Overview

Spend an unforgettable day at sea aboard a comfortable 40-foot sailboat, exploring the stunning Adriatic coast and nearby islands at your own pace.

Your skipper for the day is a local professional, passionate about sailing and the sea, and with years of experience navigating these waters. What makes this trip special is its flexibility – you can discuss the route directly with the skipper, whether you’d like to visit a hidden bay, a quiet beach, or a charming island village.

Along the way, enjoy plenty of time to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on deck while soaking up the sun and the breathtaking views. If you're interested, the skipper will be happy to show you the basics of sailing and get you involved in the experience.

This is more than just a tour – it's a personalized sailing day, shaped by your interests and guided by a true local expert.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Sailing Day Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
