September 2016, we visited the Interboot in Friedrichshafen because we wanted to see the new and affordable boat SR30 YACHTLINE. We already had a Drago 29 with a normal hull, but we wanted to replace the boat with a boat with a wide-beam hull. We liked the SR30 YACHTLINE with its sleek look and so we bought a Drago 29 SR30 YACHTLINE.

In March 2017 we were able to take delivery of the boat and first lowered it by crane on the Rhine. This summer there was a dock in the harbor of Philippsburg.

Until the summer vacation we spent many weekends on the boat and also went on a multi-day trip to Loreley.

During the summer vacation, as every year, a three-week vacation in Croatia was planned. We set off in the second week of vacation. Our destination was Jezera on the island of Murter. There the boat docked.
The car and trailer stayed outside the harbor for three weeks. We spent our first two nights in Jezera to get used to it, then the tour started. We spent the first night in a bay with a few other boats in the package, the next day we set off for Vis.

We visited the blue cave on Vis, a small neighboring island, and then anchored in a wonderful bay for swimming.

We spent the night in the port of Vis. There we met a family traveling with 29 YACHTLINE. We went together as we planned the same route for the rest of the holiday. Our next stop was Korcula, a beautiful island with great anchorages. The city of Korcula is an absolute must. However, in high season you should reserve a bed there a few days in advance, otherwise you have no chance. Finally we went to Dubrovnik where we spent three nights. The city is worth a visit. The port was outside the city and we were happy to make ourselves comfortable in our SR30 in the evening. Then the trip back again. Just after Dubrovnik we had to go to Mljet bay because of a violent storm. We went to a safe bay and sat out of the storm.

The last stopover on the way back before we ended our vacation in Jezera was Solta.

The three-week round trip with our comfortable SR30 YACHTLINE was a complete success and we had a lot of fun.
