Setting Sail on the Aquavision Glassboat

As a marine biologist, my travels often take me to the most stunning aquatic destinations, and Umag was no exception. The Aquavision Glassboat Katamaran promised an underwater sightseeing adventure that I couldn’t resist. Boarding the vessel, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming crew, their enthusiasm infectious as they prepared us for the journey ahead. The boat itself was a marvel, with its glass-bottom offering a unique window into the underwater world.

We set off from the port of Umag, the gentle hum of the engine blending with the sound of the waves. The sun was shining, casting a golden glow over the water, and the anticipation among the passengers was palpable. As we cruised towards Savudrija, the glass panels beneath our feet revealed a vibrant tapestry of marine life. Schools of fish darted playfully, their scales shimmering in the sunlight, while seaweed swayed gently with the current. It was a serene yet exhilarating experience, watching the underwater world unfold beneath us.

A Diver’s Delight

One of the highlights of the trip was the diving show, a unique feature that set this excursion apart. A skilled diver, part of the crew, donned his gear and slipped into the water, disappearing beneath the surface. Moments later, he re-emerged, bringing with him a collection of sea creatures that he carefully displayed for us. Sea urchins, crabs, and other fascinating marine life were presented with care, allowing us to observe their intricate details up close.

The diver’s knowledge and passion for the ocean were evident as he shared insights about each creature, speaking in multiple languages to accommodate the diverse group of passengers. It was a delightful educational experience, one that resonated deeply with my own love for marine biology. The interaction with the sea life was both thrilling and calming, a perfect blend of excitement and tranquility.

A Memorable Farewell

As we continued our journey, the crew shared stories and anecdotes, their camaraderie adding to the charm of the trip. Although we didn’t visit the Sipar underwater town, now an archaeological site, the journey was filled with enough wonder to leave us satisfied. The return trip to Umag was a time for reflection, the gentle rocking of the boat soothing as we took in the breathtaking coastal views.

For me, this adventure was more than just a sightseeing tour; it was a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the ocean, a testament to the wonders that lie beneath the surface. As we disembarked, I felt a sense of gratitude for the experience, a fitting end to my time in Umag. The Aquavision Glassboat Katamaran had delivered an unforgettable journey, one that I would highly recommend to fellow ocean enthusiasts and travelers alike.
