Had an amazing week on the boat, our skipper Marko was absolutely fantastic! His attitude truly made it the most memorable time of my life

Date of experience : June 14, 2024

Marko is the Goat

Marko was a great skipper and helped us enjoy our Sailweek experience. His knowledge and skills were outstanding and he gave us great opportunities to have fun on the boat.

Best week of your life

Sail week is definitely the best week of my life. This experience is one I will cherish forever. My group is already planning another trip for next year and we will be requesting our same crew again. Our crew Marko and Morgan were absolutely phenomenal. They made our experience truly incredible, would not have been the same without them. Marko, the most interesting man alive and the best skipper, did such a spectacular job. Not only did he keep us safe but made sure we had the best experience. He had an immense amount knowledge and experience of the boat and the route. Marko would also walk us to the clubs at night to ensure they were safe. Which for a group of young women traveling together meant so much to us, he kept us safe. We loved listening to his stories though out the trip Morgan, top chef and new friend, did such an amazing job. She communicated thoroughly to understand our needs and what we wanted. Even when we didn’t know what we were hungry for. Having a host allowed us to focus more on the experience rather than cooking. I think every single one of us is bummed we have to go back to making our own food at home. Adding Morgan as our host was the smartest decision we made. until next year!

The time of my life

I went for the first week of the 2023 season. My boat had Skipper Marco and Hostess Morgan! They made our trip amazing. Marco and Morgan both went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience ever. It was Morgan’s first week being a hostess and she was so experienced and professional it seemed like she’s been doing this for years. She made us so many charcuterie boards that were lovely to snack on during the day! Her food was amazing and she followed all of our dietary restrictions! She was so fun and felt like another friend on board! Marco impressed us so much! We had pizza for dinner one night and Marco set up a table and cushions on the front of the boat and made a candle out of an orange peel! He got us ice cream one night as a surprise and made us ice cream Sundays! He also made Moscow mules one night for us! And made a watermelon into a shark/plane for the raft party!! It was the most wholesome and personal experience we had all trip. Marco had the best restaurant recommendations and made us reservations daily! He even surprised us with fireworks and we got a personal fireworks show! I truly believe our experience was as beautiful as it was because of him! We will be returning next year and asking to have Marco and Morgan on our boat again!!

Sail Croatia party route

Wouldn’t have been the best experience if it wasn’t for our amazing skipper Connor! Showed us all the best spots and he’s one heck of a sailor!!!! 😁

Connor for skipper of the year

My Sailweek experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Being remarkably affordable, it offered exceptional value for an unforgettable adventure. The new and engaging experiences were endless, from exhilarating onshore activities, to lively nights out. Our skipper, Connor, was an absolute standout. His dedication to ensuring our enjoyment was unparalleled, always going above and beyond to accommodate us. His knowledge and rapport with the locals allowed a special look into each island or town. The crew would often comment about his infectious positivity and enthusiasm which elevated the moral of the boat each day. The camaraderie among the crew was something special that I’ve not experienced before. My crew was filled with remarkable individuals who enriched the journey and made it more enjoyable tenfold. Sailweek masterfully combines adventure, relaxation, and the forging of new friendships, making it an experience I wholeheartedly endorse. I will definitely be back soon.

Amazing Sailing with Maks (Skipper)

Great trip, great skipper (Maks)! You will Party a lot - everyday. Don’t expect much sightseeing as this is the ultra party route. The organization is professional. Went as solo traveler left with new friends. Keep in mind, however, that 99% are Australians and Kiwis. The vast majority arrives in groups. Super fun. Especially the circle rafting. Maks was a fantastic skipper and made us all enjoy sailing and also joined the parties. 100% recommend. You will do it once and be happy.

Great week in Croatia

10/10 recommendation for the Dubrovnik route! We had the best time on the boat and with our skipper Thijs. There are a lot of cool and beautiful stops on the route and Thijs and his team made sure to tell us about where to go when docked and organized some fun activities etc. There is a food package on board but also lots of opportunities to eat out on an island. Swim stops, island exploring, party options, sailing and awesome people on board made this trip so recommendable.

Date of experience : July 27, 2023

Amazing week !!!!

What an amazing week we just had on sail week! Highly recommend it ! Met the most amazing people and also had the most wonderful skipper MATT!!! He went above and beyond for all us girls in his boat, with numerous water activities, hanging out with us as much as he could and just always making us laugh with his great dance moves! Definitely made sail that much better having him as our skipper!!

Date of experience : August 19, 2023

Our skipper Miškela was the most…

Our skipper Miškela was the most amazing host/ skipper and now friend we could ask for. From giving the best recommendations for dining and excursions to making some tasty crepes on our last day , we couldn’t have asked for more. Lastly , to feel so safe in the hands of someone else is truly remarkable and we will all be grateful for our time with SailWeek forever more❤️ Love YOUR FAV Irish “lads” and lassies 🇮🇪

Had the most amazing week sailing

Had the most amazing week sailing! So much fun. Skipper Matt was a 10/10, being super organised, getting us girls involved with the sailing, making us laugh loads, letting us stop for swims along the sail when we asked and doing many fun water activities off the boat! Definitely one of the best skippers out there! We love you Matt and sail week❤️

Date of experience : August 26, 2023

Wow what a week and it couldn’t have been the week it was without our skipper Sir Alex. He gave us insight to all the local knowledge and history of the islands, even though he isn’t from Croatia , he was kind, considerate, helpful and his professionalism was clear to see throughout as he took pride in the boats appearance. Thank you Sailweek for an amazing week and thank you Sir Alex for being you, I will miss staring into those ocean blue eyes of yours. Hvala Ti

Date of experience : August 04, 2023

Absolutely incredible

Absolutely recommend for anyone considering doing the sail. Tick off the bucket list. Event staff and skippers were incredible, the whole experience was honestly something else. We had dušan as our skipper and he was amazing. Thanks again to him. Vidi mo se drugi put 😉

Party Route Sail Week

Our skipper Rasmus made our entire week so enjoyable. Lots of fun, organised and overall good bloke. Great week, great sailor, great man. Sail Week itself was awesome as well - constant communication and organised great parties and events. Could not have asked for more especially from Rasmus.

Date of experience : July 21, 2023

Would highly recommend!

From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our sail week experience. Best parts of the week include the circle raft, scootering in Vis, taking part in sailing and partying in Hvar! Luke was a fantastic skipper who was very knowledgeable about sailing. Throughout the trip we were encouraged to be involved in many tasks of docking and sailing which was a great experience. Would recommend to anyone that is keen to see some amazing places and party into the night!

Sail week ultra wk 2

Sail week ultra wk 2, was by far the best experience ive had in a long time, everything is so well organised, and lovely staff, couldn’t have asked for a better skipper (ANA), shes an absolute legend on n off the boat, cant thank her enough for showing me the ropes of how the sail boat works!, definitely gonna be back next year!

