SAILING

Captain Pero Kalebic inspecting his sails

“Sailing - a fine art of getting wet and becoming sick while slowly going nowhere at great expense”. We do not know where this pesimist author got wet and sick but probably not on Croatian Adriatic. One can get like that here now and then – but more likely spoiled as neither strong winds nor big waves are common. And if one sails between a thousand islands he definitely isn’t going “nowhere”.

It won’t be at great expense either as there are many modern yachts of all kinds available for charter. We can save one for you if you wish but wouldn’t you like something special? Like an old wooden beauty with crew to worry and you to enjoy? It would take you from one to another of the most interesting and pleasant islands, raise its sails when the winds are good but also carry the “thing” you want with you on your vacation: a bicycle, a kayak, a diving gear, a pair of hiking shoes…

Time to "let go the anchor" - by Mljet island

These old timers do not provide luxury of a big cruiser but some people prefer spending their vacation wearing shorts and sandals. Those also enjoy simply throwing themselves into clear turquise water while the ship is anchored for lunch. They also love to paddle and explore the cliffs, caves and beaches on shore. Or they get on a bike, ride it to the villages with no hotels or tourists to meet the local people, taste excellent cheese and drink a glass of home made wine.

If you are such a type let us (similar types) find a boat for you. Even better – your friends must be of that type as well, so get them all together and have the whole boat for yourselves. The captain will go where you want, the chef will cook what you want and the guide will do what he wants.
