Before booking, confirm with us that there is a free spot for you for your chosen date.

We invite you to join an intimate sailing experience around the Croatian islands – a unique blend of adventure, sailing, discovering new places, and enjoying carefree moments at sea.

There will be only six guests on board, plus the two of us – Kinga and Natalia. This allows for a much more personal and relaxed atmosphere than on large, commercial sailing trips.

Each trip is also an opportunity to learn sailing. If you’re interested, you can actively take part in running the yacht – trimming sails, steering, and learning the fundamentals of navigation. But if you’d rather relax, swim in crystal-clear water, and simply enjoy the sea, there’s plenty of space for that too.

August trips have a more laid-back, holiday feel. September departures are slightly more focused on sailing and hands-on experience, but every trip keeps a balance between learning and relaxation.

The trip is open to everyone – whether you already have sailing experience or are stepping on a yacht for the very first time.

One of the most special parts of these trips is the people. Guests often come from different countries, cities, and backgrounds, meeting for the first time on board. After just a few days at sea, the crew naturally becomes a small community – sailing, cooking, exploring islands, swimming in hidden bays, and watching sunsets together.

For who?

Our training is open to everyone — no prior sailing experience is required.

A mixed-experience crew reflects real sailing conditions and creates a great learning environment. Whether you are just starting out or already have some experience, you’ll find your place on board.

Beginners will gain confidence through hands-on experience — learning safety, boat handling, and participating in real manoeuvres both under sail and in the marina.

More experienced sailors can use this training to take the next step towards becoming an independent skipper. The focus includes voyage planning, crew management, manoeuvring, technical basics, and handling more challenging situations at sea.

Our sailing training programme

During the trip, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a hands-on sailing training, especially during the more training-focused weeks. The learning happens naturally throughout the journey — directly on the water, in real sailing conditions.

If you choose to get involved, you won’t just be a passenger — you’ll become an active member of the crew.

Some of our trips are designed specifically as training weeks. These focus on practical skills, both at sea and in marinas. As every experienced sailor knows, a successful voyage starts long before leaving the harbour — with good planning and strong crew coordination. That’s why one of the key elements of our training is learning how to prepare a safe and comfortable sailing trip.

Our training is inspired by the British RYA (Royal Yachting Association) system and covers elements of:
• Competent Crew
• Day Skipper

⸻

During the training, you will learn:

• basics of sailing theory
• sail handling and boat operations
• steering and maintaining course
• navigation and route planning
• safety procedures on board
• life on a yacht and teamwork
• elements of night sailing (depending on conditions)

Skippers

The cruise is led by the two of us – Kinga and Natalia. We are sisters, and for years our lives have naturally revolved around the sea. Each of us followed a slightly different sailing path, but on board we complement each other perfectly.

Kinga has been running a sailing school in the Canary Islands for many years, teaching on small, sporty sailboats. This is where she spends most of her time on the water. Atlantic waves don’t faze her – even on a four-meter boat. Beyond sailing, she has developed a strong passion for the underwater world, especially diving and exploring marine life.

Natalia has been skippering sailing cruies for years across the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Canary Islands. During the summer, she also trains and prepares new sailors for their certifications. She studies psychology, which helps her create a warm and easy-going atmosphere on board, where everyone quickly feels at home. She’s full of energy, naturally open to people, and her calmness and smile often make all the difference in various sailing situations.

Our yachts

All our yachts are comfortable 40-45 ft, vessel. Fully equipped and prepared for ocean sailing, with a dinghy on board to make our land conquests smoother.

Typical day

There’s no such thing as a “typical day” on this cruise. Each day unfolds a little differently – shaped by the wind, the weather, the places we visit, and the energy of the crew.

Some mornings begin with an early swim in a quiet bay, followed by coffee on deck in complete stillness. Other days, we set sail right away, making the most of perfect sailing conditions as we head towards the next island.

Along the way, we stop for swimming, snorkeling, or lunch in secluded turquoise bays. These simple moments – floating in open water, feeling the sun on your skin, and having nowhere to rush – often become the most memorable.

In the evenings, we stay in charming harbors or anchor in peaceful, more remote spots. It’s time for a stroll through a seaside town, dinner in a local konoba, or simply watching the sunset from the deck.

For those who would like to enrich their experience, we can also arrange optional activities. One of them is diving with a local diving school – even if you’ve never tried it before and would like to experience your first dive.

Depending on the route, we may visit some truly unique places, such as the famous Blue Cave on the island of Biševo, where sunlight creates an intense glowing blue inside the cave. Another highlight is the island of Mljet – lush, green, and peaceful, with beautiful anchorages, a national park, and crystal-clear water.

We can also organize additional experiences on land, such as local wine tastings or painting workshops with wine in a unique setting. These activities are available at an extra cost, depending on the route and upon prior request.

If there are children on board – or adults who still feel like kids – we can also prepare fun treasure hunts in port towns, with small challenges, riddles, and sailing-themed games.

Above all, the trip is flexible and shaped around the crew – a balance of sailing, exploring, and simply enjoying life at sea.
