The closest thing to this experience is being on the Windjammer in Maine, USA. But, instead of tours on the rough Atlantic Ocean, you are sailing on the calm blue waters of the beautiful Adriatic Sea.

For this experience, you have to be fit, agile, adaptable, and enjoy meeting people from all over Europe. These ships have tall sails, but mostly run with motors as the wind is seldom and unpredictable.

The capacity of these small ships is for a mere twenty-eight or so people. The cabins are basic and small and not sound-proof, reachable by narrow steep stairs. Some ships have private bathrooms for each cabin, while others are shared.

These sailing tours are for vacationers who love to swim, sunbathe, and snorkel, which can be done right off the ship as it anchors in beautiful spots. If you like camping, dont require much privacy, and are comfortable with informal living, than you are a good candidate for this holiday adventure.

Each evening your ship docks at either islands or the mainland, to enable you to socialize and enjoy local food and shops before returning to the ship for the night.

No need or space for a fancy wardrobe or many suitcases. These sailing tours are for tee shirts, swim suits, a few towels with lots of sun lotion in a small suitcase.

Each ship has its own chef who prepares home-cooked meals with local produce, meat and fish daily in the informal dining area. Passengers share meals as they get to chat, make new friends, and learn about Croatia as they sail.
