Big Blue Sailing

Hello Everyone
We wanted to update you about our sailing trips in Croatia coming up this fall.
The first of the 2 trips is full and we have space for you to join us on the second trip out of Split, from October 4th to 10th.

You can go to our website link (found in the comments below) to find out more information. You can also contact Paul via the website, with any questions.

The excitement grows as we get closer to the dates of our next adventure abroad. It would be great fun to have you come along.

See you on the water!!

We have begun 'planning' our Croatia trip for this coming fall.
This adventure will be much different from Greece, which is very exciting.

The biggest difference is that there are SO MANY potential spots to visit on the Dalmatian Coast and we thought we'd ask you for your input as to what would be of interest to you.

We are looking at two potential routes from Split - one to the island of Vis and the other, the island of Korcula. Both trips will have several stops in between and from what we've researched so far, exploring the Dalmatian islands by boat is really the way to go!

The trip to Vis includes the potential to visit caves - Blue &/or Green in addition to some very cool places (where Momma Mia 2 was filmed).

The trip to Korcula, includes exploring Korcula city (also referred to as Little Dubrovnik). There are also some amazing beaches en route including those on the Paklinski Islands.

There is more that we could share however we will keep it simple. The actual routes for both trips will depend on the winds of course. What we do know is that wherever we land each afternoon, there will be something cool to explore.

So let us know your thoughts. Is it Vis or Korcula, or both?

Cheers

Having fun at the Vancouver boat show.
Meeting up with our community of friends and colleagues.
The highlight for Paul though???

We had lunch today with a colleague who has sailed in Croatia many times.
On a rainy winter day, it was fun to do some visioning regarding our upcoming trips out of Split, beginning September 26th. Thank you Marla for your time, wisdom and energy xo.

We thought we'd share a few images of islands we are looking to visit.
If you are interested in joining us let us know!

See you on the water!

Well it's been quite a year and we can't believe it's December already!
There are a few things that we wanted to share in this post:

Firstly thank you to everyone who was a part of our 2025 sailing world. We continue to be so grateful for our sailing community that grows with each new season. Getting to meet other people who share our passion for sailing and being in nature is such a blessing. Thank you all again!

We look forward to the 2026 season where we will get to meet new sailing enthusiasts. We may also see some of you again as you take a next level course. On this note, the new schedule for 2026 is now up and available for you to book into online.

2025 also saw us host our first trips abroad in Greece and we had such fun hosting our guests on these adventures.
We are excited to share that our next trips for fall of 2026 will find us sailing in Croatia.

Wishing you all a wonderful winter season.
