Kornati National Park is often mentioned as “nautical paradise” thanks to its incomparable and unique beauty. And really, in “slalom” sailing through the an archipelago of 89 unforgettable islands, islets and reefs in the Kornati National Park, you will enjoy so much that you would come back again.
They have a true summer “olive climate”, warm with hot and dry summers, and some rain in the autumn. If you would like to, we can explore fields, paths, and charming stone walls on islands. But as they are accessable only by boat there is never crowd. There are no residents on the Kornati islands, making it a wild destination for exploring.
Kornati National park is open throughout the whole year so whenever you book this adventure, you will enjoy the stunning silence and peace. If you don’t like being in very bright and hot sun, book this adventure in spring or autumn.
Experience a true sailing adventure towards National Park Kornati. Sleep on a yacht, watch the stars on the sky in the evening. Try local food and wine.

We will meet in marina in the morning where the yacht is moored.
After safety briefing we will offer you welcome drink as local aperitif. Once we set sails I will teach you why yacht sails and give you basic sailing course. If that does not interest you, you can lay down and enjoy the wind in your hair. Later on we will anchor in a natural bay to refresh ourselves by swimming in a crystal clear water. Later on, sailing further towards beautiful bay and cute local tavern where we will stop for lunch. You will try traditional domestic sea food, probably the most fresh you have ever eaten (if you do not eat fish we have different menues). After lunch we will set sails towards Kornati islands and stay in a bay for overnight. Once anchored for the night you can take a swim in the night, while listening planktons. We will have dinner in a restaurant where you will try Peka, which is an absolute top dish in Dalmatia. Peka is a Baked dish with Veal or Octopus (both versions are briliant) and vegetables made in a pot or a tray, the pot is put into the embers of a fireplace. Just before going to sleep we will have a wine tasting and enjoy the stars on a sky. Next day we will sail through Kornati islands and its 89 small reefs. Fish lunch will be served. Later some more swiming and setting sails back to experience gorgeous sunset just before finishing our trip in Zadar.
