About this experience
This is a small group sailing experience with a maximum of 8 guests on a yacht. If there are more people in your group we have 2 yachts. Book as a solo or with a group of people so you can share experiences while sailing. Such bookings are the best way to meet, mingle and make friends with people from around the world. Our tour starts twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon with a welcome briefing, introducing your hosts, and the yacht and outlining some safety aspects. The sailing route will be dependent upon wind direction and weather conditions but will allow you to enjoy the scenery and will include visits to beautiful Pakleni islands and it's bays (there are 2 swim stops), which are not possible to reach by car. Pakleni islands are some of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. Once at anchor, you will be able to swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters.
If you are a family with small kids, book a private trip.
