Sailing trip with a skipper · Jadrija waterfront
This 2-hour trip leaves the Jadrija waterfront as the light softens and sails out among the islands of the Šibenik archipelago, with the engine off and sails up when conditions allow. Book it for an easy, unhurried evening: guests describe it as just right for sailing novices, and one trip met dolphins.
Some tours fill your day. This one ends it. You meet at Jadrija VIII 9 on the Jadrija waterfront in the late afternoon and head out along the Šibenik coast into the archipelago. As the sun drops, the Adriatic turns from blue to orange and pink. When conditions allow, the skipper switches off the engine and raises the sails, and the boat goes quiet.
Guests name the skipper Josip in every written review, and they mention his stories about the islands, the forts and Croatian life. One guest mentions his daughter Elena on board; another says they saw dolphins. Several were first-time sailors and say it was the right introduction. The trip lasts 2 hours, so you are back at Jadrija with the last light on the horizon and time for dinner.
Food and drinks are not included, so bring what you want for the evening. The listing says it is not suitable for people prone to seasickness. With 5.0 stars from 7 reviews it is a newer listing, but every review is glowing. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

★★★★★We had the pleasure of enjoying the sunset tour with Josip. As sailing novices, it was just right for us! [...] It made us want to do more, and if the opportunity arises, we would love to go on a longer tour. Thank you!
★★★★★This was an absolutely stellar sailing excursion. Great communication from the host family, a special drink, and the perfect amount of history of the islands, forts, & Croatian culture. Captain Josip shared great stories & his daughter Elena was charming, smart & also very kind.
★★★★★Great sailing trip into the sunset! Our skipper Josip took great care of us and told us a lot about the region and its history. Truly an experience. Thanks again!
