Portopiccolo divides opinion. Some people say it’s not a “real” Italian village because it was built from scratch. Maybe that’s true. But here’s the thing: when the evening sun paints the streets in golden light, children are playing in the square, people are laughing, glasses are clinking, and the aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the air… it suddenly doesn’t matter anymore. You can’t build atmosphere with concrete. Atmosphere is created by people. And this place has plenty

Some places have a way of slowing life down – and Piran is definitely one of them. With its narrow Venetian streets, the beautiful Tartini Square and its charming little harbour, this coastal town is one of the true gems of the Northern Adriatic. After a wonderful day under sail, starting with shifting winds and finishing with a relaxed 9-knot ride under Code Zero, we arrived in Piran in the late afternoon. Days like these remind us why we love sailing. To top it all off, we

Light wind days on a trimaran have a magic all of their own. With the Code Zero flying, we gently glide along on a 120° downwind course. Everything feels effortless, while a refreshing breeze still cools your skin. Relaxing in the shade on the trampoline, looking up at the sails and the deep blue sky, listening to the rhythm of the waves and feeling their gentle music – this is what true relaxation feels like. Everything is so light and graceful, like a ballerina dancing to t

Arrived this afternoon and took over the boat from my guests. The handover was smooth, honest, and completely hassle-free. After cleaning up, I enjoyed two hours of sailing with a good friend. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. We wrapped up the day with an amazing dinner at my favourite local restaurant—fresh mussels followed by oven-baked sea bass. Now we’re winding down with a glass of red wine, a gentle evening breeze, and perfect summer temperatures. Tomo

I’m out sailing solo today, enjoying a beautiful afternoon sea breeze of around 8–10 knots. The Dragonfly is happily cruising along at about 8 knots – the perfect conditions for relaxed summer sailing. On the horizon, hundreds of boats are anchored off the mouth of the Isonzo River. It’s easy to see why: sandy seabed, shallow crystal-clear water, a well-protected anchorage, and a refreshing cool breeze make this one of the locals’ favorite places to spend a sunny day. On a Su

With 0.0 knots of wind, even a Dragonfly Trimaran has to admit defeat. 😄 Sailing is only so much fun without any breeze, so I decided to use the opportunity to visit some of my berth neighbours and maintain a few local connections here in Portopiccolo. Since I have no guests on board today, I was invited aboard my neighbour’s impressive Dominator 65 – a classic Italian motor yacht with plenty of style and elegance. The shipyard was founded by former Formula One drivers, so s

After 3 days of trimaran training together, my guests are now sailing on their own along the coast of Istria. Light winds, crystal-clear water – and still relaxed but exciting sailing on the Dragonfly 28 Sport Trimaran “Don Cangrejo”. His conclusion today via video message:“Everything is fine, everything is great – only one problem: I want a boat like this too.” 😂 So be careful:⚠️ HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! ⚠️ A Dragonfly Trimaran is not just sailing.It’s speed without heeling. Freed

With only 5–6 knots of wind, we are already sailing at 7–8 knots with our new Ferrari-red Code Zero from Portopiccolo towards Piran. The trimaran glides silently across the mirror-flat Adriatic Sea – simply fantastic. These are the moments that become addictive.Light wind. Full performance. Pure freedom. If you would like to experience this yourself one day, just get in touch. #DragonflyTrimaran #CodeZero #FerrariRed #TrimaranSailing #Portopiccolo #Piran #SailingAdventures #A

Sailing from Grado to Trieste – light winds, flat water, perfect conditions to fine-tune everything. Sails up, reefing lines dialed in…and now the highlight: Code Zero / Reacher flying. That moment when there’s barely any wind –but the boat still accelerates. That’s what this trimaran is built for. Light wind? No problem. Experience? Guaranteed. 👉 Ready to feel it yourself? #trimaran #dragonfly #sailing #adriaticsea #performance #multihull #codezero #reacher #sailinglife #ad

Late October marks the end of our sailing season, and apparently the sky got the memo — today it’s shedding tears right along with us. On October 30th, it was haul-out day: boat lifted, sails and gear removed, mast taken down, tanks cleaned and emptied, batteries out, all perishables ashore. Winter cover on — and that’s it for 2025. A fantastic season is behind us — full of speed, light-wind magic, training sessions, great guests, and plenty of unforgettable Dragonfly moments

Today we’re leaving Portopiccolo for the last time this season. While we prepare for haul-out on Thursday, our sister ship Doña Cangreja enjoys one final trimaran training: Code Zero up, almost no wind – and still gliding like magic! 💨 Pure Dragonfly performance.
