Zadar recently welcomed some very special guests – the Croatian National Handball Team, who chose to spend their free time at sea on a BOATUM tour. This experience once again highlights Zadar not only as a sports destination, but also as the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.
When Sports Meet the Sea
After intense training sessions and matches, top athletes need quality time to recharge. That’s exactly why the Croatian handball players decided to escape the usual routine and spend a few hours on the sea.
The atmosphere on board was relaxed, filled with laughter and great energy. While we’re used to seeing them on the court, this time they showed a different side – a team that knows how to enjoy simple yet meaningful moments together.
A Memorable Day for the Team
During the trip, the players took the opportunity to unwind, swim, and create memories beyond the handball court. Moments like these are often key to strengthening team spirit and building even stronger connections.
We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the team on winning third place at the European competition – a fantastic achievement that once again proves their dedication, teamwork, and excellence.
For the boatum team, hosting national sports heroes was a truly special experience and a great honor.
Captain for a Day
One of the highlights of the day was when team captain Ivan Martinović stepped into the role of a boat captain. With a big smile and great energy, he showed that his skills go beyond the handball court – this time confidently taking the helm instead of leading on the court.

Why Zadar?
Zadar and its surrounding islands have become a favorite destination for athletes, celebrities, and travelers from around the world. The combination of crystal-clear sea, beautiful islands, and authentic Mediterranean atmosphere makes it the perfect escape.
More Than Just a Tour
This day with the Croatian National Handball Team proves that a boat trip can be much more than just time on the water. It’s about connection, relaxation, and creating memories that last long after returning to shore.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your next experience in Zadar, BOATUM is here to provide exactly that.
