About the sailing yacht

Our modern sailing yachts have every luxury you need to enjoy wonderful times on the water and are suitable for both coastal and offshore sailing. They are also perfect for a week-long cruise as well as for learning freediving, helping in sailing, practicing yoga and other workshops or just enjoy the trip and go for a swim. The boats we operate can accommodate up to 10 guests, yet our cruises welcome up to 6 participants for more comfort onboard. Whether you travel as a group, a family with children or alone, you can choose to either charter a cabin or a boat with us, we will then organize everything for you

With its classic, single hulled template, the monohull is the original sailboat. Designed with performance in mind, monohulls are the best choice whether the conditions are flat and calm or rough and wild. Each of the four spacious cabins includes a private head, plenty of storage and adequate head room. The contemporarily-styled sailboat comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests including crew. On deck, the sloping wraparound side decks allow for safe and seamless movement between the cockpit, foredeck and living spaces.

We’ll then sail out towards Milna, a nice fishermen settlement on the western side of the island of Brac. Stress-free day with some freediving lectures and dry training on the way and in the evening.

After a relaxed morning including stretching and breathing exercises, we will have a first freediving session practicing Dynamic and Static disciplines. In the afternoon, we will have our first open water session and then make our way farther south to Stari Grad, the oldest city in Croatia located on the island of Hvar. Alternatively, we can also enjoy the wonderful beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) for a swim.

Day 3 : Stari Grad – Hvar

After our morning freediving session, we will sail around Hvar, the longest island in the Adriatic Sea, towards Hvar town, with on the way a chance for a swim at the Pekleni Islands. The town is enchanting and exhibits a Renaissance cathedral, with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe. A favourite of world travellers, who especially appreciate the sunset from the hill overlooking Hvar port.

Day 4 : Hvar – Vis

On our possible only day off from freediving, we will head towards Vis island, the beauty of limpid waters and protected submarine world rich with sunken ships and magic marine images that has been hidden for years. Relax on secluded beaches of numerous peaceful bays, in transparent blue sea and under the hot sun of Vis. Possibility to visit an old WWII military tunnel and fortress and stay overnight nearby.

Second day on the island of Vis, we will dive around the southern town of Komiža. Morning wreck dive located ten meters below the surface and then to the nearby island Biševo to see amazingly beautiful natural treasures, the Blue and Green Caves. Lectures and workshops in the late afternoon, possibility to stay in Komiža port for the evening or the night.

Day 6 : Komiza – Maslinica

Morning freediving session around Komiza before sailing back up North towards Šolta, the island of olives, honey, and wine. The island still remains unspoiled by mass tourism and upon the visit, you will get the feeling that time has simply stopped there.
