FUN FACTS
Which is your favourite island in Croatia and why?
Island Hvar - being in the center of central Dalmatia, this is the island you go whichever route you pick. With its vibrant main towns and plenty of natural bays, it makes a great place to be with almost any weather.
Which is the best bay?
It really depends on the day (and weather) to pick the right one, but I try to seek out the quieter, more private bays for guests to have a nice time to relaxing or partying – whatever the prefer!
What is your favourite food?
On Cool change I like dorada fish with baked potatoes and vegetables the best but I cannot miss mentioning fresh baked strudels for breakfast.
Which is your favourite restaurant to recommend to guests?
Dions at Taršće bay and Antica – Starigrad and Pojoda – Vis.
In your opinion, what is the best part about Cool Change?
Cool change has it all! On the one hand it is a super comfortable catamaran of just the right size, almost a mini-mega yacht where all cabins offer great privacy and equipment. It has enough room for crew to offer best possible service and at the same time is real sailing machine like no other cat of this kind - so you do get your sailing holiday experience with lot of sailing. Finally Cool Change is really ECO FRIENDLY; it burns the minimal amount of fuel possible and instead uses lots of solar panels, sails, efficient machinery and it is tweaked for minimum possible generator usage.
