Inspiring Experiences

We create a once-in-a-lifetime experience, every time:

- Flexible and Custom – We match your style, pace and interests with a unique and flexible itinerary, allowing you to explore on your own, stop at will and enjoy chance encounters along the way.
- Authentic and Local – Every itinerary is created specifically for you by your local AE host who knows the people, the behind-the-scenes narrative, the hotels, the villas, the yachts, the restaurants, the unique experiences, the itineraries and the special touches that make your trip unforgettable, truly authentic, enjoyable & carefree.
- Private & Individual – We create the trip-of-a-lifetime, every time with personal exclusivity, the essence of private luxury. We constantly seek out new experiences to share with our guests, sometimes this means making recommendations along the way to enhance your itinerary as we get to know you and you get to know Croatia.
- Personal Touch Support Options – Because our trips are completely custom and private, we match your support level with your travel style. We offer a range of choices from Self-Guided to fully supported travel hosted by your local AE host , who is with you 24 x 7 (and everything in between).

We support the local people, small businesses & the environment. All of our trips are private and custom with local drivers, skippers, guides & experts, who are knowledgeable & friendly. They love to share their world, their lives and their insights with you – the age old stories, the anecdotes, the history, the places, the traditions, their homes – together we create a uniquely memorable experience for you.

Our world class skippers, cooks and crews work all over the world with us to deliver a premier, safe and unique sailing experience. They know the islands, people and destinations intimately and love to share their deep, intrinsic heritage with you.
