After a full day of sailing through Croatia’s sun-soaked Adriatic waters, there’s no better way to top it off than a night out in one of the country’s most iconic island towns—Hvar. Known for its vibrant nightlife, historic charm, and elegant waterfront, Hvar is the perfect destination for a relaxed yet unforgettable evening ashore. Our crew, sailing aboard a spacious catamaran with Alitis Yachting, was ready to swap their deck shoes for something a bit more festive. With their experienced skipper—who, by mutual agreement, joined the crew for the night—they set off to explore the best of Hvar after dark. Arriving in Style Pulling into Hvar’s harbor just before sunset, the views were spectacular—stone buildings glowing golden in the last light of day, yachts lined up along the promenade, and the fortress high above, watching over it all. Once the catamaran was safely moored, the crew freshened up and headed out, ready for a night of delicious food, flowing drinks, and island magic. Dinner with a View The evening began with a dinner reservation at a cozy seafront restaurant, handpicked by the skipper, who knows the town like a local. The menu? Fresh-caught fish, grilled octopus, handmade pasta, and Dalmatian wines that paired perfectly with the sea breeze and sunset. There’s something special about sharing a meal on land after a day at sea—stories flow easily, laughter gets louder, and the bond between crew members grows stronger. Cocktails and Good Vibes After dinner, the group moved on to one of Hvar’s stylish cocktail lounges, tucked between historic buildings and bougainvillea-covered walls. With music in the background and craft drinks in hand, the energy of the night started to rise. For those in the mood, the evening continued at Hula Hula Beach Bar for sunset beats and then on to Carpe Diem, Hvar’s legendary waterfront club, where dancing under the stars is practically tradition. Skipper or Crew – Just Friends on Shore What makes sailing with Alitis Yachting truly different is the human touch. Their skippers aren’t just there to sail—they’re part of the experience. With professionalism, flexibility, and a genuine love for the sea and hospitality, they know when to give space, and when to join in. On nights like this, the skipper becomes part of the fun—joining the crew for dinner, sharing local tips, and maybe even raising a toast or two. Back on Board: Quiet Nights & Starry Skies After the party, the crew returned to the comfort of their catamaran. Some stayed up a little longer, sitting on deck under the stars, letting the gentle rocking of the boat and the sounds of the harbor lull them into total relaxation. This is what makes sailing with Alitis Yachting special: adventure by day, celebration by night, and a floating home that’s always waiting for you. Looking for a sailing holiday that blends freedom, fun, and local charm? Set sail with Alitis Yachting, and let nights like Hvar become part of your story.

We are Holly and Stephane 🇺🇸🇫🇷 We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speedtest, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us, which is why we don’t monetize our channel.
