Day 1   Split - Veli Drvenik

Our cruise along the stunning Adriatic coast begins at 3 p.m. by boarding the vessel, meeting the crew and inspecting the yacht that shall become our home for the next couple of days. We will sail off at daylight so that we can enjoy the first sunset above the Adriatic from our yacht. After dusk, we will drop the anchor at the pier in the small town Drvenik on the island Veli Drvenik where we will spend the first night on board. We will have dinner at a traditional Dalmatian konoba, try the local dessert wine Prosek and the liqueur Pelinkovac. We will be met with a great welcome - Croatian hospitality is warm and genuine and makes you extend our visit beyond closing time.

Day 2   Veli Drvenik - Hvar

On the second day of our cruise, we will be heading south, towards the island Hvar. We will make a stop at one of the breathtaking bays of Solta island for swimming, snorkelling with underwater scooters and sunbathing. After a delicious lunch, we continue our sailing towards our goal, the town Hvar on the island Hvar. It is one of the prettiest and most visited towns in the whole Adriatic. The beauty of its historic buildings, its narrow streets and gorgeous atmosphere are renowned in the sailing community and among tourists. Upon anchoring, we will take a stroll in the town, explore the fortress overlooking the harbour, enjoy the splendid view from the top of Hvar and sample the rich creamy Croatian ice cream. After a short relaxation on board and a fine dinner, we can return to the romantic city centre with its with numerous cafes and cocktail bars where the entertainment can be as low key or as lively as you like.

Day 3   Hvar - Vis

If we are not too exhausted from the nightlife in Hvar, we can start sailing to the island Vis.
However, first we shall moor up at one of the coves of the Pakleni archipelago and enjoy a couple of hours at the sea and lying in the sun. Then the cruise continues towards the west coast of Vis, to the picturesque rural fishing village Komiza. An evening stroll in the town and on the pier with its traditional restaurants will certainly amplify our good mood and superb impressions of this charming place.

Day 4   Vis - Bisevo - Vis

On this day, we shall explore the surrounding nature. After breakfast we will sail to the magnificent Plava Spilja (Blue cave) and see the hidden and less known Medvedja spilja as well. We can take a walk on the interesting Bisevo island and enjoy the stunning view from its top. Afterwards we will head back towards the Vis island with its amazing Stiniva cove and Green cave. We will see the sun set from the pier of Vis which, like the island of the same name, was closed to visitors for decades because the Yugoslavian navy had established its base there. A stroll in the city and a glass of the Prosek wine will conclude this demanding and pleasant sailing day.

Day 5   Vis - Sv. Klement

Leaving Vis, we will head towards the Sv. Klement island. This day´s goal is not far away and thus we may slow down, enjoy swimming, sunbathing and fishing. In the afternoon we arrive in the breathtaking cove of Sv. Klement and relax. In late afternoon we will sail to the Palmizana marina and spend the night there, fill the water tank, play the traditional petangue and visit Hvar again, if you like.

Day 6   Sv. Klement - Brac

From Sv. Klement the sailing continues towards the beautiful Zlatni rat (Golden horn) with its pebble beach, at the island Brac - Bol. Zlatni rat can be seen on almost each and every Croatia postcard and definitely must be visited when sailing in these waters. We will make stops for swimming, snorkelling with underwater scooters, sunbathing and fishing. Leaving Zlatni rat, we will turn north-west, sail through the channel Splitska vrata and anchor in the magnificent harbour Milna on Brac. With its promenade on the seashore, with restaurants and coffee bars, this picturesque small town is an ideal place to spend the night.

Day 7   Brac - Split

The final point of our cruise, our base, is within our reach, thus we shall proceed in a very relaxed fashion and spend plenty of time having great time on board and at the sea swimming, snorkelling with underwater scooter, (spear)fishing and sunbathing.  Having left the ship in the marina, in the evening the pleasure continues as we take a walk in the ancient centre of Split. Be sure that this charming place and its ancient atmosphere will take your breath away. Centuries-old narrow stone streets, history present on each step and nice cafes of Split will mark the end of our sailing trip in one of the most beautiful holiday regions worldwide.
