Windscoops let the breeze lull you to sleep!



I was just in Tortola this past July on a Lagoon 410 Catamaran. We spent 2 nights at the Sunsail Marina and I was very pleased with the ease and performance of the "Breeze Booster" Windscoop. This device is easily mounted on the hatch and helps to circulate air into the cabin. While out at sea I used the windscoop with the electric fan and one night I even had to use my blanket! This is a standard feature on all Sunsail charters.





Coast of a thousand islands











Croatia has it all – majestic walled cities with medieval cobbled streets, ancient ruins, vineyards, forests, deserted coves, and over a thousand islands to discover. In reliable five to twenty knot winds, you can keep the sailing distances as short as you like from one fully equipped, modern marina or remote anchorage to another. Anchor or moor up in sheltered, peaceful harbors or busier towns – the choice is up to you!


Today’s Croatia is an effortless blend of old and new, historic and hip. Wherever you step ashore you’ll be met with a great welcome – Croatian hospitality is warm and genuine and renowned in the sailing community.

Choose from two dramatically different yacht charter locations along Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coast:

Kremik, Croatia – Central along the coast, visit ancient towns and the stunning Krka Falls or head north to the Kornati National Park and explore thousands of uninhabited islands
Dubrovnik, Croatia - Enjoy this amazing medieval walled city before sailing through the islands

No matter which area you choose, you’ll find superb sailing conditions in beautiful surroundings, friendly locals, wonderful cuisine, and a warm, dry Mediterranean climate. With 2,600 hours of sunlight in an average year, Croatia boasts one of the sunniest coastlines in Europe.
