The combination of sea, river and mountain creates a destination ideal for families, relaxed sailing and an authentic nature experience.
Sailing through this area means crystal clear water, calm sea conditions and views you cannot experience on “classic” tourist routes.

What our satisfied guests say
01
A wonderful trip! The captain was really kind, the weather was perfect and all the views were beautiful! There was also a swimming stop and lunch in Novigrad. It was the best excursion we had on our trip to Croatia. Worth every cent :-) and greetings to the captain and his family!
02
We were greeted on board with a delicious breakfast and refreshing drinks. There was plenty of time for swimming in crystal clear water, and the highlight was our fantastic guide – super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. An unforgettable adventure, highly recommended!
03
If you want to rent a boat, this is the right place for you. We rented it a second time and you'll hardly find such a kind and honest person. Highly recommended, and we'll be back next year 🙌
04
On the last day we went on the boat and it was the highlight. The route was excellent, the food was good and plentiful, and the captain was friendly and entertaining. There was so much to see, and it is a must for fans of Winnetou. Absolutely fantastic value for money and highly recommended.
05
Beautiful excursion, guide Hrvoje was excellent, breakfast croissants, pastries, fresh fruit, juices, lunch at the restaurant, cruising on boat Helena, fantastic scenery. Swimming in coves, jumping from the boat into the sea... something for everyone... in short, an excursion to be recommended... and repeated.
06
A very lovely experience. They were flexible enough to fit us in for a sunset cruise. Our skipper was great – the ride was unforgettable for all of us. Beautiful sunsets here – highly recommended!
A large boat on a small and calm sea. A perfect and safe day.
