Yes, the boat is equipped with a wifi connection with unlimited data. However, we encourage everyone to take advantage of this break to reduce the use of screens and fully enjoy the experience of disconnecting and reconnecting with nature.

Yes, a videoconference is organized about 1 month before departure. It will allow you to meet: skipper, course organizer and participants, to ask your questions and to prepare yourself with confidence.

Arrival at the marina is ideally on Saturday from 4pm. Boarding on the boat takes place around 5.30 pm. A WhatsApp group will be set up for schedule/info updates.

Departure is on the following Saturday, starting at 8 am. The last night, Friday evening, is spent on board the boat, moored in the marina.

In Croatia, the local currency is the euro. Although some major cities accept cards, many villages and restaurants only accept cash (So plan ahead for any personal purchases).

Flights and transfers to the marina are not included, but I can help you organize your transport if needed.

During Discovery cruises, meals are prepared by the participants, who also organize the shopping before departure (unless you opt for the formula with groceries included). The skipper does not intervene in the preparation of meals but remains available to advise or help if necessary.

Of course! On board, all meals are prepared with local, organic and quality ingredients, mostly vegetarian. Flexible options are available to meet your specific needs (gluten-free, vegan, etc.). All 3 meals are included in your stay, with the exception of alcohol and meals taken ashore. Plan two dinners at local restaurants, including one to celebrate the final evening.

On board, cooking is a moment of conviviality and sharing. Participants take turns in pairs to prepare meals using Mediterranean recipes, carefully selected by your skipper, who is passionate about balanced and gourmet cuisine, offering recipes that combine pleasure and health. All ingredients are of organic quality and locally sourced where possible.

The last dinner takes place in a restaurant near the marina - as the boat must be returned on Friday in the late afternoon. During the week, depending on the route, we can also enjoy a dinner in a typical restaurant on an island, in order to discover local culinary specialties. A budget for 2 dinners at the restaurant is therefore to be expected.

Yes, your cabin will be ready upon arrival with clean sheets and one small and one large towel per person.

The sailboat is equipped with European type-C sockets and USB ports in each cabin, allowing you to easily charge your electronic devices throughout your stay.

Black-soled shoes can sometimes make white bridge marks. If you are planning shoes, make sure they have light-colored soles. You can wear other shoes when you go ashore.

Avoid hard suitcases, which are difficult to store on board. Choose soft bags and bring light and practical clothing.

Travelling light is essential due to limited space on board. You will have equipment such as masks, snorkels, paddles and other accessories available. However, you can bring your own equipment if you wish. Water shoes are highly recommended to protect your feet from sea urchins and rocks. Before you leave, you will receive a detailed list of recommended clothing and equipment to fully enjoy the cruise.

We do our best to organize the sharing of cabins in an optimal way, generally involving people of the same sex. If you have a particular preference, feel free to mention it. You can also book a private cabin (with a specific rate). For fans of starry nights, it is also possible to sleep outside, comfortably sheltered — an experience often cited as one of the most memorable moments of the cruise!

When cruising, there are always ways to find privacy and enjoy time for yourself. Whether it's swimming in the crystal-clear waters, reading a book at the front of the boat, taking a break in your cabin, or setting off to walk on the rocks during a stopover, there are plenty of options available to you to refocus and relax in peace and quiet.

Absolutely! Free time slots are provided to allow everyone to refocus and enjoy their own space, if necessary.

Yes, you can swim, snorkel, and explore the seabed at your leisure. The water is crystal clear and has a pleasant temperature, often above 25°C in summer.

Our itinerary will take you from island to island, practicing coastal sailing. You will thus enjoy varied and spectacular landscapes, with the coast visible most of the time, thanks to the numerous Croatian islands.

Yes, we will make daily stops ashore to offer you the richness of the alternation of life at sea/return to land. It is also an opportunity to explore the local biodiversity and to discover the fauna and flora of the region, and the pretty typical villages.

SAILORAH offers a unique experience thanks to the expertise of Alice, a holistic therapist and experienced skipper. Her natural kindness, her listening skills and her communication skills, which come from her job as a therapist, create a warm and secure environment. Every detail is designed for the well-being of participants: choice of healthy and delicious food, equipment dedicated to comfort and relaxation, and a constant concern to take care of each person on board, well beyond the expectations of a classic cruise.

