This is a small group sailing experience with a maximum of 8 guests on a yacht. If there are more people in your group we have more yachts. Book as a solo or with a group of people so you can share experiences while sailing. Such bookings are the best way to meet, mingle and make friends with people from around the world. Our tour starts twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon with a welcome briefing, introducing your hosts, and the yacht and outlining some safety aspects. The sailing route will be dependent upon wind direction and weather conditions but will allow you to enjoy the scenery and will include visits to beautiful Pakleni islands and it's bays (there are 2 swim stops), which are not possible to reach by car.

Aleksandar was fantastic from start to finish. Sailing in that beutiful sea, and dropping snchor to swim in some amazing coves created one perfect day. well worth the money.
Vlada and Ivan were perfect hosts for this amazing day on the water. Great music, conversation and vibes. We snorkeled in one peaceful spot and in one more popular spot - both beautiful. Highly recommend.
The experience was enjoyable to be certain because we were on the ocean and swimming in incredibly beautiful waters, but it could have been so much better. We never set sail, albeit due to weak-ish winds, but there probably was an opportunity that the guide chose not to take. There was not much interaction between the group as a whole and either of the two guides, so the atmosphere wasn’t charged with fun. Additionally, the cabin of the boat was trashed - clearly the living space of the guide and his assistant and nothing was clean or organized. The company and TripAdvisor communications before the trip were excellent and the pickup and dropoff very well executed and on-time, but unfortunately it wasn’t a special experience.
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful waters around Hvar and the smooth communication, pickup, and drop-off service. We’re sorry to hear that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. Sailing conditions can vary, and the decision to sail depends on wind strength and safety considerations. We also appreciate your comments regarding the atmosphere and the condition of the cabin, and we will review these points with our team to ensure a better experience for our guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving. Warm regards, Marija
An absolute highlight of our trip! We had a fantastic day sailing with our skipper and his son. They were friendly, fun, professional, and made everyone feel welcome. The skipper even shared his grandmother’s homemade cookies with us, which was such a thoughtful touch. We also loved that there were only 8 guests on board, making the experience feel intimate and relaxed. Highly recommend this sailing trip to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water! ⛵️☀️🌊
My family of four (young adult children) thoroughly enjoyed this experience! The boating was relaxing and the two swimming stops were gorgeous - the second spot had the most amazing, clear turquoise water I have ever seen. Our guides communicated well ahead of time (easy to find at the busy meeting spot) and supplied some snacks and snorkel gear even though we weren't expecting that. Definitely a highlight of our two days in Hvar.
Lovely day on the water. Sailing was nice and not to scary
The Captain of the boat was a skilled sailor and you could see he had a passion for sailing. We had a great wind so were able sail out easily. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, some other passengers did not appreciate the way the boat keeled when the jib was raised and at our first swim stop, they asked that we not sail again so we motored the rest of the day. This put the Captain in a difficult situation because other passengers had expected to sail more during the day. It was very disappointing. I'm not sure why someone would book a sailing tour and then not want to sail. If you don't like sailing please book some other tour so that those of us who want to sail, get our monies worth. Otherwise, it was a good trip and worth the money.
Alex the captain, provided a fun and relaxing experience. The people we met were very interesting. Everyone interacted and exchanged stories. The swim stops were refreshing and the sailing on very good winds. The sailing part was tranquil.
Had such a fun trip. Vitor was an awesome guide and would highly recommend. It’s a great trip to see the islands and have a great time on the boat as well as jumping in the water
⛵️🌊 What a fantastic family sailing tour around the Palenki Islands! Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both relaxing and memorable. We stopped in a beautiful cove for a swim 🏖️🤿, and the wind was perfect for some exciting sailing speed ⛵️💨. A wonderful day on the water—highly recommended! ☀️😊👏
