Whether you prefer anchorages or marinas, cities or nature, on-board cooking or dining out, we’ll consider your interests and the latest weather forecasts to provide personalized insights for a safe and enjoyable Adriatic sailing experience.
WEATHER WARNINGS
Warnings based on your GPS location.
Using Google Maps/Whatsapp/Navionics or Life360 app to track your position, we’ll monitor the weather together with you. For example, if there’s a NEVERA warning in your area, we’ll remind you to check the Blitzortung app. If we detect a strong Jugo approaching in three days, we’ll give you a heads-up, recommend marinas to book, and suggest route adjustments to ensure your safety.
