Highlights
We are a couple, John and Romy, passionate about travels, nature and people. In love with hosting and receiving guests on board. Romy, born and grown in the lovely town of Rovinj, deeply connected to the sea ever since. Daughter of a father with 6 decades of sailing experience, he thought her all the secrets of sailing and nowadays she is a professional skipper. João or better know as John, Brazilian, warm hearted and open minded man, who has followed the path of love and adventure. He has joined family tradition enthusiastically and made this dream come true. Nowadays John is the captain of sailingpulpa. The boat is handcrafted. Franco, Romy’s father, well known as Pulpa, started building the boat in 1990 as a hobby. He patiently and determinedly worked on the boat for 13 years until it's completion. Today, Pulpa is still well preserved and has been taken care with love and passion. What we offer is not just a tour, but it’s a unique and memorable experienc! @sailingpulpa

5Perfect Sailing Tour
Perfect Sailingtrip. We could jump into the sea, use a SUP, got very delicious tapas and Aperol Spritz. The team showed very warm hospitality! Sunset in the boat has been very beautiful and we even saw some dolphins 😊
5Fantastic sunset sailing experience
Excellent sailing experience during sunset, one of the best we’ve ever had thanks to the warm hospitality of Romi and Jo. Both of them made our family feel relaxed and at ease. Small touches like the bean bag at the front of the boat helped us to make the most of our time. The boat was perfectly positioned to capture the best of the stunning sunset, our family enjoyed the snorkelling stop and the snacks. Thank you Romi and Jo!
5Absolute highlight in Rovinj 😍
What an incredible afternoon sailing with João & Romy. 🤩 They were so friendly & helpful, took wonderful care of us, and we really enjoyed the chilled, relaxed atmosphere on their boat. It was a perfect day sailing, swimming in the crystal clear water, enjoying a few glasses of tasty wine & delicious Istrian tapas. João even took some stunning drone footage for us in this beautiful location. Sailing Pulpa was definitely the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend & I will definitely be back.
5Days sailing in Rovinj
Fantastic days sailing with Romy & Jo. The hosts are most welcoming and friendly, a days sailing around the beautiful coast line of Rovinj, taken time for a swim and enjoying the lovely taps and home made wine… the perfect day with our two teenage boys.. would recommend a trip with them.
5The Best Experience In Istria!
Without a doubt, the top experience we had while visiting Istria! Jo and Romy crafted the best day for our family. From coordination of boarding at the dock, to the sharing knowledge of the area and sailing, and finally, finding the perfect spots to swim and snorkel in the beautiful Adriatic, Jo and Romy are wonderful hosts. They felt like new friends! Their boat is beautiful and the local tapas they presented were delicious, including their family’s wine! Such a treat! Would highly, highly recommend this tour as it was small (just our family on the boat), personalized, and everything was so relaxing.
5A perfect day
Sailing with Jo and Romy was a highlight of our trip! We loved every part of it, from anchoring and snorkeling at an island, to the amazing Istrian tapas and their own production of local wine, to lounging in the bean bag on the bow while underway. Perfection.

About Rovinj
Rovinj is an Istrian fishing town on a small peninsula, with a hilltop church, Venetian-style houses and a coast of islets and pine forest.
Rovinj's old town stands on an oval peninsula, once an island, with narrow cobbled lanes winding up to the baroque church of St Euphemia, whose bell tower, modelled on St Mark's in Venice, rises above the sea. Pastel houses crowd around the harbour, and the Balbi Arch marks one of the old gates. Venice ruled the town for five centuries, and Italian remains in daily use beside Croatian.
