Sailing 800 miles upwind to the Caribbean might have been our best passage ever! Normally right on the nose we had a light wind close reach/close hauled passage just before Christmas when we sailed from the Bahamas direct to St Martin. Here's a clip from the next episode of Distant Shores Season 10. Do you dream of making an ocean passage?

A Canadian classic, only 160 Ontario 32’s were built and and we are thrilled to have Hull #15 on our Sales Dock at our Sidney location! Stepping aboard it is apparent that “Bandit” has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by her Owners of almost exactly two decades. Complete with a full cockpit enclosure, hard dodger and a hard bimini equipped with solar panels, these spirited sailing vessels can often be found on club racing circuits as they sail beautifully. The large roomy interior is extremely well appointed with a large v-berth, enclosed head, comfortable main salon with seating around a large centreline positioned table, pilot berth, aft galley and plenty of headroom and storage. What makes “Bandit” different than her sister-ships are the new eye-catching stainless opening ports that not only bring in ventilation, they provide a ton of natural light into the cabin space. Repowered with a Beta diesel engine, Bandit comes with a Highfield RIB, Mercury outboard and assumable moorage at your choice of either North Saanich Marina or our Westport Marina in Sidney. Available to view by appointment, please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.

You'll be island hopping all week with like-minded travellers as we cover the biggest highlights on the Croatian coast aboard some of the liveliest motor yachts on the Adriatic. Swim in secluded bays and once in port explore historic towns and villages. Watch golden sunsets with your friends whilst sipping cool drinks from the decks of your boat and let the mood take you out in the evenings to waterside cafes or vibrant bars and clubs. Our Explorer cruises are perfect for discerning travellers looking for a blend of sightseeing, relaxation and socialising. Best suited for couples, young professionals and 'young at heart' travellers, the Explorer trips are 7 day cruises departing every Saturday from Split and Dubrovnik on our Premier ships. Explorer cruises are great for unwinding and experiencing the true beauty of Croatia, whilst taking in the culture and history of the country. The emphasis is on taking in more sightseeing than on the Navigator cruises, whilst still giving you some socialising options in the evenings.

Take in stunning coastal scenery while en-route to historic ports and towns where you are free to explore and experience cultural gems. Our Sail & Cycle cruises let you experience even more of Croatia. Get up close and personal with a Sail & Cycle Holiday around Croatia. At Sail Croatia we believe it's important to really get under the skin of a country while you are on holiday. Travelling to a new island or port every day, this truly unique trip allows you to indulge your love of the freedom cycling brings, whilst exploring the best of Croatia effortlessly.
