Experience Report: SR30 YACHTLINE Croatia Trip

Our exciting journey in August started with the SR30 YACHTLINE, which we took delivery of in April this year. In June, we set off for our summer vacation in Croatia with our 1-week test tour in Main.

Stinica

Crossing by ferry – Rab Lopar Island – Rab Island

From San Marino Campground

Arrival at the Lord

As the trip was too long for us in one piece, we used the boat for one night to sleep in the rest area. This allowed us to comfortably approach the rest of the way to the ferry.

Thanks to a smooth ferry crossing, we finally arrived on Rab Island. Although we had no reservation, we were immediately allocated a space at the Lopar marina and the boat was launched by crane the same day. We were so relieved and happy to finally be allowed to move into our houseboat for the next three weeks.

We spent our first nights in and around Lopar. Once we had adequately equipped the boat with food, water and electricity, we started our personal adventure. We have to admit that it was strange at first, because we just set off and didn’t know where we were going in the evening.

Obrovac

Our tour started along the mainland towards Obrovac. This small place had previously been recommended to us by other guests from Lopar. The distance was too far for us for one day, so we stayed one night in Novigrad. The next day it continued. Since you have to cross a very low bridge in Obrovac, our adjustable roof was worth “gold”.

Vlasici – Pag island

The nature around the canyon was absolutely mesmerizing and jumping from the waterfall was a real experience. Then we spent the night in a picturesque cove in Vlasici on the island of Pag. We can highly recommend the adjacent restaurant. The next day we drove to Zadar, well rested.

Zadar

We refueled here and then explored the old town. The old buildings and small streets are very impressive. In the evenings the city comes alive and the streets are filled with artists and visitors from all over the world.

Pasman Island

Since we were traveling with two children, it was very important for us to bathe again and again to keep them happy. We are on Sv. Pasman Island, which is very sheltered and also a beautiful bay. Here we anchored for the first time on a buoy and spent the night here. Then we came to Pirovac in ACI Marina as our refrigerators needed to be refilled.

Zirje Island

After another day of swimming in Potkucina Bay on Kakan Island, we reached our main destination, the Krka waterfalls. You can take the SR30 YACHTLINE to Skradin marina to change to a boat that will take you to the national park. We were all excited by this natural landscape and cooling off under the waterfalls was inevitable. As we didn’t want to spend the night in Skradin, we went to ACI Marina to stay in Vodice for the evening. Here we also bought our ticket for the Kornati archipelago, because the next day we wanted to stop for a swim in Stupica bay on the island of Zirje.

Arrival in Germany

After almost four weeks of beautiful weather, turquoise blue water and countless experiences, the journey home was extremely difficult. As a family of 4, we had enough space on board the SR30 YACHTLINE with its spacious comfort area and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. We are already looking forward to our next vacation, which will definitely take place again in Croatia.

Thank you dear Öchsner family for unforgettable days!
