Elan
For those who need nothing more than the sea, good company and a cosy seat at the shared table.
Elan feels right
SEVEN NIGHTS UNDER SAIL
The sea. Good wine. Long dinners.
And people worth being quiet with.
Waking up not to an alarm,
but to coffee brewing on deck.
By day: sails, islands and salt air. Towards evening: a fresh shirt, a glass of white and a table by the water. As many plans as you like. As much quiet as you need.
We sail on ordinary sailing yachts. The good life here is made of simple things: good taste, the right company and nowhere to hurry to.
The small rituals of the week

09:00 / OR LATER
A warm cup, crusty bread and a little more time on deck. The first passage waits until everyone is up.
Olive oil. Fish from the fire.
The wine the host recommends.
A conversation you don’t want to end.

ON OUR WISH LIST
Ideas for dinners along the way. We’ll check seasonal opening and bookings before the trip. Food, wine and restaurants are paid separately.
By day — wind.
By night — wine.
In between — life.
We set sail from Pirovac — to a river, uninhabited islands, the stone Kornati and one beautiful evening in town. And back again.
PROVISIONAL PLAN / CHOOSE A DAY
We board, meet the skipper and each other. The first evening on board — no rush, no long passages.
Up the river to the old town: slow water, stone houses and a long dinner. A contrast to the open islands, not a scheduled tour.
The first real island miles. Quiet Strunac bay, dinner by the water and peka, if we arrange it with the hosts in advance.
A day among stone islands and open sea. The overnight spot, mooring and passage times depend on the weather, park rules and the skipper.
A bay, cliffs and the salt lake Mir. A place to linger — for a walk, a swim if the water and weather allow, or simply quiet on deck.
One evening in town all week: old streets, a good table and a glass of wine. In the morning we choose the sea again, not a hotel.
Back to the home marina. One day of the route stays flexible — we give it to the wind, a safe anchorage or a place we want to stay longer.
The route is provisional. Wind, sea state, mooring availability, park rules and safety always come before the order of stops.
Two sailing yachts, one philosophy for the week.
Each with its own skipper and its own crew.
For those who need nothing more than the sea, good company and a cosy seat at the shared table.

SIMPLE AND CLEAR
Three provisional dates.
Seven nights. Elan €850 · Dufour 56 €900.
Spring here is about sails, walks and light. In late April and early May the water is still cool and evenings call for a warm layer. Late May is usually warmer, but we don’t promise a warm sea or comfortable swimming.
BEFORE YOU GO
No. Each yacht has a professional skipper. You can take the helm under their guidance — or simply enjoy the journey.
Yes. We’ll talk about the crew and cabins before booking. It’s a small trip where people get to know each other around one table.
No. €850 / €900 covers the sailing programme. Food, drinks, wine, restaurants, flights, travel to the yacht and personal expenses are paid by each guest. Dinners ashore are optional.
No formal dress code. Linen, light knits and a favourite shirt set the mood. Bring non-slip shoes for the deck and a warm jacket for spring evenings.
In Pirovac, Croatia. We’ll share the exact marina, boarding time and travel tips once the yacht and dates are confirmed.
It happens. Let us know in advance so the skipper can plan around it. Discuss suitable remedies with your doctor before the trip.
No. It’s the start of a conversation. We’ll confirm dates, yacht, availability and terms — and you decide after that.
Leave your contact. We’ll talk about the week, the crew and how you like to unwind.
