Where do I meet my tour?
Where do I meet my tour?
-
Arrive at the meeting point at the Hotel Corner in Split before 1pm to take advantage of the included group transfer to the marina in Trogir. Once at the marina an important group meeting will take place, where you will meet the Chief Experience Officer (CEO), skipper, and the other group members. The boat will be departing soon after the arrival meeting.
-
Meeting Point: Hotel Corner, Mažuranićevo šetalište 1, 21000, Split, Croatia
-
There will be an included transfer from Hotel Corner, Split to the ACI marina in Trogir, a UNESCO Protected marina.
-
Make your own way by taxi or public transportation to the meeting point in Split at Hotel Corner before 1pm. Then, you will enjoy an included transfer to the marina in Trogir about 35 minutes away, where you will be boarding your yacht with the group. Please be aware that you must arrive 15 minutes prior to Hotel Corner, as the group transfer will depart at 1pm sharp for the marina in Trogir.
-
To make your arrival and departure days easier we further recommend booking a pre-night and post-night in the chosen hotel, which is where the included arrival and departure transfer will start and end. This is the simplest way to avoid any logistical issues.
What if I'm travelling solo?
What if I'm travelling solo?
G Adventures believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so their group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
What is the sailing boat like?
What is the sailing boat like?
The 54ft sailing boats are equipped with state of the art technology offering all travellers onboard a safe and enjoyable experience. Space is optimized – sleeping quarters are snug, meaning that more of the boat is open from everyone to enjoy. Cabins are allotted by the skipper based on the gender and traveller make-up of the group.
Things to note:
-
The rooming for these boats is assigned upon arrival and neither particular cabins, nor berths can be guaranteed. You will be sharing a bunk or double bed with your travel partner or one of your fellow passengers of the same sex and sharing the bathrooms onboard.
-
Please be aware that as this is a real sailboat, and not a cruise vessel and the space on board is tight. The sleeping quarters on sailboats are generally kept to a minimum size in order to maximize public space and performance.
-
It may be possible to smell engine and/or diesel fumes when in the cabins, due to their proximity to the engine room. Most travel is done during the day, so it is unlikely you will be in the cabin when the engine is running.
-
Some people are not comfortable with the type of close quarter arrangements typically found on sailboats, however if a real sailing experience on a real sailboat is what you are after, then this experience should more than make up for cramped quarters.
-
Opportunities to sleep in open air on main deck are often available.
-
Please note that the skipper may also be sharing the ship's quarters and amenities with you.
-
Power onboard is 220V on European 2 pin sockets. Please note that this is not suitable for sleeping aid machines, as the power source may not always be operating. Bringing a battery pack is recommended.

Spending money
Spending money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Euros (EUR) are accepted everywhere. When exchanging currency, or deciding what to bring, keep in mind that you can withdraw money from an ATM when you arrive. If you need to exchange currency, hotel exchange rates are usually quite poor, so try to avoid changing your money at your hotel. You will probably be better off changing your money in a bank or in one of numerous Bureaux de Change that you will find in towns.
On the Croatia sailing trips, the G Adventures skipper will offer to make a food kitty for small items, such as ice, water, milk, snacks, drinks, and so on. The average amount suggested for the kitty is around EUR50 per person, per week.
Visas and entry requirements
