My Way Around the Adriatic

My Way Around the Adriatic

An exploration of the coast conducted in the only sensible manner: by sailing boat, at a dignified pace, and with just enough organization to avoid catastrophe.
This isn’t luxury cruising, nor is it heroic suffering. It’s genuine sailing on a well-prepared boat shared with humans who may or may not know which rope does what. Plans are flexible, the coffee is strong, and we follow the ancient maritime principle of: “That place looks nice, let’s go there.”

The 2026 Voyages
Our routes are guided by the wind, weather, and our collective enthusiasm.
1. Explore Dalmatia | 28 May–7 June: Ten days through Šolta, Hvar, and Vis before the crowds arrive and start behaving like crowds.
2. Kornati Cruise | 25 June–5 July: Ten days weaving through a landscape of rock, sea, and astonishing emptiness.
3. Night Regatta Experience | 6–9 August: Sailing from Split to Brač for a midnight race and a waterfront concert.
4. One Way Along the Adriatic | 9–16 August: A peak-season run from Split to Pula. Lively harbours and cold drinks.
5. Transadriatic | 10–20 September: Two full crossings. Night watches, offshore life, and the deep satisfaction of proper seamanship.
6. Barcolana | 8–11 October: Join the world’s largest regatta in Trieste. 2,000 boats – beautiful chaos.

The Skipper: Saša Fegić has 25 years in the industry and has sailed around the world via the Southern Ocean. He is a member of the International Association of Cape Horners—meaning he’s been to the places most people only read about while sitting somewhere warm.


The Yacht:

S/Y Oya

Is it expensive? Yes. If that’s a problem, there are many lovely hotels where the biggest adventure is choosing how your eggs are cooked.
We don’t do “prices”—we do necessary expenses that make the voyage possible.

Ready to Step Aboard?

If you want in, email Saša at sasa.fegic@gmail.com and say “I’m in.” Or, if you’re feeling dramatic, “Set sail without me and you’ll regret it forever.”

Stop scrolling. Start sailing. Be the one with the story to tell.

FAQ – Questions, Answers, and the Truth About Life at Sea

Who can join?
Anyone with a positive attitude. You don’t need experience. You don’t need money manners. You just need a decent attitude and the ability to laugh when things aren’t perfect.
Solo travellers, drifters, people running from desks, sailors who’ve seen too much and beginners who know nothing — all welcome. If you complain a lot, stay ashore.

Is it safe?
As safe as real life gets.
The boat is certified for ocean sailing. She’s solid. She’s prepared. She’s got all the safety gear people argue about on internet forums.
And the skipper? Saša sailed around the world. Three capes. Southern Ocean. He didn’t die. That usually reassures people, and means if anything dramatic happens, at least someone has experience in telling the story afterwards.

Do I need my own sailing equipment?
Nope. The boat has what you need. Lifejackets. Gear. Things that keep you breathing, and sensible blankets for starry nights.
Bring clothes you don’t mind getting salty and a pair of shoes that won’t kill you when the deck is wet.

Is it demanding?
Only if you make it so. This isn’t a boot camp, or an endurance test. Nobody’s yelling. Nobody’s timing you.
You sail. You swim. You eat. You drink. If you wish to be involved with ropes and sails, you’ll be taught; if you’d rather nap in an anchorage while someone else gets wet and heroic, that is also a perfectly respectable choice.

Where will we go?
The good places. The ones without crowds screaming into phones. Islands, anchorages, bars that still know how to pour a drink without turning it into theatre.
The precise route obeys the three immutable laws of seamanship: wind, weather, and what looks nicest from the cockpit at the moment.

What if I get seasick?
It happens. We’ve got pills, patches, ginger, and sympathy — in roughly that order. If you’re prone to it, tell us and we’ll help mitigate it: strategic anchoring, fresh air, gentle advice and the occasional pep talk.

Where will I sleep?
In a proper double cabin. A door. A bed. A place to collapse at night. If you want the cabin to yourself — because you snore, contemplate, or need space from humanity — that’s possible. It just costs a bit more. Solitude always does.

What will we eat and drink?
Good things. The boat is fully stocked. The galley works. Saša knows how to cook and how to make a cocktail that doesn’t taste like regret. You won’t starve. You won’t be sober unless you choose to be.
If you have dietary needs, tell us in advance — we’re not miracle workers, but we’re pretty adaptable.

How much will it cost?
You’ll pay for the expenses when you book and, after that, everything is taken care of: yacht, skipper, fuel, food, drinks, marina fees, and the small miracles that keep a voyage running. There are no hidden charges unless you decide to buy the entire island of Hvar, in which case we’ll need to have a separate conversation.

Still worried?
Then email Saša (sasa.fegic@gmail.com). Ask whatever’s keeping you awake at night. He’ll answer straight.
If you don’t come, at least tell us what you’re doing instead — we like to be jealous with proper information.

Step aboard. Bring good humour. We’ll provide the rest (including, on occasion, an improvised sea shanty).

You’ll come back different.
A little quieter.
A little saltier.
With stories you won’t tell properly.
That’s sailing.
