Distance Sailing Journey Malta-Croatia

Enjoy a pleasant and varied sailing trip on board the KAIRÓS from Malta to Apulia and on to Cavtat in Croatia. The route covers around 330-380 nautical miles through the Mediterranean Sea and the southern Adriatic – ideal for those who like longer sailing distances and at the same time appreciate a relaxed life on board.

From Malta, we sail north along the coast of Apulia, which we pass in the area of Brindisi. Along the way, you will enjoy quiet hours on deck, the steady glide under sail and plenty of time to relax. The trip offers a good mix of active sailing and comfortable traveling.

The course continues across the Adriatic to Cavtat, the charming coastal town near Dubrovnik. As with all Sailing Classics voyages, you can lend a hand on board or simply watch the sailing maneuvers – just as you like. The KAIRÓS combines classic sailing with a personal, pleasant atmosphere and ensures that this crossing is both a relaxing and eventful sailing trip.

Itinerary

Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.

Make your own way to Malta. Your journey begins in Malta’s impressive Grand Harbour, one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. KAIRÓS lies in the marina of the historic town of Birgu (Vittoriosa), awaiting her guests. The moment you step aboard KAIRÓS, you sense the special way of life on board: stylish surroundings, a warm-hearted crew and the relaxed atmosphere of a classic sailing yacht.

After the welcome, you enjoy a welcome drink on deck and the first dinner together.

If you wish, you can visit the island’s capital, Valletta, in the morning. This UNESCO World Heritage city captivates with magnificent palaces, churches, fortifications and its unique history. Around midday the lines are cast off. KAIRÓS slowly leaves the Grand Harbour, gliding past Valletta’s historic walls and the old fortifications.

Between Malta and the Adriatic you experience the Mediterranean in its most original form: endless horizons, star-filled nights and the steady rhythm of the sea.

The first shore excursion takes you to Brindisi in the region of Apulia. Enjoy an espresso on the quay, wander through the narrow lanes or simply soak up the Mediterranean flair. Here, sailing adventure meets the Italian way of life.

Time to catch your breath, explore and savour – before heading back out onto the Adriatic.

The coast has long since vanished. Only water and sky shape the day. The rhythm on board begins to settle.

There is much to watch: clouds, light, waves. Conversations begin. Some guests withdraw for a while, others simply enjoy the constant, gentle motion of the ship.

The closer you get to Croatia, the more spectacular the scenery becomes. Here the Adriatic shows itself at its finest: turquoise water, green islands and sheltered bays.

The final nautical miles are marked by relaxed coastal sailing, warm winds and impressive panoramas.

Green hills, calm water and a sheltered bay where you can swim. In the afternoon there is time to go ashore in Cavtat and get a first taste of the Dalmatian way of life. In the evening, the Captain’s Dinner provides a festive finale to an eventful week. Together you look back on a wonderful journey.

After a final breakfast on deck, you disembark in Cavtat. Independent departure or an optional extension of your stay in Croatia.

Your sailing yacht

Our first ship — and with her this special sailing concept was founded in 2007. At 38 m long with 556 m² of sail area, KAIRÓS is a little smaller than CHRONOS and RHEA, which makes her all the more personal and lets guests lend a hand on deck.

Important information

The cruise price includes: costs for the nautical crew and service, accommodation on board in the booked category, sea transport, full board on board / one evening per week to discover the local cuisine at your own expense, water, tea, filter coffee. The price does not include: arrival and departure, transfers, soft drinks, Nespresso and alcoholic beverages, water sports from on board, shore excursions and gratuities.

In summer it is (almost) always nice and warm – although it usually remains pleasant on board above the water – in spring and autumn it is cooler, you sometimes need a sweater, and the weather is more changeable than in summer. The winds of the Mediterranean are as diverse as the countries and can be very different depending on the region.

Life on board the Sailing-Classics yachts is very safe and well organised. The vessels meet the highest safety standards and are inspected annually. The captain and helmsman are graduates of a professional maritime college and undergo continuous professional development. The rest of the crew also receive intensive training in how to deal with emergencies. A compulsory safety briefing takes place at the start of every voyage. Furthermore, despite their speed, the yachts sail with remarkable stability – even in heavy weather, hardly any water comes on deck.

Both German and English are spoken on board the Sailing-Classics yachts. The language used amongst the international crew is English, whilst they communicate with guests in both German and English. On the KAIRÓS, we cannot always guarantee communication in German.

Meals on board Sailing-Classics are organised on a full-board basis and are included in the tour price. The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet, followed by a light two-course lunch and coffee and cake in the afternoon. In the evening, the on-board chef prepares a three-course dinner. On the final evening, the festive Captain’s Dinner is the culinary highlight. Once a week, a dinner is held ashore to sample the regional cuisine – this is not included in the tour price. Special dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for if notified in advance.

Sailing-Classics organises shore excursions using the crew’s motorised dinghies. On request, the crew will take you ashore and collect you again free of charge – simply let the team know in good time. In addition, in many sailing areas, the crew organises guided shore excursions with a local guide or accompanied by a crew member. The price per participant is communicated in advance and charged to your on-board account. Of course, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area on your own.

The cabins on board the Sailing-Classics yachts are comfortable and practically furnished. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower cubicle, individually controlled air conditioning, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, and hand and bath towels. 230-volt sockets are available for charging electronic devices. A reusable water bottle is provided in every cabin and can be refilled at the water dispenser in the saloon.

At Sailing-Classics, you’re warmly invited to get actively involved in sailing – no prior experience or sailing licence required. You can help set and trim the sails, take the helm yourself, or lend a hand with other tasks on deck. The crew will be happy to explain the basics of sailing to you, show you how radar navigation works on the bridge, or give you a tour of the engine room. Those who prefer to relax can simply enjoy the passing scenery – the motto is: ‘Everything is possible, nothing is compulsory.’

To cancel your sailing holiday with Sailing-Classics, please send your cancellation request by email to info@sailing-classics.com. Written notification is required so that the cancellation can be processed officially. Depending on when the cancellation is made, Sailing-Classics’ tiered cancellation terms and conditions will apply. We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect yourself financially.
