    A great experience not to be missed out on.

    We were lucky enough to go on the Half Day Sailing Experience with Drinks, GoPro, SUP, and found the experience to be absolutely delightful and above and beyond our expectations. Before we left the marina, we were given a few options of where we might like to go. These ranged from popular snorkelling and swimming spots recommended by the skipper to a more scenic tour around the nearby nature reserve islands. Our skipper, Silvano, was absolutely brilliant and great company throughout our time on board. He was very easy to have a conversation with and a pleasure to spend time with. Whilst sailing, he was confident and professional, and there was never a moment when we felt unsafe. Silvano was excellent. There were two of us, along with a family of four. The boat was more than big enough to accommodate us all. The stern was spacious enough for everyone to sit comfortably, allowing us to chat and enjoy drinks together. The boat was also very stable, and because of this, guests were allowed to helm the boat under instruction. This is a great tour for families, as the boat is very spacious and accommodating. We recently (the following day) went on a sunset tour with another company, which we had booked before our holiday, and the service was not even close to what we received with Sail Istria. Had we not already booked the sunset tour with another company, we would have been back with Sail Istria in a heartbeat. Take your time to read through the other reviews these guys have — they will not disappoint you!

    Paul was an amazing skipper and made our half-day boat trip in Pula such a great experience! We were celebrating a 27th birthday, and he made the day feel extra special while still keeping everything so relaxed and easy. He was kind, informative, and really personalized the experience to what we wanted. The boat had plenty of room, and it was honestly the perfect way to spend the afternoon. 10000000% recommend Paul if you’re in Pula!

    Sunset sailing, dolphins & fantastic trip!

    Had an absolutely fantastic boat trip around the Pula coast with Sale Istria! There were eight of us plus Captain Pavao, and he made the whole evening so special from start to finish. Captain Pavao was brilliant - super friendly, relaxed, and clearly loves what he does. He took us out to a beautiful swimming spot, and we were lucky enough to spot dolphins along the way, which was such a magical moment. As the sun started to set, he put on some perfect chilled-out music and raised the sails, and honestly the views were incredible. There was so much to do on board - some of the group went snorkeling, others had a go on the paddleboard, and the boys in our group did some cliff jumping, which they absolutely loved. We got some brilliant GoPro footage of it all too. To top it off, we were treated to an authentic Istrian platter with drinks, which was a really lovely touch and gave the evening a proper local feel. It was relaxed, fun, and full of laughter from start to finish - genuinely one of the highlights of our whole trip. Great company, great food, great music, and an amazing captain. Couldn’t recommend Sale Istria highly enough!

    Sailing worry free

    Paul genuinely wants to make sure you enjoy yourself. He loves his job and he loves sailing. If you book this you definitely will not regret it. If I could give this 10 stars I would.

    Fabulous sailing trip

    We had a wonderful sailing trip with Paul. He is a very charming and personable skipper. The stop off for swimming was lovely and refreshing in 33C and we stayed cool under the boat canopy. Paul’s knowledge of the history of the coast was impressive. We can thoroughly recommend this enjoyable experience. We even saw Dolphins. Thanks Paul

    Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pula.

    How much does Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pula usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests) take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pula is not rushed.

    Is Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pula, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests)?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pula can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pula and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pula within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Pula?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pula experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medulin-Kamenjak 5h boat trip ALL-INCLUSIVE drinks on Sandra Boat, Dolphin Watching & Sunset Boat Tour With Drinks & optional Dinner, Medulin: All-Inclusive Pirate Boat Tour to Kamenjak Cave & Levan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Pula?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Pula?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Pula: Half-Day Sailing with Drinks, SUP & GoPro (Max 7 Guests)?

    +

    Included: Use of onboard GoPro camera (shared use); Complimentary drinks: Istrian wine, Teranino liqueuer, beer, soft drinks, and bottled wate; Snorkeling gear (masks and snorkels) for exploring underwater; Use of Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP); and Goods & services tax.
