Pick an island
Among 1244 Croatian islands, the constellation of the Central Dalmatian ones, spread out before Split, is a true paradise for foodie sailors. Brač, Hvar, Šolta… each island is very unique, and picking just one might be the greatest challenge of the day.
Your female captain is a chef, too
In the company of your youthful and highly experienced skipper, who is also a very creative chef, explore the feel and the flavors of the Adriatic coast. Ivona is at home here and knows all the secret bays and secluded beaches so you will enjoy a very private experience of the unspoiled Adriatic.
Cook and sail
Enjoy the open sails, the stunning landscapes and the divine wine, then find a bay to anchor in and roll up your sleeves. From fresh fish, seasonal fruits and veggies to herbs like sea fennel, options are innumerable and the choice is all yours. Don’t let Ivona’s relaxed cooking style fool you: this magical woman might just dive in and whip up some ingredients straight from the sea bottom!
That’s how we roll in Dalmatia
This cooking class experience packs in the true essence of Dalmatia: crystal clear waters, wind in your sails, swimming and snorkeling, good times with some simple seafood and wine. If you lived here, this would happen at least once a week. Consider it.
