Charter offers additional flexibility and custom itinerary adapted to your group, as well as a chance to upgrade to a bigger sailboat. You will either board the Saba 50 or the Aura 51 sailboat, both accommodating 8 guests throughout 4 double cabins.

Your guides and skipper will help you create an itinerary that suits your travel needs and wishes. They will handle the boat for you and recommend routes and places to visit. They know where you can anchor and get supplies, find privacy or enjoy the Croatian party scene.

Let us know which dates work best for you and we will give you an estimate of the prices and options for that period. Prior to payment, we will send you a charter agreement and corresponding invoice. The price includes a skipper, two guides, fuel, harbor fees, cleaning, sheets and towels, breakfasts, 4 warm meals, and fruit, water and snacks for daily outings. There will be a fridge onboard filled with food you’ll eat for breakfast.

The final price of the tour depends on the chosen dates, possible upgrades and add-ons. Invite your family and friends who also love boating and reduce the cost per person!

This tour is beginner-friendly in terms of mountain biking, but at least some experience riding on gravel roads is a must, as well as a decent fitness level. You will need to be able to bike consistently on varied and sometimes steep terrain. Even the beginner tours will take you up to a height of 200 to 500 m (650-1,650 ft) above sea level. Remember, there’s no rush, and in case the trail is too challenging for you, you can always push your bike.

You will need to be able to bike consistently on varied and sometimes steep terrain on gravel roads. This tour will teach you all about Croatian undulation—you’re always either climbing or descending, with little to no flat ground.

First day, your guide will take you on a 10-mile/15-km trial tour to test your skills and fitness levels. The rest of the week, you will ride for 12-30 miles/20-50 km daily. You can also rent an e-bike to make things significantly easier!

There are rides ranging from natural blue to double black diamond trails. With two experienced guides, you can explore different types and levels of biking trails in the area. Split into two groups and mix & match the routes according to your skill and preference!

If you want to take a day or two off, feel free to stay on the catamaran or go on another outdoor adventure like hiking or kayaking (not included in the cost of the trip).

It is preferable you have some basic mountain biking experience, like riding on gravel roads. However, if you know how to cycle (this is a must) and have an adventurous spirit, your guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. And as there will be two guides onboard, you can split into two groups according to your skill and preference. Another option is that you simply spend the day on the boat or explore the islands on foot on your own. Also consider renting an e-bike, which will make things a lot easier!

If you’d prefer riding on paved roads, E-Bike and Sail Along the Croatian Coastline might just be what you were looking for. It’s an adventure led by the same guides, where you’ll get to visit the same islands as with this tour.

Yes! You can come with your friends and family and enjoy the Dalmatian coast together. Your children or other members of the family that don’t mountain bike can stay on the boat and relax under the Mediterranean sun or explore the shore on foot while you ride. There’s no age minimum if you’re coming on a private tour.

In case your family would rather pedal along paved roads, check out our Cycle and Sail tour in Croatia!

Dalmatia’s mild Mediterranean climate boasts perfect weather year-round. Tours are scheduled to fit with the seasons and ideal cycling conditions.

In the event of predictably bad weather, you will be contacted prior to the trip to discuss suitable alternatives.
