- It’s cozy (aka… close quarters)
Space is tight. If you need more space as part of your regular personal bubble, this is more of a land-based luxury that we cannot offer. You don’t have to be claustrophobic… but if you are, this might be an excellent (and immersive) exposure therapy experience. Well, Dali is 38 feet, which is quite spacious in boat terms, but still requires a bit of awareness. Keeping things tidy and being mindful of shared space goes a long way. - Water = liquid gold
Dali only has the capacity to carry 300L of fresh water. Fun fact, this is roughly what the average Canadian uses in a day. We stretch that to a week. Think quick showers, saltwater dishwashing, rarely flushing (haha, just jokes, the boat uses salt water in the toilet), but turning taps off like it’s a game of speed is required. - Soft bags preferred, please
Storage is a bit like a game of Tetris. Bringing luggage that doesn’t pack down can be problematic and may mean you are sharing your bed with your hard suitcase (just jokes, we can probably find space somewhere). Soft, packable bags are generally key though. - A little X-tra effort required
We try to anchor whenever possible (marinas in Croatia are $$$—around €125/night 😬). This means dinghy rides to shore, climbing in and out of the boat, and occasionally getting a little wet. Being a little nimble and adventurous is important. - Sharing is caring
If we head into a marina or need to top up fuel, water, or provisions, we’d really appreciate guests pitching in their share. - Cooking Togetherness
Besides breakfasts, we’ll plan to cook and eat together onboard (when eating on the boat) as it uses less gas, fewer dishes, more fun. We can plan meals ahead so everyone’s happy. And there will definitely be time for some great restaurants along the way. Personal snacks and treats are also always welcome. - Veggie Vessel Vibes
For those who know me—no surprises! We keep Dali meat-free and ask guests to respect that and save any carnivorous cravings for meals ashore. - Plans are meant to be broken
Sailing life runs on weather, not schedules. Winds change, routes shift, and plans adapt. Flexibility is essential. We will try to stick to our desired schedule as best as we can but no matter what, we’ll make it an adventure.
If you’ve read all this and are still thinking, “Yep, I’m in” then we’re excited to have you aboard.
Let’s make some plans and get you out here.
