Experience Report SR30 YACHTLINE South Croatia

September 2016, we visited Interboot in Friedrichshafen because we wanted to see the new 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 therefore immediately liked the SR30 YACHTLINE and so the Drago 29 became an SR30 YACHTLINE.

We took delivery of the boat in March 2017 and first lowered it by crane on the Rhine. We spent many weekends on the boat until the summer holidays and also went on a multi-day trip to Loreley.

During the summer vacation, as every year, there was a three-week vacation in Croatia. We set off in the second week of vacation. Our destination was Jezera on the island of Murter. We docked there by boat and the car and trailer stayed outside the harbor for three weeks. We spent the first two nights in Jezera to get used to it, then the tour started in the direction of 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 a Drago29. We sailed together for the rest of the holiday because we had planned the same route.

Our next stop was Korcula, a beautiful island with great anchorages. Staying in the city of Korcula was a must. But in season you have to reserve a bed there a few days in advance, otherwise you have no chance.

After Korcula we went to Mljet, also a beautiful island, where, thanks to our new friends who already knew their way around, we lounged in the most beautiful bays and spent time in taverns with excellent food.

Finally we went to Dubrovnik where we spent three nights. The city is worth a visit but unfortunately completely crowded. The port was outside the city and we were happy to make ourselves comfortable on our SR30 in the evening. Then the trip was back again. We started in Mljet bay just after Dubrovnik because the weather changed.

The last stopover on the way back before we ended our vacation in Jezera was Solta. Three weeks round trip with our SR30 was a complete success and we had a lot of fun.
