Sail, Stay Active, and Have Fun

A sailing holiday is an excellent way to experience the beauty of the sea, but it is not the only way to enjoy it. Combining sailing with water sports activities can make for an even more exciting and memorable vacation.

One of the lately most popular activities during sailing holidays is paddle boarding. This is convenient for all ages, adults, as well for children. Paddleboards are not standard equipment on the boats if you would be interested to try them, reserve them in advance.

Water skiing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding - these activities are also convenient for all family generations. If you are renting a bigger sailing yacht or catamaran, you can rent a bigger RIB with an Adrenalin pack which you can tow with the boat.

Adrenalin Pack is what the children will like for sure. Adrenalin Pack includes a RIB boat with 50 or 100 HP, Water skis, Water tube, and Wakeboard. Please note this service is not available from all ports and should be booked in advance due to limited availability.

If cycling is what you prefer, you can enjoy the beautiful hiking trails and scenery of the Adriatic islands. The best part is getting to the top of the hills, from where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the open sea.panoramic-view-from-the-mountain-biokovo-dalmatia.jpg
