Day One
Arrive in Dubrovnik and board your yacht near one of the Adriatic’s most iconic historic cities. Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik offers a striking first impression with its medieval walls, terracotta rooftops, and fortress-lined coastline. After embarkation, enjoy a short coastal cruise for views of the old town from the water. Overnight at anchor nearby or in marina, depending on preference.
Day Two
Cruise north toward Mljet, one of Croatia’s greenest and most peaceful islands. The island is known for its national park, saltwater lakes, forested landscapes, and quiet bays. Spend the afternoon hiking, cycling, kayaking, or visiting the Benedictine monastery set on a small islet in the Great Lake. Overnight in a sheltered anchorage surrounded by calm natural scenery.
Day Three
Sail toward Korčula, a picturesque island known for vineyards, olive groves, and a beautifully preserved medieval old town. Arriving by yacht reveals its fortified harbour and narrow stone streets rising from the waterfront. Spend time ashore exploring St. Mark’s Cathedral, local boutiques, and the island’s cultural heritage. Evening is ideal for dining ashore or enjoying a quiet anchorage nearby.
Day Four
Continue to Hvar, one of Croatia’s most glamorous and lively island destinations. The island combines elegant waterfront energy with secluded beaches, hidden coves, and scenic inland landscapes. Spend the afternoon exploring Hvar Town, relaxing at a beach club, or cruising nearby bays for swimming. Overnight at anchor or near the harbour, with the island’s evening atmosphere close by.
Day Five
Cruise to Vis, a more remote and understated island known for rugged coastline, secluded bays, and a slower pace. The island offers a more off-the-beaten-path experience, ideal for guests looking for nature, clear water, and quiet anchorages. Spend the day exploring hidden caves, swimming off pristine beaches, or enjoying fresh local seafood ashore. Overnight in a peaceful bay or near Vis harbour.
Day Six
Sail toward Split, one of Croatia’s most important coastal cities and a strong cultural stop along the route. The old town is centred around Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO-listed landmark filled with narrow streets, courtyards, cafes, and historic architecture. Guests can also visit Marjan Hill for panoramic views over the city and Adriatic Sea. Overnight in marina or a nearby anchorage depending on the desired pace.
Day Seven
Cruise toward Šibenik, a historic city set along a picturesque bay and known for its UNESCO-listed cathedral. Spend time exploring the old town’s winding streets, stone architecture, and quiet alleyways before continuing toward the Kornati Islands. This archipelago is one of Croatia’s great sailing regions, with clear water, remote islets, and countless coves for anchoring. Overnight among the Kornati Islands for a peaceful final night at sea.
Day Eight
Enjoy a final morning cruise toward Zadar, with breakfast onboard and views of the northern Adriatic coastline. Arrive in a city known for its blend of Roman ruins, medieval churches, and contemporary waterfront installations. Guests may visit the Sea Organ, Sun Salutation, or enjoy a final walk through the historic centre before disembarkation. The itinerary concludes with a smooth arrival and easy onward travel.
