The boat leaves past the Roman amphitheatre and the Uljanik shipyard cranes, cruises by Brijuni National Park and reaches Rovinj, where a local guide leads a one-hour walk before free time in the old town. Lunch, with a choice of menu, is served while sailing the Lim Fjord as far as the Pirate Cave, and the day ends with a two-hour swimming stop on Red Island, also known as Sveti Andrija.
