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 have just spent 15 days on a 15m-long sailboat between the islands of Croatia and we are delighted with this trip. Our skipper was Nicolas who we congratulate for his professionalism, his kindness, his availability, his seriousness and his humour.

I joined a freediving cruise in May 2022 in Southern Dalmatia. What a great experience! I was napping frequently for the first two days because I felt immersed into such a relaxing atmosphere that I just could not resist it. After “recharging” I was ready to dive and to sail and – I got it all.
I enjoyed sea life and sharing this experience with my fellow “crew-members”. I would love to do the freediving cruise again in the very near future.

I had an amazing time sailing in Croatia. We did everything that was listed on the website – sailing, freediving, island hopping, exploring old towns, doing some hikes. It was a nice combination – spending time at the sea, but also being able to do some walks, try local cuisine, visit medieval towns. Great time with cool people. Definitely would do it again!

Thank you Nicolas for your patience and kindness. We really had a great week discovering some of the islands of South Dalmatia with you. I wish you a good continuation and maybe see you soon for a next cruise.
