I wasn't hungry when I started this one. It's indeed paradise.
Igor , you are Croatia's best ambassador. Your videos will bring many visitors there.
👍🍻🙌
I love your videos Igor! It's so absolutely beautiful in Croatia. Was never a place I though I would want to go, but now I really dream of seeing it. I wish you well, thanks!
Thanks Matthew 🙏🍻👍
İgor Stopnik , My favorite Captain on youtube ...
Thanks 🙏🍻 “TH-cam Captain” 😃😂
Thank you for another beautiful Croatian and a sailboat tour, Igor!
Thanks Mitchell 🙏👍🍻
@@IgorStropnik You are very welcome, Igor! Your self-tacking comments are priceless!
So beautiful! These images make me relax a lot! Thank you!
👍🍻
Просто-Сказка!!!!!
I LOVE your videos - lessons learns fun, laughter all in one x
Thanks Tabby!
Wow, Croatia is beautiful! I had no idea until I watched this video. Also, great job on your other videos ... really enjoy your opinions on how the mono-hulls compare to the catamarans, and also the general sailing tips and insight. Keep up the good work ... enjoy the wonderful landscapes and also the humor that you interject ... very funny. Thanks for posting.
Thanks 👍🍻
Thank you for promoting Croatia Igore 🙏🍷
🍻👍
Your videos are loaded with sailing tips while providing beautiful sceneries! Great combination!
Thanks 🙏🍻
Love it. Good work as usual
Thanks 🙏🍻
Chcę takie wakacje! Pięknie! Dziękuję za przekaz
Thanks Ewa 👍😀
My dad used to have a boat in Croatia. Always wanted to go down to these islands with it but never got the chance. Great video! Lots of fun. It's motivating us to get tickets to Croatia this summer.
Croatia is the best!
Great video👍🏻 I‘m looking forward to the next one👍🏻
Thanks 🙏👍🍻
Thank you Igor for the great video and the useful tips again. Happy to see Horido flying :-) Guess what: it was already without self-tacking when we rented Horido mid September, so they listened to you :-) It was great to meet you personally at Arsenol. Waiting for the next vids, Greetings from Hungary
Thanks Attila🙏🍻 See you in Croatia!
I love how you appreciate the foods
Know so much.✌
😀🍻🍕🍔🥩
what I hope for one day soon (tm)..
from Ro to US and back to Croatia after 10 years of sailing it in my yearly days.
Cant wait
Goood journey 👍good skipper ,good crew ,food and sailing .repeat
Thanks Martin 🙏🍻👍
Beautiful ancoring places.
Wow wa we wa this food amazing thank you for showing this Igor just the best
Thanks 🙏
The best video that i've seen.
Thanks Jon 🙏🍻☃️🎄🙌
Love the video. Great recommendation for Arsenol, we sailed there on Wednesday through some rough weather and it was worth the effort.
Thanks 🍻 Going to Arsenol in 1h 😃
Kudos on the awesome headlamp in the tunnels
🍻🙏
pretty sure that's a cricket.
Beautiful port city/town; every day I discover another place I want to travel to! I'd find a local DJ and throw a party in those tunnels.
That girl was crackin' me up when they were trying to bury the rail 😂. and I need those waffle biscuit things immediately.
That self tacking jib though, what in the hell? I've never seen something so ridiculous, it's like for a toy boat or something.
👍🍻
Vielen Dank fürs mitnehmen 👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏
Very nice!
Thanks 🙏🙌
Great video!
Thanks 🙏
Amen ! "Super Cool" (in "Franglaise"). I was in Europe and Australia in exile (Bush Wars) from 83 to 96. I really felt drawn to this area, but it was not easy and open. Thank You for this special tour. Even more spectacular, and like your channel, a "best kept secret" ?
Thanks 🙏
@@IgorStropnik I also love to use "Super Cool" but in French accent. Very funny..
Nice video,
I am subscribed 😊
Thanks 🙏
32:00 i see Igor is a man of culture.😉
Pozdrav iz Zagreba.
Nice walls 🙌😀
Hardest thirdwheel I have ever seen, love it tho!
😃🙌🍻
Bravissimo
🍻
You took my advice !!! Dang, I have influence !! Your videos are great, with or without females in bikinis. I appreciate the travel and the sailing knowledge.
Thanks🙏🍻
Greetings from Kaštela,Croatia..
Thanks! Greetings back to Kastela!
i did my army service on Vis , coastal artillery , in those old bunkers you showed .
