Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a relaxed, social affair with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. The half-board meal plan includes breakfast and lunch, prepared by the host to ensure guests are well-fueled for their daily adventures. The menu features a blend of local Croatian dishes and Western favorites, with special attention paid to dietary requirements such as vegetarian and vegan options. In the evenings, guests can enjoy complimentary wine with dinner, creating a perfect atmosphere for sharing stories of the day's explorations. The dining experience is informal, often taking place in the outdoor lounge area, allowing guests to enjoy their meals while surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Adriatic.
Shore excursions & land activities
The sailing experience focuses on land-based exploration and coastal discovery rather than underwater activities. Guests are encouraged to explore the historic harbor towns, walk through ancient ruins, and hike the scenic trails that crisscross the Dalmatian islands. The itinerary is designed to provide ample time for cultural immersion, with visits to local tavernas and historic sites being the primary focus of the daily excursions. Water-based activities are limited to casual swimming and snorkeling in the quiet, turquoise coves that dot the Adriatic coast. The vessel provides snorkeling equipment for those who wish to explore the shallows, and the stand-up paddleboard is available for guests to enjoy the calm waters around the anchorages. The focus remains on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of the islands from the water and the shore.
