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.

An Unforgettable Sailing Adventure Along the Croatian Coast with Zara Sailing
Mia M,May 19, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We went on a sailing weekend with Zara Sailing and had an absolutely wonderful time. Even though the initial weather forecast wasn’t very promising, the trip turned out to be amazing. We experienced a bit of everything — rain, sunshine, clear skies, and wind — and it all made the adventure even more special. Our skipper, Petar, was incredibly professional and calm. You could immediately tell he had years of experience, and we felt completely confident and safe throughout the entire journey. The route he organized was perfect: from Zadar to Iž, then to Dugi Otok and the beautiful Telašćica Nature Park, and finally to the breathtaking Kornati islands. It was an unforgettable way to experience the Croatian coast, and I can’t wait for another opportunity to sail and marvel at its beauty again. Highly recommended!
Beautiful experience with a great skipper!

5.00This was my first multiple days sailing experience and all I can say it was fantastic and I can’t wait to do it again! Petar is such an amazing skipper and hoast. On the one hand, completely non intrusive, yet on the other hand, we’ve learned so much about sailing and the places we visited - Kornati and Telascica and the surrounding archipelago. It was so beautiful to observe his sailing skills while feeling completely safe even when the winds picked up a bit! Thank you, and we’ll repeat this experience surely again!
A Perfect Off-Season Escape with Friends

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Six of us girlfriends decided to escape everyday life for an off-season weekend. Life is full of obligations, work, careers and family obligations, and for a long time we had been saying that we really needed to go somewhere together and do something different. So we ended up sailing: a bit of sailing, a bit of cooking, a bit of planning the route, and a lot of sea and laughter. Even though there were six of us on the boat, it was honestly very comfortable. We slept like babies, and the kitchen was small but completely functional, so we had no trouble preparing our own meals. The weather was not always perfect, but we felt safe the entire time with our skipper, Petar. For every wind and every change in the forecast, he had a solution. He always found us a calm harbour, a good idea, and something interesting to see. And besides being truly passionate about the sea and sailing, Petar is also a genuinely caring, kind, and cheerful person. It was a real pleasure spending those three days with him. We would do it again without thinking twice. Warm recommendation for Zara Sailing.
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

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.
You need to do this, simply awesome

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.
