Sterntalerhof Siblings Sailing Week in Croatia
A special time on the water
Sometimes, just a few days on the water are enough to restore your energy. For the siblings of seriously ill children, time spent sailing with Sterntalerhof means exactly that: stepping away from everyday life and into lightness, togetherness, and carefree moments.
The Siblings Week in Croatia, offering hope
Siblings Week gives these children a truly special break: a few days dedicated entirely to them, far away from worries and the demands of daily life.
They are at the heart of the experience, with time to laugh, play, sail, and enjoy carefree moments on the water. Sharing this time with other children facing similar circumstances brings strength and the reassuring feeling that they are not alone.
Sailing that strengthens
Thanks to the dedication of the Sterntalerhof team, Siblings Week 2024 and 2025 have already been successfully held in Croatia, both ashore and at sea.

Support us now
To ensure that Siblings Week can once again take place carefree on 04 July 2026, support is needed. The journey to Croatia for 12 children and the support team, accommodation, meals, excursions, and the shared sailing adventure naturally involve considerable costs.
We are pleased to contribute by providing the yachts and spending money for the children. Please join us in helping to make this valuable time for siblings on the water possible.

Your Pitter Yachtcharter Team
The Siblings Sailing Week is a special retreat for the siblings of children with serious or life limiting illnesses or disabilities. During this sailing week in Croatia, the focus is on togetherness, joy, and carefree experiences.
In everyday life, siblings of seriously ill children often take on a great deal of responsibility and put their own needs aside. The sailing week gives them attention, emotional support, and valuable shared experiences with other children in similar situations.
The sailing week takes place in Croatia, one of the Mediterranean’s most popular sailing destinations, known for its stunning coastline, islands, and sheltered bays. The combination of nature, sea, and shared activities creates the ideal setting for relaxation and renewed strength.
Siblings Week is organised by Sterntalerhof together with committed partners such as Pitter Yachtcharter. The aim is to give the children a safe, caring, and memorable week on the water.
Pitter Yachtcharter is actively committed to environmental and social responsibility and supports various initiatives related to children, marine conservation, and sustainable tourism. The Siblings Sailing Week is part of this wider social commitment.
