Elegant Sunset Cruise Under Sails, Large Yacht, Full Comfort

Traveling through Dalmatia and thinking about a special way to end your day? A sunset cruise on a luxurious sailyacht might just be the perfect choice. While we haven’t personally taken this exact tour, it’s caught our eye as a memorable way to enjoy Zadar’s beautiful evening skies, and plenty of travelers seem to agree. With a full-amenity yacht, a relaxed sailing approach, and champagne included, it promises a blend of comfort and romance.
What really makes this experience stand out is its focus on relaxation and quality—sailing instead of motoring offers a quieter, more immersive view of the coastline and sunset. Plus, the small group size makes it intimate enough for couples but still ideal for a special celebration. On the flip side, if you’re not a fan of sailing or have very specific timing needs, this might not be the best fit, as it’s a 1.5-hour experience with a set itinerary. Still, if you’re looking for a romantic, scenic, and well-reviewed outing, this cruise is worth considering.

Why You’ll Love the Elegant Sunset Cruise

This cruise isn’t about high adrenaline or wild partying; it’s about savoring the moment. We loved that the experience is focused on comfort and atmosphere. The large yacht feels spacious and well-equipped, which makes the 1.5 hours glide by effortlessly. It’s an ideal way to unwind, away from the busy streets of Zadar, with the gentle sway of the boat and the soft sounds of the sea.
One of the standout features is the sailing preference. Unlike many boat tours that rely on noisy motors, this one emphasizes the serenity of sailing on full sails. It truly enhances the tranquil vibe and allows you to feel more connected to the sea and the environment. Plus, the professional skipper is often praised in reviews—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, which elevates the whole experience.
Another thing we appreciate is the inclusion of champagne. It’s a small touch that turns an already special moment into something more indulgent. Many travelers, including those celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, find this cruise an elegant way to mark their occasion. The personalized extras like photoshoots, cakes, or additional bottles of champagne can make it even more memorable, making it a flexible experience that can suit your celebration needs.
What to Expect on Your Sunset Sailing

Starting from the marina, the cruise takes you on a gentle turnaround of the old town—a scenic route that captures Zadar’s charming architecture and vibrant coastline. As you sail along the city channel, you’ll have the chance to enjoy panoramic views of the historic city walls and landmarks, all bathed in the golden glow of sunset. The silent sailing—thanks to the yacht’s preference for sails over motor—means you can truly relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
Once out on the water, the crew will position the yacht so you can watch the sunset without obstruction. Many reviews mention how magical the sky looks as the sun dips below the horizon, turning the sky shades of pink, orange, and purple. It’s a scene that’s worth capturing, and the crew is happy to assist with photos for those celebrating or just wanting a nice memory.
The tour concludes back at the marina, which is conveniently close to the city’s attractions. The intimate group size—limited to 10 participants—means you won’t feel lost in a crowd, and the personalized service is a real plus. For couples, especially, this cruise offers a romantic setting with the gentle sea breeze, soft champagne, and the breathtaking views.
The Experience and Extra Touches

While the standard experience includes skipper, boat, and champagne, many guests report that the friendly, professional crew makes a difference. “Damir, the skipper, was amazing!” one traveler from France shared, highlighting how attentive and welcoming the crew was.
If you’re celebrating something special—like a birthday, anniversary, or even a proposal—this cruise can be tailored with extras like cakes, photoshoots, or additional drinks. The flexibility to add these touches makes it suitable for a variety of occasions.
The price point of $44 per person offers reasonable value, especially considering the exclusivity and comfort. When you factor in the full amenities on the yacht (private cabins, toilet, fridge), the cost becomes even more justifiable for a memorable, relaxed evening.
