When you imagine sailing in Croatia, you probably think of peaceful bays, crystal-clear waters, and sunset dinners on deck. And yes — it’s all that. But for those craving a dose of pure adrenaline and unforgettable laughs, there’s something else waiting for you: crazy fun tubing behind a speedboat! During your sailing trip with Alitis Yachting, you can do much more than just relax — you can fly across the waves on an inflatable tube, towed by a powerful speedboat, all while surrounded by the stunning Croatian coastline. What Is Tubing? Tubing is one of the most exciting water sports out there. You sit (or try to hold on!) on a big inflatable tube while a speedboat pulls you across the sea. The faster it goes, the wilder the ride. Expect bouncing, splashing, spinning, and tons of laughter — especially when someone wipes out in a spectacular splash! It’s the kind of fun that brings out everyone’s inner child, and it’s always a highlight of the trip. How Does It Work with Alitis Yachting? If your crew is in the mood for high-energy fun, your experienced skipper from Alitis Yachting can help arrange everything. In agreement with the guests, the skipper can organize the rental of a speedboat equipped for towing water toys like tubes. In some cases, the skipper may even take the wheel of the speedboat himself, ensuring a safe and exciting ride — all while knowing the best spots for smooth water, fewer crowds, and maximum fun. And the best part? You don’t have to worry about logistics — everything is arranged for you, so all you have to do is hold on and enjoy the ride! Why Add Tubing to Your Sailing Trip? It’s the perfect balance of relaxation and adrenaline Great for groups and families — everyone can take turns Incredible for photos and videos (trust us — you'll want to watch the wipeouts again!) Totally optional, but easy to arrange with your skipper A unique way to experience the Adriatic from a whole new angle A Day You'll Never Forget One moment you're lounging on the catamaran with a cocktail, and the next you’re skimming across the waves at full speed, screaming with laughter. It’s this contrast — calm sailing mornings and wild water afternoons — that makes a sailing holiday with Alitis Yachting so much more than just a boat trip. So if you're ready to take your Croatian sailing adventure to the next level, ask your skipper about adding some tubing action to the itinerary. You won’t regret it — but your arms might feel it the next day! Adventure. Laughter. Waves. Tubing with Alitis Yachting: Just one more reason you’ll want to come back.

Schooner Grounds in Span Water! The Utopia went aground just west of Ogdensburg International Bridge about 10 p.m. Monday while on the last leg of her trip around the world. The Auxiliary Schooner, sailing under the command of Captain Fred J. Peterson, left Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin on November 17th, 1956 for a trip around the world. The 65-foot ship is on her way home with seven people aboard. According to Robert Peterson, the son of the captain, the ship went aground just west of the New Bridge. Captain John Atherton, skipper of the Coast Guard Cutter White Lupine, went to the Schooner’s aid in the morning. The small powerboat off the Lupine, carried the anchor from the Utopia and the small ship came off under her own power. On the ship besides the captain were his son and daughter-in-law, who just went aboard 10 days ago. Mr. Peterson Jr. has been operating his father's ship building yard at Sturgeon Bay. He flew to Montreal to meet his father on his homecoming voyage. Others on the ship include Damayan Dunuwille from Ceylon, Wong Chin Chong, a 23-year-old from Malaya, who speaks seven different languages, Stephen Busaz, a Hungarian who went aboard at Sydney Nova Scotia, and Joseph Swafford, 25, from Silver Springs, Maryland, who was touring Europe on his own and joined the group at Barcelona, Spain. Before the visitors could come aboard at Ogdensburg, they had to be examined by a local doctor. The Utopia was built in 1946 at Captain Peterson's shipyard. In 1947, he spent 11 months cruising the Mediterranean. The world cruisers crossed the Atlantic on the way home in 13 days and six hours. According to Mr. Peterson, the ship will be laid up at Sturgeon Bay for the winter and repaired. The ship has a steel bottom but it is wood from the water level up. Household appliances of all sorts can be used on the ship. The freezer will hold a ton of frozen meat. The ship is equipped with radar and had two auxiliary engines for power. Under power, the ship will travel about eight knots. Under sail, with a good wind, it will sail along at an 11-knot clip. About the Utopia: The historic Great Lakes schooner Utopia, built in 1946, offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime history. Originally from Sturgeon Bay, you can now find Utopia in Manitowoc, Wisconsin! Dockside visitors can explore this beautifully crafted vessel, which was designed by Fred J. Peterson of Peterson Builders, Inc. in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and built in 1946. Utopia’s unique features include a steel double bottom for strength, wooden hull sides for warmth, and twin Detroit diesel engines. Visitors can marvel at her elegant lines, learn about her global circumnavigation, and appreciate the craftsmanship that has kept her sailing for decades. Utopia currently resides under the stewardship of the her new owners based in Manitowoc Wisconsin, where it continues to inspire curiosity and passion for the Great Lakes among learners of all ages.
