Sailing to Magical Mljet
Struggling to reef in the mainsail in the blustery wind, we could see the small port of Pomena in the distance, cheerful red Karlovačko umbrellas lining the port. And an ice-cold Karlovačko was just what we needed after a morning of bracing sailing on the Mljet channel between the Peljesac peninsula and Mljet Island. Here we were at last at Mljet Island, the highlight of our cruise. As soon as the boat was moored safely, Matt and I left the rest of the crew to order the beers and went in sear..

King Arthur - The legend unwrapped in Podstrana
Don't you just love the legends of King Arthur? Swirling in mystic lore, this colourful personality and his knights of the Round Table stir up images of battles, clashing swords, lances and magical potions. They are possibly the greatest cause of investigation and debate amongst historians, and have featured as the centrepiece for so many fables, literary works, comics, theatre and films. But never has it been historically, scientifically and conclusively proven that King Arthur existed, exce..

Vela Spila - Uncovering secrets in time
What makes sailing the Adriatic such a desirable adventure is the exquisitely calm blue sea as you meander between thousands of islands full of mysticism and folklore. Of course, every sailor knows that one eye must always be kept on the weather in case a sudden unexpected change of wind should blow up a storm. In the heat and heart of summer in July, after a day of smooth sailing around Korčula, a popular island in southern Dalmatia, and voted as the most beautiful island in Croatia, we ..

Ston and The Great Wall of Europe
He gazes down from his post on the lofty lookout, slowly turning 360 degrees. Sharp eyes combing the scene for any potential disturbances to the peaceful rhythm of life below. People bustle in the streets and on the placa (marketplace) between stone buildings with red-cobbled roofs, within the safety of tall walls surrounding the town. Their voices drift up on the breeze touching the tranquility enveloping him. Satisfied that all is well, he adjusts his helmet feeling the heat pounding upon h..

A day in the city of Šibenik with its two UNESCO monuments
Every sailor cherishes being on a yacht, gliding on the waves with a fair wind in the sails and the compass pointed towards new and interesting destinations. I have always been a child of the sea and simply love that feeling of freedom, my eyes on faraway horizons and the taste of salt on my lips. What I also have a passion for is discovering places that speak of history and ancient cultures. While sailing the multi-faceted Croatian coastline, where the river Krka flows into the Adriatic Sea,..

Nature and bird-lovers’ paradise
Not only does Croatia encompass the glistening Adriatic Sea, with its renowned 1000 islands that I know you sailors love, but there are some special places, not too far from the sea that are really worth exploring. Follow me to Vransko Jezero and once you have experienced its beauty, you will wonder why you haven’t heard of it before. Vransko Jezero (which literally translated means “Crow's Lake”) or as it's also called in English – Lake Vrana, is Croatia’s largest natural lake. Not..

Superb Sailing and Snorkeling in Croatia – where to go

Zavratnica – a hidden gem on the Adriatic
Croatia is a land of many secret treasures and offers a myriad beautiful places for sailors to explore. One such jewel is Zavratnica, an inlet on the Velebit channel, slightly south/east of the southernmost tip of Rab island on the northern Adriatic coast. At sunset we had sailed into the quaint, small town of Jablanac, just over 0,5 NM north of Zavratnica. Sailors take note: Depth on the South/Westerly side of the port is 3,2 m. Shops, restaurants and hotels in Jablanac are closed in win..

Okrug’s joie de vivre in the way of the sea wolves – enthralling easiness of sailing!
The island of Čiovo is located only about 2nm south of two large marinas in Seget Donji and Trogir. When planning their cruise itinerary, boaters tend to unfairly skip the island, likely due to the rush to get further and further in one’s journey. Despite this, there is no reason for a journey not to start or end in Čiovo. The coast is indented in the island municipality of Okrug and provides more than enough shelter for safe anchorages, so guests of nearby marinas will often choose one of th..
