Carbon Neutral Trip
Set sail aboard your private yacht through Croatia’s Adriatic Islands, charting our course on your time (with a little help from the crew, naturally). Off-ship, you'll explore Krka’s cascading waterfalls, navigate the ethereal Kornati archipelago, and drift into Zadar’s storied streets. Travel at your pace—because the best adventures never follow someone else’s timetable.
Head off the beaten path to discover the Adriatic’s spectacular landscapes—from Krka National Park to the secluded Kornati Islands.
Savour the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean with freshly caught seafood and authentic local dishes in lively seaside towns.
