MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN VELIBOR:
-
Leading our voyage with 20+ years of experience. Velibor grew up watching his dad as Captain of the many fishing and freight boats that used to sail up and down this coast line before tourism started here in the mid 2000's. Now Velibor and 3 of his brothers are all Captains following in their fathers footsteps.
​

Ready to assist you with any requests throughout your journey, we have a crew of 7 on board.

THE WEEK AHEAD
DAY SHEETS:
-
Every morning the daily itinerary will be on display on the dining room window. Your Koda Sail rep will go over everything each day at lunch and explain in more details
WEEKLY OVERVIEW SHEET:
-
If you want to know what is coming up for the rest of the week, we also have a weekly overview sheet on the same window.
DEPARTURE TIME:
-
We can be told from Port Authorities to move on as early as 530am, so always be back on board before then.
NAUTICAL NIGHT:
-
Check out the Weekly overview sheet for when the Nautical Night is. The theme is Nautical, so anything Blue, White or striped works well. Find yourself a captains hat and you're all sorted!
​
EMBRACING CROATIA
SLOW PACE:
-
Embrace the leisurely pace of life here in Croatia. Things may not always happen on time, but that’s part of the charm. By the end of the week you'll get to understand why there never seems to be a rush with anything and start taking that same approach. Once you get there, it's hard to snap out of. Good luck back in the office!!
FLEXIBILITY:
-
Be prepared for some flexibility in schedules and plans. Enjoy the spontaneity and make the most of each moment. We are at the mercy of the Port Authorities at each port. They dictate timings and if boats need to be re-directed. In all the tours we've done over the 10+ years, not one week has been the same!
RELAX AND ENJOY:
-
​Relax, unwind, and immerse yourself in the unique experiences and beautiful scenery. Leave all the planning up to us and just turn up :)
