Omi: One-Day Trip with the Sailboat Nana – Private Tour

Traveling along the Dalmatian coast, you often hear about busy boat tours packed with strangers or quick trips that leave you wanting more. This private day trip aboard Nana offers a different vibe — a relaxed, personalized adventure suited for those craving authentic Croatian charm and a peaceful escape on the water. While it’s not a wild party boat or an all-day sightseeing marathon, it’s perfect if you’re after a tranquil, intimate experience.

What I really like about this trip is how it combines authentic local flavor with a laid-back sailing vibe. The fact that it’s fully private means you can tailor the day to your interests — whether that’s lounging in the sun, swimming in secluded bays, or simply savoring regional food and wine. Also, the chance to explore Puia, a charming small town with traditional stone houses and cobblestone streets, makes this stand out from more generic coastal tours.

That said, a possible consideration is the timing and pace. The tour runs from 10 AM to 6 PM, so it’s a full day, but it’s not a party-focused cruise. If you’re expecting nonstop activity or a lively party boat, this might feel a bit subdued. It suits travelers who appreciate good conversation, scenic sailing, and authentic experiences over high-energy entertainment.

This experience seems best suited for couples, small groups, or anyone valuing privacy and genuine local encounters. If you’re looking for a flexible, scenic day on the water with good food and wine, this could be just the ticket.

Exploring the Dalmatian Coast on Nana

When you think about sailing along Croatia’s coast, picture crystal-clear waters, rugged islands, and charming villages. This private trip aboard Nana promises all of that, but with the added benefit of exclusivity. You’re not just a face in a crowd — you’re the focus of the day.

Starting at 10:00 AM in Omi, the boat departs with a friendly, local skipper. The entire experience feels like a trip with a friend who knows all the best spots. We loved the way the tour balances relaxation and discovery — it’s a gentle pace, with plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun or splash into the water.

The first stop: Puia

Puia is a highlight — a small, peaceful town on Bra Island known for its traditional stone houses and tranquil atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for a stroll, with cobblestone streets that whisper stories of old Croatia. The town’s charm lies in its simplicity and beauty, offering a glimpse into local life far from the crowds.

One guest commented, “It’s one of the most beautiful small towns in Croatia. We loved wandering its quiet streets and taking photos of the stone houses.” For many travelers, Puia acts as a lovely introduction to Croatian coastal life.

Secluded Bays and Water Activities

After exploring Puia, the boat anchors in a secluded bay, giving you the chance to unwind. Here, you might find yourself swimming in transparent waters, snorkeling to see colorful fish and underwater rocks, or paddling along calm waters on a paddleboard. The environment is designed for relaxation, with plenty of time to soak up the serenity.

The reviews echo this sentiment — “The bay was perfect for swimming and relaxing. We loved the peacefulness and the clear water.” It’s rare to find such unspoiled spots without hordes of other travelers.

Culinary Delights and Drinks

One of the tour’s real treats is the lunch featuring regional Croatian products. Expect fresh, flavorful dishes that highlight local ingredients. Paired with Croatian white wine and cold beer, it’s a true taste of the region. Water and juices are available throughout, keeping everyone refreshed.

This focus on regional cuisine elevates the experience beyond just sailing — it’s a chance to enjoy authentic flavors in a stunning setting. Guests have raved about the quality of the food and drinks, describing them as “delicious” and “perfectly paired.”
