Cruise in Marina Veruda

IvanWe arrived in Pula a day before the beginning of our charter. Something I recommend as Pula has a lot to offer. We drove to Marina Veruda around 4 PM on the following day. (The information stated that the boat is available from 5 PM) This is far to late in October, even though the formalities were dealt with swiftly. By the time we returned from shopping to provision the boat it was pitch dark. Not good to get settled on the boat. The sailing area of Istria is fantastic with plentiful possibilities. We covered approximately 160 nm in our week. Being new to the Adriatic the Mediterranean mooring, using two lazy lines, initially posed some challenges to our husband and wife team of two, the good news: we are still married. My recommendation: Read up on it and do a practice run in your starting marina before you leave. Upon our return we had to line up for refuelling for some 45 minutes. Factor this into your day plan. Overall: The boat was in excellent technical condition for its age, the marinas are clean and well equipped (if not cheap), the sailing area exceeded our already high expectations. We are definitely coming back.

CarolineFrom the first contact to checking in on our sailing vessel, everything went smooth :) We can recommend The Globe Sailor, they have a good overview of available boats at any time.
