Sailing destination

Sailing with our experienced and reliable skippers means a care free holiday that includes sunbathing on the deck, swimming and snorkelling in the hidden, pristine coves and beaches and visiting the highlights of the Croatian and Mediterranean natural and historical heritage sites. Summer hotspots like Dubrovnik, the islands of Korčula, Hvar and Vis offer a mixture of original architecture, authentic gastronomy and a vibrant nightlife. Nature lovers would enjoy visiting parks and national parks alike, such as the Krka National Park in the hinterland of Šibenik, or The Kornati Archipelago National Park, Mljet National Park and the Lastovo Archipelago Natural Park.

Our crew do not follow those routes found in guide books but are prepared to tailor special routes both in the Croatian Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea to meet our customers’ requirements and suggestions.

Sailing with a skipper

Human resources have always been the foundation of any good business and we pride ourselves on our staff. Each and every of our yachts is maintained and managed by an experienced and skilful skipper. Their skills range from the art of sailing and the knowledge of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean seas to gastronomy and enology. The proof of their expertise are their RYA/MCA Yacht master certificates and thousands of miles under the keel covered in the Adriatic, the Mediterranean, Atlantic and the Caribbean.Chartering a crewed vessel is always a big advantage as it allows a care free holiday in the true sense of the word. Route planning, provisioning, logistics, boat handling and maintenance are not to be worried about as the skipper is the one being in charge of them all. Furthermore, the skippers are your trustworthy guides through the labyrinth of the local natural and cultural sightseeing, cuisine, local customs and nightlife. In case you show a special interest in sailing, our skippers are trained to provide education in sailing techniques and seamanship in general at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

Our skippers are passionate collectors of trophies displayed on the shelves which might be very attractive to those wishing to take part in a sailing competition.
