A unique flotilla experience in the Northern Adriatic

Following on from a successful trip in 2026, we embark on our explorer flotilla in the Northern Adriatic, starting from Pula in Croatia and heading across to Venice, a destination that needs no introduction.

Pula is known for its well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, and the old town has plenty of cobbled streets, revealing some lovely restaurants, or konobas, that showcase Adriatic cuisine, with a focus on the abundance of fresh seafood.

From here we journey north along the Croatian coast to Novigrad, with a couple of shorter sailing days to shake out the reefs and get our crews ready for the passage to Venice. An early start from Novigrad sees us head west across the Adriatic to Cavallino, just north of Venice, where we spend a couple of days, with a non-sailing day to explore Venice itself. After some time ashore we journey south, past Venice, to Chioggia for another taste of Italy, before heading east to explore the islands to the south of Pula.

How the Pula to Venice flotilla works

  • Two weeks from Saturday 5 June 2027, starting and finishing at ACI Marina Pula
  • Across the Adriatic to Venice and back, with a day ashore in Venice
  • Longer open-water passages, so be prepared for stiffer breezes
  • Charter your own yacht, or book a cabin on our lead yacht
  • Taxi transfers from Pula airport take about 20 minutes

The Northern Adriatic sailing area

The Northern Adriatic, the shallowest part of the Adriatic Sea, stretches between Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Its calm waters and sandy seabed have shaped coastal life for centuries, supporting fishing, trade and tourism.

    Known for its well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, with cobbled streets and konobas serving fresh Adriatic seafood.

  • Yachts at anchor off Silba The islands

    Lošinj to Silba

    Our most southerly islands, from a mooring on the west of Lošinj to peaceful little Silba.

The region’s unique mix of fresh water from rivers like the Po and salt water from the Mediterranean creates rich ecosystems, home to diverse marine species and wetlands. Historic ports such as Venice, Trieste and Rijeka grew prosperous along its shores, and today the Northern Adriatic balances economic activity with environmental protection, preserving its cultural heritage and natural beauty.

Pula to Venice weather and sailing conditions

The weather in June is warm and predictable, with typical daytime temperatures in the high 20s and slightly cooler evenings. Wind strength is typically force 3 to 5, although you should be prepared for stiffer breezes on our open-water passages.

The water temperature is perfect for a refreshing dip once the sailing is done.
