  • This is a mountain biking and sailing tour at its finest—days spent riding island trails, nights aboard a luxurious sailboat with everything you need within arm’s reach. Exploring Croatia this way brings the coastline, food, and history right up close, far from the usual crowds. We’ll sail between islands in comfort, then jump onto rocky and macadam paths once used by farmers and ancient Greeks. These routes wind through forgotten villages, past old monasteries, along sweeping ridgelines, and down to quiet beaches few travellers ever discover. With years of guiding here, we know these islands inside out—and we’ll lead you straight to the very best of them.

    • Renting a private charter means stepping onto a luxurious floating home designed entirely around your group. Your catamaran, the stunning Aura 51, offers spacious lounges, elegant cabins with ensuite bathrooms, and the comforts of a high-end boutique stay. Every element is fully customized: pace, daily mileage, difficulty level, routes, swims, meals, and downtime—all shaped around your preferences and fitness.

      Your skipper and two expert local guides handle everything on the water and on land. They’ll craft a bespoke itinerary, recommend the most scenic anchorages, guide you to quiet coves or lively beach towns, and ensure you’re always stocked with supplies. Privacy, adventure, food hotspots, nightlife—it’s all adjusted to your group’s style.

      Once you share your preferred dates, we’ll send tailored pricing and available options. Before payment, you’ll receive a full charter agreement and invoice. The price includes two experienced MTB guides with deep local knowledge, an expert skipper, and 8 days of exploring Croatia by sailboat and mountain bike. You’ll stay 7 nights on a luxurious, spacious catamaran, enjoy traditional Croatian breakfasts each morning, and have 4 cooked meals arranged in any lunch-to-dinner ratio you prefer. Also included are fruit, snacks, and water for daily outings, water and juice on board, welcome drinks with local wine and craft beer, plus sheets and towels, harbour fees, and boat fuel.

      Final price depends on dates, upgrades, and add-ons—and since the yacht comfortably accommodates up to 8 people, inviting family or friends not only elevates the experience but also reduces the cost per person.

    • Please note: this is a fully private MTB & sailboat experience. The catamaran comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests—and the more people you bring, the lower the cost per person becomes.

    • With our luxury catamaran as home base, we’re free to roam Croatia’s sunny Dalmatian coast and hop between its most beautiful islands. Each day we explore new trails, towns, and hidden spots with two expert local guides and a skipper leading the way. Here are some of the places we’ll visit together.

        • Trogir — A UNESCO-listed harbor town where medieval streets, St. Lawrence Cathedral, and the Kamerlengo Fortress set the scene. Ride easy coastal trails or playful singletracks with views of Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque landmarks—a perfect introduction to Dalmatia.
        • Brač — The largest island in Central Dalmatia, blending big views and true backcountry charm. Beginners enjoy flowing scenic routes, while advanced riders tackle technical climbs to Vidova Gora. Descend past the cliff-carved Blaca Monastery and finish with a swim or cocktail at the iconic Zlatni Rat beach.
        • Hvar — Settled by the ancient Greeks, Hvar offers lavender fields, sparkling coastlines, and trails for every skill level. Ride toward Stari Grad, sip wine in cliffside Sveta Nedjelja, and dive into Hvar’s legendary nightlife—all wrapped in stunning Mediterranean scenery.
        • Vis — Once a closed military island, Vis invites you into its secret past. Explore WWII bunkers and underground tunnels, descend from Mount Hum through vineyards and stone walls, or follow peaceful shepherd’s paths across the island’s untouched interior.
        • Omiš / Čiovo / Korčula — Omiš delivers everything from beginner-friendly trails to dusty ridge-line singletracks in a dramatic canyon landscape. Čiovo offers relaxed coastal riding and hidden coves perfect for swimming breaks, while Korčula brings forested trails, charming old towns, and vineyard views for a more cultural spin.
    • 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).

    • Renting a charter boat means you have the freedom to make your own schedule and go wherever the wind and desire take you. Charter offers additional flexibility and custom itinerary adapted to your group, as well as a chance to upgrade to a bigger sailboat. You have a choice between three superb boats: the Saba 50 and Aura 51, accommodating 8 guests throughout 4 double cabins, or Lagoon 46, accommodating 6 guests in 3 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. Before payment, you’ll receive a full charter agreement and invoice. The price includes two experienced MTB guides with deep local knowledge, an expert skipper, and 8 days of exploring Croatia by sailboat and mountain bike. You’ll stay 7 nights on a luxurious, spacious catamaran, enjoy traditional Croatian breakfasts each morning, and have 4 cooked meals arranged in any lunch-to-dinner ratio you prefer. Also included are fruit, snacks, and water for daily outings, water and juice on board, welcome drinks with local wine and craft beer, plus sheets and towels, harbour fees, and boat fuel.

      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!

    • 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.

    • Don’t worry about transporting your bikes to Croatia! You can rent a mountain bike or an e-bike with your guides, but we warmly suggest renting an e-bike—this is your vacation, and you should enjoy it without overdoing it. But your guide will still keep you challenged, no worries about that! You can rent the following bikes at an additional cost:

        • Standard MTB — Trek Fuel EX 5 (S-XL)
        • Premium MTB — Santa Cruz Hightower (S-XL)
        • Standard e-MTB — Focus Sam²  (S-XL)
        • Light e-MTB — Focus Jam² (S-L)
        • Premium e-MTB — Specialized Turbo Levo  (XS-XXL)

      Please leave us a note at checkout if interested in renting a bike. Prices start from 350 EUR per person for the entire week.

    • 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!
