NEW: Sunsail's Exclusive One-Design Flotilla

New for this summer, Sunsail is offering a one-off flotilla week comprised exclusively of Sunsail 36i's providing less scope for an unfair speed advantage during the optional day races. This one-design flotilla on Sunsail 36i monohull yachts from Jeanneau starts from Dubrovnik in Croatia on 8th May2016 for one week. The 36i is perfect for discovering the Croatian sailing area and it can, due to its size, easily navigate the small town quays and makes anchoring up in spectacular bays along the Dalmatian coast effortless.

On the first day, after boarding the yacht, enjoy Dubrovnik Old Town, one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in the world and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend the day making yourself at home amidst the Renaissance palaces and ancient citadels, exploring the labyrinth of marble paved streets to find hidden cafés and shops.

Set sail and island hop your way along the Dalmatian Coast to the emerald isle of Mljet with a stopover at Suđurađ, Šipan. Drop anchor in the picturesque bay of Mljet National Park for easy access to the park's dense woodland and two saltwater lakes.

On day three, it's a straight shot of blue water sailing from Polače to Lumbarda on the Eastern Cape of Korčula. This charming fisherman's village is situated in the famous Grk wine vineyards. Enjoy your afternoon relaxing on the many sandy beaches or head to the vineyards for wine tasting.

After a free sailing day, reunite with the Mljet flotilla fleet at the relaxed seaside village of Okuklje, located on the northern shores of Mljet. From there, sail past the beautiful Elaphiti Islands on your way back to the base in Dubrovnik.

In a flotilla, up to twelve yachts are travelling together. And, of course, sailors have the 24/7 assistance of a lead crew with skipper, engineer and host to organise all the on-land excursions..

Price for this one-design Mljet flotilla is from £1500 for a Sunsail 36i three cabin monohull yacht (sleeps up eight people). This includes a fully equipped cruising yacht for the duration of your holiday including all sailing, navigation and safety equipment, linen including bath and tea towels, snorkelling equipment, full cylinder of cooking gas and full tank of water, one tank of yacht fuel, yacht cleaning, yacht Damage Waiver, 24 hour support of the Sunsail lead crew. Flights from Gatwick to Dubrovnik with Easyjet cost from £175 per person and transfers from £30 per person, both of which can be arranged separately.
