About Sail Istria
Our Story
Why We Started Sail Istria
Sail Istria was started by two friends, Andrej and Anton. We’re both experienced sailors who absolutely love the sea and the amazing coast of Istria.
Before starting Sail Istria, we worked in travel for over seven years. We noticed that many tours felt the same, kind of boring, and not very personal. We knew sailing trips could be SO much better!
So, we decided to create something different: Sail Istria. Our dream was (and still is!) to share the real magic of sailing in Istria. We want to take you to secret spots, show you stunning views, and give you a sailing experience you’ll remember forever. We believe sailing is about fun, peace, adventure, and connecting with the beautiful nature around us.

Why Pula, Poreč & Istria? It's Paradise!
Pula is our fantastic home base – we believe it’s the best place to start your Istrian sailing adventure! Why? Because it’s simply amazing, mixing incredible history like the Roman Arena with stunning nearby nature.
Just a short trip from Pula by boat, you can discover breathtaking scenery. Imagine gliding past the serene islands of Brijuni National Park or anchoring near Cape Kamenjak’s stunning hidden beaches with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming.
Discover the beauty of Poreč from a completely different perspective — the sea. With its charming old town, crystal-clear waters, hidden bays, and stunning coastline, Poreč is one of the most beautiful sailing destinations in Istria.
Istria’s coastline offers incredible variety—peaceful bays, charming towns, and dramatic views—all easily reached from Pula. The waters here are beautiful and inviting, ideal for both relaxed cruising and enjoyable sailing. This unique mix makes Pula the perfect launchpad for discovering the magic of the Adriatic by sailboat.

Fantastic weekend sailing course! Our instructing skipper Pavao thoroughly explained what we wanted to know and was very patient with us as we were learning new docking, anchoring, and mooring skills.

We went out early for a half day trip and it couldn't have gone better. Pavo took us to the best snorkeling spots and helped our friend Clo become captain of the seas for a while. A truly unforgettable experience. Next time I'm going to book a full day trip!Posted on Google ariane “Dark Pistol” pryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ein super schönes Erlebnis! Wir waren zu 7 mit Pavao der Captain , der super freundlich war. Preis Leistung war top 👍 Da wir Windstille hatten, haben wir statt dem Segeln Halyard Swinging gemacht, eine bombenerfahrung.Posted on Google VilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
