Sailing to Vis – Alitis Yachting Imagine gliding over the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, the sails full of wind, sun kissing your skin, and the distant silhouette of Vis Island slowly taking shape on the horizon. At Alitis Yachting, we specialize in creating unforgettable sailing experiences, and a trip to Vis is one of our most beloved routes for good reason. Why Vis? Vis is one of Croatia’s most enchanting islands. Once a military base, it remained closed to foreign visitors until 1989, preserving its authentic charm and natural beauty. Today, Vis offers a peaceful escape, untouched landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage that makes it a must-visit destination for sailing enthusiasts. The Journey Departing from Šolta or other nearby marinas, your sailing journey with Alitis Yachting takes you through some of the most scenic parts of the Dalmatian coast.

Our modern sailing yachts are fully equipped for comfort and safety, and our skippers are not just experienced sailors—they’re your guides to discovering hidden gems that only locals know. Highlights of Vis Stiniva Cove – Frequently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Europe, this narrow bay with dramatic cliffs is accessible mainly by boat. Blue Cave (Modra špilja) – Located on the nearby island of Biševo, the cave glows with ethereal blue light at midday. A short detour worth every second. Komiža and Vis Town – These two picturesque towns on opposite sides of the island offer cozy harbors, charming stone streets, and a relaxed island vibe. Local Cuisine – Try traditional dishes like peka or grilled fish, and don’t miss Vis’ famous wines, especially the white Vugava and red Plavac Mali. Why Sail with Alitis Yachting?

Two giant racing yachts charge downwind under full spinnakers — surfing fast waves just inches apart. Crew members scream “Hold your line!” as water spray hits the camera and the wind shakes everything. A heart-pounding moment of high-speed sailing and near-collision action, captured with raw, realistic energy. #sailboat #yachtracing #spinnaker #downwind #sailinglife #oceanracing #adrenaline #sailingshorts #boats #extremesailing #viralshorts

The best way to ensure the tails of your rope stay neat and tidy is to whip the ends. If you want to take your finish to the next level then take the time too added a loop to the end of the rope.
