During the week, each evening before you return to the cabins of your catamaran in the marina, you will have to sample the succulent dishes for which Croatia is renowned. If you are looking for advice, feel free to ask the skipper of your yacht charter, or get information from Marina Veruda. Many places can be found a short distance from your boat in the berths, so you can head straight for something to eat once you have returned from the islands.
A famous aperitif in Croatia that you will be served in every restaurant in Pula is pršut, olives and sheep’s cheese. Istrian pršut is a dried ham, like Italian prosciutto, that was seasoned and dried for almost a year in the cold Bora wind. The details on the production of this dish make it fascinating, and a highlight of any sailing trip in Pula. Bring some back to enjoy on your yacht charter in the marina, or the next day before you sail the coast on your boat. You must also try the famous pasta of Pula – fuzi and gnocchi, served with truffle or žgvacet, sauce made with onions. One thing is for sure: you will not go hungry in this town as you sail throughout the islands of Pula and Croatia.
When sailing in Croatia, the true authentic culture is most evident in smaller towns like Pula, where details on the vast and intriguing history contribute to making the yacht charter experience more memorable. Make sure you leave your cabins early so you can explore the museums of Pula, the House of Istrian Olive Oil, and the Maritime Museum of Istria, the latter of which will interest anyone who loves to sail or spend time on their boat in the ocean. These places are perfect if you need a break from sailing on your catamaran charter, or if you just fancy leaving your yacht in the berths of the marina while you wander through the ancient town of Pula. It is a truly remarkable location in Croatia, and entry to all is at an extremely low price!
Pula has transformed to an energetic festival town. They are held year-round in historic monuments, drawing crowds from across Croatia and further every day.

The oldest film festival in Croatia, this is an extraordinary opportunity to be immersed in a monumental setting in Pula watching some fine pieces of work by filmmakers. It will be the topic of discussion long after you return to the cabins of your catamaran in the berths of the marina, or something to talk about with your skipper as you continue your week travelling the coast of Croatia by sail boat. Other amazing festivals to attend during your yacht charter week in Pula include the underground electro festival Dimensions and famous music festival Seasplash.