Date of experience : July 14, 2023

Unforgettable experience with a great crew ☺️

We have had an unforgettable experience on the boat LeeLoo with our skipper, Miskela. We learned alot about sailing the Croatian waters, had outstanding nights out and the food was to die for. Would recommend Restaurant Pojoda in Vis to anyone ! Miskela went above and beyond to make our sailweek spectacular. Great banter was had ! Thanks all.

Awesome Sailweek experience!

Absolutely amazing week, pretty well organised from the Sailweek team perspective. Had the best skipper we could have asked for, Thijs. Made the week infinitely better, he really got involved in all our fun, he was just one of our mates for the whole week rather than our skipper!

Hands down one of the best weeks I’ve had the pleasure to experience. Our skipper BORKO, was absolutely amazing. He made sure we were fully briefed and remained organised at all times. He was also able to provide great options for restaurants to go to and places to visit. Only advice would to have the improved communication prior to initial departure l. We found some groups were informed of activities, where as we found nothing had been provided. Cannot thank Sail Week and BORKO enough for such a great week.

Croatia Sailing Tours: How to Choose the Best Island Sail Week in Croatia (2024)

Posted on Last updated: May 21, 2024

So you haven’t been on any Croatia sailing tours yet?! What are you waiting for?! As a booming newer destination in the past decade, sailing Croatia is now on the radar of travelers everywhere. As someone who has been working there for quite a few years, I’ll tell you that there’s no better way to experience this beautiful country than to sail Croatia – spend a week on a sail week trip of the Croatian islands.

Croatia sailing trips are becoming so popular that new companies and Croatia sailing weeks are popping up left and right; everyone wants to try to get their slice of the booming business of the perfect idyllic holiday.

There are some companies that have been around for years and some new ones, some bigger sailing companies and some smaller ones, both budget and luxury sailing tours, and some massive boats with more passengers or smaller ones with less. There’s definitely a lot of choices when it comes to picking the best Croatia sailing tours, and I’m here to help you figure out which sail week in Croatia may be right for you.

With dozens of companies and hundreds of boats, it's hard to know how to choose the best Croatia Sailing Tours for you! This guide will help you choose the right island sail week company based on what YOU are looking for.

How I Know About Croatia Sailing Tours

I worked three summers as a tour guide on these very Croatia sailing tours I’ll be describing to you, and during that time, I got to know the in’s and out’s of all the different companies and different tours. In 2022 I became a partner in my very own Croatia sailing company for young professionals called Fjaka Sail (more on that later) and helped run our first tours in 2023.

I have come to know what the selling points of each company are, what makes each one different, which tours are better for what ages, and what kinds of people tend to book a certain tour due boat size, party level, and more.

Below I have outlined all that I know about each Croatia sailing company and what kind of person it may be more geared towards. I’m hoping you can take all this info to make the perfect decision on the right one for you! If you need any help planning, feel free to reach out to me by email or DM me on Instagram.

Disclaimer: All this info is my personal opinion from working 5+ seasons of sail Croatia on the Adriatic. They may not be correct or agreeable, but I hope my experience can be used to help you choose the best Croatia sailing tour week for your needs. This post also contains affiliate links.

What to Know Before Booking Croatia Sailing Tours

First of all, know what to bring! Here’s my sailing trip packing list , and everything else you need to know is below.

Sailing Croatia Tour Boats

Before I start, I want to give a quick description of what kinds of boats you’ll be looking at for your sail week Croatia. The boats come in a few different classes and styles that you will want to know before you go! Links to companies are below.

Renting Your Own Boat

If this all seems too complicated to you and you already have a group, you might want to consider renting your own boat and doing your own tour. This is totally possible. I recommend using a site like Sailo to rent your own boat . You can view boats, where they are located, prices… etc. It’s kind of like an Airbnb for boats.

Floatilla Style Croatia Tours/Boats

Some tours run in a floatilla style, meaning that there will be 5+ (usually even more, up to 20+) smaller boats of 8-10 people all sailing together. Each small boat will have a skipper and the option to have a hostess. These boats don’t specifically have a guide, but workers who help to run the whole floatilla smoothly.

Bigger Sail Croatia Boats – B/A/A+

Companies with bigger boats run as one complete tour by themself. Bigger boats will hold around 25-40 people. These boats generally have their own Croatian sailing crew (captain, chef, bartender/server, sailor(s), etc) and may have a tour guide responsible specifically for the well-being of the guests. Bigger boats come in three categories:

B Class boats – These are wooden boats with shared facilities and usually no air conditioning. They are, of course, quite a lot cheaper. Cabins will have two bunk beds each. These boats are usually smaller (18-25 people) and are quite the authentic sailing experience!

A Class boats –  A-class boats have ensuite toilets in each cabin and sometimes communal air conditioning in the hallway or saloon/eating room. Beds are usually bunk with two in each room. There’s a large range of A-class boats – some much nicer than others – but will all have this basic ensuite structure.

A+ Class boats – A+ boats are the luxury of the seas and are the fancy white boats you will see on the Adriatic that hold 35+ people. A+ boats have air conditioning in each room, two (not bunk) beds in a spacious cabin, a safe in each room, and LOTS of space to chill – including a big upper/lower deck, good speakers, and hot breakfast.

Smaller Private Yachts

Some Croatia sailing tour companies that are more family/all-ages oriented will have one smaller 8-10 person boat available for Croatia yacht charter hire for the week. These will come with a skipper and possibly a hostess.

Katarina Lines

Because all boats are privately owned and operated, most companies use an agency to obtain the boats they work with. The agency that operates most of Croatia is called Katarina Line. 

You will see these logos all over the place, and you can actually book tours with KL themselves, as they have some sail Croatia tours that are not affiliated with a specific company and also can help find you what company works best for your needs.

Croatia Sailing Tours Routes/Duration

You will find that most of the Croatia sailing tours are one week, from Saturday morning to Saturday morning. The brochures may say 8 days because of the first and last Saturday. Some run Wed-Wed or Thurs-Thurs, and are usually quieter.

Sail Croatia weeks will mostly be one-way or round-trip between Split and Dubrovnik. If you fly into one of the airports, it’s easy to get a ferry/bus transfer to the other city if need be.

On bigger, more highly powered boats (not floatillas) you will either sail Split-Split, Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik, Split-Dubrovnik, or Dubrovnik-Split. Floatillas will generally not make it all the way between Split and Dubrovnik because they’re smaller boats and can’t move as fast.

