Transition from France to Gibraltar
We invite you to take part in the transfer of the brand new 4-cabin catamaran from the French La Rochelle via Gibraltar, Palma and Palermo to our base in the Croatian Slano. If you recently unlearn it, this will be a great opportunity to get an offshore experience and roll miles. This is a real sea voyage, because the weather in November and December will prepare many surprises for us.
