Sailing and relaxingon a catamaran
The benefits of Catamarans
Spaciousness:
This Catamaran is designed with comfort in mind and offers spacious double en-suit cabins with bathrooms, comfortable lounge area, and a large dining space. With a generous deck space, you can enjoy a sense of freedom and comfort that's hard to match on a monohull. This is the perfect choice for couples or small groups who want their own space and privacy while sailing together.
Stability:
Catamarans have two hulls instead of one and therefore don't tilt or heel as much while sailing. This makes them exceptionally stable so you can move about the boat, dine, or relax without the constant need to adjust to the boat's movement. This stability also enhances safety and reduces the risk of seasickness, allowing you to enjoy smooth and steady sailing.
Amazing views:
The elevated helm position on a flybridge catamaran offers panoramic views of the surrounding waters. Due to its shallow draft, you can anchor closer to shore and explore coves, beaches and otherwise inaccessible areas.
Eco-friendly yachting:
This boat is perfect if you want to travel and preserve nature. It is equipped both with large solar panels and batteries, significantly reducing the need for engine usage. This lowers both costs and noise. Enjoy sailing, anchoring and snorkeling with a clean conscience.

Sailing in Istria
“We’re a Dutch family of 4 (young couple with 6 and 8 y/o kids) and decided to live NOW and ordered a custom built Nautitech 40 in preparation for a long sailing adventure in 2025. But before we set sail ourselves, you can charter our exclusive catamaran in Pula, Croatia, for a limited time only.” – says “Howdoo” owner.
Enjoy a route and itinerary that are completely tailored with your interests and preferences in mind. Here’s an example of what a week-long adventure can look like:
Board your catamaran in Marina Veruda, the starting and finishing point of your Adriatic vacation. After stocking up on provisions, the sails are set towards the breathtaking shores of Istria, starting with the secluded days at the Brijuni islands. Dive straight into snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters or simply relax on deck after your travels.
The following day, you sail to Premuda known for its system of caves called the cathedral, but also for its beautiful beaches and pine trees. The atmosphere will send you straight into vacation mode.
Continue your journey to Vsar, a picturesque medieval village. Here, you can wander the narrow alleyways of the old town and immerse yourself in its past. Perfect for couples and families seeking an interesting yet slow-paced excursion.
The next sailing day brings you to Rovinj, a breathtaking fishing port on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. The old town stands on a headland, with houses tightly crowded down to the seafront.
This is just one of your possible itineraries starting and ending your yacht charter holidays in Pula. You could alternatively set course for the East and visit Pomer, Rabac, Opatitja, Punat, Cres, or Mali Losinj.
As you cruise back to Pula, you’ll be filled with new unforgettable memories and experiences you’ve shared along the way.
Useful Information
Plan YourSailing Vacation
Book your charter week & flights in advance:
Start by selecting your desired dates and booking your charter week through our form in advance. This ensures you secure your preferred time slot. Once your charter week is confirmed, book your flights to and from the departure location. Early bookings often offer better deals.
Plan your sailing route:
Research and plan the sailing route you wish to explore. Discuss your preferences with the crew to align your expectations. If you don’t know what to see, the crew are happy to assist with their recommendations.
Plan your activities and equipment:
Determine the activities you’d like to enjoy during your trip, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkeling, or other water sports so the crew can prepare the equipment.
Pack smart and travel light:
Soft luggage or bags are better then hard suitcases, as they are easier and safer to stow on board. Focus on essentials like swimwear, a windproof jacket and comfortable clothing – you won’t need a full wardrobe. It‘s also wise to bring anti-seasickness pills just in case.
Secure insurance coverage:
Remember to book your crew liability insurance, as it’s obligatory for your safety. Additionally, strongly consider travel cancellation insurance to keep your investment safe in case unforeseen circumstances arise.