Croatia Sailing Destinations:

When looking at routes, make sure you pick places you like most (or just follow my recommendations!). To read a bit more about different destinations, see my guides below:

Split – Day Trips from Split – Vis Island – Hvar Island – Makarska – Korcula Island – Dubrovnik – Day Trips from Dubrovnik – ALL OF CROATIA – 20 Best Festivals in Croatia

Croatia Sailing Tours Added Costs, Currency, and Optional Activities

When you go on a Croatia sailing trip, you must be prepared for extra costs . Most routes will include breakfast and lunch, but not dinner (except floatillas, which do not include either). There are usually two optional dinners onboard the boats during the week which you can purchase if you wish.

Drinks and dinners on the boats will go on a tab system you can pay at the end of the week. Drinks and food outside the boat will usually be paid for in cash in euros, which is the official currency since 2023 (it used to be Croatian Kuna). Any adventure tours (like zip lining ) or activities will cost extra as well.

So What is the best Sail Croatia Company?

This depends on your age, but here is a quick breakdown:

Best Sail Croatia company for young people (18-22+): Topdeck/Contiki

Best Sail Croatia company for Young Professionals (22-40ish): Fjaka Sail/Koda Sail

Best Sail Croatia company for All Ages/Families: G Adventures/Intrepid Travel

Best Sail Croatia company for an Older Crowd : Kompas/Peregrine Adventures

Keep reading for a description of each company and links.

Croatia Sailing Tours for Young People and Young Professionals – Tours for Youth + Mature

So if you didn’t already know, sail Croatia is a great party destination . Many people come to Croatia to enjoy the scenery a little bit and sip on cocktails, take fancy shots, dance on bars, and party quite a lot .

This isn’t to say that you can’t come on a Croatia sailing holiday and have a mellow, chilled week relaxing in the sun, but just be warned that there will be quite a lot of debauchery going on around you. It is actually part of tour guides’ jobs on these boats to take you to at least one (or 4) bars every night. It’s up to you whether or not you wish to take part.

What Do I Need to Know Before Booking Party Croatia Sailing Tours for Young People?

Bell rings:.

On each boat, if you ring ‘the bell’ (every boat has one), you buy a round of shots for the entire boat. Yes, everyone on it. Bell rings are like a Croatian right of passage; they’re a ceremonial symbol of Adriatic party. As soon you ring the bell, the bartender will compile a tray of shots with the amount of people on the boat, and put it on your tab which you pay at the end of the week. Dangerous.

Nights Out:

There’s always a good mix of bigger and smaller nights out. Save up for nights out in Hvar, Dubrovnik, Makarska, and Korcula. At the rest of the ports, you can go crazy at one or two small bars or chill out and stargaze on the boat. Tour guides should always give you a nice alternative to a party night.

Nationalities:

On the bigger boat Croatia sailing tours (Topdeck, Busabout, Contiki, Sail Croatia), you will find that there are a lot of Australians (and Kiwis) around. You will find Americans, Scandinavians, and more Europeans on floatilla tours like The Yacht Week and Medsailors. I have no idea why this is, but that’s how it turned out.

Some companies tend to end up as bigger parties than others, and I will go through each one and their general stereotype/clientele below.

Fjaka Sail Croatia Sailing tours

MY OWN CROATIA SAILING TOUR COMPANY: FJAKA SAIL

I’ve been waiting to announce this news: myself, another tour guide who has been working Croatia sailing tours for 10 years, and my partner started our very own Croatia sailing company called Fjaka Sail. We ran our first 3 amazingly successful tours in 2023 and have 4 weeks available in 2024.

After working for big companies for so long, we have always known that we could do better running the show ourselves and not answering to a main office in another city or a sales team who have never even been to Croatia. Fjaka Sail is a small company run by passionate travelers who KNOW Croatia and can’t wait to tailor the experience to each and every person.

Clientele/Age Range : Fjaka Sail is targeted at young professionals and young at heart. This means travelers who are a bit older but still know how to have a good time – you can be a more mature 23 or a young and fun 45. As far as Nationalities, we get a big mix and our doors are open to everyone. We are after more of a mindset than an age or nationality, but we have had Americans, Aussies, Kiwis, Brits, South Africans, and more.

Our Fjaka Sailing Guide: Andre knows the language, the land, and EVERYONE there is to know in our destinations – the families with amazing restaurants, the coolest bars, and hidden gems. There’s a reason he has the most returning passengers out of any guide I know.

Fjaka Sail Boats : We have what I fully believe to be the best boat for our age group: The President. The president is an A+++ white boat with a rooftop jacuzzi, spacious rooms, A/C, hot breakfast, two chefs, four floors, amazing crew, and more. Trust me, you won’t want to be on board ANY other boat this summer.

Party Level : We will always have options for whatever each person wants to do, whether that be a huge night out or go stargazing. We know that a young professional crowd is a bit more mature, so we visit chic cocktail bars on the Riva and hidden gems, as well as some usual local party bars and, of course, a club or two – because we believe in balance.

Fjaka Sail routes : We have tailored our routes to include EVERYTHING cool and remove anything annoying about routes we worked in the past for big companies. You won’t miss out on anything important on a Fjaka Sailing tour, and we have some extra special things organized that NO other tours do.

Fjaka Sail Price: We are keeping our prices much lower as the industry prices continue to soar. We pride ourselves on privicing affordable luxury for young professionals! Our tours start at €1950 for a bed which gets even cheaper when we run discounts. Follow us on Instagram to keep up to date!

Use my code KIMMIE10 for a 10% discount on our sailing weeks for this summer, or subscribe below to see if we have any bigger discounts running at the moment.

Croatia Sailing Companies: Koda Sail

Koda Sail is a more intimate and detail-oriented company geared toward the more mature partier and the young professional (and they also run tours in the Maldives, Turkey, Greece, and more now). Koda Sail only runs premiere A+ style luxurious boats, but is still quite affordable for young people. Koda Sail stands for the fact that sometimes young people need a bit of luxury, too, but can also have a bit of fun.

Clientele: Koda Sail was founded by an Aussie guy named Chris, who is a total legend! A lot of the clientele would be similarly Aussie/Kiwi but varied.

Boats: Koda Sail only has A+ style, ensuite, air-conditioned boats. See A+ category boat descriptions above.

Guides: Koda Sail has an experienced guide who is a bit older but still knows how to have a good time. Chris, the owner, runs some of the tours himself I believe.

Party Level: The option to party is always there on Koda Sail (as with any Croatia sailing tour). Koda Sail has a better balance of big and small nights with some great options for nights out and recovery days in between.

Age Range: Koda sail passengers are generally mid-twenties to late-ish thirties, but if you are of the young professional category/mindset you will be just fine.

Routes: During the summer, Koda Sail has three different routes, the S-S, S-D, and D-S. There’s only one tour per week so the route depends on the date. All routes include great places.

