The flow is simple and deliberate: meet at the waterfront, step aboard a traditional wooden boat, and let the skipper take you along the Zadar waterfront as the sun sets. You move slowly enough to hear the Sea Organ and to study the light and surfaces of the city; the pace invites relaxed conversation, quiet observation and the occasional clink of a wine glass.
