WHAT TO EXPECT

The Dubrovnik Sailing Tour Getaway is designed for travellers who want to combine sailing, light adventure, and relaxation — without committing to a long cruise.

Each day blends smooth coastal sailing with optional activities such as stand‑up paddleboarding, cycling, swimming, and snorkelling. Distances are short, the pace is unhurried, and there’s always time to relax on deck or swim in secluded bays.

Your base for the journey is a modern sailing catamaran offering comfort, stability, and space. With a small group and an experienced local skipper, you’ll explore the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet National Park, and the Pelješac Peninsula while avoiding crowded routes and tourist hotspots.

 

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

  • Sailing made easy – No sailing experience is needed to enjoy this trip. Your professional skipper takes care of navigation, safety, and daily planning, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the journey.
  • Small‑group atmosphere – With a maximum of just 10 guests on board, this sailing tour feels personal and relaxed. Small groups also mean flexible plans and access to quieter bays and islands.
  • Car‑free islands – Explore the charming islands of Lopud and Koločep, where cars are banned and life moves at a slower pace. Experience island life as it once was — simple, calm, and authentic.
  • Mljet National Park – One of Croatia’s greenest and most beautiful islands. Cycle around the famous saltwater lakes, paddle tranquil waters surrounded by pine forests, or take time to simply enjoy the untouched nature and silence of this protected area.
  • Comfort on board – Your floating home is a modern sailing catamaran designed for comfort and stability. Enjoy spacious common areas, wide decks perfect for relaxing, and private cabins with ensuite bathrooms.
  • Perfect short escape – This tour is ideal if you want a complete Adriatic experience but have limited time. In just four days, you’ll sail multiple islands, enjoy a variety of activities, swim in crystal‑clear waters, and still have time to relax.
