The Origin

How the original
vegan sailing week was born.

In 2020, while the sailing world was standing still, two women from inland Croatia had an idea. Matea Sedlaček — one of the few female skippers on the Adriatic — and her girlfriend Marina Minko, a plant-based chef building her professional career, decided to connect the two things they loved: sailing the Dalmatian islands and eating extraordinarily well.

They launched Croatia's first vegan sailing week with Alvus Sailing. It sold out. The next year sold out. Every year since has sold out. For 2026, they sail exclusively through Unda Mora Yachting — your private catamaran or sailboat, your crew, your week on the Adriatic. This is not a retreat. This is not a group tour. This is the original — and the best.

What You Get

Three things
we never compromise on.

01

Plant-Based Gastronomy

Every meal is prepared by Marina Minko — fresh, seasonal, sourced from island markets each morning. Full breakfast daily, four lunches, four dinners, continuous snacking. Because luxury begins at the table.

02

Your Vessel — Sailboat or Catamaran

Choose your preferred vessel from the available fleet. Catamaran options offer more space and stability; sailboat options offer a more traditional sailing experience. Both fully crewed, both entirely private. Vessel options and pricing confirmed at enquiry.

03

Full Professional Crew

Matea (licensed skipper) handles all navigation, safety, and routing. Marina runs the galley and all hospitality. This is a fully crewed charter — you are guests, not crew.

Meet Your Crew

Matea & Marina.
The women who started it.

Matea Sedlaček

Skipper

Matea is a professional skipper, fitness entrepreneur, and one of a handful of female captains on the Adriatic. Originally from Kutina, she first encountered sailing at the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb — and never looked back. She's been working as a skipper since 2014, was discovered by a German travel agency specialising in sailing, and has since built a reputation as a captain guests trust completely.

Marina Minko

Executive Plant-Based Chef

Marina is a self-taught executive plant-based chef with experience across European restaurant kitchens, vegan cruises, and hotel consulting. She has published 100+ food columns, led professional culinary teams, and built a career around a single conviction: bold, modern plant-based food that genuinely excites guests — including those who've never considered veganism.
