The flotilla visits the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta (with the option to add Drvenik Veli during free sailing). You will also see the two “almost islands” at Primosten and Rogonznica, both joined to the mainland by causeways. At Skradin you can visit the Krka National Park with it’s superb waterfalls.

| Day | Miles | Destination |
| 1: Sat | 0 | Check in. - 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
|
| 2: Sun | 14 | - 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.

| 3: Mon | 20 | - Primosten
A small holiday town centred on an island now connected to the mainland by a causeway. The walls that once surrounded the old town have long gone, bar the gate through which one enters the main square.
The square provides an excellent place for various events through the summer but is a bit over restored for ... Read more
|
| 4: Tue | 20 | - Skradin / Krka River / Krk National Park
Skradin: The waterfalls in the Krka National Park
It’s worth a visit to Skradin just to sail up the river, but once there, a trip in to the Krk National Park is a must. After mooring your yacht, a short ferry boat ride takes you to the park entrance from where you can walk up to ... Read more
|
| 5: Wed | 24 | - 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 | 15 | Free sailing. Why not try: - Maslinica (Solta)
This little fishing village is a lovely spot and you can still get fish fresh off the boat. The inlet at Maslinica looks out over the little archipelago at it’s mouth and the hills are dotted with pines and olive groves.
Other than fellow yacht charter crews, there are few tourists as Maslinica has no ferry service. ... Read more
Or- Drvenik Veliki / Luka Drvenik (Drvenik Veli)
Drvenik Veliki is a great place to relax, at one with nature on this rugged island. It’s the only town on the island but the population is less than 200. The island’s economy depends on fishing, olives and, you guessed it, tourism. But this is no swinging holiday resort.
Take a stroll though the olive groves ... Read more
|
| 7: Fri | 23 | Free sailing. I suggest- Bol (Brac)
The oldest town on Brac, Bol sits at the foot of the highest mountain in the Adriatic islands, Mt. Vidova Gora. The area is rich in history but the main draw is Zlatni Rat beach.
This V-shaped pebble and sand beach sticks out to sea – the name means Golden Horn. It’s about a kilometre west of the ... Read more
Or head down to: |
| 8: Sat | 7 | Free sailing: How about: - Vrboska (Hvar)
This fishing village is known as “Little Venice” due to the canal with it’s low bridges that winds through the centre. For added authenticity, the Venetians actually invaded and left behind some appropriate buildings!
Vrboska is at the head of an inlet surrounded by slopes clad in pines, olive groves and vineyards.
The village boomed in the ... 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
|
| 9: Sun | 20 | - Milna (Brac)
The Russians based their fleet here during the Napoleonic wars, in the days before half the harbour in the centre of town was turned in to a marina. Which was probably the most excitement the place has seen.
Described in one review as a great place to relax on account of there being nothing to do, ... Read more
|
| 10: Mon | 13 | - Palmizana and the Pakleni Islands
Many yachts use Palmizana and the many nearby anchorages around the Pakleni Islands as a means to visit Hvar without doing battle in it’s busy harbour. Despite its alternative name, Hell’s Islands, it’s a beautiful spot.
A water taxi service from Palmizana makes this a much more relaxing way to see Hvar. The water taxis return ... Read more
|
| 11: Tue | 14 | - Vis Town / Viska Luka (Vis)
Vis is an island of contrasts. The more prosperous town of Vis languishes on the north eastern coast facing the its upmarket rival Hvar, while the hardworking fishing town of Komiza occupies the western end of the island.
Vis has seen more than its fair share of conflict. Since 3000BC Vis has played host to every ... Read more

| 12: Wed | 22 | |
| 13: Thu | 20 | Free sailing. Why not try:- Sumartin (Brac)
This small sleepy fishing village is a pleasant contrast to some of the more touristy places in Dalmatia. It’s a popular retreat for Croatians with second homes who appreciate the calm.
There’s not much here which is really the main attraction. There are a couple of pebbled beaches within about 20 minutes walk of the centre, ... Read more
or- Supetar (Brac)
The main habitation of Brac and gateway to the rest of island, Supetar is a bustling traditional town. With plenty of alleys to explore, galleries to view, wine cellars to visit and restaurants to sample it’s a fairly typical Croatian coastal town.
There are no great architectural sites – nobody seems to have been that bothered ... Read more

| 8: Sat | 18 | Free sailing. I suggest- Uvala Drvenik / Krknjas (Drvenik Veli)
Pretty little Uvala Drvenik (aka Uvala Krknjas) on Drvenik Island lies west of Trogir and Split. This luminescent turquoise bay is locally known as The Blue Lagoon and is an extremely popular place to anchor up for lunch, a swim stop or for a last night anchorage before returning your charter yacht to Trogir, Marina ...
