Your Sailing Area

Croatia

Offering a quieter but equally as beautiful side to the Mediterranean that so far seems little touched by the booming tourist trade, exploring the coast and islands of Croatia is certainly best done by boat. From ancient harbour cities shrouded in impressively thick old town walls to spectacular bays for remote anchorages in crystal clear waters and fair winds, sailing in Croatia has something for everyone. With easy access from UK airports, you can fly from London and be relaxing on board in as little as 4 hours. This sailing adventure on Kairos is perfect for those looking for a little escapism, relaxation, and new experiences, as well as stunning landscapes and 5* service onboard!

As with all sailing holidays, the itinerary is not set until closer to the time, but be assured that this cruise will see you exploring the magnificent coastline of the Adriatic Sea and the Croatian coastal towns and islands of Korcula, Mijet, Hvar and Vis as you sail towards the final destination of  Cavtat,

 

The Croatian Islands

Among the island visits will be the ancient UNESCO city of Dubrovnik, one of the world’s most magnificent walled cities. During the 16th century, it had one of the largest merchant naval fleets in the world but today, visitors come here for leisure.  The main draw is the charming pedestrian-only old town, packed with history and elegant Baroque churches, contained within the breathtaking medieval fortifications.

Vis is the furthest island from the coast and by far the most enigmatic and bohemian. Sleepy villages, traditional Croatian architecture and secluded bays make this island a great “get-away”. Wander the ancient city walls, snorkel in the hidden bays and explore its fascinating sea caves.

Hvar is one of the Croatian island’s most luxurious beach destinations. The island is famous for its abandoned ancient hamlets, craggy peaks, vineyards and glorious lavender fields.

Mljet is a national park and one of Croatia’s greenest islands. It is home to crystal-clear waters, beautiful shorelines, and sandy beaches. The waters around Mjlet are at a higher temperature than the sea and are full of marine life, so there are plenty of exploring, swimming and snorkelling opportunities. Stroll around the two famous saltwater lakes or even visit the legendary Odysseus Cave.

Korcula is the largest of the three islands you will visit and has, of course, with all these beautiful islands, plenty of places to explore, swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters along stretches of sandy beaches. Korcula is known as ‘little-Dubrovnik’ and will take your breath away with its magnificent medieval architecture and fortresses. With romantic cobbled streets and cafes and bars serving the best white Croatian wines, this is the perfect place to unwind and watch the world go by.

Things to note
Sailing vs Shoretime
Depending on the wishes of the group and the weather, Kairos will aim to go ashore every 1-2 days. She spends about 50% of the day sailing and 50% on anchor with time to swim and explore ashore.
Do I need to take part in night watches?
No, Kairos does not sail at night!
Do I need insect repellent?
Mosquitos can be active on land in the evenings so take a good DEET spray if you're prone to getting bitten!

Travel insurance notes

As this is an active adventure holiday, we advise that everyone has the appropriate personal accident travel insurance whilst onboard in addition to standard travel insurance which would cover you in the time between making your booking and departing for your adventure. These policies can sometimes be combined so please check with your travel insurance provider.

Please read more information on our Insurance guidelines page.

This voyage will be not more than 12 miles offshore.

*Please note passengers sailing on Chronos, Rhea or Kariós do not require personal accident cover, only health insurance. 

Our sailing holidays on board Kairós are ones of style and comfort while exploring sunshine destinations and unforgettable locations.

Sailing with Kairós is certainly one of comfort and relaxation. Think of a boutique, intimate, classic sailing experience where nothing is too much trouble. Her dedicated and professional crew is highly trained and well-versed in smooth sailing operations. 

Getting Involved

She has an impressive sail area, and her rig is electronically operated with retractable sails, so there is no need to “learn the ropes” here! Her crew are always on hand and happy to discuss the sailing operations with guests. 

Although there is less focus on the “hands-on” sailing of Kairós, the Captain and crew offer interesting sailing talks and information briefs for guests during the voyage. Learn about the boat’s history and sailing terms, and even take a tour of the engine room if you fancy! Understanding these elegant classic vessels and feeling their power with the wind is truly an unforgettable experience.

