In SPRING weekly
cruises are scheduled, sailing along Istria and Croatia to feel the first
warm temperatures. The route winds along big and little islands: each of them
represents a separate story of natural beauties interwoven with the works men
have been making in the course of the centuries.
Boardings and landings are sometimes scheduled in different islands to allow to
visit a wider area and to avoid to retrace the same stretch of coast going back
against the wind with too much demanding and maybe uncomfortable sailing.
In JULY and AUGUST 10 and 15 days cruises are proposed with boardings
during the week to avoid week-end crowds in the marinas and difficulty to book a
flight. It will be nice to have a couple of more sailing days. Everybody always
says it would be nice to enjoy a few more days on board rather than the usual
week. Two weeks cruises are also recommended to really know an area and to
enjoy a real ONE WAY cruise. The itinerary will not be repeated and we
will be able to visit more islands.
The summer cruises are characterized by the famous Meltemi, the north wind that
blows stronger and regularly in the summer months, while in spring or in autumn
it is weaker or absent.
The cruises will mostly sail downwind so they will be comfortable and enjoyable.
On the contrary, whilst sailing north, upwind, the navigation will be more
sporting, even with some sprays on deck. Because of the vicinity between one
island and the other the sailing will anyway be enjoyable. However from time to
time we will consider together the choice of course, how many and which islands
to visit depending on meteo conditions, safety and guests’ wishes.
The best period for visiting these truly wonderful and beautiful islands is the
LOW SEASON, in spring or autumn, when both nature and places, with their
inhabitants, are not so busy and can be enjoyed in their authenticity.
Furthermore the climate in Turkey and Greece is very mild till the end of
October.
Boardings and landings are scheduled on islands connected by planes, ferries and
fast ferries and you will receive all necessary information. It’s very important
to book the flight some time ahead, a good rule valid for every destination in
high season, to find availability and and a good rate.
In May and October the cruises are ideal for people that want to do longer and
night sailing while visiting places. In case of chartering the whole boat, dates
and routes can be modified and customized on demand.
