Top tip of 2024: Pickleball isn’t just staying - it’s thriving.
In fact, Pickleball is Croatia's 2026 Goldrush.

Aboard our mini-cruiser M/V Aretha, leading pickleball groups around Croatia yields a commission equal (or greater!) than 10 typical FIT commissions.

There are innumerable advantages to small, luxury group trips.

And the pickleball craze is the perfect connecting thread.

That's why we've decided to break down an actual pickleball itinerary for this Thursday's "Live from Croatia".

It’s the experience.

Island-hopping with Michelin-star chefs, exploring the flavors of Croatia.

These aren’t just trips - they’re opportunities your clients won’t find anywhere else.
