Full description

Each tour lasts approximately 4 hours and combines sightseeing, sailing, swimming, relaxation, and discovering the islands near Zadar.

After departing from Zadar, we sail towards the beautiful island of Ugljan, often called the "green island" due to its rich Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves, and traditional Dalmatian villages. The first stop will be either the charming fishing village of Kali or the picturesque village of Preko. The exact destination is selected by the skipper on the day based on weather and sea conditions — this flexible approach means guests enjoy a more relaxed, authentic experience while avoiding crowded areas wherever possible.

Kali is known as one of the most important fishing villages in Croatia, offering a glimpse into traditional island life and local maritime heritage. Preko is famous for its beautiful waterfront promenade, charming stone houses, cafés, and spectacular views of the Zadar coastline. Guests have free time to explore, take photos, enjoy a coffee by the sea, or simply soak up the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.

After the village stop, the sailing adventure continues towards one of the beautiful bays around Ugljan or nearby islands. The yacht anchors in a secluded bay with crystal-clear water, providing the perfect opportunity for swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, and relaxing surrounded by nature. Far from busy beaches and tourist crowds, this stop allows guests to connect with the true spirit of island life.

For those seeking a truly unforgettable experience, the sunset departure offers breathtaking views as the sun slowly disappears over the Adriatic horizon. The golden reflections on the sea, gentle sailing breeze, and peaceful atmosphere create memories that will last a lifetime.
