What To Expect
Ostri rat - Puntamika Lighthouse
The trip begins at the Borik marina, just outside Zadar’s old town. As we cruise along the coast, we pass the red-and-white Puntamika Lighthouse, a scenic landmark at the tip of the peninsula. From there, we continue through the Zadar Channel toward the island of Ugljan, with the majestic mountains of the mainland rising in the background—a perfect blend of sea, islands, and dramatic coastal views.
Ugljan Island
We’ll anchor for about 1 hour in a beautiful, untouched bay on Ugljan Island. Here you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax and enjoy the peace, crystal-clear sea, and unspoiled nature around you. Take a moment to unwind – this is your time to enjoy the true magic of the Adriatic.

3 fantastic days with Petar

5.00Already our 3rd sailing tour with Petar to the Kornati Islands and always as magic! Petar knows the best bathing bays and the best fish restaurants in the Kornatis. The first day we made a round trip around the Island of Ugljan. The second and third day we went to the Kornati islands and spent the night in Vrulje, eating fantastic fish at the Konoba Ante. Petar is a fantastic skipper and I can only recommend anyone to book a trip with him!
Perfect Sailing Experience with Petar on Zara

5.00We had an unforgettable three-day sailing trip with Petar, the skipper and owner of the beautiful boat Zara. Everything was simply perfect — from the smooth sailing to the crystal-clear swimming spots, especially in the stunning Lojena Bay. Petar is not only an excellent sailor but also a fantastic host. He chose amazing places for us to sail, swim, and dine — the dinner at Konoba Levrnaka was outstanding. We truly enjoyed every moment on board and appreciated Petar’s warm hospitality, professionalism, and local knowledge. It was an absolute pleasure to spend these days with him, and we’re already looking forward to our next trip! Sebastian, Heide and Gerhard
Absolutely perfect

5.00I would highly recommend this company, we had a wonderful day. Petar is very professional and planned our day perfectly. He had made a reservation at a restaurant on an island for lunch and the food was amazing. His boat is very luxurious. You will not be disappointed if you book with this company.

5.00Our Skipper Petar was an absolute legend, he was very informative and put the day together seamlessly. The boat is very spacious, we were only 6 so loads of space to move around the vessel. Lunch time, Petar took us to a fantastic restaurant where the fish caught in the morning was served for lunch, food was the freshest and most perfectly cooked. Our Sail back was fun, although the weather was so amazing, wind was not on our side but great to get the sails up. This is a must do, I could not give any less than a banging 5 star review.
Best day ever

5.00We had the best day on this lovely boat. Petar was the most professional skipper, with lots of local info and took us to a beautiful bay for a swim then to another island for lunch and then a leisurely sail back. It was perfect and we would definitely book to do it again and again.

5.00We booked Petar for a private sailing day tour for two adults and tow kids and it was the highlight of our holidays in Croatia. Petar is such a lovely person. You can trust him 100%, he knows the sea best and finds the best spots for swimming and eating for you. Petar also booked a table for us in a restaurant at the sea, so we could enjoy our lunch with best view and food. Highly recommend - everybody needs to enjoy such a wonderful experience. We'll see us again ! Thanks, Petar :) Best wishes Jacqueline
Perfect day trip on the water

5.00Peter was a phenomenal skipper and we had an amazing day visiting some of the islands close to Zadar. Peter worked with us to choose the perfect itinerary which included a wonderful lunch at one of the island marinas. He is also very knowledgeable about the geography and history of the area. The sailboat facilities were ideal, we much preferred this over the smaller speedboat type of option- it was perfect for two families to share- this was definitely the highlight of our stay in Zadar!
