Inspired by the legendary success of the Catamarans Cup, Istion Yachting proudly presented the Skradin Cup, set to redefine the standards!
Starting our newest sailing adventure through the Adriatic directly from our brand new yacht charter base in Skradin, sailing through Zlarin & Opat, docking to Telascica bay, anchoring & enjoying the captivating sunset in the island of Kaprije to finally end our Croatian adventure at the seaside wonder of Primosten.
The event began on Saturday with a check-in at ACI Skradin Marina, followed by a delightful Greek wine and ouzo tasting at our offices. A Greek gastronomy event with a buffet lunch set the stage before we sailed through the scenic canal and lake. The evening featured a lively crew presentation and a fun crew style competition.
On Sunday, after the skipper's briefing, we set sail from Skradin to Zlarin, where the first leg of the race to Opat commenced. The day ended with a dinner at Konoba Opat Restaurant and a prize-giving ceremony, highlighted by a Show-Off! competition where crews showcased their creativity through humorous and creative performances.
Monday’s second leg took us from Opat to Telascica, offering the opportunity to explore the stunning National Parks of Kornati and Telascica. The day concluded with dinner at Krsevica Restaurant and awards for the day's winners.
Tuesday saw us sailing to Kaprije for the third leg. The evening featured a cook-off competition, where each crew presented a special dish from their home country. Participants tasted each dish and voted for the best one.
The final leg on Wednesday took us to Primosten, where we held the Shoot-Off! competition, awarding the best photo of the event. The day ended with a farewell dinner at Staro Selo Restaurant, final prize presentations, and a vibrant party.
Thursday offered a free sailing day to enjoy the Dalmatian coast at a leisurely pace, and on Friday, we returned to ACI Skradin Marina. On Saturday, we bid farewell to old and new friends, looking forward to the next year's rendezvous.
