- We are sailing in Croatia and living fulltime on our sailboat during 2021. We embark on a 30-day passage to explore Croatia from the very south to the northern Adriatic. We share some beautiful anchorages, marinas, unspoiled islands, great sites, and expenses along the way.
We recently quit our high-tech jobs in California, bought a sailboat, and moved to the Mediterranean. We are just starting our adventure of sailing around the world and experiencing life on a sailboat. In this sailing vlog 2021, we will share our experiences as a sailing couple on CZcams who spends our first year sailing extensively throughout the Croatian coast. We will document our experiences, travel discoveries, and costs throughout our sailing journey. Croatia offers some of the best sailings in the Mediterranean and Europe. We hope you will find the sailing passage in this video helpful.
Costs to moor, dock a 45’ boat sloop per day:

I will happily join others who have praised the map graphics in your videos. I don't know that previous videos have had captions, but they're blocking some of your graphic text at the bottom of the frame. And hey: where were the cameras at 4:00 a.m. in Vodice? You could be publishing a whole new class of videos... Just saying.
Thank you brother for the feedback. What is shown here is only a sliver of some interesting behavior we have seen so far. We need to click that record button more often 😁
My wife and I are happy to follow you. We are glad that you enjoy sailing in our Croatian part of the Adriatic. If you need help with the correct pronunciation of the place you are visiting, let us know, we will be happy to help you.
A month ago, we also bought an Elan Impression 45. It is moored at the Mandalina marina in Šibenik. Unlike yours this is the charter version and will be chartered during the season.
I hope we will have a chance to meet you somewhere.
Thank you for reaching out. We love Croatia. Our story was published in one of national newspapers couple months back. I believe it is called something like “journalists”. Unfortunately they did not mention our social channels to the readers which could be nice opportunity to connect with local sailors like yourself. Congrats on your new boat. Do keep in touch- we would love to meet.
I'm truly enjoying following your journey from the start so far, however, I have a slight problem with this video. I would have preferred if you had broken this one down into say 5x12 minute videos and focus each video on one town you visited with arrival and departure footage. I would enjoy seeing more street scenes, historical sites, marina facilities, shops, the restaurants you dined at and of course more shots of the food! My wife is a confirmed foodie and we would have loved to have seen what the meals were like. The Vodice segment was less than 20 seconds long and Split scenes was 30. Otherwise, I'm loving your selfie stick advice segments as those give us sound information we can all use. The Google Earth route graphics are very well done, music choice is perfect and the drone footage is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your feedback. This is great and exactly what we need. Truth is not only we are new to cruising, we also are new to filming and editing. Quite frankly we are learning both as we go. Your point is taken. Historic sites, cities, marinas, restaurants and food scene do deserve more frames. We also hope to post more frequently as we get better at both 🙂
Love your barbecue on the yacht 🍔
We love it so much we just renewed it this year.
Just booked Benetau 37 for one week in next october in Zadar. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. There is no doubt, have to see Skradin.
October is great time to charter in Croatia and visit that area. Let us know if we can be more help 😀
Thanks for the tips.
Hope it helps
One of my favorite passages - if not THE one in Croatia. Passing the former guarding fortress coming from the sea, narrow entrance until Sibenik (submarine bunkers to left and right) and then going up the river - mind the bridge!- (in places like a canyon) to Scradin. Wow effect always guaranteed.
We were nervous passing under the 2 bridges. More so under the power lines as the air clearance was not charted. Check out previous episode where we covered the passage up river.
@@SeaBeeSailing Send you an email =;o)))
@@QuadJournal1966 email received, thank you so much for the information.
Uncle owns vacation home from across the bunkers,went for a swim In the narrow entrance,huge yaht showed up,waters dragged me so fast . .it was fight for life,glad survived it.looking forward to sailing this summer ☀️ 🎉
Love this!!❤️❤️🙏🙏
I think the swans are not "checking in on you" - they are waiting for some food :). Curious if you had any challenges with sailing, no breeze etc?
i love your videos and make me super happy :) Only one question ? between minute 17:30 and 18:16 you have a super house song in your video. can you tell me maybe the name of the song ? Enjoy your beautiful life !
All our music is from epidemic sound. I looked into it but couldn’t find that particular song in my library- sorry. If I come across later I would leave a note here.
Great video! What was again the abbreviation of the membership, that helped you to cut down on those marina costs?
I am afraid it was a special ACI (marina chain in Croatia) ran during COVID. They do not offer the same deal this year
Great tips. Looks beautiful. When were you in Scradin? Are the falls less busy in certain months? Are the shellfish open for purchase all year long? Also, if you can include mooring ball and marina prices, that would be great!
Thank you. Please refer to ep6 and 7 descriptions for marina and mooring prices for the entire passage. We were in Scradin july 23 & 24. late September early October would be good time to visit. Not sure about the shellfish stands. Hope it helps
@@SeaBeeSailing yes, thanks. It makes me more hopeful that there would be less busy times to visit/explore esp via bike to those Falls. Thanks for the info. You guys are very comprehensive about the routes so appreciate that!
Curious: why is your dodger folded down? Better visibility? Easier main-sheet control?
Better visibility to sails
Türksünü sanırım aksanınızdan anladığım kadarıyla, iyi gezmeler:)
Merhabalar- rotamiz Anavatan bu sezon
What’s that white burger?
Truffle Bruger by Bubalus Burger Bar in Trogir. 😍. They also had one of the best beer selection I have seen in Croatia
Dalmatia and Istria, not Croatia
