5.00The tourgide Pavao was super cheerful. He made small talk and was interested in us and in the Netherlands. We laughed a lot with him! We were allowed to help with sailing, put on our own music and use the GoPro for gift images while snorkeling. We had a great afternoon and recommend this tour to everyone!

5.00Wow! What an amazing way to see Pula! The sailing experience was beautiful and certainly a wonderful time. Both the owner and our skipper (David) were excellent at communicating, alleviating any travel stress. David was great! He sat us down at the start of the trip and showed us his plan then asked if had any input to tailor the trip to our desires. Despite the cost of the trip, we would 100% recommend this experience!
Unforgettable sailing experience in Pula

5.00We went on a 4 hour sailing trip and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time on a sailboat, and it exceeded all my expectations. David, the skipper, was very experienced and he immediately made us feel at ease. The sailing itself was breathtaking. We anchored nearby different islands to have a swim and do some snorkeling. This was undoubtedly an experience I won’t soon forget, and I can’t wait to do it again. This sailing tour is something I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a boat tour when visiting Pula.
Excellent!

5.00Really smooth process from time of booking online until the day of the actual trip. Our skipper was really knowledgeable and recommended where was best to stop off based on the weather. We ended up swimming in a cove which we had completely to ourselves which was so beautiful and a real highlight. Snorkels, paddle board, refreshments and GoPro camera were provided which we were very pleasantly surprised by. We didn’t want the trip to end and wished we’d done a full day!
Great couple of hours

5.00A great way to spend a couple of hours. The perfect amount of sailing and down time. Kids (16/13) loved it and parents (46/50!) were able to just enjoy the ride. Many thanks …

5.00Our sailing trip was amazing! The skipper was excellent, making sure everything went smoothly. We had an incredible time cliff jumping and exploring a cave underwater. Seeing dolphins up close was a truly magical moment. We also stopped at a restaurant where the food was excellent. It was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone!
A perfect ride

5.00A perfect afternoon. This is a must to do. Don't hesitate to book. All was very easy. Transfer from and to boat, the tour with swimming and caves. The captain of the boat was very good. Social, helpful and managed to give us exactly what we wanted and more.
