Sailing around the Dalmatian Islands is so delightful, particularly between the months of May to October. Swimming and snorkelling in the azure jade green crystal clear waters of the Adriatic is also something not to be missed. The Dalmatian waters are very crystal clear, clean and healing.

There is a huge range of yachts, timber gulets, and cruise boats to suit all budgets, from the more simple and inexpensive to the mega super-yachts and motor cruisers at super prices.

There are a number of boats that I personally love and can very happily recommend to my clients. The important thing is to not only choose a beautiful vessel, you also need a great crew to take good care of you.

Cruises on motor yachts are extremely popular, accommodating up to 30 guests, sailing to many islands, sheltered coves, and offering excursions along the way visiting villages and meeting the locals. Wine tastings at the vineyards, artists in their galleries, visiting artisan producers of olive oil, cheeses, and the fresh produce markets, not forgetting time to explore, browse and immerse yourself in all this coastal region has to offer.

Sometimes it’s not enough to simply charter a beautiful yacht. The important part is knowing that you also have an excellent crew! On SY STANE, we are pleased to inform you that Jenna Gradecak has joined well-known skipper Branimir Veza as a chef/hostess on board. Branimir (Brani) has skippered in the Mediterranean, Cuba, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand, while Jenna just finished the 25th ARC Atlantic Rally for Cruisers on board the Croatian SY Dora – Beneteau 57 (1st in 1b Cruiser Division and 3rd overall).