Wow..would love to hear a story from you 👍
@@IgorStropnik
So , there were huge war games called Podgora 72 , our unit in those bunkers was supposed to hit a target drone being pulled by a tugboat . We had old Ansaldi guns 105 mm that were given as part of war compensation by Italy . Anyway I was more concerned that the gun might explode and kill us all than hitting the drone . Btw we missed the target and happily survived .
Interesting 😯👍
Love your videos Igor! Will we see you this weekend in Annapolis??
Thanks Laura! Annapolis is on other continent…too far 😕
You have me convinced. I want to sail Croatia! I have enjoyed your videos since I saw your film of your Laser II sail of the Adriatic some time ago. What is minimum size cruising sailboat available for charter in Croatia? Is crewed charter recommended? I am a very experienced ocean sailor, but the "local knowledge" harbors and secluded spots are worth more than having to be captain for a week.
You can rent First 21. Local knowledge is always the best but you will be fine on your own with some recherche.
Nice one Igor, when i get that boat you can teach me. cheers
Thanks Kevin🍻 Sailing is easy you learn quickly.
Love the self tackers BUT you need another light air furler on a small sprit outside for those lighter days
Extra sail would be perfect 👍
Self tacking Jib hitmen on their way. Lol. Love Croatia!
🍻😂
I Like that you explain so much about Sailing not everybody here ist a Sailor, so its so helpful to understand. Buy the way does someone told you once that you look like Tom Cruise ?? You do, but much better !!
Thanks 🍻 I heard about Tom…he is probably half of my body weight 😄
@@IgorStropnik Thats What i say ! He is Not half of you😬😂
@@trickkitefly 😂 he can fly Jet fighter🤔😂
Fakat si napravio promociju Dalmacije/Hrvatske Igore.Od sada pratim kanal 😃👍.
Pozz iz Zagreba
👍🍻
pretty girl and sailboat, perfect!
👍🙌🍻
Igor super, We are going very simillar crusie next week. Please was it possible to park directly near Konoba Marina on Mljet?
Thanks 🙏 Marijina konoba has buoys but you have to reserve.
Just amazing. This place is absolutely beautiful. The food looks incredible.
I have a couple questions. Who’s boat is this and are you on vacation or is this a job of some sort?
Love the videos. Really enjoy watching.
Charter boat. I am pro skipper. Thanks 🍻👍
@@IgorStropnik you are living the life dude. Didn’t look like you were doing a whole lot of “skippering” on this cruise!
@@MBdrummer3288 He's just the camera man and chief Critic (positive).
Lighten up Igor, mostly lower experienced renters use this boat like me
😃🍻🙌
Can you pull out the map next time?!!! Or, gimme a pseudo idea of where to hunt for those places?……looks fabulous
Good idea. This boat had bad plotter but next time I could show on paper chart 🍻🙏
I am guessing that the hole in the bench ( at 12:30 ) was designed to support O2 bottles or other scuba diving equipment.
Maybe...
I like your movies. It would be nice if you would mention the month in which the recording takes place in the movie description.
Thanks! This was in July.
Really nice videao, tour and boat. But how tall are you to bump your head??
Thanks James 🙏🍻 I am 190cm, 100kg
Amazing and no sharks right .?
No 🦈 🙌👍
A lovely cruise, indeed! And amazing narration Igor👍
Would you be so kind and share that climbing rock location, where that lady’s trying to climb @33:00?
Thank you very much.
Thanks 🙏 Cliffbase
Hello Igor, is it possible to get the turn route? great channel by the way
Thanks 🍻 Trogir,Vis, Vela luka, Lastovo, Mljet, Cavtat,Molunat, Dubrovnik, Ston, Peljesac, Korcula,Hvar, Solta, Drvenik veli, Trogir.
@@IgorStropnik Hi Igor. We are an family in Oz and love watching your journey. Thank you. We are coming to Trogir to hire an Elba 45 for 7 days. Is 7 days enough to follow your journey on this video? How much time did you take?
@@cameronlgreen We did it in 14days.
This is becoming more and more an eating than a sailing channel.
I wonder how many best restaurants and best wines there are in Croatia? I think Igor is exaggerating here a lot.
We just spent a week touring Croatia with Igor and experienced the best food of our lives! We’ve been over to over 20 countries, and Croatia had, by far, the best food we’ve ever experienced. Igor is definitely not exaggerating.
Thanks S&J 🍻🙏😃 I am on diet after this season…🍏🍌🥬🥕
Eating and Sailing are partners 😀 The best is to visit Croatia and judge for yourself. We all have different tastes but 99% visitors would agree 🤷
@@IgorStropnik I spent a 3 weeks vacation in Croatia several years ago and must admit that the food is most of the time really good.
Nevertheless, I subscribed to your channel because of sailing combined with your excellent seamanship. Unfortunately this gets more and more in the background.
