From just a few hours to a full day or even multi-day adventures, every tour is tailored to your wishes – you set the vibe, we bring it to life!

Our Archipelago - Pula, NP Brijuni, Fasana, Medulin, Liznjan

Pula’s coastline stretches over 40 kilometers, unveiling hidden coves, lush islands, and landmarks that reveal the heart and soul of the city. For us, sailing isn’t just a tour – it’s a way of life. Our skippers, born and raised in Pula, know every bay, breeze, and current like the back of their hand. If you want to truly experience Pula from the sea, sail with those who live it every day. Our journey may begins at Fratarski Island, a beloved local getaway, then sails past the islands of Frasker and Fraskeric. On a day Tour we may continue on to the dramatic cliffs of Verudela Canyon, a striking natural formation best seen from the sea. Just beyond, you'll find the iconic Sacred Rock (Sveta Stijena), originally built as a movie set, now a breathtaking landmark rising from the coast. Next, we sail past Muzil, a former military zone still cloaked in mystery, with wild cliffs, hidden bunkers, and untouched nature – a place few have the privilege to experience up close. Along the way, you’ll pass sites where generations of locals spent their summers, diving from the rocks and pushing the limits of adventure.
To the northwest, the view opens up toward Brijuni National Park, a magical archipelago of 14 islands with approx. 50 km of coastline. Known for its lush greenery, rich history, and crystal-clear waters, sailing near Brijuni offers a peaceful yet awe-inspiring experience, where nature and culture blend seamlessly. South of Pula, the Municipality of Medulin continues the coastal story, adding over 80 kilometers of deeply indented shoreline. From the tranquil Soline Bay to the rugged beauty of Cape Kamenjak, this area offers endless inspiration for Day sailing – with quiet coves, vibrant marine life, and breathtaking views. Sail with locals who grew up in these waters – and experience Pula & Medulin archipelago the way we do.

Here's what our guests had to say about their experience

Exceptional Experience. We booked a “basic” sailing trip and our skipper taught us all the details how to set the sails and let us try to sail the boat. The skipper provided a very laid back, easy going atmosphere, with a feeling of going sailing with the mates. 10/10, would recommend!

Markus - Italy

Our family of four adults had a fantastic six-hour sailing experience with Adrinaut Sailing. From the easy booking and information exchange to a super convenient parking spot, and on to an amazing sailing experience, I would highly recommend this with Adrinaut. Our skipper Matija was very knowledgeable and engaging while exhibiting superb sailing skills, which made our sunset sail (and swimming) an experience of a lifetime. Bring your own snorkeling equipment! Thank you, and we can’t wait to sail with you again!

Kristin - Virginia - USA

We were a group of five, and from the very beginning, the sailing tour exceeded all our expectations. Our skipper, Matija, was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience truly special. We enjoyed the tour so much that we decided to book another one. Thank you, Matija, for these unforgettable moments at sea – my family had a wonderful time. See you next year!

Tadija - Florida - USA

Sailing with the company Sailing Pula Adrinaut was Fantastic. The family tried everything to organize us a unforgettable tour “last minute”. Open and frank in the communication as possible. Matija was our young sailor and he showed a responsibility and loads of experience in Sailing. We had a great time, we felt comfortable and safe. The boat is clean and in fantastic condition! Lucky as we even saw some dolphins. Thanks an again for this unforgettable afternoon, we wish Matija and his family all the best und we only can recommend them. 5 STARS!

Lambert - Germany

Absolutely amazing experience. It was my Birthday and to have a private tour was an amazing idea! Our Captain Matija made our journey safe and very professional!
We enjoyed every second of the trip, especially when we opened sales, magical. Everything was so good that even dolphins came up next to the yacht. We were offered drinks, and Matija also took pictures and videos. Cannot explain how good it was! What is very important is that we were able to take our dog to the yacht! I highly recommend this family business, where people are so passionate about what they do. You will love each inch of your journey as we did! Sunset is the best time 😍 Hope to come back ❤️

Olena - Ukraina

Absolutely awesome! I booked a sailing yacht with a one-man crew to take my partner and me out for a private six-hour sailing experience. We got to learn to tie knots – hoist sails – steer, and some basic tack and jibe moves. Great conversation, very accommodating, absolutely couldn’t have asked for more

Katie - UK

A wonderful trip and an incredibly great experience, sailing with a professional. Captain Matija, was fantastic, and we felt relaxed right away and simply enjoyed the tour. When we saw dolphins, he immediately turned around to see them up close again. A lasting memory. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts, and we will definitely come back.

FAQ

Are Adrinaut sailing tours for me? Do I need any sailing experience to join your tours?

