Elevated travel experiences built around the sport you love.

Pickleball in Paradise

looks like this.

Where Luxury Meets the Court
Anchor in a secluded Croatian bay, where turquoise waters surround your luxury yacht. Play pickleball on Aretha’s floating court, kayak and paddleboard to hidden coves, or simply relax on deck with a chilled drink.

Each day brings a new island to explore — cobblestone streets, ancient fortresses, vibrant markets, and the charm of Croatia’s coast. Evenings are a Mediterranean feast, with gourmet meals prepared by top chefs.

Sport. Culture. Adventure. Indulgence. All in one unforgettable week.
