Fish Picnic Excursion from Poreč to Rovinj — Kristofor Boat, Lim Fjord & Swim Stops
Set out from Poreč on the Kristofor for a seven-hour coastal day trip that pairs a romantic stroll through Rovinj with a lunch on deck and an afternoon at Lim Fjord. Swim, explore the Pirate Cave and see Istria’s coast from the sea.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early at the riva
Poreč’s main promenade can be busy; arrive 20–30 minutes early to find the meeting point and board calmly.
Bring water and sunscreen
Sun reflects off the sea—carry a refillable bottle and reef-friendly sunscreen to stay comfortable all day.
Wear water shoes
Landings at rocky coves and the Pirate Cave are easier with protective soles for scrambling and wet surfaces.
Motion-sickness prep
If you get queasy, take medication before boarding and sit mid-ship where motion is gentlest.
