What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning yachts cruising Dalmatia and the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia and Montenegro may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a holiday cruising Dalmatia? For a sailing yacht cruising the Adriatic coast of Croatia, the Dalmatian Coast? Could you be dreaming of an excursion from medieval Dubrovnik north to medieval Korcula? Pausing each time the sea or shore tempts? An excursion continuing from Korcula to medieval Hvar? And from Hvar to ancient Split? Or could you be dreaming of a cruise south from Dubrovnik to Cavtat, ancient Epidaurus, and then to medieval Perast in the Gulf of Kotor? Perast with its two offshore islands one of which supports the Benedictine Abbey of St. George, a fort when Nelson was pursuing Bonaparte's flotillas, the other a reef onto which were sunk captured pirate hulls. Whichever, north or south from Dubrovnik, either direction takes you to scenically fascinating locales bordering deep blue sea under a warm sun. This is sea once dominated by large two-masted argosies of Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik in the middle ages when it was known as Ragusa, a maritime city state. Argosy is a word with which you might be familiar, but it is not a word derived from Jason's Argo, the galley used in his quest for the Golden Fleece. That was a quest through the Black Sea. This is the Adriatic, and the word argosy is rather derived from an Italian word ragusea, meaning Ragusan vessel, "an argosy bound to Tripolis, another to the Indies, a third to Mexico, a fourth to England." (Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice) How about it! Would you like to cruise Dalmatia, sail the Adriatic, dine on lobster pasta, or on little fish fried in garlic? At or between pauses for a swim or a stroll through history? Well, how about doing it aboard a crewed charter motor-sailer with accommodations for twelve or more guests. Nostalgija, sailing in the wake of Andrea Doria, that sixteenth century Genoese who briefly commanded the war galleys of Venice, war galleys repairing to Kotor when not hunting the Mediterranean for the likes of the Barbarossa brothers, Dragut, Sinan, and Piali Pasha, all sea captains and Ottoman admirals, Piali, Croatian by birth, rising to Lord High Admiral. Yes, do come. Come holiday with a group of friends aboard a charter yacht cruising Dalmatia leisurely from one picturesque Adriatic locale to another. Nostalgija, a superb crewed yacht available for cruising the Dalmatian Coast. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com |
