Friends laughing on a sailboat off the Croatian coast
A weekend at sea

Bachelorette weekends in Croatia.

A small boat, a small group, three or four days between islands. The opposite of a party-bus weekend — closer to a very good holiday for people who like each other.

Not every bachelorette needs a nightclub. The ones we plan are quieter by design: a sailboat or a small gulet, six to twelve friends, three or four days of moving slowly between islands. Swims, long lunches, one bigger evening somewhere along the way. Everyone comes home rested, which is unusual for the genre.

The shape of it

  • Board Thursday evening in Split, Trogir or Šibenik
  • Wake up in a bay, swim before breakfast
  • Sail a short leg, lunch at anchor
  • Ashore for dinner in a village where the boat is the only one at the pier
  • Home by Sunday evening, actually rested

What we handle

Boat and crew, the route, food on board, restaurant reservations we'd have made for our own friends, and the small surprises for the person the trip is for — quietly, so she doesn't have to plan her own party.

Not looking to travel far?

Then this probably isn't the right page. What we do only makes sense if the point of the weekend is actually to leave — the boat, the coast, the shift in mood. If that's what you're picturing, write us.

Common questions

How big is a group, usually?

Six to twelve. Any smaller and the boat feels empty; any larger and the group splits into camps by day two. A gulet can carry up to twenty comfortably if you want to go bigger.

How long?

Three or four days is the sweet spot. Long enough to actually slow down, short enough that everyone can still take the time off. We usually board on a Thursday and are home by Sunday evening.

What's included?

Boat, captain, sometimes a hostess. Food on board or at small konobas ashore. Route planning around your group. A quiet first night, a bigger night somewhere along the way, and a lot of swimming in between.