Koda Sail Tours

Recommended Tour: All the routes are great but I recommend the Split to Split Luxury A+ Koda Sail Cruise :

Croatia Sailing Companies: Travel Talk

Travel Talk is a tour company with bus tours throughout Europe, and Croatia sailing tours are just a small part of their product. They have two boats that switch between Split to Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik to Split routes, and are historically one of the cheapest  Croatia sailing tours – even with ensuite facilities. 

Clientele: Travel Talks clientele is also largely Aussie, with a bit of variety thrown in here and there, and do love a good party.

Boats: Travel Talk have two smaller wooden boats (about 20 capacity) with ensuite facilities (A class). One of them, Lav, is an actual pirate ship and is awesome to see sailing! But be warned, they’re by far not the nicest A class boats, but they are fine (especially for the price!).

Guides: The guides on Travel Talk are usually super fun Aussies who are outgoing and helpful but know how to have a good time. I’ve loved the travel talk guides every year.

Party Level: These will be a high party level tour, with options to go out each night (or drink in the day! :P)

Age Range: Travel Talk caps its age at 50-something. Most people are in the young category but some boats have a larger range.

Tours: Just choose your direction:

Croatia sailing companies: contiki.

Contiki is a global tour company that focuses on bus tours all over the world. They have a couple of Croatia sailing tours on different types of boats. Contiki is rather well-known for being a party tour company; I think they are trying to rid themselves of that stereotype but Contiki passengers usually do love a party.

Clientele : Contiki passengers are usually Aussie. However, as their brand grows, their clientele is also. Expect Kiwis, South Africans, Americans, Canadians, and every so often a few people of Asian descent – rarely European.

Boats: Contiki has a few types of boats. They have some premium A+ boat tours and also a few A category ones which differ in price quite a lot. Two dinners are also included on these tours, which is great and differentiates them from most other tours.

Guides: There are a few Contiki Croatia sail guides who stay in Croatia all summer, but a lot of the guides are normally European bus tour guides who come down and guide sails for a few weeks a summer.

Party Level: There will generally be a lot of partying on Contiki Tours.

Age Range: Contiki tours are 18-35 ages – younger than most.

Routes: The Contiki round trip routes spend two nights in Dubrovnik , giving you more time to see the bigger cities but less time in the smaller ones. They only operate Split-Split routes like this. I’m not a fan.

They have some luxe and some cheaper boats available. I have linked their luxe option and their cheaper option below. But I will say they are pricey for what they are and Fjaka Sail’s deals are far better for what you get 🙂

Croatia Sailing Companies: Topdeck

Ah, Topdeck. I worked here for three summers. I’m going to keep my opinions of the company to myself and try not to be biased in my review, but I do know this company the best.

Topdeck is a global, corporate tour company that does tours in six continents. Croatia sailing tours used to be a pretty big part of their European product, but now they only have a few boats running each summer.

Clientele: Topdeck is another one of those companies that gets around well with Aussie word of mouth. Most passengers are Aussie and Kiwi, with a few Canadians and maybe a South African or American once in a while – becoming more diverse over time.

Boats: Topdeck has A and A+ boats. They change each summer but I recommend the A+ ones if possible. I recommend Dalvin and Toma over Moja Maja.

Guides: Topdeck Croatia sail guides are usually absolute legends. Pretty much all Topdeck guides during my time were knowledgable, passionate, kind, and loved a good party.

Party Level: There is a lot of partying on Topdeck sails, which of course depends a lot on the group. There’s also a lot of culture included as well, as guides are required to show you around or do an activity in each town but also take you out each night.

Age Range : Topdeck is 18-39’s.

Routes : All the routes are quite good these days. One-way routes are usually easier on the travel schedule, but their Split-Split and Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik routes are great too. Choose the boat that looks best and go with it!

Topdeck Croatia Sailing Tours

For 2024, I’m not sure what will be available, but again I recommend the boats Dalvin, Meridijan, and Toma if they’re there.

Sunset from Pomena, Mljet Island Croatia

Go Croatia Sail

This company has grown exponentially in the last few years and has almost even overtaken some of the larger companies above in terms of volume. They have flotilla-style boats as well as larger boats these days. They are one of the more affordable Croatia sailing tours on the market for younger people 20-35 (but more like 20-24).

This is the only company I know of that does 4-day and 5-day Croatia sailing tours. If you are low on time, check out some of their tours from Split to Dubrovnik in 4-5 days.

Croatia Sailing Companies: Sail Croatia (Party Tours AND Other Tours)

Sail Croatia is actually a massive company that runs sailing tours for many different clienteles, both old and young. They are known in the young person sector as the main party tour in Croatia.

Check their website for all they offer, but the majority of their product are tours for young people. They also do have some of the nicest and biggest boats for older crowds up to 80+, however.

Clientele: Sail Croatia’s clientele on their ‘Navigator’ tours are mostly young Aussies looking for a good party. They are known for this. But other then ‘ Navigator ” tours, they also have ‘Explorer,’ ‘Elegance,’ ‘Cycle,’ and ‘Hike’ tours for all types of people.

Boats : Sail Croatia has all classes of boats, but the party cruises will usually be on B or A-class boats, with the possibility to book an A+ for young professionals (explorer tours) or older guests (elegance tours).

Guides: Sail Croatia is one of the only companies that employ Croatian tour guides for their trips. I think they have a couple Aussie guides, but they’re mostly Croatian. I find that this is actually not favorable because the cultural barrier is quite large, and having an English speaking tour guide to form the liaison between the Croatian crew and Aussie/English speaking passengers is better… especially one who goes out with the groups and understands the culture.

Party Level: These will be lots of (often messy) partying stereotypically on Navigator tours, but oftentimes it’s just good fun. On Explorer, Elegance, and other tours it will be less.

Age Range: Navigator Party cruises are for under 35’s. Explorer Cruises are nicer boats for younger professionals 25-50. Elegance are for 35+, and Cycle and Hiking Tours are for all ages.

Sail Croatia Tours

If you are young, you will want to book a Navigator Tour (cheaper, lesser quality boats, fun party) or an Explorer Tour (more expensive, nicer boat, more relaxing/sightseeing)

Croatia Sailing Companies: Stoke Travel

Stoke Travel started running Croatia sailing tours in the last few years. Stoke is most well-known for being the party tour company of Europe (even more so than the rest – it’s part of their branding), and I am sure this will correlate to their Croatia tours too. One of their selling points is also selling unlimited beer and sangria for a small price.

Clientele/Guides: Clientele are mostly Aussie, as are guides, and it is sure to be a loose and fun time with like-minded young people.

Boats: I think Stoke’s boats are either B or A… probably B. Given that they have lots of ‘roughing it’ camping party tours I think they will be the same in Croatia. Fun and very shared.

