5.00A perfect day that was tailor made to our requirements. Parvo was a great skipper, very friendly and knowledgeable with the most impressive English. GoPro was a great touch.

5.00Went on a full day tour 8 hours with Pavoa. He customized our trip and made a beautiful experience. He was a young but very experienced sailor, full control all the way. Nice!
Wow! Crazy good time!

5.00We took a Private 8 hours trip, it was great! We loved it!! He took us to different swimming spots and always consulting us if we wanted to go to other places. They offered variety of drinks and various plates of Istrian cheeses and hams. Would definitely recommend it, a different way to see Pula.
Awesome Sailing Day Tour!

5.00We had a very good day with Pavao, he's really a good Skipper, very kind but also gave us enough private space as a group to enjoy the atmosphere and go swimming & snorkeling. We saw nice bays and also got basic introduction into sailing the boat. All perfect, can really recommend that sailing tour with Sail Istria!
Great experience to sail Istria

5.00It was the first time I've been on a boat ride like this and I'm already looking at how to go back again. If you are looking for the best way to make the most of a day at sea with your friends, this is definitely it. Skipper David is a super fun person who suggested routes according to our preferences. We saw dolphins, stopped on an island for lunch, saw a caves, cliffs... Everything was great, and the best of all was the sunset on the way back. Great experience.
Incredible experience for anyone looking to enjoy the Istrian coast

5.00While I expected to enjoy the trip, I was surprised by how much fun we all had during those 8 hours. We had a Bluetooth speaker and the skipper on the boat was an interesting person to talk to and offered us several routes at the beginning and during the trip. After the first stop where we had lunch we sailed to a spot with two caves you could jump from the top from. Throughout the trip, we encountered a few dolphins who followed the boat. Overall, I very much recommend this experience to anyone looking the enjoy the Istrian coast in a new way
Phenomenal new experience

5.00An unforgettable experience and a new way to experience the seaside. We sailed for a good part of the trip and even saw dolphins throughout the day. We had a bluetooth speaker and listened to music the whole time. The skipper was great and offered us multiple routes to take. I highly recommend the trip, especially if you like sailing or you've never sailed before!