The sailboats I select (monohulls and catamarans) are modern, large and very stable, which considerably reduces wave movements. The itineraries are designed to minimize this risk by sailing near islands, which act as natural barriers against waves. If necessary, your skipper, also a therapist, can accompany you with natural remedies, pressure bracelets and tablets against seasickness. In general, the body acclimatizes quickly, and the first night on board is often enough to make you feel "marinated" (acclimated to life at sea). Contact me before departure for personalized advice.

“Blue Health” highlights the positive effects of the sea on our overall health (physical, mental, emotional). Direct contact with water improves self-esteem, soothes the autonomic nervous system through its calming effect on the body, and stimulates the secretion of pleasure hormones such as serotonin and dopamine. In addition, the sensory stimuli transmitted by water promote the oxygenation of organs and the brain, offering a feeling of renewal and overall well-being.

As one patient with depression once said:” Water has healed me more than fifteen years of medication ”. Water is an optimal immersive experience, capable of profoundly transforming our well-being.

• Be interested in personal development and human well-being.
• Enjoy the sea, be attracted to sailing or be curious to discover it.
• No sailing experience is required. If you want to learn the basics, I will be happy to introduce you.
• Be ready to experience community life on board a sailboat.

It is best to know how to swim to get the most out of the sea experience. However, if you are not completely comfortable in the water, I provide equipment such as life jackets, swimming platforms, floating noodles, and safety lines. I make sure everyone can feel confident and enjoy the cruise.

No sailing experience is needed! If you wish, I will be happy to guide you in discovering the basics of navigation.

At the start of the cruise, a provisional itinerary is presented according to the weather conditions and the expectations of the participants. However, adjustments may be required along the way due to unforeseen circumstances, such as weather or safety issues. The skipper, who has full authority on board, can change the itinerary if necessary. Any request for changes from participants will be taken into account, but the final decision is up to the skipper.

On average, we sail about 3 hours a day (with swim stops!) , depending on weather conditions.

Yes! We use sails as soon as possible, depending on weather conditions and wind direction. The itinerary is often adapted to take advantage of the best navigation conditions and chosen according to the needs of the internship workshops. If the wind weakens or if we need to arrive on time at a port, or a cove, we sometimes use the engine, but we always prefer to sail as soon as possible.

Sailing at sea may seem daunting, but your cruise is supervised by a qualified and experienced skipper who is available 24 hours a day.

Croatia is one of the safest places to sail, there is always a port near a small, welcoming village or an island behind which to take shelter. The weather conditions are generally favorable, with moderate winds that allow for comfortable and safe navigation.

• Skipper : définit et adapte le parcours en fonction des besoins, assure la sécurité, initie à la voile, prodigue des conseils pratiques et garantit un encadrement bienveillant.

Yes, it is possible to sail yourself in Croatia if you have the required qualifications. I can then organize the rental of the boat, and advise you on the course according to your specific needs, for a tailor-made experience.

Two types of recent (less than 3 years old) and comfortable sailing boats are available. The choice will depend on your expectations, the workshops planned on board, the activities, the number of participants and your budget. I will guide you to select the sailboat best suited to your needs.

The sailing season extends from May to October. To avoid the crowds and enjoy pleasant temperatures, I recommend the months of May, June and September. These months offer a perfect climate and a more peaceful atmosphere, ideal for complete immersion. The months of July and August are also very pleasant, because the diversity of anchorages available allows you to always find a peaceful place away from the crowds.

A sailing cruise offers total disconnection in an intimate and safe bubble, where each day reveals new landscapes to explore. This multi-sensory experience invites freedom, adaptation to the elements, and a profound reconnection with yourself and nature, while benefiting from the benefits of water and the marine environment, known to calm the mind, reduce stress and revitalize.

This fabulous country, with its 1,244 islands and over 6,000 km of coastline bordering the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic, offers a unique setting for immersive cruises. Between secret coves, villages steeped in history, local traditions and delicious cuisine, each stopover is an invitation to discovery and rediscovered simplicity. Easily accessible, this sailing paradise seduces with its calm waters, preserved landscapes and ideal climate, allowing smooth and safe navigation, even for beginners. Also... it's a love story between Alice and this country, a deep connection that allowed her to know every bend of its coasts, bringing a personal and unique touch to each cruise.

• Immersion cruises : internships around global health and well-being, offering the opportunity for coaches, therapists and other stakeholders to rent a sailboat with Alice as skipper, to create their own retreat program on the water. Alice takes care of all the logistics, from errands to stopovers so that the speakers can focus on their program.
• Discovery cruises : classic cruises to explore Croatian islands with an experienced skipper, ideal for a public looking for relaxation, discovery, and the pleasure of sailing, without a specific health program.
