Why Sail with Sail Istria

Because Poreč Deserves the Slow Way

Small Group, Big Comfort

Just eight guests on board our Elan 333 cruiser, with a local skipper who knows every cove from Poreč to Rovinj. No crowds, no rush, no script.

Every Adriatic Moment, Captured

GoPro and SUP gear come included, so you can dive into the Lim fjord's emerald water, paddle quiet bays, and toast the Poreč sunset with proof you were there.

Your Day, Your Way

Linger longer in the Vrsar archipelago, sail into Rovinj's old town, hunt for wild dolphins, or take the helm yourself. Transfers sorted, gear ready.

Andrej
FOUNDER OF SAILISTRIA

“Sailistria was born from a simple idea — that the freedom of the sea should be accessible, effortless, and unforgettable. We’re here to make every journey on the water feel like it was meant to be.

What Do Guests Say About Sail Istria

FAQ

Popular Questions

Are Sail Istria's Poreč sailing tours suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. All our sailing tours, day charters, and our one-day sailing course in Poreč are designed for complete beginners. You don’t need any prior sailing experience. Our local skipper handles the boat from Marina Parentium so you can simply relax, swim, snorkel, or join in and learn the basics if you want to. Most of our guests step on board for the very first time and leave feeling confident on the water.

We offer four main sailing experiences from Marina Parentium in Poreč:

  • Half-Day Poreč Sailing Tour (4 hours) — sail through the Vrsar archipelago, swim and snorkel in hidden coves
  • Poreč Sunset Sailing Tour (3 hours) — golden-hour cruise with a real chance of spotting wild dolphins
  • Full-Day Poreč Sailing Tour (8 hours, private only) — your boat, your day, exploring Vrsar islands and the Lim fjord
  • Grand Poreč Sailing Tour (11 hours) — the flagship route through Vrsar, Lim fjord, and Rovinj, ending with a sunset sail home


We also offer a one-day sailing course for guests who want to learn the basics of sailing from a certified skipper.

Our tours depart from Marina Parentium, located in the Zelena Laguna resort area, about 3 km south of Poreč old town. The exact address is Zelena Laguna 5, 52440 Poreč. The meeting point is in front of the Reception building.

If you’re staying in Poreč centre, a tourist train runs regularly between the old town and Zelena Laguna during the season, with tickets from around €2 to €4. We can also arrange a private transfer (see below).

You have several options:

  • Tourist train — regular service between Poreč centre and Zelena Laguna during the summer season (~€2–4 per person)
  • Taxi — around 5–10 minutes from Poreč old town
  • Walking or cycling — the coastal promenade from Poreč to Zelena Laguna takes about 30–45 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by bike
  • Private transfer — we can arrange this for you on request from Poreč, Vrsar, Funtana, or Tar-Vabriga (transfer price is not included in the tour price)


We’ll always contact you before your tour to confirm the easiest option based on where you’re staying.

Yes, children are welcome on all our daily Poreč Sailing Tours, including the Half-Day, Sunset, Full-Day, and Grand Poreč routes. The boat is safe and comfortable for families, and our skipper makes sure everyone has a great time on board.

For our one-day sailing course, the minimum age is 15, since the course involves active learning and handling the boat.

There is a real chance, but we never guarantee it. Wild bottlenose dolphins live in the waters between Vrsar and Poreč, and during the summer they’re often spotted on our Poreč Sunset Sailing Tour. When dolphins do appear, we observe them respectfully from a distance, never chasing or feeding them. Even on tours without dolphin sightings, the golden-hour sail along the Poreč Riviera is unforgettable on its own.

Both are full-day experiences, but they prioritize different things:

  • Full-Day Poreč Sailing Tour (private only, 8 hours) — flexibility and privacy. Your boat, your call. The standard route covers the Vrsar archipelago and Lim fjord, but you can swap Rovinj for more swimming, more sailing, or a longer lunch ashore. Perfect for groups who want to design their day with the skipper.
  • Grand Poreč Sailing Tour (11 hours) — completeness. The flagship full-itinerary day covering all the iconic stops: Vrsar archipelago → Lim fjord → Rovinj walking break → sunset sail back to Poreč. Ideal for guests who want to see everything in one day.


If you’re not sure which fits you better, contact us — we’ll help you choose.

Yes. We serve drinks on the Half-Day and Sunset tours, and drinks plus tapas on the Full-Day and Grand Poreč tours, so no one is hungry on board.

For the longer tours, we also stop ashore for an optional, more relaxed meal — either at one of the restaurants inside the Lim fjord (famous for its fresh oysters, mussels, and local fish) or in Rovinj old town. Lunch ashore is paid separately, and you choose what you’d like on the day. We think it’s the best way to taste real Istrian food, with no rushed meal on a moving boat.

All our Poreč Sailing Tours and private charters include:

  • Licensed local skipper
  • Fuel
  • Drinks (water, soft drinks, local wine and beer)
  • GoPro camera (so you can capture every moment)
  • Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP)
  • Snorkeling equipment
  • JBL bluetooth speaker

Specific tours may include extras (like tapas on the longer tours). Always check the individual tour page or contact us for full details.

Yes. We offer private sailing charters for groups, families, friends, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and corporate events from Marina Parentium. Our Bavaria 36 cruiser hosts up to 8 guests in comfort. Contact us with your group size, date, and any special requests, and we’ll customize an itinerary just for you.

Our pricing for the 2026 season starts from:

  • Half-Day Poreč Sailing Tour — from €60 per person, or from €300 for the whole boat (private)
  • Poreč Sunset Sailing Tour — from €60 per person, or from €300 for the whole boat (private)
  • Full-Day Poreč Sailing Tour — from €500 (private only, up to 8 guests)
  • Grand Poreč Sailing Tour — from €1100 (private only, up to 8 guests)


Prices include skipper, fuel, drinks, snorkeling gear, SUP, and GoPro. Lunch and transfers are extra. Children’s pricing is available — contact us for an exact quote based on your group size and date.

You can cancel your tour up to 24 hours before the departure and you will be refunded 100% of the amount. If you cancel 24 hours or less before the departure, we cannot offer a refund. If we have to cancel due to bad weather or unsafe conditions, we’ll either reschedule your tour at no extra cost or refund you fully.
Your safety is our top priority. If the weather forecast shows unsafe conditions for sailing, we’ll either reschedule your tour for another day during your stay or refund you in full. Light rain or cloudy skies don’t usually mean cancellation — sometimes those days bring the most dramatic light on the Adriatic. We’ll always contact you the day before to confirm the conditions.
You can book directly through our website, or contact us via email, phone, or WhatsApp. We recommend booking in advance, especially for July and August when sunset tours and weekends fill up fastest. We’ll confirm your booking quickly and reach out before your tour to share meeting details, weather expectations, and answer any last-minute questions.

Our skippers speak fluent English and Croatian. Most also speak German and Italian, which is useful for guests visiting from Germany, Austria, and Italy. If you have a specific language request, let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to match you with the right skipper.
