Sailing 6,000 nm in 5 months doesn’t leave much room for delays — the wind and weather decide when we sail and when we stay 🗺️. Every setback can be a challenge. Thanks to , this “little big problem” was resolved quickly, and we’re back on course, heading north! Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife #boatwork

Croatian Chill: Sun-Soaked Serenity Sailing the Adriatic The sun beats down, a gentle rhythm lapping against the hull. A cool breeze whispers through the sails, carrying the scent of salt and distant pine. This isn't a dream, it's just another perfect afternoon sailing along the stunning Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. Forget the regattas and competitive races, here we're all about embracing the "chill" factor. Croatia's calm turquoise waters and countless hidden coves are an invitation to slow down, soak up the sun, and truly disconnect. The Soundtrack of Serenity Our days are filled with the simple pleasures. The morning starts with the gentle clinking of mugs as we brew coffee on deck, the aroma swirling with the sea air. The only deadlines are those dictated by the sun, prompting us to shift our position for optimal tanning (important business, you know!). As the day progresses, the soundtrack is a beautiful symphony of nature: the rhythmic whoosh of the sails, the occasional playful plop of a dolphin breaching the surface, and the calming lull of the waves. Island Hopping Bliss Our itinerary is delightfully loose. We spend mornings exploring quaint villages nestled on islands like Hvar and Vis, their stone houses cascading down to the water's edge. Afternoons are for dropping anchor in secluded coves, hidden like precious gems along the coastline. The crystal-clear water beckons us in for swims that feel like diving into an aquarium. We snorkel over vibrant coral reefs teeming with life, or simply float on our backs, gazing up at the endless blue canvas. Culinary Delights Await Evenings are a celebration of fresh, local flavors. We pull into charming harbor towns and savor delicious seafood dishes at water's edge tavernas. Laughter mingles with the clinking of glasses as we toast to another unforgettable day in paradise. Sunsets that Steal the Show As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and pink, a sense of tranquility washes over us. We gather on deck, sharing stories and dreams under a canopy of stars that seem impossibly close. Sailing in Croatia isn't just about the destination, it's about the journey. It's about slowing down, appreciating the simple things, and reconnecting with ourselves and the beauty that surrounds us. It's about finding your own little slice of Croatian chill.

Watch the Flyer 9 SUNdeck and Flyer 9 SPACEdeck ride together along the Chesapeake Bay! Which Flyer 9 would you bet on? Our Flyer range was conceived to be the day-boat of your dreams. Equipped with our AirStep® Hull, these powerboats boast faster acceleration and more responsive maneuvering, as well as the ability to lift up and cut through waves – perfect for cruising, water skiing, and wakeboarding. The Flyer also features two different deck plans, our SUNdeck or our SPACEdeck, to maximize either your sunbathing or entertaining needs! -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 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.
