Setting Sail in Kaštel Stari

The allure of the Adriatic Sea has always been irresistible to me, and when I stumbled upon the opportunity to experience Active Sailing in Kaštel Stari, I knew it was a chance I couldn’t pass up. The promise of learning the art of sport sailing under the guidance of seasoned skippers was too enticing. As a marine biologist, my love for the ocean is deeply rooted, and the idea of becoming an active crew member on a sailing adventure was exhilarating.

Upon arrival, the vibrant energy of the marina was palpable. The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden hue over the water, and the boats bobbed gently in the harbor. Our skipper, Marin, greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that set the tone for the day.

The hands-on experience was invaluable. Marin encouraged us to take the helm, guiding us as we navigated the azure waters. The thrill of steering the boat, feeling the wind in my hair and the spray of the sea on my face, was indescribable. It was a perfect blend of serenity and exhilaration, a reminder of why I fell in love with the ocean in the first place.
