Croatia Gulet cruise Dubrovnik to Split

Planet

We can book this trip for you via train so you do not need to take a single flight. Please see above for details.

The food and wine served on board is almost 100% locally produced, supporting many small producers, keeping food miles to a minimum and helping to maintain the traditional small scale farming and fishing that the coast and islands depend on

Sail power has very obvious benefits and we hope to sail under sail power up to 50% of the time, though this obviously depends on the prevailing weather conditions.

By using a small vessel that can access the smallest ports, in addition to using sail power whenever practical, we restrict our travel to just a few miles per day, unlike larger vessels that have to travel a great deal further between ports.

The small size of these cruise vessels and the small passenger numbers ensures that any detrimental social and environmental impacts are minimised whilst allowing the passengers to visit smaller communities that don’t usually benefit from this form of tourism. This also enables small communities to host tourists without the need for building hotels and other infrastructure that may be required.

All our waste is returned to port and disposed of responsibly as we know that the beauty of the environment we work and live in provides us with our income. If we spoil our environment our livelihood would be in jeopardy.

People

The vessel is owned and crewed by Croatians.

This is the antithesis of ‘cruising’. Vast ships disgorging thousands of passengers into the few ports that they can actually fit into for a few hours, while we skip between the tiny harbours and ports that dot the Croatian coastline and islands, where the larger vessels simply cannot go.

Our vessel stops at many small ports and towns where we can fully enjoy some of the very best that Croatia has to offer. The money that we will spend in many of these smaller communities will help to preserve the fantastic heritage of these antique coastline. Our visits to Mljet National Park & The Benedictine monastery on St Mary Isle will help preserve them by putting a little funding directly into their coffers.

By leaving our guests free to choose their own dining venues in the evenings, this ensures that a range of small restaurants and cafes will benefit from our guests spending. This in turn supports small local farms, fishermen, olive groves and vineyards to maintain their small scale traditional production techniques.
