Sail Croatia was without a doubt one of the most fun weeks of my life. Tanning all day on top of a boat, partying all night, and of course eating non stop, this was my idea of absolute paradise. As soon as we got on our boat it was literally filled with girls so I wasn't happy, we all know boys are more fun. And plus, none of them looked like fun girls and I immediately decided I hated everyone- turned out to be the complete opposite, but that was my initial thought. We lived in a TINY cabin on the boat which literally had room for bunk beds, our bags, and sometimes us if we sucked in. We also had a little ensuite which again was minuscule, a toilet & a sink was all it possessed plus a shower head which attacked to the tap in the sink. There obviously was no room for an actual shower so the entire bathroom got drenched every time, most of the time I sat on the toilet seat while showering to avoid sliding over and hurting myself. The food on the boat more than made up for the tiny cabins, it was amazing! Breakfast was toast, cereal, eggs, yoghurt and fruit- with gluten free options for everything, followed by a 3 course lunch starting with soup, a main (roast, fish and chips, risotto, spag Bol, chicken salad to name a few) and then finished off with fruit for dessert! Any progress I had made with shrinking my stomach and controlling my addiction to food was quickly evaporated and I shoved my face every mealtime and them sheepishly rushed my full belly onto the towel to tan my back- disguising my greediness...
Of course the scenery was breathtaking, but the real appeal of sail Croatia was the partying. Every afternoon started off slow with a few ciders while tanning on the top deck but as the sun set, every evening escalated quickly into a full blown party on board before hitting the clubs on shore. The only rule of sail Croatia we were told on day 1 was be back on board the boat at 5am to avoid being left behind, so every night we partied until 4.59am and rushed back to the cabin just in the nick of time. The clubbing life we were exposed to in Croatia was wild- we went to 2 clubs on islands which we had to take a boat to, a huge 3 storey warehouse with dancers in cages, one in a cave and one in a jungle, as well as numerous normal clubs thrown in the mix. Every night was so much fun and the crew of our boat I had been so quick to judge turned out to be a fantastic bunch, and we all had am absolute blast. As always groups form, and our group of 9 girls were all close to tears at the end of the week after 7 crazy days and nights together. The 10 boys on our bot of 40 were extremely outnumbered but managed to hold their own and were loads of fun too.
I was extremely sad to leave Sail Croatia- what a lifestyle to lead! Wake up at 10am, eat breakfast, tan on the roof of the boat, stop at a beautiful cove or a random spot in the middle of the ocean for a swim stop, jump, flip and leap off the top deck into the water for an hour or 2, feast on an enormous lunch, go back and tan, get started on the ciders, arrive at the town and explore for a few hours whether it be a local beach or a winery, shops or a national park and then dinner, back onto the boat for pres, a wild night of partying, sitting up and watching the sunrise, and then piling into bed for a few hours sleep before doing it all over again.
Best crew, best lifestyle and best week of fun in the sun! 10/10 Croatia!