Party Level: With unlimited beer + sangria onboard, you bet it’s HIGH.

Age Range: Stoke is for all ages who like to party. But people are mostly younger.

Price: If you get in early, S toke has some of the cheapest Croatia Sailing tours on the market. Check their deals below!

Floatilla-Style Croatia Sailing Tours

There is an increasing number of floatilla-style tours in Croatia each summer – the ones that sail with lots of smaller boats together. They are very different yet just as fun as doing Sail Croatia on bigger boats!

Floatillas do not travel as far (they either stay around Split or Dubrovnik or go one-way) and may have day and night stops. See the beginning of this article for more logistical information on how floatillas work. Here are a few main floatilla companies you can consider.

The Yacht Week

The Yacht Week is the Croatia sailing company that most Americans know about. The Yacht Week is glamorous and is known for its music, dj’s, and ‘exclusive parties.’ The Yacht Week definitely has a different vibe than a lot of tours, but a lot of the destinations and parties are still the same. They also have lots of tours centered around Ultra Europe music festival and Ultra Week in Croatia.

Yacht Week Clientele: The Yacht Week gets most American, Scandinavian/European, and South American clientele. The 8-10 person boats will be full of groups of friends from different places.

Party Level / Age Range: The Yacht Week is a massive party, but tends to be a more expensive one. Yacht week passengers always seem to buy tables at the fancy clubs and spend more money on what seems like a businessperson’s week off to have fun.

Med Sailors

Med Sailors is another of the biggest floatilla companies that sail Croatia – boats are about 8-10 people. They run great tours with great skippers who will also love to take guests out to the bars at night (always wearing their yellow and blue Med Sailors shirts – you can’t miss them!) I recommend doing one of their Split-Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik-Split tours so you can see more. 

Clientele/Party Level/ Age Range: Med Sailors also has a varied clientele of more English/Irish/Americans than many companies. The option to party is also always available, and people are usually young (18-35) but more mature.

MedSailors is a VERY popular option for those who want a smaller boat sailing in a flotilla that is still built for young people. It’s also generally more affordable than the Yacht Week. Medsailors tend to visit more offbeat destinations but still gets the good parties in.

Sail Croatia Tours for All Ages, the Older Passenger, or Families

Phew! Now that we have gotten through the Croatia sailing tours for young people, it may seem it is not possible to visit this country without a party, but that is far from true! There are loads of Croatia sailing tours that cater to different audiences- older people, families, bicyclers, even tennis players and vegans! I’m telling you – there’s something for everyone.

Remember to read above for descriptions of boats and facilities!

Croatia Sailing Companies: G Adventures

G Adventures is an extremely reputable tour company that runs tours all over the whole world. It’s no surprise that their Croatia product will be amazing as well. Their tours are for smaller groups (max 8 on smaller yachts) and run from April all the way until October.

Demographics: G Adventures tours are for 12-70-year-olds. Younger people may book out the boats for a private tour, but they’re also great for families or friends of any age. Their tours are one-way from Spit to Dubrovnik or vice versaa.

Sail Croatia Companies: Intrepid Travel + Peregrine Dalmatia Unique Tours

Intrepid is yet another world-renowned travel company (operating in all 7 continents, I believe!) who also run both small group tours and larger boat tours in Croatia. They run larger boat tours with Peregrine Adventures, another popular all-ages travel company.

The small-boat groups will be about 8-10 people as a single tour, and will stop at all sorts of islands on the way across the Adriatic. The larger boat tours will be similar in nature to all others I have described with groups of 30+.

Routes: Intrepid has come out with some incredible sailing tours in recent years. They have all the classic routes between Split and Dubrovnik (on both large and small boats) but have now have some of the the most unique routes of all these Croatia sailing tours – some tours sailing north of Split and even to Venice !

Demographics: Intrepid is listed as 15 to 99 year olds, so would be perfect for older families or groups of friends of any age who like to be a bit more low-key.

Smaller Boat Tours (Max 8 pax)

Split to Dubrovnik Sailing Tour with Intrepid Travel  OR Dubrovnik to Split Sailing Tour with Intrepid Travel

Larger Boat Tours (Max 31 pax) Run by Peregrine Dalmatia

For 1 standard week, I recommend their Dubrovnik to Split route, but Peregrine offers more unique locations than other Croatia sailing trips. To sail NORTH from Split to Zadar , Kornati, and a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park, check out their Central Coast Tour from Split.

They also have a VERY unique 15-day Dubrovnik to Venice tour (with partial bus transfer) with stops in Mostar and Northern Croatia destinations such as Krk, Opatija, and Rab (which no other sails visit).

dubrovnik from above croatia

Croatia Sailing Companies: Kompas

Kompas is one of the Adriatic’s premiere luxury travel companies. Perfect for families or people of any age, Kompas Tours has a minimum of 5-8 years of age and a maximum of 80. These tours will be on the nicest A+ category ships, and your every need will be catered to!

Kompas has more unique routes, and has tours going as far north as Zadar. Many tours will have daytime and nighttime stops to cover more ground in the same amount of time – 8 days. These tours move FAST and see A LOT.

Many boats will have small pools/jacuzzis onboard and premium space to relax on lounge chairs or eat meals in style. These are the ridiculously nice boats that other people just gape at. You can see all information about the boat before you book a tour!

Here are my most recommended Kompas Croatia sailing tours, the Split to Split North Route with Krka and Kornati National Parks, and the regular Split to Dubrovnik Sail:

Croatia Sailing Companies: My Croatia Cruise

My Croatia Cruise offers Croatia Cruise tours you can book a spot on, OR charter of your own small cruise ship. Whether you’d like to jump on a tour with other passengers with a set route from Dubrovnik, Split, or Opatija, or charter your own boat and crew, this company is a great option.

Unique Croatia Sailing Tours: Different Themes

Here are some Croatia sailing trips with a certain focus, like hiking, tennis, or vegan food.

Croatia Bike Tours: Art of Bicycle Trips

Art of Bicycle Trips Croatia sailing bike tour

Art of Bicycle Trips is a leading bike tour operator running bike tours (and also hiking, kayaking, and more) in over a dozen destinations across three continents. All their bike tours have a special focus on local and cultural experiences and involve zooming around the country on two wheels between destinations, seeing each from a unique perspective.

They are a highly rated company that has been featured in multiple publications, but their Croatia bike tours are especially epic.

In Croatia, their Island Hopping bike tour from Split to Dubrovnik allows guests get to bike across three islands — Brač, Hvar, and Korčula — in addition to Split and Dubrovnik. At the beginning of each day, you sail with your bikes on the boat to the next island, then spend the rest of the day exploring the island on a bike. Imagine exploring olive groves in Brač, fields of lavender in Hvar, and visiting Marco Polo’s home in Korčula. An expert local guide and a support vehicle accompany guests at all times. 

