Private charter of our fabulous sailing yacht! Just you and the Crew!

Spend 7 days sailing Croatia, island-hopping across the stunning Adriatic!

Explore the old fortified towns of Dubrovnik and Korčula, swim in the crystal clear waters in the Mljet National Park, cycle around the lake, go on a wine or military tour on the island of Vis and enjoy sunset cocktails on the cosmopolitan island of Hvar.
