You’ve seen images of the crystal-clear waters in Croatia, the islands and sailing but what does a day on a Gulet really look like? What can you expect when you sail in Croatia? Let us paint a picture of a typical day at sea aboard your luxury yacht or gulet.

The unparalleled Pelješac is located on Croatia’s southern coast and is the second-largest peninsula behind Istria. Halfway between Split and Dubrovnik, Pelješac narrowly runs from the town of Ston to the top of Cape Lovište and is 65 kilometers long (or 80 nautical miles).
