PICKLEBALL, ANYONE?

Imagine a sunny day at a local court, where you gather with your loved ones, armed with paddles and a wiffle ball.

As the sun begins to set and a day comes to a close, you realize that playing pickleball with friends and family isn’t just about competition – it’s about creating lasting memories and strengthening the bonds that bring you together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE CAN YOU PLAY PICKLEBALL IN CROATIA?

There are couple courts in Croatia: Zagreb, Milna on island Brac, Split, and Veli Losinj. However, there are many tennis courts that we turn into pickleball courts in Dubrovnik, Korcula, Split and starting in 2024 we also have a court on our Aretha yacht.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO PLAY PICKLEBALL IN CROATIA?

On the sea coast pickleball can be played from April up until mid October.

HOW DO YOU PLAY PICKLEBALL ON A YACHT?

There is inflatable court that the yacht crew can create in any bay. The court is anchored and fixed to the side of the vessel to make it stable and play is possible anywhere. It takes around 120 mins for the crew to prepare the court and about the same time to put it back on the vessel. Usually, this is done when staying in a certain bay for the whole day.

WHAT ARE TYPICAL CITIES AND DESTINATIONS FOR FIRST-TIME VISITORS?

Most usual are Split, Plitvice Lakes, Hvar, and Dubrovnik while for longer stays we add Zagreb and Istrian region famous for its rich gastronomy.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN M/V ARETHA HOLD?

Capacity of both Symphony and Aretha is 30 people. However, average number of people booked on the vessel throughout the season is 24.
