Friends jumping together from a small ship into the Adriatic

PRIVATE INVITATION / VOLUME 01

A WEEK
THAT
MOVES.

24—31 JUL 2027
ŠIBENIK → DUBROVNIK
18 CABINS / 36 PEOPLE

YOU WERE SENT THIS FOR A REASON.

01 / THE IDEA

Seven days of swimming, long meals and unhurried time with people worth meeting.

SWIMSTOP is a private week on the Adriatic for friends, friends of friends and people who should probably know one another.

Some already do. Most won’t. By the end, the ship should feel less like somewhere you booked and more like a shared summer house that moved while you slept.

02 / SEEN ALONG THE WAY

NOT AN ITINERARY. MORE LIKE EVIDENCE.

03 / THE RHYTHM

NO ENTERTAINMENT
PROGRAMME.
NO COMPULSORY
FUN.

Just good places, shared tables and enough unplanned time to get to know one another properly.

  1. 01WAKE UP SOMEWHERE QUIET.
  2. 02SWIM BEFORE BREAKFAST.
  3. 03TAKE TOO LONG OVER BREAKFAST.
  4. 04SAIL, WALK OR GO ASHORE.
  5. 05FAMILY-STYLE LUNCH.
  6. 06NOTHING SCHEDULED FOR A WHILE.
  7. 07ANOTHER SWIM. OR A NAP.
  8. 08APERITIVO.
  9. 09DINNER ABOARD OR ASHORE.
  10. 10STAY UP. OR DON’T.

04 / ROUGHLY SPEAKING

THE
WEEK.

The route is real; the timetable is deliberately loose. Weather, berthing and a better idea may change the order.

  1. ŠIBENIK → BIBICH

    Come aboard, settle in and meet everyone. That evening, one long welcome dinner at Bibich with wine and a table big enough for all of us.

  2. VIS

    Morning swim. Long breakfast. Lunch while sailing. Another swim before arriving on Vis, with the evening left open.

  3. PAKLENI → HVAR

    A quiet morning, a good anchorage and most of the afternoon in the water. Hvar when the sun begins to fall.

  4. KORČULA

    A day with no headline: swim, breakfast, sail, lunch, swim again. Aperitivo aboard and the evening in Korčula.

  5. MLJET

    A slower day around Mljet—clear water, pine shade and time on land before returning aboard for dinner.

  6. JAKLJAN

    Nowhere else to be. Swimming, music, cards, naps and a long lunch. Aperitivo, the chef’s dinner and music after dark.

  7. DUBROVNIK

    One final swim, breakfast and the sail south. We arrive in Dubrovnik for a last evening together.

  8. GO HOME. EVENTUALLY.

    Breakfast, goodbyes and disembarkation in Dubrovnik.

05 / THE PEOPLE

THE GUEST LIST
MATTERS.

Thirty-six people. Some already know each other. Most won’t. Everyone is here because somebody thought they should be.

Come with a friend, come as a couple or come alone. You do not need to arrive knowing the room. By the end of the week, there probably won’t be one.
