How Water toys Upgrade Your Vacation

You’ve booked your boat and are looking forward to your well-deserved vacation. Boating most definitely has many advantages and thrills. 

But once you anchor for a swim, some lunch or for the night, water toys are maybe the only way to keep the thrills going. Especially if you have kids or teens on board. Keeping them entertained can sometimes be challenging! And you might even find yourself having more fun than you expected. Not to mention, water toys are also a great way to stay in shape while having so much fun.

Island hopping in a country like Croatia with 1244 islands, islets and rocks is definitely a great way to discover different bays, coves, and beaches, and what better way to do it than with water toys. Make sure you apply enough sunscreen on and explore away.

Here is a list of our top water toys that will upgrade your holiday.

SUP board

Stand up paddle boarding has been around for much longer than TIWAL. It’s one of the most popular water toys out there. This is an easy and fun outdoor water sports activity. It is considered to be one of the fastest-growing board sports in the world. You need good steady feet and balance, and a great workout and serious tanning are guaranteed! Kids can just sit or kneel in the front of the board or you can let them try it. You just need to adjust the height of the paddle. Do not worry about falling into the water since it is so inviting and refreshing.

Only top-quality SUP boards are available for rent and here’s our price list

Waterski

Water skiing is a water sport, where you are pulled by a boat through a rope. Usually dinghies do the pulling, but we recommend for the outboard engine to be at least 40 hp.

Tips for beginners:

• make sure to wear the proper sized life jacket
• bend the knees and ankles
• keep your arms almost straight
• keep your gaze forward and don’t look down
• adjust the bend in the knees and the body position in order to move around
• thumb up tells the driver to add more speed, thumb down to reduce it
• when falling let go of the rope to avoid being pulled
• tap the top of your head if you want to quit

Water Ski – 200 € / week

Included in the price of larger more luxurious catamarans.

Snorkeling

Swimming is probably one of the most common and pleasant things to do while sailing in Croatia. The beauties, life, and scenery underneath the surface are just as fascinating as the paysages, vistas, charming taverns, and towns above it. So, dive in and explore it, we have snorkel sets consisting of a mask, snorkel, and a pair of fins ready for rent. You are not likely to find Nemo in these areas, but some fascinating sea life is guaranteed – sponges, octopuses, crabs, anemones, seashells, starfish, sea urchins, all kinds of fish (sea bass, striped bream, mullet, rainbow wrasse, comber, white sea bream, bogue).
