Set Sail for Paradise: Exploring Rab Island, Croatia Croatia's Adriatic coast is a sailor's playground, and Rab Island shines brightly within it. Imagine this: crystal-clear waters lapping against your sailboat, the scent of pine clinging to the air, and charming medieval towns waiting to be explored. That's Rab in a nutshell. This island, often called the "Happy Island," offers more than just stunning scenery. So, raise the anchor and get ready for an unforgettable sailing adventure on Rab. Island Bliss: Unveiling Rab's Gems Medieval Marvels: Rab Town, the island's crown jewel, boasts a maze of narrow streets lined with Venetian-influenced buildings. Four iconic church towers pierce the skyline, remnants of a rich history. Wander through the town walls, peek into art galleries, and soak up the atmosphere. Beach Bonanza: Rab caters to every beach bum. Sunbathe on the expansive sands of Paradise Beach in Lopar, or discover hidden coves along the island's rugged coastline. For something unique, visit the naturist beach at Sahara, one of the first in Europe. Natural Delights: Venture inland to discover Rab's wild side. Hike the Kamenjak peninsula for panoramic views, or explore the Dundo Forest, a fragrant haven of Aleppo pines. Keep an eye out for rare birds and butterflies fluttering through the lush greenery. Sailing Sensations The beauty of Rab truly unfolds from the water. Navigate the calm channels between the island and mainland, or set sail for nearby islets like Maun and Sveta Grgur. These secluded spots offer pristine beaches and a chance to commune with nature. Here are some sailing tips for Rab: Favorable Winds: The island enjoys reliable winds, perfect for experienced sailors and novices alike. Charter Options: Numerous charter companies operate in Rab, offering everything from bareboat rentals to skippered tours. Hidden Gems: Local captains can guide you to secret coves and secluded bays inaccessible by land. Beyond the Boat: Exploring Rab's Delights Foodie Paradise: Indulge in fresh seafood stews ("brodet") and local delicacies like "rapska torta," a sweet cake made with almonds and figs. Wash it all down with a glass of the island's renowned grape brandy, "rakija." Festival Fun: Immerse yourself in Rab's vibrant culture. Join the Rab Fair in July, a medieval spectacle with costumed characters and traditional music. For something livelier, the Rab "Fjere" festival in August features street performers and open-air concerts. Rab Island is a treasure waiting to be discovered, and there's no better way to experience it than from the deck of a sailboat. So, set sail for Croatia's Happy Island and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We spent a remarkable evening with plenty of celebratory champagne, lively music, and exceptional company to welcome the premiering Antares 12 as the new flagship of the Antares line! This weekend, you too can count yourself among the first to step aboard our stunning new model. Join us at Dock G/H at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to step aboard and explore! -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
