Details
Get ready for a panoramic boat trip along the St. Anthony Canal from Šibenik. After we set off from the port of Šibenik, you will have an incredible view of the panorama of the medieval town. As we pass the old town, you can see three fortresses on a hill and have an exclusive view of Šibenik's bridge over the river Krka. Among the hidden treasures of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Cathedral of St. James. This is one of the most important buildings in Šibenik and represents the transition from late Gothic to Renaissance. Our guide on board will tell you everything about the history of the area and is well-prepared to answer your questions. If you book the seashell tasting option, you will enjoy delicious mussels freshly prepared for you at lunchtime.
As we leave the city behind, we enter the famous St. Anthony Canal, which connects Šibenik's bay with the Adriatic Sea. Get ready for a relaxing ride and see the beauty of the adjacent coasts, which will win over every nature lover with their lush greenery. After about two kilometres, we reach our last sight before heading back towards the harbour. The St. Nicholas Fortress, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 2017, is a sea fortress built in the 16th century to protect against attacks by the Turkish army, and its white stone and brick construction makes it a particularly impressive sight.

A wonderful little excursion. It takes an hour, which is just the right amount of time with a small child. The skipper even speaks relatively good German and explains everything. A thoroughly enjoyable trip!
