... because it is an adventure placed in beautiful nature
Croatia, Italy, Greece, Montenegro, Slovenia and Spain. Alone on
a beach or visiting a town in a group. Every day on another place.
Or every second day. As you wish. One moment in an unspoilt
medieval town, another in the natural beauty of coastal national
parks in the Adriatic. The choice is yours.
What is it all about?
It is a holiday in which, depending on your mood, you can decide
where and how to spend your time. If you want peace and quiet, you
can visit one of the many empty coves or a small fishing village.
If you are in more of a partying mood, you can watch the sunset
from a seafood restaurant and then attend a beach party or dance
till sunrise in a nightclub.
Sailing cannot be static or boring. You can approach it as a
sport and get the knack of hoisting a sail or tying sailors knots,
or you can simply leave the work to the experienced skipper while
you relax and admire the waves and the sea.
If you are travelling in couples, what you will never lack are
sea and romance! You can go swimming at any moment and in every
place. Perhaps you will even be lucky enough to swim with the
dolphins that frequently follow sailing boats. And can you imagine
a more romantic evening than being on the deck of a boat under a
starlit sky, surrounded by luminescent plankton?

Where to catch the wind?
The Mediteranean sea and the coasts of Croatia, Italy, Greece,
Slovenia and Montenegro provide the sceneary for one of the most
stunning and unspoiled landscapes in Europe (click on images to see
big maps).
The Adriatic (the "Mediteranean as it once was") is an ideal
place for sailing. It is safe, with plenty of wind and sun and over
1700 islands, islets and cliffs to explore. The climate is warm and
Mediterranean, with an average 25°C sea temperature in
summer.
This is also a unique area in Europe for enjoying the underwater
world.
Here are the facts about the four beautiful countries in this
area: Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Montenegro (will open in new
window).
More information about geography, countries and towns can be found
in section People & Places.

Why is sailing our passion?
Let us tell you why we love sailing. Perhaps this will reflect
your own adventure and dreams.
- The indescribable sense of freedom while admiring the natural
splendour of the Mediterranean.
- Feeling the heat of the sun and the wind blowing on your
skin.
- Watching the extraordinary sight of dolphins playing and
dancing around the boat.
- Diversity and spontaneity. Travelling every day to a different
place, with a new splendour behind every promontory.
- Experiencing the thrill provided by a strong wind: sailing
rapidly and feeling the sea-spray.
- Lying on the deck while sailing during the day, swimming at
night in luminescent plankton under starlit skies.
- Hearing the calming sounds of the sea and wind, free from any
noise of motors.
- Swimming every day at any moment in crystal clear waters.
- Dreaming sweet dreams ... (A sailing boat rocks one to sleep
like a baby in a cradle!)
