Flotilla Croatia-Italy Regatta Barcolana
7 day sailing and learning
Adventure along the stunning Adriatic coast, where freedom, teamwork, and the spirit of the sea come together. This flotilla journey combines the relaxed rhythm of island hopping with the excitement of competitive sailing, culminating in the legendary Barcolana Regatta in Trieste — one of the largest and most celebrated sailing events in the world.

Over the course of seven days, participants will sail in a coordinated flotilla of boats, exploring Croatia’s most beautiful islands and coastal towns. Each day brings a new destination — from tranquil bays and historic harbors to lively seaside villages. The flotilla format ensures both independence and camaraderie: every crew navigates its own yacht while sharing the adventure with fellow sailors.

The Spirit of Barcolana
The Barcolana is more than a race — it’s a celebration of sailing culture, passion, and community. Crossing the finish line in Trieste marks not just the end of the voyage, but the beginning of lifelong memories shared among sailors who have conquered the Adriatic together.
