DISCOUNT on the July 19 departure
This isn’t your typical sailing vacation consisting solely of coves and swimming. Here, the journey truly begins on the open sea: crossing the Adriatic takes time, a willingness to adapt, and a desire to spend many hours at sea, with the wind setting the pace and the horizon stretching out before us. That’s precisely why arriving at the Kornati Islands Nature Park feels different: we’ve earned it. And when the Kornati Islands come into view, with their unadorned landscape, pale rocks, quiet bays, and crystal-clear water, we immediately understand why they’re considered one of the most special archipelagos. The value of this route lies entirely here: in the raw beauty of the islands, in the satisfaction of the crossing, and in the convenience of setting off from San Benedetto del Tronto—easy to reach and perfect for setting sail toward Croatia without overcomplicating the trip’s logistics. The Kornati aren’t just visited: they’re reached, traversed, and experienced.
