The vessels we privately operate accommodate up to 38 guests and provide an incredibly intimate sailing experience for the English-speaking guests on board.

Our vessels visit a different island each day and guests get to enjoy swim stops in secluded bays and gourmet on-board dining on route.

Ports of Call

  • Dubrovnik 429 x 429

    Dubrovnik

    Dubrovnik has become one of the most popular destinations in the world. Its UNESCO-listed Old City is encircled by medieval walls with impressive towers, bastions, and casemates, whilst filled with many enchanting wonders. The limestone-paved streets are lined with magnificent baroque, gothic, and renaissance architecture, including one of the oldest still-active pharmacies in Europe, founded in 1317 AD. You can marvel at it all from above by walking the city walls, gazing over the red-tiled roofs on one side, with the sea and nearby islands on the other. You’ll find plenty of enticing spots to dine on traditional Croatian fare with a spectacular view as well.

  • Split 429 x 429

    Split

    Split is Croatia’s second-largest city and one that dates back to the late 3rd-century AD when Roman emperor Diocletian decided to build his retirement residence here. Today, Diocletian’s Palace is a massive complex with some of the most well-preserved Roman palatial architecture in the world.  Many of the centuries-old buildings now serve as world-class restaurants, wine bars, boutiques, art galleries, and museums. The waterfront Riva promenade is a popular place to be as well, ideal for people-watching with a glass of Croatian wine, while Marjan Hill nearby provides stunning views overlooking the city, the harbor, and colorful sunsets.

  • Hvar 429 x 429

    Hvar

    One of the most popular Croatian islands, Hvar has a cosmopolitan air, with a yacht-filled harbor revealing the many international jet setters who come to enjoy it. There are legendary beach bars, high-end restaurants, buzzing nightclubs, and an alluring historic center with medieval architecture. The interior includes vineyard-covered hills, endless lavender fields, and ancient hamlets, while the northern end is home to Stari Grad and Jelsa, providing a tranquil atmosphere and rich history to explore. This is also one of the sunniest islands in Europe, with relatively mild weather all year-round, although summer is the best time for sunbathing and swimming off the island’s beautiful beaches.

  • Korcula 429 x 429

    Korcula

    One of the most enchanting islands, Korcula is characterized by dense forest, sandy beaches, olive groves, and vineyards, but it may be most well known for its Old Town of Korcula. Surrounded by medieval stone walls with ramparts and towers, while the cobblestone streets are lined with Venetian buildings, it looks as if it came straight out of a storybook. It’s also the alleged birthplace of international explorer Marco Polo, with a museum where you can learn all about his history here and beyond. Along the narrow alleyways and cobbled streets are independent shops, galleries, and traditional tavernas that serve tasty local fare. 

  • Vis 429 x 429

    Vis

    Unspoiled Vis was closed off to the public for 40 years while used as a military base, leaving it wonderfully undeveloped. Known as the ‘Mediterranean as It Once Was,’ visitors can witness ruins of Roman baths, sip fine wines produced here in traditional wineries, and explore Vis Town, with well-preserved architecture. In the 19th-century Austrian fortress, you’ll find the Issa Archaeological Museum which showcases the most extensive collection of Hellenistic artifacts in the country. If you’ve seen the popular movie “Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again,” you might recognize the town as it was primarily shot here, in Komize and remote Barjoska beach.

  • Opatija 429 x 429

    Opatija

    Elegant Opatija is a seaside town on the Istrian Peninsula in northwest Croatia that boasts a backdrop of the Učka Mountains. It’s said to be the place where tourism began on the Croatian coast as a popular wellness resort in the 19th-century. It still has lots to love, like the Lungomare Promenade, which stretches for 7.4 miles bringing views of the sea and shoreline with lovely beaches on one side, and magnificent historic villas on the other. Angiolina Park is home to 150 species of plants from across the globe, including black bamboo, sequoias, bougainvillea, and Japanese bananas.
