About our service along the Istrian Coast (Pula - Fažana - Brijuni - Rovinj - Lim Channel - Vrsar - Pula):

Day 1 (Friday) begins with a 4:00 PM departure from Tehnomont Marina Veruda. In just 20 minutes of gentle cruising, you’ll arrive in the charming town of Fažana. Known for its vibrant waterfront and strong fishing heritage, Fažana is an ideal first night stop. Stroll the colorful promenade, admire local art, and enjoy freshly grilled seafood with views of the nearby Brijuni islands. As the sun dips below the Adriatic, the harbor’s cozy atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a relaxing evening onboard.

On Day 2 (Saturday), depart at 9:00 AM for a short cruise to Brijuni National Park, just 10 minutes away. This archipelago of 14 protected islands blends natural beauty with unique wildlife and historic intrigue. Dock at the main island and explore its safari park, home to zebras, llamas, and exotic deer. Delve into Roman ruins, Byzantine churches, and remnants of Tito’s former presidential estate. Paddleboarding and snorkeling in the surrounding bays offer even more active options. Around midday, cruise 30 minutes to Rovinj — an artistic and architectural gem perched over the sea. Spend your afternoon exploring cobbled alleys, boutique galleries, and the iconic Church of St. Euphemia. The town’s romantic ambiance is perfect for sunset drinks at a hilltop café overlooking the Adriatic.

Day 3 (Sunday) starts with a 9:00 AM sail to the Lim Channel — a fjord-like inlet surrounded by steep, green hills. This peaceful nature haven is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and cave exploration. Visit the legendary Pirate’s Cave accessible only by boat, or stop for an oyster lunch at one of the celebrated seafood restaurants tucked into the cliffs. After lunch, continue 20 minutes to Vrsar, a quaint seaside village with terraced streets, serene beaches, and historic architecture. Discover St. Martin’s Church or relax by the waterfront with views of the surrounding islets. Around 4:00 PM, begin your leisurely return sail (1.5 hours) back to Tehnomont Marina Veruda in Pula, arriving by 5:30 PM and concluding the charter at 6:00 PM.

Though brief, this itinerary is packed with memorable experiences — from national parks and art towns to nature excursions and gourmet dining — all easily accessed with the freedom and agility of your own private motor boat.
