When time is limited but the thirst for discovery runs deep, a weekend bareboat charter aboard the Leidi 660 is the ideal solution. In just three days, you’ll encounter some of Istria’s most iconic coastal gems—including Brijuni National Park, the colorful town of Rovinj, the fjord-like Lim Channel, and the serene port of Vrsar. Departing from Pula’s Tehnomont Marina Veruda on a Friday afternoon, this itinerary combines historical charm, natural beauty, and culinary delights into a relaxed yet fulfilling short escape.

Short and sweet, this 3-day journey is designed to offer a complete Istrian coastal experience. It’s perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway or small groups seeking a cultural escape without needing a full week off.

Day 1: Leave the bustle of Pula behind and cruise a short 20 minutes to Fažana, a quaint town with a vibrant waterfront promenade. Enjoy local seafood at a harborside restaurant and perhaps take an evening walk along the sea before spending the night aboard at anchor or moored in the harbor.

Day 2: Start early and cross over to the nearby Brijuni Islands. As a former presidential retreat, this national park boasts Roman ruins, ancient trees, and even a safari park. Spend the morning cycling or paddling around the main island. Then, make your way to Rovinj, where Venetian architecture and artist-run galleries add flair to the colorful waterfront. Stroll the cobbled streets, visit the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, and enjoy a sunset cocktail in town before sleeping aboard in Rovinj harbor.

Day 3: Your final day begins with a morning sail to Lim Channel, an emerald inlet flanked by forested cliffs. Swim in its clear waters, explore the fabled Pirate’s Cave, or indulge in fresh oysters from local restaurants. Around midday, cruise to Vrsar, a peaceful hilltop town with panoramic views and inviting beaches. Enjoy lunch by the shore before returning to Pula by early evening, ending your short but memorable Adriatic voyage.

The Leidi 660 is tailor-made for short escapes. Compact yet luxurious, it features a spacious double cabin, modern bathroom, a cozy indoor lounge, and full kitchen essentials including a coffee maker and refrigerator. Thanks to its 150hp Suzuki engine and solar setup, the vessel operates efficiently and independently.

The shaded cockpit and rear swimming platform offer perfect spots for relaxing between destinations. It’s everything you need for a hassle-free weekend afloat.
