Description
Pula Bareboat – Active Adventure & Snorkeling Escape via Kamenjak, Lošinj, Oruda, Palacol, Silba & Susak
For crews who prefer fins, masks, and hiking shoes alongside the sail bag, Pula’s Tehnomont Marina Veruda is the ideal springboard. You’ll board a capable, well-briefed yacht, map your daily objectives, and point the bow toward nature parks, uninhabited islets, and soft-sand shores. The distances are manageable, the water is luminous, and every stop invites a new way to move.
This is a hands-on bareboat holiday built around kayaking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and relaxed hikes. Mornings often begin with a quick passage to a clear cove. Afternoons slow into water time, cave exploring, or short walks to viewpoints. Evenings bring cockpit dinners, starry skies, and the contentment that comes from a day spent outside.
About Our Service in the Kvarner Islands
We deliver a thorough chart and systems briefing, share local tips for caves and sheltered snorkel spots, and help you plan fuel and water strategy so you can linger off-grid when you want. The recommended loop takes you from Kamenjak Nature Park to lively Mali Lošinj, onward to uninhabited Oruda and Palacol, then to Silba and Susak before the return to Pula.

About Our Yacht – Bavaria C45
Purposeful deck ergonomics and a generous cockpit make the Bavaria C45 a natural fit for active weeks. Wide side decks simplify movement, while a deep swim platform becomes your daily base for gearing up. The sail plan is powerful yet manageable for a compact crew thanks to the full-batten main, furling genoa, cockpit plotter, and autopilot. A 57 hp engine handles harbor work and headwinds with ease, and substantial fuel and water reserves support multi-day anchoring.
Inside, the three-cabin, two-head layout comfortably sleeps up to eight guests (6+2). Climate control, solar charging, and efficient refrigeration keep life onboard smooth between stops. With TV and cockpit speakers for low-key evenings and a tender to reach trailheads or sandy beaches, the C45 underpins an outdoor-forward itinerary without sacrificing comfort.