Sleeping and Relaxation

Every space on Kairós is considered with the guests at the forefront of all design. From the spacious saloon, private ensuite cabins clad in tropical wood, to the sweeping open decks with plenty of sun lounging spaces.

The generously proportioned cabins all have plenty of luggage storage, full-size domestic showers and air conditioning units. Kairós has six double cabins and one smaller double ensuite (great for younger couples or solo travellers). Kairós cabins are named after the owners’ love of classic boats, of course; each cabin is given a different classic boat name (Eleanora is his favourite!). This matches the allocated swim towel set for guests, so if you leave it drying on deck, a crew member will deliver it back to your cabin when it’s dry. 

Daily cabin service is also part of the offering. A crew member will make your bed and freshen your bathroom every day. If you want a towel change or a complete cabin clean, just leave the relevant sign on the cabin door! 

Cabins explained…

Deluxe Cabin: This cabin features one large double bed and an ensuite with a walk-in shower.

Small Double Cabin:  This cabin has one small double bed, an ensuite toilet, and a shower wet room. It is suitable for solo travellers or two young guests.

Dining Aboard

Although the day is punctuated by meal times, you certainly don’t feel like you’re running on a schedule. The relaxed nature of both the boat and the crew gives a perfect balance. 

Depending on the voyage location, the daily routine can vary and be flexible, according to the group’s wishes. Perhaps sit back and relax as the crew sets sail to another remote anchorage to enjoy a freshly cooked lunch and the onboard water toys! Or spend the morning swimming in a secluded bay or exploring an ancient port city before setting sail to a new location. 

Start the day with a continental buffet-style breakfast, then a light 2-course lunch at noon, coffee, tea, and cake in the afternoon, before finishing the day with a freshly cooked dinner. For every voyage on Kairós, guests enjoy a meal ashore at their own expense to really immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine. Guests tend to go off in their own groups, but sometimes, the crew can join in if guests are unsure of the best spots!

A typical Day

Generally, after breakfast, Kairós will spend a few hours sailing to a new destination where guests can either explore ashore or swim from the boat. Guests can go ashore usually every 1-2 days. On her longer passages and Ocean crossings, she will spend consecutive days at sea. 

Water-toys

For those water lovers with a sense of adventure, Kairós has a multitude of water-sport activities and equipment available for guests on her standard voyages (not crossings/passages). Adult-size snorkelling equipment is available for guests to use free of charge. 

Water skiing, wakeboarding and tube riding are all chargeable once on board. Kairós offers this at a moderate price and suggests an average of 10% of the voyage price to serve as a guide for consumption. The onboard currency is EUROS, and guests can open an onboard account that can be settled at the end of their voyage.

Kairós

Guest berths: 14 Rig: Bermuda Schooner

This beautiful schooner is the creation of Andreas Steidle-Sailer, a passionate sailor and visionary with a love of classic yachts. He realised that sailing on board beautiful classic yachts was often accessible only to the super-rich and wanted to create an opportunity for anyone to sail in luxury on a modern yacht with classic lines. He teamed up with Klaus Röder in 2007, who based his design on a classic yacht whilst staying true to modern-day schooners, built for performance sailing and guest comfort.

Kairós offers cabin charter berths for up to 14 guests. She has six private en-suite double cabins (all named after iconic classic yachts) with full walk-in shower cubicles, and one small double cabin with a wet-room ensuite. All her cabins have complete air conditioning, teak interior finishes, and full-size double beds. There’s a bar and navigation station in the midships, and below decks, she has a large saloon area with comfortable leather seating and dining.

Built with ultimate comfort in mind, the deck’s outline is teak and mahogany, with plenty of space to sunbathe, read a book and enjoy the views. All the sails are electronically retractable, so there is no need to “learn the ropes” here!  An admiralty ladder provides the perfect place to jump off into the warm Mediterranean waters, swim, and climb back aboard easily. Kairós also offers her guests the option to use her paddle boards, snorkelling and water sports equipment!