Our sailing tours are suitable for everyone—whether you’re an experienced sailor or stepping onto a sailboat for the very first time. No previous sailing experience or special skills are required.

Every tour is tailored to the wishes and preferences of our guests. If you’d like to spend more time sailing, swimming in crystal-clear bays, snorkeling, relaxing in the sun, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery, we’ll adapt the itinerary to create the perfect experience for you.

Our goal is to make your time on board enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable, no matter your age or experience.

Just come aboard, relax, and enjoy the sea—we’ll take care of the rest.

Are Adrinaut sailing tours suitable for children?

Yes! Our sailing experiences are suitable for guests of all ages. Over the years, we have welcomed couples, families with young children, groups of friends, and senior guests. We’ve even had expectant mothers join us after consulting with their healthcare provider.

Our skippers grew up on the sea and have been sailing since childhood.

Can I bring my dog?

Well-behaved pets are welcome to join the adventure. If you plan to bring your pet, please let us know in advance so we can ensure the best possible experience for everyone on board.

What should I bring on board?

We recommend bringing a few essentials to make your sailing experience as comfortable as possible:

Swimwear and a towel, especially during the summer season
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat with a strap, so it stays secure in the wind
Comfortable clothes suitable for the weather conditions
A light jacket or windbreaker, especially for early morning or late afternoon tours
A camera or phone to capture your memories

For safety and comfort on board, we recommend non-slip shoes or going barefoot while sailing. Please avoid shoes with plastic or dark soles that may leave marks on the deck.

Most importantly, bring your good mood and a spirit of adventure — we’ll take care of the rest!

During our regular private tours (2–6 hours), regardless of the departure time, fresh drinking water is always included.

You are welcome to bring anything else you would like to enjoy on board — food, drinks, or anything you would normally bring to your own boat. We have space in the fridge, so feel free to make yourself comfortable and enjoy the experience your way.

Do you have sonrkeling equipment or a SUP on board?

Yes, we provide snorkeling equipment (masks with snorkels) on board for our guests to enjoy swimming and exploring the beautiful Pula archipelago when we anchor.

A SUP is also available. Since our boat is a performance cruiser, our main focus is on providing you a genuine sailing experience – enjoying the feeling of the wind, the sails, and the boat’s sailing performance.

Will we actually sail?

Yes! Sailing is at the heart of our tours. Our yacht is equipped with high-quality sails and is designed to perform well even in light winds, allowing us to enjoy sailing whenever conditions permit. The engine is used only when necessary, while the focus is on providing an authentic and relaxing sailing experience. We regularly organize and participate in local regattas (Open & ORC).

Is there a difference between Boats and Skippers? What is uniqueness at Adrinaut Sailing?

Not every sailing experience is the same. Many sailing trips are designed primarily as sightseeing tours, where sailing is only one part of the experience. Depending on the boat and the weather, the engine may be used for most of the Sailing tours.

At Adrinaut Sailing, sailing is at the heart of our tours.

At Adrinaut Sailing, sailing means setting the sails and using the power of the wind. Our engine is used only when necessary for safety or when there is no wind.

Our B. Match Race 35 is a true performance sailing yacht, originally designed for racing and built to deliver exceptional sailing performance while remaining comfortable for day cruising. Even in light winds, she is designed to sail efficiently and provide the feeling of genuine sailing.

Just as important as the boat are the skipper too.

Our skippers are not only licensed professionals—they are passionate local sailors who actively race in regattas and have spent years sailing the Adriatic. They know how to read the wind, trim the sails, and share the excitement of real sailing with every guest.

If you’re looking for more than a boat ride, you’ll feel the difference from the moment we leave the harbour. Sail like a Local and Feel like a Sailor is authentic local experience.

Sail like a local. Feel like a Sailor. Are we sailing with a local sailor or just a certified skipper?

At Adrinaut Sailing, we don’t just take you out on the sea—we invite you to experience it the way we have all our lives.

Our skipper is a local sailor who has spent almost his entire life on the water. Raised in a sailing family, he grew up exploring the Adriatic with his parents, spending every summer cruising the Croatian coast and often living aboard for weeks at a time. Today, he is an active regatta sailor, combining years of experience with a genuine passion for sailing.

If you’ve ever wanted to take the helm, help hoist the sails, or learn how to trim them, you’re in excellent hands. Whether you simply want to relax or become part of the sailing experience, you’re always welcome to join in.

Every bay, every island, and every sailing route we choose is part of our own story. We know these waters not from guidebooks, but from a lifetime spent living on them.

We didn’t come here to build a tourist business—we were born here. This is our home, and sharing the beauty of our coastline, our sailing traditions, and our way of life with our guests is what inspires us every day.

Join us for an authentic sailing experience and discover the Adriatic through the eyes of a local sailor.