Croatia Sailing Companies: Go Croatia Sail Tennis Cruise

Yep, that’s right: a tennis cruise. This Split to Split cruise is focused specifically on playing tennis in different places in Croatia! It’s only one specific week in June, so if you are a tennis person get in it now (I actually can’t get over the cover picture on this tour with everyone and their tennis rackets!) 😛

Book your Tennis Croatia Sailing Tour

Did you think I was kidding when I said there was a Vegan Cruise?

You thought wrong! This raw vegan cruise takes place during the first week of August in Croatia on a very nice boat, and has yoga classes and lectures on veganism. What will be next?!

Think A Croatia Sailing Tour isn’t for You? Charter Your Own Boat!

If you’re still a bit iffy after reading about all these different kinds of Croatia sailing tours, I have the perfect solution for you: charter your own yacht! If you’ve got the budget and want the privacy, this is definitely the most luxurious option of all.

Head over to Sailo to charter a boat for you and your friends/family/group that meets your needs.

PHEW! That was a lot of Croatia Sailing Tours. Overwhelmed? I would be too. Feel free to send me an email at [email protected] if you need help sifting through all this information to find out which sail Croatia tour is right for you. Or, book a trip on Fjaka Sail and I’ll be there in person to help you.

Just use deductive reasoning: figure out if you want a young person tour or not, a floatilla or not, a smaller 8-person boat or a larger 30+ person boat with a chef/aircon, if you want something super luxurious or something cheaper, and finally if you want a specialty cruise (hiking, biking, tennis) or something… normal.

This should narrow things down, but. if you want my recommendation, go with a bigger and more luxurious boat with a one-way route! Enjoy your week sailing in Croatia!

Hi, i am struggling to find any information about Fanatics sail Croatia tour, i am hesitant to book as i don't want to be ripped off! Would you know where i could find up to date information? Thank you!! :)

Hey Alex!! The last time I was in contact with fantatics tours was a few years ago but they were going as strong as ever! I knew some of their guides in '15-'17 and some of my friends had a great time on their tour. If you are worried however try some of the other companies I recommended in this post - like Travel Talk (if you are worried about the price point) or Busabout/Topdeck (if you want the option of bigger boats). Hope this helped!

Tripadvisor review

It was an AMAZING experience, the gulet “Kamala” wag great. The trip showed us beautiful sea and wonderful places. The staff was very professional and very kind, food was delicious. We hope to come back next year!

This was a fantastic experience the places visited were all stunning in there own way. The Crew were fantastic. The food on board delicious. I recommend a visit to Kas and the sunken city. Thank you to all the Crew.

They are very attentive and responsive. Eventhough we’re ended up have to take the trip from Demre to Fethiye, but they give as free bus ticket for the make up! The boat trip itself also very nice, the food is great, the view is amazingly beautiful. Due to bad weather, the first 2 days we’re circling around Demre. But they give us few little compensation trip which is very nice.

News | ‘Most beautiful’ Italian tall ship open for tours next week in Port of LA

sail week tour

The Amerigo Vespucci, a vessel in the Italian Navy, is stopping by San Pedro as part of its 15-country world tour as an ambassador of all things Italian.

The stunning ship, with 26 traditional canvas sails, was built in 1930 and launched in 1931. It has been continually active since then, except during World War II, mostly as an Italian Navy training vessel. The ship will be in San Pedro from Wednesday, July 3, to July 8.

Vespucci was twice the receipient of other ships’ adoration: once in 1962 in the Mediterranean Sea, when American aircraft carrier USS Independence signaled, “Who are you?” After getting a response, the Independence replied: “You are the most beautiful ship in the world.” More recently, in 2022, when Vespucci sailed near the American aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, she was saluted again: “You are still, after 60 years, the most beautiful ship in the world.”

In addition to free tours of the nearly 100-year-old ship, there will be music, food, film, photo exhibits and more, all aimed at celebrating “La vita e bella,” Italian for “Life is beautiful.”

The exhibits detailing the history of the ship and Italian culture will be housed port-side in a 130,000 square-foot space called “Villaggio Italia.”

Festivities begin at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Villaggio Italia, where Italy’s minister of defense, Guido Crosetto, will deliver opening remarks. Also planning to attend are California State Treasurer Fion Ma, LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn and LA Deputy Mayor Erin Bromaghim.

Tours of the ship begin at 4 p.m. Wednesday and though free, you must first make a reservation online .

Here are some of the events planned during the Vespucci’s stay:

  • Italian Air Force’s National Aerobatic Team, Frecce Tricolori, will perform an air show above the ship, at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 4, 7:15 p.m. July 6 and 7 p.m. July 8.
  • La Scala Academy musicians will perform at 7 p.m. July 5.
  • New bronze interpretation of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, “La David,” by artist Jago. Meet the artist at 5 p.m. July 6.
  • Cooking demonstrations at Eataly’s “Ristorante Italila,” everyday from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
  • Multiple exhibits celebrating Italy’s design, wine heritage, business acumen, infrastructure, sports and film screenings.

What: Amerigo Vespucci and Villaggio Italia

When: July 3 to 8

Where: Port of Los Angeles Outer Harbor, Berths 46-50, 3011 Miner Street, San Pedro

Vice President Kamala Harris is returning to Nevada.

A Biden-Harris campaign event will take place in Las Vegas on Tuesday, July 9.

This is the vice president’s sixth trip to battleground Nevada this year and her 14th since taking office.

Details on the time and location of the campaign event were not clear, but the announcement comes after a Biden v Trump debate that many pundits labeled a poor showing for Biden.

Meanwhile, House Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas has publicly called on Biden to “withdraw” from the 2024 campaign. Doggett is the first elected Democrat to make such a push.

Vice President Kamala Harris will attend a campaign event in Nevada on July 9th.

“Having devoted his life to public service, President Biden has achieved much for our country at home and abroad,” Doggett said in a statement published on The Center Square.

“Stepping up to lead a nation in crisis, President Biden helped rebuild our country from the devastation of a pandemic, an insurrection, and years of Trump wreckage. Yet, for more than a year, many Americans have indicated dissatisfaction with their choices in this election.”

If Biden were to bow out, Harris would be one of the options for Democrats to try to keep Trump from re-entering office.

House Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas has publicly called on Biden to "withdraw" from the 2024 campaign.

Other names floated out there include California Gov. Gavin Newsom , Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer, but a new CNN poll finds 45% of registered voters would support Harris if she were in a matchup with Trump.

That is better than Biden, who trailed Trump by 6 points in the poll. Meanwhile, House Democrat James Clyburn of South Carolina told MSNBC Tuesday that he would support Harris if Biden exits the campaign. Clyburn endorsed Biden in 2020, a move that helped Biden win The Palmetto State that year.

