What started as a thought that ten friends would bare-boat charter in the BVI became the charter of a 110' gullet with a captain and crew in Croatia. The evolution of the decision steps are not important but the experience was priceless.
We started with a long flight from BWI to Dubrovnik via Heathrow. We had several days to explore the historic city of Dubrovnik, something I recommend if you are making the trip. It is a beautiful, safe, clean, and perhaps overcrowded with tourist, city.
The cruise began in Dubrovnik when we met the Dolce Vita, a locally built 110' sailing gullet. The captain, Tome, and crew could not have been more welcoming and fun over the duration of the cruise.
From Dubrovnik we cruise the quiet anchorages and small towns north and east along the Adriatic coast of Croatia ending in the larger port city of Split. After a bit of rain to start the weather was ideal, the ports of call nearby and the food excellent, thanks to our onboard chef, Boris.
