Your cruise
Sail a catamaran in the Gulf of Kvarner, between the Istrian and Dalmatian peninsulas.
This gulf will delight you with its heteroglyphic charm. Surrounded by mountains, the Gulf of Kvarner will seduce you with its various islands.
It's an ideal mix of wild places and villages to visit! On the other hand, this cruise does involve quite a long sail on some days, especially Day 2.

You can reach Pula from Paris by plane. Arriving in Pula, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the Veruda marina.
We spent 2 nights at the port, 2 nights in a bay with murky waters close to the port. I was mainly interested in snorkeling, and disappointed by the seabed, even in the reserve: there's very little underwater life. The tour wasn't at all what I expected, but it was good all the same. The skipper, a Swiss-German, was very professional and friendly, but didn't know the area at all. Perhaps we could have avoided the two nights in the murky bay if he had known the sites. The crew members, who came as a family and were all German, were also very nice, but conversations in English were rather limited due to the language barrier. If you're looking for conversations with crew members and beautiful seabeds, Corsica seems more appropriate to me.
We were supposed to be a maximum of 8, but we found out a few days before departure that there would be 9 of us. We were supposed to have a private bathroom, but it was shared. Skippair offered us a cancellation with a refund or a reduction of €100 per person. When we arrived at the port in Pula, we weren't on the passenger list. The person from Skippair was very reactive and present to arrange the situation. The fridge was broken when we arrived and was repaired on Sunday morning. The dinghy broke down and 2 people had to join the catamaran on Monday morning for repairs. It's a bit amateurish on Wolfgang's side, though.
Despite these setbacks, we had an excellent week's sailing thanks to the good will and enthusiasm of all participants. Many thanks to Stephan, our skipper.
1. Too long sailing per day. The goal of the holiday was to discover the country and its numerous places, not make a sailing school course. In reality, we had 7-8 hours sailing per day, late arrival, thus, not enough time to make visits to the islands. 2. I would recommend reviewing the program, as not the best places were included in the trip 3. Would be good to get more detailed information on the boat possibilities BEFORE the trip. We have paid private bathroom, but, in fact6, on the first day of the trip, it was announced that usage of the bathroom/ WC is very much limited. Still don't understand why we had to pay extra for the service that was not provided in full. As a resume, it was not our first catamaran experience, but it was definitely different. I would admit that the best way of motivating people to make catamaran tours again, is to keep a smart combination of numerous activities and comfort. Unfortunately, we were lacking activities and didn't get the comfort expected.
