The route consists of the two 1 week flotillas joined together. Depending on your start date you will either go east first and then west, or vice versa.

In addition to Brac and Solta you will call at the islands of Kaprije,Zirje and Zlarin. You will also see the three “almost islands” at Tribunj, Murter and Rogonznica, all joined to the mainland by bridges.

You will get 3 days free sailing, where you can go where you wish. The Lead Crew will brief you on options. These include historic towns such as Split or Trogir, or smaller stops such as Zut, Smokvica or Piskera in the National Park.

So the flotilla offers an excellent variety of places to visit, from historic towns to small villages. It is intermediate sailing so best suited to those with a little previous experience though novices will manage.

East then West flotilla

Day	Miles	Destination
1: Sat	0	Check in. Sibenik The county town of Sibenik is the oldest Croatian town on the Adriatic coast (as opposed to the many settlements in Croatia founded by assorted invaders). It was once the country’s capital. This historic town retains many old buildings and alleys but also offers more current attractions. There are numerous festivals and events through the season to ... Read more
2: Sun	13	Muna (Zirje) Uvala Muna is the main port for the island of Zirje. Zirje is the outermost island of the Sibenik archipelago and as such, probably the least visited. Aside from the limited amount of tourism, the island is supported by its vines, figs and olive trees which are visible between the pines. A chance to see life ... Read more
3: Mon	30	Sesula (Solta) Sesula is a small narrow inlet at the west end of the island of Solta, just south of Maslinica. It’s a pretty spot and provides good shelter. It lacks a beach but you can swim off the boat. There’s a dive centre here where you can hire scuba gear. Sesula is made more popular by its proximity to Split and ... Read more
4: Tue	13	Free sailing. You could visit: Split The historical city of Split is Croatia’s second largest city, though with less than 200,000 inhabitants it’s pocket sized. The port is a hub for ferry services to outlying islands and Italy and the city is the cultural centre for the region, so there’s plenty to see and do. The Diocletians Palace at the centre of ... Read more or Trogir Trogir is not to be missed. A beautiful medieval town crammed with renaissance and Romanesque architecture, Trogir, oozes with an understated sophistication that will charm even the most jaded cynic. Moor your boat among the many other yachts than stop here and enjoy a night of revelry in surroundings of relaxed elegance. A World Heritage Site ... Read more or Hvar The capital of the sunniest island in the Adriatic, Hvar is rather schizophrenic. In high season it’s an aspiring St Tropez where the jet set can party the night away before recovering at one of the upmarket beach clubs. At quieter times its a historic cultural centre and a must see destination for your yacht charter. Hvar was ... Read more
5: Wed	10	Rogoznica Rogoznica is a charming and well protected harbour, marina and anchorage on what can be a very windy stretch of coastline. With its delightful old “island” village there is more to this town than first meets the eye. Pick up a buoy; drop the hook, back onto the quay or choose a marina berth, Rogoznica ... Read more
6: Thu	27	Bobovisca (Brac) Bobovisa sits at the head of a two armed bay. The main village is a little further inland and was founded by migrants from a single village in Bosnia in the 17th century. Bobovisca: Aerial view of the two limbs of the bay However, they evidently weren’t the first settlers. There are been a large number of ... Read more
7: Fri	13	Zlarin Known as the Coral Island, Zlarin is a lush island near the mouth of the Krk river. The island is clad with pine and cypress forests, figs and olives. You can walk peacefully along the 20km of roads as cars are prohibited. The red coral for which the island is famed is largely exhausted. However, there’s still ... Read more
8: Sat	19	Free sailing. I suggest Luka (Otok Vrgada) If you want to see what a Croatian fishing village looked like before the tourists came, Vrgada is probably pretty close. Uvala Luka is the small harbour of this fishing community on this small one village island. The island is covered with pine trees and has several pebbled beaches. Originally a fortress island (the ruins of the ... Read more Or head to: Luka (Zut) Zut is the second largest island in the Kornati archipelago, and the largest uninhabited island in Croatia. Most visitors arrive on yacht charters – the island has no ferry service. There are several anchorages around the island and a marina at Pod Ražanj, but most charter yachts head for the ACI Marina at Luka Zut, a ... Read more
9: Sun	16	Kaprije The small green island of Kaprije is named after the capers that once formed the mainstay of the economy. The island is car free so it’s wonderfully peaceful. The population numbers only about 150. Most live in the only the only village, also called Kaprije. In addition to the capers, the island has relied on fishing, grape cultivation and olive ... Read more
10: Mon	13	Murter / Hramina (Murter) For a town of 2000 people, Murter packs a lot in. It’s the capital of the island, and by reputation, of the Kornati National Park: The inhabitants supposedly own most of the islands! Murter has a host of shops and restaurants, as well as daily farmers and fish markets. With a number of churches, some Roman ruins, ... Read more
11: Tue	10	Free sailing. Lots of options including Smokvica The island of Smokvica is a popular stopping off point for those heading north in to the Kornati National Park. There’s no ferry service so it’s lucky you have a yacht! The large hill is worth a climb for the views from the top across the park. There’s just one bay, Lojena, on the south side. It’s ... Read more or Piskera / Panitula Vela Piskera is a small uninhabited island in the Kornati archipelago, inside the National Park. The Kornati Park is the high spot of many Croatia yacht charters. Bizarrely, Piskela Marina isn’t actually on Piskera but on the adjacent island of Panitula Vela. No matter, the latter is also a small uninhabited island so you won’t miss anything! The ... Read more

Aside from the limited amount of tourism, the island is supported by its vines, figs and olive trees which are visible between the pines. A chance to see life ... Read more
13: Thu	9	Tribunj Tribunj was once a small town on an island. The old town with its narrow streets and traditional stone buildings with colourful shutters remains the central attraction. However it is no longer an island, being linked to the mainland by a narrow bridge. And the defensive walls that once surrounded it are long gone. The old ... Read more
14: Fri	4	Zlarin Known as the Coral Island, Zlarin is a lush island near the mouth of the Krk river. The island is clad with pine and cypress forests, figs and olives. You can walk peacefully along the 20km of roads as cars are prohibited. The red coral for which the island is famed is largely exhausted. However, there’s still ... Read more

More about the flotilla

The flotilla’s base at Sibenik is between Split and Zadar Airports. Split is marginally closer (about 50 minutes drive away and has more flights from the UK. The flotilla price includes transfers from either airport. If you prefer a shorter transfer, I recommend the flotillas from Split.

The flotilla offers a modern fleet of monohull yachts from 33 feet up to 53 feet, offering 3 to 5 cabins. There is also a good selection of catamarans from 38 feet to 50 feet that will accommodate up to 14 people.