Previous visits from Harris to Nevada include January meetings with union members in Las Vegas, a speech at Mojave High School in March, and a post-presidential debate rally in Las Vegas on June 28th.

Change Text Size

1. Frederik Kjettrup, Denmark

Fortinet Cup Points: 1,000 Last week’s rank: 9th Best finish this season: Won The Bechlands Victoria Open presented by Times Colonist and the ATB Classic

Only two tournaments into his PGA TOUR Americas career, Kjettrup has reached the top of the Fortinet Cup standings. His perfect North America Swing record is a result of back-to-back wins at The Bechlands Victoria Open and the ATB Classic. He is 37-under par through his first eight rounds on Tour, recording 48 birdies and only 11 bogeys. The Florida State University alum is the only player currently in a position to claim the tough-to-get three-win immediate promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour.

2. Matt Anderson, Canada

Fortinet Cup Points: 867 Last week’s rank: 1st Best finish this season: Won the ECP Brazil Open

In the Fortinet Cup lead since his victory at the ECP Brazil Open, Team Canada member Anderson saw Kjettrup move past him on Sunday. While Kjettrup won twice, the 24-year-old who dominated the Latin America Swing has struggled with consecutive missed cuts in Victoria and Edmonton. The week off will be a great opportunity for him to regroup heading into next week’s Explore NB Open.

3. Clay Feagler, United States

Fortinet Cup Points: 751 Last week’s rank: 2nd Best finish this season: Won the Bupa Championship at Tulum

Coming off a solo third in Victoria, he got off to a hot start at the ATB Classic, firing a bogey-free 7-under to share the opening-round lead. A rough third round of 8-over got him out of contention and the tie for 52nd only earned him 7.2 Fortinet Cup points.

4. Harry Hillier, New Zealand

Fortinet Cup Points: 741 Last week’s rank: 3rd Best finish this season: Won the Inter Rapidísimo Golf Championship

The PGA TOUR Americas leader in total birdies this season only managed to make six birdies through two rounds at Northern Bear Golf Club. At 2-over for the week, he saw a streak of four consecutive made cuts come to an end.

5. José de Jesús Rodríguez, Mexico

Fortinet Cup Points: 661 Last week’s rank: 4th Best finish this season: Won the Totalplay Championship at Tulum

The leading Latin American player on Tour missed his first cut of the season at the ATB Classic. He followed an opening 2-under with a second round of 1-over to miss the weekend by only one shot.

6. Stuart Macdonald, Canada

Fortinet Cup Points: 634 Last week’s rank: 5th Best finish this season: Won the Diners Club Perú Open

Making his first start of the North America Swing, he had a tough Sunday at Northern Bear to slip down to a tie for 64th at the ATB Classic.

7. Thomas Longbella, United States

Fortinet Cup Points: 628 Last week’s rank: 6th Best finish this season: Won the Kia Open

Entering the final round of the ATB Classic in a tie for 22nd, he struggled on Sunday to drop into a tie for 47th.

8. Samuel Anderson, United States

Fortinet Cup Points: 589 Last week’s rank: 7th Best finish this season: Solo second at the Diners Club Perú Open

Coming off his third top-10 of the season, a solo fourth finish in Victoria, he couldn’t get anything going at Northern Bear. With back-to-back rounds of 1-over, he missed the cut by four shots.

9. Conner Godsey, U.S.

Fortinet Cup Points: 554 Last week’s rank: 8th Best finish this season: Tied for second at the ECP Brazil Open

In a tie for 13th after a second round of 6-under, he had a bit of a slow weekend, shooting 1-under for the final 36 holes. The tie for 15th earned him 53 Fortinet Cup points, his third most behind a tie for second in Brazil and a tie for third in Peru.

10. Mateo Fernández de Oliveira, Argentina

Fortinet Cup Points: 487 Last week’s rank: 12th Best finish this season: Solo second at The Beachlands Victoria Open

Coming off a runner-up finish in Victoria, he had to put on a battle just to make the weekend at the ATB Classic. At 3-over for the tournament, he birdied five of his last 10 holes in the second round to make it right on the number. A strong moving day of 6-under was huge for him to finish a tie for eighth and record his third top-10 in his last four starts. He leapfrogged his countrymen Julián Etulain and Jesús Montenegro to break inside the Fortinet Cup top 10 for the first time this season.

Most significant moves outside the top 10:

15. John Keefer, United States

Fortinet Cup Points: 350 Last week’s rank: T58th Best finish this season: Tied for second at the ATB Classic

The last man to make the 2024 PGA TOUR University top 25 is playing outstanding golf to start his pro career on PGA TOUR Americas. He followed a tie for fifth at the Victoria Open with a share of runner-up honors at the ATB Classic. His score of 30-under tied Fernández de Oliveira for the second-best aggregate through these past two events.

19. Tommy Cocha, Argentina

Fortinet Cup Points: 314 Last week’s rank: 85th Best finish this season: Tied for second at the ATB Classic

In his second week competing out of the Monday Qualifier and with fiancée Jennifer Kirby as his caddie, the 33-year-old from Salta, Argentina, stayed inside the top three the entire ATB Classic. After a rough stretch of bogey on 12 and double-bogey on 13 got him out of the race for the title Sunday, he kept his composure for a birdie-birdie finish that secured a two-way tie for second. The 245 Fortinet Cup points earned allowed him to move from 85th to 19th in the season-long race to move up to the Korn Ferry Tour.

33. David Perkins, United States

Fortinet Cup Points: 198 Last week’s rank: T78 Best finish this season: Tied for fourth at the ATB Classic

The runner-up at the Dothan, Alabama Q-School in late May, Perkins has started his PGA TOUR Americas career with back-to-back top-10 finishes. He shot 15-under to tie for 9th in Victoria and then tied for 4th at the ATB Classic, where he shot 12-under. He joins Frederik Kjettrup, Mateo Fernández de Oliveira, and John Keefer in a group of four players who opened the North America Swing with two top-10s.

34. Brendan MacDougall, Canada

Fortinet Cup Points: 175 Last week’s rank: 101st Best finish this season: Tied for fourth at the ATB Classic

The low Team Canada player at the ATB Classic, MacDougall took huge advantage of a sponsor exemption to tie for fourth at 12-under. Earning 122.5 Fortinet Cup points for his efforts at Northern Bear, he gained 67 spots in the standings, moving up from 101st to 34th. His best finish in his previous seven starts was a tie for 32nd at the Kia Open.

PGA TOUR Americas is off this week before resuming the race for the Fortinet Cup next week at the Explore NB Open, to be hosted at Mactaquac Golf Course in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada (July 11-14).

