This Dubrovnik Adventure Sailing Break is ideal for active people who want to see as much of the Dubrovnik area but have limited time. This short cruise takes you paddleboarding, cycling, swimming, and snorkeling on four islands. But don’t worry, days are structured so you have enough time to unwind and relax.
Your home for this adventure will be a comfortable sailing catamaran that easily accommodates 10 persons. It is big enough for everyone to have space without feeling cramped.
On our short cruise, we visit islands of the Elaphiti Archipelago: thirteen islands stretching west from Dubrovnik. However, only three of those islands have people living on them year-round: Lopud, Kolocep and Sipan, and Kolocep and Lopud are completely car-free. You will also discover a national park situated on the island of Mljet – you will cycle around two saltwater lakes and visit the islet with the monastery in one of those lakes. Finally, we visit the Peljesac peninsula, home of some of the best Croatian wines, and a place to enjoy the freshest oysters and mussels.
Our experienced local guides and skippers avoid overcrowded destinations ensuring you get the most authentic short cruise experience. You have the opportunity to dine with local families in their homes and enjoy good food and excellent wine. Friendly dolphins or tuna in the area often escort our yachts. The sea is blue, clear, warm and friendly.
Dubrovnik Adventure Sailing Break departs every day of the week except Fridays and includes three nights on the boat. Families with children aged 6 and up are welcome on family departures.
This is a non-smoking holiday, which means we ask our travellers to refrain from smoking in the company of other guests.
You can easily combine this short cruise with our other short experiences all over Croatia.
