Weekend in Istria from Rimini: Yacht and Catamaran Crossing to Rovinj

An Exclusive Escape Between Italy and Istria

Who says a long weekend has to be ordinary? With YACHT~ME, crossing the Adriatic turns a 3 or 4-day break into a luxurious and unforgettable adventure. Departing from the Marina di Rimini, we will set sail for Rovinj, the undisputed pearl of Croatian Istria.

Rovinj will welcome you with its unmistakable Venetian silhouette dominated by the Cathedral of St. Euphemia, its cobbled streets, and its gourmet restaurants overlooking the crystal-clear sea.