What is the difference between Party and Ultra Sail Week?

What is the difference between Party and Ultra Sail Week?

You decided to do Eurotrip this summer and doing SailWeek is definitely on the list. You are just not sure what Week to pick? Party, Adventure, Ultra Week 1, Ultra Week 2…

What is the difference? What’s the gender ratio? What’s the average age? What is included? How much is the extra cost?

So many question to ask while trying to figure out what route would be the best for you. The difference between Adventure and Party is clearly shown in one of our  previous blogs .

NUMBER OF BOATS PER WEEK

Our story started with the Party Sail Week and up to today It has been the most popular route.

In the high season the number of boats goes up to 30 per week. In early June, late August and September it’s more likely the number of boats is going to be around 10-15. On busier weeks we have circle raft parties and on less busier weeks line raft parties.

Ultra Sail Weeks are closely related to the Ultra Europe music festival and in those two weeks we always have around 50 boats per fleet.

One of the most recognizable things about Ultra Sail Week is our famous circle raft party with more than 50 yachts and a DJ.

  • PARTY: Party starts June 2nd and finishes September 8th. That means You’ve got 14 weeks to choose from.
  • ULTRA: Ultra is on for just two weeks, from June 30th to July 14th.

AVERAGE AGE

We would say it’s the same on both routes. Mostly people from 18 to mid 30s, group of friends, couples, single travellers from all around the world.

Average age on Sailweek cruises is from 18 to 35

GENDER RATIO

Through the last couple of seasons the gender ratio was always somewhere around 50% – 50%. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have weeks with more guys than girls or other way around.

International mixed gender crews on Sail Week Croatia

GROUP OF FRIENDS

If you are travelling with friends and booked a full yacht, You already know the most of your crew. If you booked spots we’ll place you on a mixed gender yacht with people similar age.

If you are a couple, it’s more likely We’ll put you on the boat with other couples or group of friends.

SINGLE TRAVELLERS

If you are a single traveller, you’ll probably share a bunk bed cabin with other single travellers of same gender. You’ll be put on the mixed gender boat.

Of course it’s difficult to make the perfect crew lists regarding age, gender and preferences but we always do our best. If you have any special requirements please contact us at [email protected] or put your preferences in the note while fulfilling the crew list details

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Everything and by that we really mean everything.

  • spot on the boat
  • groceries for breakfast and light lunch
  • unlimited Wi-Fi on the boat
  • bottled water
  • end cleaning

Also you can bring your own alcohol and food on the boat with no extra charge.

The only difference between Party and Ultra boats is that the Party boats are equipped with Stand up Paddleboard and snorkeling gear.

4th of July fireworks on the golf course? Count on it at the PGA Tour's John Deere Classic

sail week tour

It’s fireworks time at the TPC Deere Run. 

The PGA Tour has Fourth of July week all to itself with the John Deere Classic beginning on Thursday. But just because it owns the golf calendar doesn’t mean a field full of fireworks: Defending champion Sepp Straka is the highest-ranked player in the field at 24th in the world, followed by Sungjae Im at 29th and Jordan Speith at 32nd. 

The winner on Sunday should plan on being deep in red numbers. Eleven of the last 14 winners of the tournament have posted 72-hole scores of 20-under or lower, led by Michael Kim’s 27-under in 2018, which won by eight shots. Straka shot 21-under. 

Spieth and Johnson have won the tournament twice each and other winners in recent years have been other major champions Bryson DeChambeau, Brian Harman and Lucas Glover. 

The rest of the major golf tours will return to action next week, including major championships on the LPGA and PGA Tour Champions.

Travis Scott's New Nike Sneaker Surfaces in 'Sail'

The rapper's new silhouette is reportedly launching this summer.

In addition to the upcoming sneaker projects Travis Scott has in the works with Jordan Brand, the Houston rapper is also expected to release a new sneaker with Nike we've come to know as the Shark-A-Don , shown here.

Travis has quietly been teasing the unreleased model since he posted photos wearing it on Instagram back in August 2023, but signs are pointing to the Shark-A-Don hitting retailers soon in this sail-based colorway as images of the style have now landed on the backend of Nike's website.

Much like Travis' Jordan Jumpman Jack shoe that was renamed the CJ1 T-Rexx, there's speculation that the Shark-A-Don will receive a name change to the Zoom Field Jaxx, according to sneaker leaker account @Brandon1an on X.

Currently, release details for Travis Scott's Nike Shark-A-Don shoe have yet to be announced by either of the parties involved but the silhouette is rumored to launch sometime this summer. Scroll on for a closer look at the sneaker below.

This Week's PGA Tour Event Has a Player Who Isn't Old Enough to Go in the Locker Room

Bob harig | jun 26, 2024.

Miles Russell is playing this week on the PGA Tour at age 15.

Miles Russell is skipping a big amateur event at Pinehurst this week in order to play in Detroit. Of course, it’s for good reason. The 15-year-old golfer will compete in his first PGA Tour event.

Rocket Mortgage offered Russell a spot in this week’s field at Detroit Golf Club, where the Rocket Mortgage Classic begins Thursday. He made the cut earlier this year at a Korn Ferry Tour event in Sarasota, earning a spot in the following week’s event because he finished among the top 25.

Now he’s going to see how he fares at the top level of the PGA Tour.

“I was pretty excited,” Russell said Wednesday during a pre-tournament news conference. “I was speechless pretty much at the time. It's always been a dream to play at the highest level and compete with the best players in the world and I get to do that this week, so really looking forward to it.”

Russell, a lefthanded golfer from Jacksonville Beach, Fla., said he’d be at the North-South Amateur in Pinehurst this week were it not for the PGA Tour invite.

Another player in the field, Willie Mack, joked that Russell isn’t even allowed in the locker room at Detroit Golf Club because a rule stipulates you must be 16 to enter.

“Hopefully he doesn’t beat me, but does well,” said another golfer in the field, Min Woo Lee.

The top-ranked junior in the American Junior Golf Association, Russell broke Tiger Woods’s record as the youngest player to win AJGA player of the year. He was also the youngest to win the Junior PGA Championship. He played in the Junior Ryder Cup and was named to the first USGA Junior National team. He’s also been invited to the PGA Tour's Bermuda Championship this fall.

Michelle Wie is the youngest to compete in a PGA Tour event, having teed it up at the 2004 Sony Open at 14.

Russell thanked his “team”—which is a bit jarring for a kid who can’t yet drive—and then noted that includes his agent (Allen Hobbs), his coach (Ramon Bascansa), his caddie and his family “and then just a couple good buddies that I play with at home, they always keep it real.”

Russell is scheduled to tee off on Thursday at 2:11 p.m. ET along with Pierceson Coody and Rico Hoey.
