-A Week on the Boat with Bikes: Exploring the Adriatic and Pedal at a Time

Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle waves lapping against the side of a boat, stepping onto the deck to breathe in the fresh sea air, and setting off on a cycling adventure to a new destination each day. This was our reality for an entire week, as we embarked on an unforgettable journey around the stunning Adriatic, cycling from one charming location to the next, all while enjoying the comfort of our floating hotel.

-The Perfect Combination: A Boat and a Bike

What makes this adventure unique is the perfect combination of a boat and a bike. The boat served as our home, taking us from one beautiful destination to another. Each morning, after breakfast on board, we would disembark at a new location, ready to explore on two wheels. The journey was as much about the thrill of cycling through picturesque coastal towns, hidden beaches, and scenic hills as it was about the joy of being on the water.

-Tailored to Our Preferences

One of the highlights of this trip was the flexibility of the itinerary. Our route was chosen by us in collaboration with the captain. Each day, we discussed where we wanted to go, and the boat would take us to a nearby harbor or bay, ready to embark on a new cycling adventure. From the bustling streets of Hvar to the peaceful, remote beaches of Brač, we experienced a side of the Adriatic that few ever get to see. It was a truly personalized experience, where we got to decide how our days unfolded.

-Cycling Through Charming Coastal Towns

Each day brought us to a new destination, each with its own unique charm. In some places, we cycled along the coast, where the turquoise sea shimmered beside us. In others, we found ourselves riding through small villages, exploring narrow streets and local markets. Every turn revealed new sights—whether it was a centuries-old church, a hidden cove, or a cliffside offering panoramic views of the sea. The bikes allowed us to see these places in a way that would be impossible by car, with the added bonus of stopping wherever we wanted to take a photo, take a swim, or simply enjoy the view.

-A Unique Sense of Freedom

The freedom we experienced during this trip was unparalleled. Unlike other vacations where you’re tied to a hotel or resort, this journey allowed us to go where the wind—or in our case, the boat—took us. Each morning, we would wake up in a new place, and the anticipation of the day’s cycling adventure was always exciting. The boat provided the perfect base, offering us comfort and a place to relax after a long day of pedaling, with delicious meals, cool drinks, and beautiful views as the sun set over the Adriatic.

-A Taste of the Adriatic

While cycling was the highlight of the trip, the culinary experience was just as unforgettable. Every evening, after our rides, we were treated to fresh, local meals that highlighted the best of Dalmatian cuisine. From fresh seafood and grilled meats to local cheeses and olives, each meal felt like a celebration of the region’s rich food culture. And of course, a glass of local wine to accompany every meal added the perfect finishing touch.

-A Vacation Like No Other

A week spent on a boat with bikes is the perfect way to experience the Adriatic at your own pace. The combination of cycling and sailing gave us a sense of adventure, freedom, and relaxation all in one. We were able to explore new places each day, enjoy the beauty of the sea, and immerse ourselves in the local culture—all while staying in comfort on our boat.

This trip isn’t just about visiting new places—it’s about the journey itself. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or simply someone who loves exploring new destinations, this type of vacation offers something for everyone. And for those who want to do it all—cycling, swimming, sightseeing, and enjoying great food—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.

So if you’re looking for a unique and active way to explore the Adriatic, this is the adventure for you. One week, one boat, and endless possibilities—this trip will leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
