Some experiences energise you, others stay in your memory forever. Our cycling around the Croatian islands was both. Every day new challenges, new routes, new views and countless moments that have brought us together as a true cycling family.

Day 1 – Brac

We started our Onelife cycling adventure in the morning and rode to the mouth of the Cetinje River. At At 12 noon we boarded the boat in Omiš, full of anticipation and a little impatience. When we are at At 13:00 we set sail for the first island – Brač – and the real adventure could begin. The first cycling stage through beautiful Brač took us through a beautiful landscape surrounded by fig trees, rosemary and ancient olive trees. The very first day showed us that we were in for something special – a ride where it’s not just the kilometre that counts, but every smell, the view and the feeling of freedom.

2. and Day 3 – Korcula, stage challenge and cinematic views

On the second day, the longest stage of our Onelife cycling adventure awaited us. From Oliver Dragojević’s birthplace, Vele Luka, we set off on a new cycling tour. We drove past vineyards and the idyllic village of Chara, where time seems to pass more slowly. The highlight of the day was the view of the Pupnatska Luka – a scene that could easily belong in a movie. A group selfie was a must here. In the evening, a well-deserved dinner awaited us in Korcula, and it was especially sweet after the climbs and descents.

Day 4 – Hvar, lavender, views and the top of St.Nikola

The route on Hvar took us via Stari Grad to Jelsa. For the most persistent ones, of course, the climb to the top of Sv.Nikola was a must – the prize at the top was the most beautiful view of the whole of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands.

Day 5 – Return to Split

On the last day, we returned to Omiš with smiles and a touch of nostalgia. Each of us took with us more than just the kilometres we cycled – we took with us memories, new friendships, a sense of triumph over ourselves and that pleasant tiredness that everyone who has ever cycled knows.

It all started on Saturday at Marina Baotič, where we opened the event with a get-to-know-you party and a musical surprise – saxophonist Vili. An epic moment – when you see how people who don’t know each other yet, in a few hours, connect, relax and start creating a common story.

The very next day we set sail for Hvar and then on to the Pakleni Islands. A fleet of ten boats on the high seas was a scene that made even the organiser hold his breath for a moment. Despite the less than ideal weather conditions, the sailing was relaxed, safe and in a great atmosphere – from swimming in the sea, socialising and that true sailing freedom that keeps us coming back to the sea again and again.

Evenings were a special chapter of this year’s sailing. The musical entertainment with a saxophonist added a soul of its own to each bay. The sound of the saxophone, the anchored sailboats, the warm sea and the smiling faces – those scenes you can’t stage, you can only experience.

The Golden Swan competition also brought a lot of positive competitive spirit. The crews showed ingenuity, togetherness and a lot of humour. Exactly what we want at our events – relaxed, playful and bonding.

The wine accompaniment of the evenings was provided by selected wines from the Brda Cellar, which added the icing on the cake to the whole experience. Of course, excellent culinary evenings were also provided throughout the event, and this year’s speciality was definitely the freshly prepared paella, on board the catamaran, for the entire ONE LIFE crew.

We are grateful for the trust, for the energy of the people, for the crews who brought with them openness, warmth and good humour. Sailing 2025 showed us once again why we do it.

And we already know – next year we’ll go even further.
