Boat trip along Sud of Pula

Great day out, would 100% recommend
Great day out with a great skipper. We got to choose what we did, so a bit of snorkeling, visited Dino island and a beach bar for lunch it was! Kids had a fab time, as did the adults!
B
Fabulous day on the sea
Fabulous day trip, the skipper was so welcoming and very knowledgeable. We tailored our day from the choices he provided to what we wanted to see. Went to dino island and the kids (9 years old) absolutely loved it, well worth a stop. Stopped at various places up and down the coast, the 8 hours and the flew by. I would recommend this trip, the skipper was fantastic and we definitely do this again on our return.

Incredible sailing say
Absolutely incredible day! Our skipper Paul was excellent and gave us information about what parts of the coast we could go to and allowed us to pick our route for the day. He was friendly and chatty. Drinks and food onboard were really lovely too. A 10/10 day that really was the best day of our holiday! Huge thanks to Andrej who sorted us out for rearranging since the weather didn’t look too great on our original day. Reorganising was extremely easy! Would 100% reccommend

Great day out
A perfect day that was tailor made to our requirements. Parvo was a great skipper, very friendly and knowledgeable with the most impressive English. GoPro was a great touch.

Unforgettable 8h
Super nice 8h sailing tour for the whole family. There were five of us (2 adults and 18-, 14- and 11-year-old child) with skipper Pavao on the sea with unforgettable sunset 🫶🏼

8 hour beautiful sailing tour!
Went on a full day tour 8 hours with Pavoa. He customized our trip and made a beautiful experience. He was a young but very experienced sailor, full control all the way. Nice!

Wow! Crazy good time!
This was a really fun and beautiful trip! Pavo was a great boat guide. Really like a dream! Flexible and cheap. You only need to bring sunscreen and a smile.

Different perspective of Pula! Loved it!
We took a Private 8 hours trip, it was great! We loved it!! He took us to different swimming spots and always consulting us if we wanted to go to other places. They offered variety of drinks and various plates of Istrian cheeses and hams. Would definitely recommend it, a different way to see Pula.
