We are a freediving flotilla sailing and freediving the most beautiful Croatian archipelagos
Join us and let’s live the dream together!
By being kind, caring and open in communication we create our little universe filled with love and kindness. We laugh and cry, we hug and smile, we live the dream ❤️
We dedicate one afternoon to show the ocean how much we love it 💙 Best way we could think of is a simple and fun cleanup comp. Crew with the most trash collected wins!
Sailboats are for sailing, right? Therefore, we use the sails as much as possible. And how about food? We source the veggies from our organic garden 🍅🥬🍓
5 open water sessions
Max 3 divers per buoy
Access to 50m+ every day
Freediving instructor on-board
We will dive at least one wreck so get ready for an up-close encounter with moray eels, conger eels and other residents
Depth: 8 – 34 meters
There are several caves on our route including the famous Blue cave on Bisevo island. Get ready to make some really cool shots!
How about some yoga by the sea with the sound of waves? As a yoga teacher on-board, Ana will share body & mind relaxation practices with us
Did somebody say PB cake?
After the first freediving session, Ante will do a workshop on freediving techniques and give us tips to go deeper
It’s been a countless dreamlike moments since our first cruise in 2021. This year, we’re excited to create something special with you!
In August we will be hosting our first ever freediving flotilla, meaning we will have more sailboats sailing at the same time. Think of even more dream-living freedivers, trading PB pancakes, having family meals in cute little island towns and even an underwater foraging comp 😎

We have our 5m RIB boat with us (click here for photos) with enough diving setups and a 3 liter oxygen tank. The boat has 60HP engine and easily takes us to our freediving sessions and grocery shopping.
On each cruise, we will be sailing on average 3 hours per day. We will wake up every morning in a new bay, dive in a different spot, sail to the next bay and have a unique sunset experience. Cabins are shared and same-sex and we only use the cabin berths (not the additional 2 in the salon) so we’re all comfy.
Our lovely garden provides enough food for all our cruises and for ourselves throughout the year.
It’s located in Marjan Forest Park in Split so you can join the harvest right before the cruise!
Ana and her helpers always come up with the most creative and delicious meals.
Seems there is not enough Michelin stars to measure this floating restaurant experience 🙂
Hi, we’re Ana & Ante, born and raised near the sea. As a boy, Ante fell in love with freediving and sailing for they both give him a sense of freedom and stillness at the same time. The moment of entering freefall feels similar to the moment when the engine goes off and the wind starts to do its magic.
Ana has always been connected with nature and the silence it offers, from hiking in the mountains to diving in the great blue. It is the search for serenity and peace that brought her to fall in love with freediving.
We love sharing and connecting with life-living people. We also love the concept of enoughism and believe that, once we satisfy our basic needs, those special life-sparking moments are something to live for.
We feel that success is to have enough… be it financially, in a relationship or in any other aspect of life.
Josip Kir Hromatko2024-02-28The first time I heard about Ante and Ana's cruises, I was pretty sure I would enjoy it... and it turned out to be one of the best holidays I could ever imagine! The detailed preparation and logistics, perfect freediving and spearfishing spots, dynamic sailing and relaxing sunsets, great food and amazing company - these cruises have it all :) I would definitely recommend it to all sea lovers and I'm really looking forward to all the good times ahead!Piet Dinkela2024-02-2811/10 would do it again <3 much love Went there at one of the first cruises they did and i was really an great experience, solid teamwork and a really lovely crew included.Juliette Lelchuk2024-02-22I can't say enough good things about my experience on the cruise in 2023. Ante and Ana are just awesome human beings, and everyone on the crew in our departure was lovely. I am a beginner freediver, and everyone was super encouraging and helpful. Of course Croatia is gorgeous (especially by boat!), and we ate delicious food both onboard and a couple of times on land. This was in many ways a life-changing week for me. The camaraderie of our group was truly special, and I absolutely plan to be back in the future ❤️Uwe Köhler2024-02-16I took part twice in 2022 and 2023. The cruises are just the right combination of sailing and free diving for me. Ana and Ante are also very nice guide with lots of local knowledge and connections. That does make the cruises ever so much better. Everybody helping on board build a good community and allows to learn a lot. Freediving is the best combination of line dives and fun dives. Also, the food was excellent.bartek jeske2024-02-12It's more like a family get-together than a cruise! Ante and Ana put their hearts into getting people together, planning, cooking, and making sure that everybody feels welcomed and comfortable. There is a great balance of freediving and in-land activities. For those who like to wake up before the sun, spearfishing is also an option...but don't panic if you prefer to sleep-in, Ante is a passionate spearo and there will be enough fresh and yummy fish for you. We also spent some time cleaning the bottom of the ocean, we removed tens of kilograms of rubbish, and it gave us a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and achievement. Highly recommended!Malte “M”2024-02-06I had a great time. Already the second time. Ana and Ante were wonderful hosts. Always met very nice and kind people Delicious and healthy food. Highly recommended:-)Nazar Grabovsky2024-01-31Been on this cruise 3 times and want more! Ante and Ana do amazing job getting people together, share the amazing experience of sailing, cooking and freediving in beautiful Croatian sea among islands and hidden spots which they know very well. After the trip I end up having not only beautiful pics and memories, but new friends across the world. Definitely recommendLaurel Lozzi2024-01-27I had a great time with Freediver's Dream. It was a true freediving vacation, spending a week sailing and diving everyday. Our trip was both structured and flowing, with as much down time and social time as I wanted. Ante & Ana are great, very warm and hospitable as well as fun and deep people. Everyone on the boat was truly wonderful to be around. Hopefully I'll join in again!Grzegorz Lupina2024-01-24A dream? I admit I had some doubts when booking a spot on a cruise organized by Ana and Ante in August 2023: a week on a boat with people I’ve never met before? what about my freediving skills? I booked it. And it turned out to be one of the best adventures I’ve ever had. Ana and Ante have been organizing this kind of cruises for some years now. They share their stories, passion, knowledge, and even veggies from their garden with you; they show you secret spots, guide you to your PB, make an extra mile to create a unique memory for the crew (awesome!! - you cannot buy it, but it’s all included in their definition of sharing). I felt safe, connected, and alive. And left inspired. So yes, pretty much close to a dream for me 🙂Theresa2024-01-21"Freedivers Dream Cruise" is a real dream for people who like sailing, freediving, Croatia, good food and nice people! It was my first time ever sailing and also the start into freediving and it couldn't be any better;) Huge Hvala to Ana and Ante for organising this 🩵🐠🪼
How does our typical day look like?
And how about the food?
We will do bulk food buying before check-in. To maintain a good flow of the daily activities, Ana and our hosts on the other boats are happy to prepare 2 vegetarian meals per day for all of us. They will need two helpers per meal for food preparation and two helpers to clean up after the meal so the whole crew take turns. Please note that this cruise is not vegetarian-only as some of us will be spearfishing so the catch will be prepared on-board.
On top of this, we provide:
We are happy to see you here… Living the dream isn’t that far away!
Just one more thing, in order to keep everyone safe it’s required that you’ve completed a basic freediving course that covers safety and rescue techniques. If you haven’t completed any courses yet, get in touch with us and we can organize a course right before the cruise or direct you to your local freediving center.
Get in touch by filling out the form below and let’s create something exceptional together!
We are a freediving flotilla that connects and inspires freediving friends to live the dream.
