Day	Miles	Destination
1: Sat	0	Embark ACI Marina in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik Dubrovnik is arguably one of the prettiest towns you will visit in Croatia but be warned it is overrun with tourists in July and August at which time the old town can be a very sweaty and aggravating place indeed! Given a choice I would recommend an early or late season flotilla or bareboat charter if this is all you have come ... Read more
2: Sun	14	Welcome Punch Party at: Sipanska Luka (Sipan) Sipanska Luka has an up and coming feel to it. Located on Sipan, the largest of the Elafiti or Deer Islands, Sipanska was once popular with the gentry of Dubrovnik and is now enjoying a renaissance. However, charter yachts should come prepared – facilities are still limited. The first thing you will notice on your left as you ... Read more
3: Mon	22	Polace (Mljet) Polace is the main hub for yachts entering the stunning Mljet National Park on the northern end of Mljet Island. It is a fantastically well sheltered bay (the best on the island) and is utterly charming with is tiny village and heavily treed backdrop. Polace also comes complete with the ruins of an ancient roman palace ... Read more
4: Tue	15	Korcula Luka (Korcula) The Corfu of Southern Dalmatia, Korcula shares the same name in ancient Greek; Korkyra Melaina. Heavily wooded and lush, the beautiful Island is indeed reminiscent of the Ionian Corfu. Korcula town is a fantastic place so make sure it is on your list of places to visit on your yacht charter. However, don’t expect to be ... Read more
5: Wed	22	Skrivena Luka (Lastovo) Skrivena Luka or Hidden Port is a magical spot on a wonderful island. With its narrow doglegged entrance, this bay affords total protection for yachts of all sizes from rough seas and provides excellent holding in silty sand. There is also a fantastic small “marina” with one pontoon (Porto Rosso) located on the western side of the ... Read more
6: Thu	23	Free Sailing. Why not try; Saplunara (Mljet) Saplunara is a pleasant, well sheltered bay on the southwest corner of Mljet Island. Its excellent beach and wooded backdrop makes it popular with charter yachts. Once upon a time this was a bit of a backwater but times are changing here and now there are several restaurants, each with their associated buoy fields. The “village” doesn’t have ... Read more or Okuklje (Mljet) Okuklje itself is not spectacular, rather, it is small, quiet and friendly. But the number and variety of restaurants make up for the lack of grand mansions and fancy nightlife, making it a great place to chill out on your yacht charter. It reminds me of Turkey – the quays are owned by the restaurants. As soon as ... Read more
