CROATIA
Croatia, September 2017
Our inaugural MountainSea voyage was one to remember! We took an adventurous group from Colorado and Utah to one of the hottest destinations in the world to access the Adriatic and the Croatian coast. This group loves adrenaline so we sought cliffs to climb and cliffs to huck off, submarine bunkers, snorkeling, standup paddle boarding and halyard swings. Adventure combined with night life, historical town visits and gourmet local cuisine, onboard and ashore, filled the week. One particular highlight that stands out is when one of our guests, an avid climber who brought her gear, scaled a 60′ cliff on Hvar and over the blue of the Adriatic while the yacht motored near to document the accomplishment. We at MountainSea are looking forward to heading back to Croatia for a climbing specific sailing event. We will seek out the best cliff sides for deep water soloing and belayed climbs. The infrastructure is there all over the islands with established and bolted routes. Contact us for more information.
“Taking our family, including two children, on a yacht for the week was daunting, as we all had very limited experience on large boats. But every detail and every comfort was taken care of by Captain Ted. We were able to learn a tremendous amount, and the way in which Ted worked with our kids was as gentle as it was effective. His demeanor imparted a sense of confidence that allowed our kids to comfortably take on tasks they might not otherwise have tried, from taking the helm to learning to flambé shrimp for dinner. We all came away appreciative that our week had been as relaxing as educational. The unbelievable beauty of the Caribbean was perhaps the least impressive part of our trip, and that is saying a ton about Ted and the trip. Can’t wait to head South again.”
