About the Event
An unforgettable adventure for the whole family! It’s hard to find anyone who didn’t dream of a real adventure as a child: finding yourself in a distant, unknown world, taking the helm of a ship, trusting the winds and currents and setting off for a mysterious island.
Today, together with parents, we help turn childhood dreams into reality. We offer you a journey full of beauty and impressions: a week-long yacht trip along the coast of Croatia! In 7 days you’ll cover more than 100 nautical miles (180 km), see many islands, visit several picturesque towns and admire Croatia’s scenery not only from land but also from the sea.
What will the kids do?
During all passages at sea, as well as in the evenings ashore, our counselors run children’s activities based on the “Marco Polo’s Map of Wonders” program.
This educational program for children aged 6 to 12 was developed by professional educators and inspired by Marco Polo’s “Book of the Marvels of the World.” It aims to develop communication, cognitive and creative skills, as well as the ability to work in a team. The program includes learning useful sailing skills, lots of games, creative contests, an exciting ropes course and a thrilling quest. Each day is dedicated to a particular part of the world. To learn about all the wonders Marco Polo described, kids need to unravel his secrets and riddles and piece together the map of wonders. To do this, they’ll have to become real sailors, show agility and attentiveness and learn to trust their friends.
How much time on the water, how much ashore?
Here’s the daily routine: crews start the morning with energetic exercises on deck.
After breakfast and a swim (non-swimmers swim in special life vests), the yacht weighs anchor, leaves the harbor and sails until lunch.
After lunch and the “Admiral’s hour” (a quiet rest time), we liven up with games in the water, then the crew continues to the day’s destination.
Then (usually no later than 16:00) everyone goes ashore for the evening program and a walk around one of Croatia’s historic towns.
Dinner at a café or restaurant will also be possible.
