A maybe-trip

CroatiaAugust 1–8, 2026

A week on the Adriatic — sailing the Dalmatian coast on a skippered catamaran with 10–12 of us. Mornings on the water, swims off the boat, anchorages on Hvar, Vis, Brač. Land in Split, untie the lines, see what August does.

A few honest notes:

Final price scales with how many of us actually go — fewer people = more boat per head.
Ranges assume August 1–8. A week earlier or later can shave 10–20%.
Not included: travel insurance, anything you buy that isn't food, sunscreen.
