The Dalmatian coast runs roughly 300 nautical miles between Istria and the Bay of Kotor, and the sailing happens in the gaps — short hops between islands, a konoba on the quay at Šolta, an empty cove on the back of Hvar before the day-trippers find it. The water is the colour you've seen in photographs and didn't believe.

We sail out of Trogir most summers. The tramontana from the north-west is reliable and rarely vicious, the navigation is line-of-sight, and harbours are close enough that a short day still gets you somewhere worth dropping the hook. Right for first charterers, couples, and families. Less right if you want long offshore legs.

Bareboat means you skipper. You'll need a recognised licence (ICC + VHF, RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104+) and a confident hand aboard — if no one on the crew is qualified, take the same yacht skippered and our captain drives.

We brief you on the local navigation: the channels and headlands that funnel the wind, where to anchor versus take a mooring, provisioning ports, and the best first-timer route versus the longer run for experienced crews.
