Customer reviews & ratings
A wonderful sail along the Croatian coast with new found friends led by a young but absolutely excellent captain. Sailing the Adriatic is for everyone but sleeping in a tight, albeit comfortable, berth probably is not.
Gregory Oct, 2024 VerifiedDefinitely worth i, give it a go you might enjoy sailing. I loved it, but I gave it a 9 as I was a bit sick on the ship from sailing so for that reason it might not be for everyone.
