Experience the old-world charm of Croatia on a sailing adventure from Dubrovnik to Split. Spend eight days cruising around impressive coastlines, exploring national parks, wandering through medieval towns or rolling off the boat into warm, turquoise waters to swim.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

START TIME:
This trip starts on Day 1 in Dubrovnik at 3 pm and finishes on day 8 in Split at approx 9am

ACCOMMODATION ONBOARD THIS SAILING YACHT
This trip is accommodated entirely on board a 54ft monohull yacht. The following cabins are available to book on this yacht:
1 x triple bunk bed cabin
2 x twin bunk bed cabin
2 x double/twin cabin - bedding can be made up as either twin beds or one double bed.

If you are a couple and want a double bed, please book the double/twin cabin and let your sales agent know that you would like a double bed. Solo passengers can choose to book a triple bed cabin or a twin bed cabin and will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender. If you prefer your own cabin a single supplement can be applied to a twin cabin for an additional cost. Everyone including the skipper shares the bathrooms on board.

The yacht has 5 shared bathrooms. Our boats are real yachts, and this is a real sailing trip. Yachts are designed to keep sleeping areas to the absolute minimum of space, while maximising common areas as much as possible. While not everyone may feel entirely comfortable living in such close quarters, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort from cramped living conditions is more than made up for by the whole experience.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION:
Please note that the majority of our sailing trips start and/or finish at a marina or port. If you have pre-booked any additional accommodation through us, you will need to make your own way to the joining point on Day 1 and from the finish point on the final day. We do not provide transfers between hotels and the port/marina. Please check the 'Joining point instructions' and 'Finishing point' sections of the Essential Trip Information for details.

HOT WEATHER:
Summer temperatures can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius, which can be uncomfortable for those not used to the heat. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

PASSPORT DETAILS:
Please provide full passport details at time of booking including exact name as per passport, date of birth, nationality, issue and expiry dates as these are essential for booking services on this trip.

TRIP KITTY:
On this trip it's compulsory to contribute to a kitty of EUR100 per person. The kitty is an on-ground payment put into a central fund managed by travellers. It helps fund for breakfast and lunch on the boat and other small items such as ice, water, snacks and drinks. Travellers are responsible for the preparation of these meals onboard and to shop at port where supermarkets are often very close to the mooring. Kitty amounts are subject to change to reflect local price increases. On day 1, the skipper will talk through the kitty and how it will be managed (by yourself or fellow travellers) The kitty will be collected when you arrive at the welcome meeting or in stages throughout your trip.

Day 1: Dubrovnik to Elafiti Islands
Dobro Dosli! Welcome to Croatia. Your adventure begins in Dubrovnik with a group meeting at 3 pm. If you arrive early, why not take a self-paced walking tour of Dubrovnik – the undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast. With the sparkling water of the Adriatic in the background, this picturesque, medieval city is full of character and perfect for wandering around on two feet (especially if you’re a Game of Thrones fan). After your meeting, you’ll head to the local supermarket to buy supplies for your trip, then board the yacht and sail the open waters of the Adriatic to the Elafiti Islands. Elafiti is made up of three main islands – Kolocep (known as the green island due to its 100 year old pine groves, carol-trees, olive groves and citrus trees), Lopud (this island has spectacular parks and beaches and is one of the best developed touristic islands in the Dubrovnik area) and Sipan (the largest of the island group with a long history full of stories and legends, considered one of the jewels of the area).
Day 2: Elafiti Islands to Mljet
After breakfast onboard, set sail for the island of Mljet, stopping for a swim along the way. Legendary in ancient history as the island where the shipwrecked Odysseus lived for seven years, today the island is a haven of lush national park, forests and small villages. Since Greek sailors sought haven here from storms, the island has been inhabited by Illyrians, Romans, Slavs and Avars. In the 13th century the island was given to the Benedictine order who built a monastery in the middle of one of the island's western lakes – Veliko Jezero. When you arrive, perhaps rent a bike and cycle through the national park. Tonight, you could try the local wine – the fields and vineyards that dot the island are the foundation of the local economy, with Mljet's villagers producing wine and olive oil as they have been for hundreds of years.
Day 3: Mljet to Korcula
Sail north through the jewel-like waters to Korcula this morning via the Peljeski Channel. Stop along the way for a refreshing morning swim, then sail on. Greeks settled in Korcula in the 6th century BC, but the town was also occupied by the Romans, Slavs and then the Venetians between 1420 and 1797. Even Napoleon was ruler for a while! As a result of all these influences, Korcula has a cosmopolitan Old Town. Alongside the idyllic beaches, you’ll have plenty of options for your free time. Ask your leader for the best dinner recommendations for a good feed.
Day 4: Korcula to Hvar
Make breakfast onboard the yacht this morning and then set sail for the day. Make a stop around Lovista or Scedro for a morning swim and then settle in for an afternoon of beach hopping. Enjoy seafood fresh from the day's catch and kick back with cocktails on the waterfront as you sail around the scenic islands. You’ll make your way slowly to Hvar, where you can wander around the towns, home to some wonderfully preserved Renaissance facades. If you like, hike past dramatic jagged limestone cliffs and undulating farms, ancient olive groves and fields of rosemary and lavender. There’s also an option to cross the island by car to Hvar Town – often known as the ‘San Tropez of Croatia’.
Day 5: Hvar to Vis
Today, you’ll cruise on to Vis – the furthest island from the mainland. Stop at the Pakleni Islands or Stoncica along the way for a swim. When you arrive, you can take an optional tour to learn about the island’s history – passing between Greek, Roman, Venetian, Napoleonic, Austrian and Italian hands. Visit nuclear fallout shelters, churches and vantage points with great views across the ocean. If you like, you can also take an optional winery tour and indulge in a few glasses of the local vino.
Day 6: Vis to Solta
After breakfast, bid farewell to Vis and set sail to Solta – known for its scenic countryside and excellent olive oil. On the way, you might stop in for a swim in a nearby sheltered bay. When you arrive, maybe visit a family-run agrotourism estate in Maslinica. Sit down and enjoy a wine tasting paired with local food, while you learn about this village’s local agriculture.
Day 7: Solta to Trogir
This morning, you’ll sail to the island of Trogir, stopping at the Blue Lagoon for a swim along the way. Known for its scenery and turquoise-blue waters, it’s the perfect place for snorkelling. Then, continue to Trogir – a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its urban history shaped by Greek, Roman and Venetian influences. When you arrive, maybe explore the historic town centre or head out to dinner with your group and celebrate the last night of your sailing adventure.
Day 8: Trogir to Split
After breakfast aboard the yacht and transfer in a private van to Split (approx. 30 mins) where your trip will come to an end. This trip doesn’t spend any time in Split, so if you would like to stay longer, and it’s recommended that you do, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
