BAVARIA 34 CRUISER |

Check-in available in the afternoon at the Charter offices in the Embarkation Marina. After finishing the quick procedures of taking over the boat (technical check-in) and boarding the galley, you can enjoy an aperitif and dinner near the Marina or alternatively set sail immediately and enjoy the first sailing.

After our breakfast on board, admiring the fantastic landscape surrounding us, we leave towards Rovinj. During the trip, we can make a couple of stops to relax a bit in some wonderful places and swim in the splendid Croatian sea. We will have lunch on the boat, and in the evening we will reach our destination and decide whether to moor in the port or spend the night at anchor and go ashore with the dinghy. Rovinj is a fishing port on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. The old town is located on a promontory and is characterized by narrow houses, one next to the other and reaching the sea. A tangle of cobblestone streets takes you to the Cathedral of Saint Euphemia, situated on a hill and with a massive bell tower dominating the skyline. South of the old town we find Lone Bay, one of the pebble beaches in the area. The 14 islands of the Rovinj Archipelago are right next to the mainland.

Today we head towards Pula, making some stops during the trip to enjoy the wonderful views and the splendid sea. We will sail in front of the Brioni Islands, which we will visit later on. We will moor in the evening at Marina Veruda, but we can also anchor the boat in the fantastic bay of Uvala Cintinera. The ones who would like to visit Pula can reach it by taxi in about 10 minutes. The Brioni National Park is an oasis of harmony between man and the world of flora and fauna. There are around 700 plant species and 250 bird species, while the mild Mediterranean climate makes it an enjoyable and healthy place. Departing from Fazana, the green line we see in front of us becomes Veli Brijun, the biggest of the 14 islands. Pula, a seaside town at the end of the Croatian part of Istria, is known for its sheltered port, its beaches and the Roman ruins.

After a wonderful evening, in the morning of the fourth day we head towards Pomer, where we will spend the night. We will stop on a suggestive islet for lunch, tasting fish and meat specialities. The sea is clear, clean and transparent, and in its intense colors we can find dolphins and also one of the symbols of the Adriatic, the monk seal. Rocky and pebble beaches, high and steep or flat and low cliffs overlooking the sea… but in Pula you can also find sand a super thin gravel made of thousands of tiny seashells.

After having spent the night in beautiful Pomer, we set sail to reach the Brioni Islands, with the possibility to spend a night at the marina. An enchanting place, beautiful to visit by renting a bike or a golf-car. In the evening, after a wonderful day, we will have dinner aboard into a unique oasis.

The sixth day will take us to a special place for a swim. We head towards Porec, wonderful town worth a visit. During the trip, we will make a stop on an islet loved by divers for the many marine species and the fantastic seabed. For the ones who want to live the emotion of apnea, as instructors we will accompany you in a breathtaking dive to let you discover your hidden potential! For the ones who prefer relax, there is the possibility to admire the splendid landscape while snorkeling or simply taking a bath. Porec is a famous summer destination on the Istrian coast, the peninsula of Western Croatia. In the historical old town, the Euphrasius Basilica (6^th century) is famous for the Byzantine mosaics full of gems. The coast on the north and south welcomes visitors with camping areas, little touristic ports and perfect beaches for water sports. Some six kilometers inland from the coast, Baredine Cave will surprise you with its stalactites.

We set sail for Umag but not before doing some tuffo in the beautiful crystal clear sea. After clearing customs, we will sail to the departure marina. Return to port is scheduled for late afternoon.

Disembarkation is scheduled in the early morning after breakfast.
