Led by record-breaking freediver William Winram and an expert ocean skipper, each day blends hands-on seamanship with breathwork, in-water skills development, and personal challenges. From island anchorages to relaxed evenings on deck, it’s as much about connection and learning as it is about the scenery. 🌊 Key Details Duration: 7 days Activity type: Liveaboard sailing and freediving expedition Experience level: Suitable for all levels Location: Croatia – Split, Šolta, Vis, Bisevo, Pakleni Islands Accommodation type: Shared double or single cabins (maximum 2 per cabin) ⛵ Trip Details Day 1 – Arrival and Orientation Arrive at ACI Marina, Split, between 2pm and 4pm and board your yacht.

No prior sailing experience is necessary to join the trip. The yacht is fully equipped for hands-on learning, and the skipper will provide step-by-step guidance throughout the week. Participants will be encouraged to take part in helming, sail trimming, reefing, and navigation exercises according to their comfort level. All activities are adapted to individual skill levels. Even complete beginners will gain confidence in practical seamanship while contributing to the daily operation of the yacht. The goal is a balance between learning, participation, and relaxation. ### Do I need to be an experienced freediver? The expedition is designed for all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced freedivers. William Winram provides personalised coaching, helping each participant develop breath-hold, equalisation, and body positioning techniques safely and effectively. Your individual progress is monitored during each session, with adjustments made to ensure you are challenged without being overwhelmed. Even first-time freedivers can build confidence and explore their limits in a safe, supportive environment. ### What equipment do I need to bring? Specialist equipment is not required for this trip. All freediving and safety equipment will be provided on board, including fins, masks, snorkels, wetsuits, weight belts, and safety gear. A detailed kit list is sent to participants before departure. Participants only need to bring simple holiday clothing suitable for warm weather and time on the water. Sun protection, swimwear, and comfortable deck shoes are recommended. Any personal items for leisure or relaxation onboard can be brought as needed. ### Is the trip suitable for single travellers? Yes, single travellers are welcome. There are two single cabins available, giving privacy to solo participants. Sharing space in the communal areas of the yacht is part of the experience, but personal cabins ensure comfort during rest periods. Small group sizes mean solo travellers can easily integrate with the crew. The limited number of participants allows for personalised attention, making it an ideal way to meet like-minded individuals while enjoying a tailored adventure. ### When do we join and leave the boat? Arrival should be scheduled between 2pm and 4pm on the first day at ACI Marina, Split. Clear instructions will be provided to help you locate the yacht, check in, and familiarise yourself with the facilities. Disembarkation occurs mid-morning on the final day, following breakfast. Guests are advised to allow extra time between the end of the trip and any onward travel, in case of minor delays in port or while clearing customs. ### How physically demanding is the trip? While no prior experience is required, participants should have a reasonable level of fitness and swimming ability. Freediving sessions require comfort in the water, basic swimming skills, and the capacity to manage breath-hold exercises under supervision. Sailing activities involve moderate physical effort, including moving around the yacht, handling sails, and occasional anchoring or mooring tasks. The trip is structured to balance active training with time for rest and relaxation. ### Is the itinerary fixed? The itinerary is a guide and may be adapted based on weather conditions, participant interests, and local opportunities. Flexibility is key to making the most of both sailing and freediving activities, ensuring safety and maximising enjoyment. Each day combines structured sessions with opportunities for spontaneous exploration. Anchoring in remote bays and adjusting plans according to currents, winds, and visibility allows participants to experience Croatia’s Adriatic coastline at its best. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/WilliamWinramPortraitWavysail.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
