This is my most ambitious and recognized expedition.
The idea was born in 2015: to reach all 19th-century lighthouses along the Croatian coast by sea kayak. Due to work commitments, the expedition had to take place in winter—adding significant complexity due to unpredictable weather in the Adriatic.
The project was completed in three stages:
Dalmatia Expedition
A 57-day solo journey covering 1,070 km, with 16 days spent waiting out severe weather conditions.
Istria & Kvarner Expedition
480 km paddled over 24 days, exploring the northern Adriatic coastline.
Palagruža expedition
The final and most demanding stage—a 300 km open-sea journey to Palagruža, the most isolated island in Croatia.The highlight was a 60 km open-water crossing toward Lastovo, completed in 9.5 hours without leaving the kayak—my personal endurance record.
