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. With a professional skipper at the helm, you can relax and enjoy every moment—from quiet coves perfect for swimming to lively seaside villages offering fresh seafood and local wine. 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? At Alitis Yachting, we believe sailing is more than a vacation—it’s a journey of discovery. Our skippered charters are designed to give you the freedom to explore, with the comfort of knowing you're in expert hands. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a complete beginner, we tailor each trip to your pace and preferences. Let us handle the wind and waves, while you soak in the sun, scenery, and the soul of the Adriatic. Ready to Set Sail? Vis is waiting.

The Purelip design provides pure wave performance and an enormous wind range. With its pedigree of more than 20 years of refinement, the design continues to improve on balance, stability, and ease of use. The Purelip now feels quicker and more compact as a result of a higher aspect ratio. The increase in mast length is compensated for by the switch to a closed sleeve head which replaces the plug fitting used previously. The leech has a new outline and has been extended at the third batten to give smoother and more reactive power release during wave riding transitions.

Oggi giornata turistica! Dopo una mattina di pulizie sentiamo Paolo e ci organizziamo per vederci nella parte coloniale, di fronte alla cattedrale. Così facciamo, chiamiamo il nostro caro Taxista Aurelio e viaggiamo veloci verso la capitale. Abbiamo scoperto che la Repubblica Dominicana conta 12 milioni di abitanti di cui un terzo solo in Santo Domingo. Facendo un breve paragone, Milano ha 1,3 milioni di abitanti e Roma 2,8 milioni. Vi lascio immaginare il traffico… Comunque sia, arriviamo al nostro appuntamento in anticipo! Paolo è una persona che vive qui da 34 anni, una vita. Ci racconta come sia la vita qui, come sia stato arrivare in un periodo in cui era ancora tutto molto più indietro. Ha visto crescere la Repubblica Dominicana, diventando cavaliere del consiglio generale degli italiani all’estero e assistendo ad una crescita continua di italiani insediati qui. Andiamo a pranzo da Leonardo, ristoratore pugliese con locale sulla marina. Un pranzo che chiudendo gli occhi ci fa sentire a casa: taglieri di affettati, formaggi e vino rosso tutti di firma italiana. Si unisce con noi a pranzo Alberto, anche lui ristoratore di santo Domingo, che da 27 anni vive qui. Ha aperto un’enoteca/ristorante con 450 vini italiani a menù. Continuiamo a passeggiare e scoprire angoli tipici del luogo. Una giornata all’insegna della scoperta, di nuove conoscenze e di vita del posto. Ci leggiamo domani, con un’altra partenza.. Andrea
