Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is! If you feel like laying out nude or skinny dipping, then who are we to say no? We just ask that you're respectful of your fellow guests and ask if they mind (probably not). Keep in mind that while we can generally go nude while sailing or in private coves, you'll need to stay clothed while in port to respect the other people around.

We don't like to place an age limit on the trip. But in saying that it's best suitable for ages 18+ and that guests are healthy and can get into the spirit of the trip. Our average age range is usually between mid-'30s and mid-'60s but we've also had younger and older on past trips.

Our package offers a one-off price, so you know exactly what to expect. This doesn't however include your restaurant dinners (unless otherwise specified), alcohol/mixes onboard or guide/crew gratuities.

We will be mixing up the itinerary, so you can expect some bars, restaurants and fantastic nightlife. Croatia has a wonderful tapestry of history and stunning architecture, so if you want a quite night, you can stroll of the old towns and get lost in their beauty. Keep in mind that while Croatia generally gay-friendly and welcoming in the places we're visiting, none of our stops specifically have gay bars or gay-specific venues.

Yes, if you'd like to get involved and have some fun, pack light but pack fun. Pack your favorite wig for 'Wig Wednesday,' your speedos, your favorite undies for 'Undie Monday' and anything else if you wanted to go and dress in drag.

You're going to be on a sailing boat for most of the trip so please leave the kitchen sink at home and try to pack light. We can stow your bags on the boat.

Yes absolutely! Usually, about 1/3 of our guests are solo travelers. The group dynamic and intimate layout of the sailing boat makes it easy to socialize with other guests and make friends. As a solo traveler you can either book your private own room on the boat and hotels or we can pair you with another solo traveler as a roommate. Private rooms require a single supplement of €2,095 or €4,390 total. If you choose to share a room, you'll save and pay the standard price of €2,295.

The price of the trip is €2,295 (approx. US$2,600) per person based on double occupancy in the boat and hotel. However, you can save €100 per person on your booking if you reserve your spot by March 31st, 2022.

€500 per person is due at the time of confirmation (deposit). The remaining balance is due 60 days before the start date of the trip. If booking is made less than eight (8) weeks before the departure date, payment will be required in full. Confirmation of the booking cannot be given until payment has been received.

The trip will only take place with a minimum number of bookings. Your spot on the trip will be confirmed at least 90 days prior to the trip start date, if not sooner. Please do not book flights or make other travel confirmations until your spot has been confirmed. If the trip is canceled, any deposits paid will be refunded.

Cancelation of bookings has the following refund percentages:
Within 7 days: 100% refund
After 7 days and more than 8 weeks from the departure date: loss of deposit
Less than 8 weeks from the departure date: 0% refund

Click the 'Book Now' button at the top of this page. You'll be directed to a booking request form to add your contact information as well as the number of guests. Once you submit your booking request we'll get in touch with you via email to finalize your booking.

We'll do our best to assign you a cabin with a roommate. The cabins on our sailing boats are small and you will be sharing a double bed with your roommate. However, this is the most economical option if you are a solo traveler and don't want to pay the single supplement of €2,195 for a private cabin.

We generally market these gay sailing trips for men since many of our guests prefer 'clothing optional’ days on the boat and don’t always feel comfortable about being naked in front of women. For this reason, we offer this as an 18+ gay male experience.

If you have more questions, simply fill out this form with your information and questions and we'll get in touch with you.

Gratuities are not included in the price of the charter. In the sailing world, it is customary to tip the boat crew if you've enjoyed the service. The recommended tipping range is generally from 5% to 15% of your total charter price.
