What people love about Sailing Tours in Croatian Islands
- CROATIA SAIL - Split to Dubrovnik (The Southern Discovery)
We had such a fantastic week with Koda Sail - can't recommend highly enough! Our guide Chris (who also founded Koda) was an incredible host - he gave the tour a really personal feel and we felt right at home. The boat and crew were exceptional - the boat is a perfect size, super clean and comfortable facilities, and crew gave such friendly service. The breakfasts and included meals were filling and delicious! The itinerary was perfectly paced, plenty of amazing swim stops and enough time to explore the towns along the coast each afternoon. Great optional activities, we loved the rafting especially.
- Croatia Sailing Adventure: Split to Dubrovnik
Loved this. Everyone should do it atleast once!
- Croatia Sailing Adventure: Dubrovnik to Split
Really enjoyed the sailing! It is a beautiful sea! My only wish is that we took more time sailing. We used the motor too much. Bruno is an excellent skipper and host.
