Cavat, Mljet, Lastovo, Korcula, Dubrovnik CROATIA

Join Kairos in the sweet peninsula of Cavtat. An ancient town sat within two harbours lined with trees and a pretty waterfront promenade. Dotted with traditional restaurants, pebbly beaches and an interesting array of ancient architecture and artsy attractions.

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, the islands of Mljet, Lastovo and Korcula and you may even visit the Bay of Kotor. Stop at the must-see city of Dubrovnik before sailing back to the coastal town of Cavtat.

The Croatian Islands
Mljet is a National Park and is one of Croatia’s greenest islands and 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 plenty of exploring, swimming and snorkelling opportunities. Stroll around the two famous saltwater lakes or even visit the legendary Odysseus Cave.

Lastovo is part of an archipelago of 46 islands that is one of Croatia’s beautiful nature parks. Formerly a military base, the island of Lastovo was only recently opened to the public so is full of unspoiled charm. There is an abundance of marine life, ancient wrecks and natural wonders – perfect for a swim, snorkel or even a Scuba dive. As a result of strict controls within the park, you must be accompanied by registered guides when diving.

Kairós

Guest berths: 14 Rig: Bermuda Schooner

Luxury yacht Kairós offers an unforgettable sailing holiday experience in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. A purpose-built charter vessel designed with the beautifully elegant lines of a classic boat, Kairós gives guests the ultimate luxury sailing experience with 5* service and private ensuite cabins. She spends her winters in Greece before sailing in Croatia, Corfu and Italy during the summer months.

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 only accessible to the super-rich and wanted to create an opportunity for anybody to be able 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 keeping up with the 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 full 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 luxury 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 of using her paddle-boards, snorkelling and water sports equipment too!
