres, and personalized service. With no hidden costs, carefully crafted routes, and professional crew, this is a sailing experience that combines national parks, hidden bays, cultural gems, and local traditions — all in comfort and style.

What is included in this sailing trip?

Our all-inclusive package covers:

Professional skipper & host/chef (experienced, licensed, and local experts).
6 breakfasts + 7 freshly prepared lunches + 1 Captains dinner on board.
Drinks with meals: coffee, tea, milk, or juices at breakfast; one or two glasses of wine, beer, rosé, or soda at lunch.
Unlimited water available at all times.
Fuel, marina & buoy fees, national park entrances, cleaning, insurance, transit fees, taxes & VAT.
Snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboard (SUP), inflatables and motor dinghy.
Towels & bed linen.
Complimentary one-way transfer from Split or Zadar airport/city to Tribunj Marina.

What’s not included?

Dinners (enjoyed ashore in local towns and villages).
Alcoholic and soft drinks beyond those included with meals (guests may bring their own).
Optional activities (wine tastings, oyster farms, scuba diving, etc.).
Personal travel insurance & tips.

Is there a special dinner included?

Yes — on Day 6, we host a festive Captain’s Dinner on board, where the group gathers for a celebratory evening of food, drinks, and stories, marking your sailing adventure before the final day.

What are the start and end times of the sail?

Start: Early check-in at 1:00 PM Saturday — unlike most charters that leave after 5 PM, giving you nearly a full extra day at sea.
End: Return to Tribunj Marina by 6:00 PM Friday.

How many people are on board?

Our catamaran hosts a maximum of 8 guests in 4 private en-suite AC cabins (plus 2 crew). This ensures a relaxed, small-group atmosphere — never crowded. (Private full-boat charters available for up to 12 persons.)

Is there a single supplement for solo travelers?

Yes. It is possible to book a private cabin for single use. Solo travelers are very welcome on our sailing trips, and we can provide a cabin exclusively for one person for an additional single supplement fee. This ensures full comfort and privacy while still enjoying the shared group sailing experience.

What are the cabins like?

Each guest cabin is a double en-suite with air-conditioning, private bathroom, comfortable bedding, and storage space. The salon and deck provide spacious shared areas for lounging and dining.

How much time will we spend sailing?

We take advantage of favorable wind conditions, sailing as much as possible for an authentic experience. Expect 3–5 hours of sailing daily, balanced with swim stops, island visits, and cultural explorations.

Where do we have dinner?

Dinners are enjoyed ashore in island villages, seaside towns, or family-run taverns (konobas). This gives guests the chance to experience authentic Dalmatian cuisine — from fresh seafood to traditional specialties — in their natural setting.

Can I bring my own drinks or snacks?

Yes — guests are welcome to bring their own snacks, soft drinks, or alcohol. Storage and fridge space are available on board.

What type of luggage should I bring?

Soft-sided luggage is recommended, as storage space is limited. Pack light — swimwear, casual clothes, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for island walks or biking. Hard suitcases are not ideal for catamarans.

Do I need personal travel insurance?

Yes. We strongly recommend comprehensive coverage that includes trip cancellation, medical expenses, personal liability, and lost property.

Are there any local payments I should know about?

The trip itself is fully covered. However, some remote island restaurants accept only cash (EUR), so it’s good to have some on hand for dinners ashore.

How do transfers work?

A complimentary one-way transfer from Split or Zadar airport/city to Tribunj Marina (approx. 1 hr) is included. Return transfers can be arranged on request.

When is the best time to sail?

The sailing season runs from May through October:

May/June & September/October: Mild weather, fewer crowds, great value.
July/August: Warmest seas, lively island towns, peak summer atmosphere.

Is this trip suitable for children?

The trip is perfect for children above 6 years, and teenagers too. For families with younger children, a private charter may be a better option.

What about seasickness?

Catamarans are very stable compared to monohull boats. Still, if you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend bringing medication as a precaution.

Who are the crew?

Our professional skippers bring years of experience and deep local knowledge of the Adriatic. Together with the onboard host/chef, they ensure safe navigation, delicious meals, and warm hospitality — making your journey as enriching as it is relaxing.

What is the booking and payment policy?

What is the cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation terms are designed to be fair and transparent:

More than 52 days before departure: Full refund of all payments made.
Between 52 and 30 days before departure: 30% of the total tour cost (deposit) will be retained.
Less than 30 days before departure: No refund is available, and 100% of the total trip cost will be charged.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to protect against unexpected cancellations or emergencies.
