Student sailing week is intended for all students and those who feel like one!
Student time comes and goes and it’s important to use every opportunity to make memories.
The best reward for completing your student obligations and final exams is a much-deserved vacation – a week of relaxation and enjoyment. There are few better locations for a holiday, new friendships, or even love, than the stunning Adriatic Sea.
Eight unforgettable days at the end of the academic year will reset and recharge any student deserving of a vacation, while also preparing him for new challenges.
Do you remember the trip you were never able to arrange with your friends? SSW will help you organize an unforgettable summer for you and your crew!
The plan is to depart between 1 PM and 5 PM from different marinas in order for everyone to sail into Tatinja cove on island Šolta. The cove in which our flotilla will meet and where an unforgettable trip will begin. We spend our first night in the cove, where you’ll become familiar with the ship, the crew and the whole SSW squad!
On Day 2 the flotilla sets sail towards the island of Vis, one of Croatia’s most fascinating islands. On our way there, each skipper will conduct our sailing school, which will teach you how to trim your sails and steer a sailboat using the wind. With its rich history and natural beauty, Vis is a must-see for any tourist visiting Croatia’s islands. We thoroughly recommend independent island tours using mopeds, or the “Military Route” in SUVs where you can tour round the whole island, while learning more about the history of Vis.
On Day 3 our flotilla sails around the island of Vis, visiting Stiniva cove on Vis and the famous Blue Grotto on the island Biševo. We finish our sailing on the island of Biševo where you can try out free diving course with our instructors! Also, you can participate in basic yoga with our instructor while having a view of a sunset above the sea.
On Day 4 after morning yoga, breakfast and some rest, we sail towards the island of Hvar, or Paklinski Islands to be more precise, near the city of Hvar. There, we continue our day with a SSW beach party at Mamato Bar. Sightseeing, going to many excellent bars and restaurants, and visiting the fortress of Fortica, is possible throughout the day. In the evening, we’ve organized a SSW party at Kiva Bar.
On Day 5 we sail towards the oldest city in Croatia – Stari Grad on the island of Hvar. Even more than 2,400 years ago, the Greeks from the island of Paros in the Aegean Sea saw the excellent protected position of the bay and founded the city of Faros (today’s Stari Grad). Following their waterway, the SSW flotilla will sail into a calm harbor and form a circular raft. In the middle of the 15th century, the Renaissance nobleman and poet Petar Hektorović began the construction of his summer house, which can be visited. Apart from its rich history, Stari Grad on Hvar is a wonderful place to visit the small restaurants hidden in the streets and passages. Also, freediving, yoga and fitness are some of the activities that we will hold throughout the day.
On day 6 in the morning hours after swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling on the sunniest island in Croatia (Hvar), we continue our journey towards the northeastern coast of the island of Šolta. In addition to its natural beauty, Nečujam Bay also hides an underwater secret where our freedivers will be able to test their learned abilities. Sunbathing, socializing and partying will continue and do not stop until the late hours!
On Day 7 our ships begin the journey back to their marinas which they sailed out of, due to arrive by 4 PM. Each ship chooses their route and activities to use our final day together to the fullest. At the end of a week filled with new experiences, friendships, and memories, pause for a moment to take it all in, have a look around the incredible scenery you find yourself in, and try not to be overwhelmed. Your time as a student is one of the most beautiful stages in life and we’re sure this has been a week you will remember.
On Day 8, after spending the night on board in the starting marina, comes the end of an unforgettable week. In the morning, our SSW crew disembark. Don’t forget to keep in touch with your newly-made friends and frame the photos which will stay with you for the rest of your life.