This winter I have a couple of pure sailing projects planed. Back to Sailing 😃
Is this filmed in October? Going next October and just looking at how the weather is
This was july.
Which month it was filmed? Your favorite spot in that area for anchor?
July. Many places 🍻
is there a habour wifi in the bays around the world? what are the best ways to go online on sea?
Access to Wi-Fi in bays and harbors around the world can vary greatly depending on the location and infrastructure. Some marinas and harbors offer Wi-Fi services to boaters and sailors, but the quality and availability of these services can be inconsistent. Here are some ways to go online while at sea:
Marina and Harbor Wi-Fi: Many marinas and harbors in developed areas provide Wi-Fi access to boaters. However, the signal may be limited to certain areas of the marina, and the quality of the connection can vary. Some may charge for access or offer it for free to guests.
Cellular Data: Cellular networks often extend to coastal areas, allowing you to use your mobile device's cellular data connection for internet access. Ensure you have a suitable data plan, and be aware that signal strength can weaken as you move farther from the coast.
Satellite Internet: Satellite internet is a reliable option for staying connected at sea. There are maritime satellite internet providers that offer global coverage. Equipment costs and subscription fees can be relatively high, but the service is generally stable and offers high-speed internet access.
Long-Range Wi-Fi Antennas: Some boaters install long-range Wi-Fi antennas on their vessels to access distant Wi-Fi networks, such as those in harbors or nearby businesses. These antennas can extend your range, but they require setup and configuration.
Sailor-Focused Wi-Fi Services: There are companies that cater specifically to the needs of sailors and provide Wi-Fi access solutions at sea. These services often combine satellite connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspots on board.
Inmarsat and Iridium: Companies like Inmarsat and Iridium offer satellite communication solutions, including internet access, suitable for maritime use. These services are often used for both communication and data access while at sea.
Offshore Internet Cafes: In some coastal areas, you might find offshore internet cafes or vessels that offer internet access to passing boaters. These are mobile Wi-Fi services designed for boaters.
Keep in mind that the availability of these options may vary depending on your location and your vessel's capabilities. It's a good idea to plan ahead, research the connectivity options for your specific cruising area, and ensure you have the necessary equipment and plans in place to stay connected while at sea. Additionally, consider redundancy in your connectivity solutions, as being without internet access can be a challenge, especially for longer sea journeys.
In Croatia 5g everywhere. Otherwise starlink.
Why have two helm stations on a mono hull boat? My car has one steering wheel, gas and brake pedal on the left side only. And I can park just fine on the right side of the road.
You can see the front sails better if you are on the edge of boat and also body weight is better against boat healing.
@@IgorStropnik Heeling! Another reason to get a catamaran. Of course now you need a helm station on each side because the boat is so darn wide. I can't win!
Good old tiller steering 😄
@@cestmoi1262 I can't imagine sailing without heeling. Even 30ft now have 2 helm stations because they are so wide you can't see properly from leeward side.
do they charge boats to drop anchor
there?
Mostly you can avoid it if you know area
if they do charge how much is it.?
@@terrancedick8912 20-100eur
Bluff Oysters from NZ hands down best Oysters in th3vworld ask anyone who has tried them .
So there are more best oysters 🦪😃 I like them all
@2:20 to my shame I would have to get a local captain to dock it for me
Just use more speed 😃😂
sad see sunseeker engine less
Yes 😔
Bro, 4 bathrooms on a 46 ft boat? Why?
Charter business demands.
@@IgorStropnik BS, I’ve charted, many times. And you’re full of shift.
54:08 It's Peglica not Fićo
My mistake 😀👍🍻
😂was thinking the same like wait a minute that's not a fico...glad to know I am not the only one that can recognize a peglica a mile away
I gather that you rent the boat for paying clients / crew ? I would think that owners and builders should pay for your review including positive criticism for safety, practicality and comfort ?
I like your thinking 👍😃 Thanks 🍻
@@IgorStropnik That trip from Amsterdam to Barcelona was a huge endorsement for Lagoon and those location beacons are both essential and priceless ??
@@eugenio1542 PLBs and EPIRBs help a lot with safety.
@@IgorStropnik Never heard of them ? How do YOU earn by promoting ? Click the link below ?
@@eugenio1542 I don’t promote.
He's a Bore
Thanks for the video! I noticed you never afraid of leaving boat anchored alone, what if anchor drags? Has it ever happened to you? In my sailing school I was always told not to leave boat anchored alone without a watchkeeper 😁
Always afraid but if you know your anchor, local weather and ground of anchorage than risk is little. I never leave boat for long time.
Great video!
Thanks!
