With idea into project towards future!

Project Alice in Waterland

What is it?

The project was created to give families the opportunity to experience unique holidays on the sailing boat, respecting the environment and at a fixed cost.

The love for the sea and many years of experience in the nautical sector, Federica and Damjan gave birth to the idea of ​​being able to make this type of tourism accessible to everyone, with a flat rate without worries and where the crew takes care of any need. The great innovation is being able to welcome families on board, especially children, usually frowned upon and often rejected in classic charters, offering a safe and child-friendly sailing boat, with fun and entertaining activities, but always with open eye on safety.

And the boat?

Our sailing boat is a Gib Sea 51, from Dufour, Sloop rig, from 2004. After the purchase, an important refitting was carried out at the Orioli shipyard in Ravenna which made improvements and innovations from an environmental point of view.
