To give you the flexibility to choose the food and drink that you prefer, we don't include these items in our packages. However, our yacht is equipped with a kitchenette that includes a gas stove, fridge, oven, and kettle, so you can prepare your own meals while on board. We recommend that you bring your own food and drink before boarding, which you can easily purchase from the supermarket in Marina Dalmacija or in any of the islands we visit. This way, you can pick out exactly what you'll need for your perfect lunch at sea. In the evenings, you'll have a wide variety of restaurant options to choose from.

Check-in begins at 4pm on Saturday at Marina Dalmacija, and we kindly ask that all our passengers disembark by 9am on the following Saturday so that we have time to clean and prepare the yacht for the next group.
