With NAVI Croatia, discover hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters, and indulge in authentic Dalmatian cuisine while sailing through some of the most picturesque landscapes in Croatia. Whether you're exploring ancient towns, tasting world-class wines, or simply soaking up the sun on your private deck, every moment is designed to be extraordinary.
Let the adventure begin—your Dalmatian dream awaits.
Day 1: Split - Brač Island, 10 NM
Take some time to stroll through Diocletian's palace before checking into your boat charter in the Split Marina. The marina and sea are beautifully visible from the boardwalk, where you should definitely stop for a while and have coffee.
The island of Brač is your first stop after leaving Split.
You can spend the night in Brač in either the Bay of Bobovišća. Buoys and a community with a small jetty can be seen in the serene Bay of Bobovišća. Additionally, the bay is well protected from the wind.
or Milna, which is a fishing community that sets itself apart by its distinctive stone homes.
Don’t forget to visit Zlatni Rat, one of Croatia’s most beautiful beaches.
Day 2: Brač - Vis Island, 20 NM
After a good night’s sleep, sail out towards Komiža, a charming bay on the western coast of Vis.
You can travel to Gusarica or the Bajcizevo, both of which are a little further out, if you want to go swimming. If you are interested in some traditional delicacies, try the taverns Barba and BAKO.
Moorings are available on the harbour quay and buoys in front of the village. If strong wind appears during your sailing, we suggest Vis, as it has more moorings than Komiža.
Day 3: Vis—Lavovo Island, 35 NM
Head south from Vis to reach the beautiful island of Lastovo. You may choose between spending the evening in Zaklopatica, a beautiful bay surrounded by trees,
or a small private marina in Skrivena Luka, where you can also enjoy local delicacies in the adjacent restaurant. Zaklopatica also has restaurants available where you can moor and enjoy local dishes.
Lastovo and its surrounding islets are a great location to sightsee and try to grasp why the Romans once called this island ‘The Imperial Island’. Hiking and cycling, or just swimming in the crystal-clear sea, are a few of the activities you can do during your stay on Lastovo.
Day 4: Lastovo - Korčula Island, 20 NM
Known throughout history as ‘Korkyra Melaina’ by ancient Greeks and Romans, this island full of history, art, and architecture is well worth exploring.
ACI Marina is located on the eastern side of the island, as well as the town bearing the same name as the island. If you would prefer to anchor elsewhere, the north coast of the island has many bays where you can anchor.
Explore the natural beauty of Korčula and try the local seafood delicacies and wine.
Day 5: Korčula - Hvar Island, 32 NM
Sail out toward Hvar and Marina Palmižana, located on a small island close to Hvar, from where you can easily take a water taxi and visit the main island. The water taxi runs until 11 pm.
If you would prefer something else, you can take anchor in the Vinogradišče bay or find other places to moor or anchor in the Pakleni Islands, also very close to Hvar.
Known as the sunniest island in Croatia, Hvar is easy to remember by the following three things: parties, wine, and lavender. Hvar is worth traversing on foot and enjoying the lavender fields, olive groves, and all the fragrant aromatic herbs that grow there.
For a family-orientated vacation, you may choose to have a great day on any of Hvar’s beautiful beaches.
Day 6: Hvar - Stari Grad (Hvar Island), 15 NM
Stari Grad is located on the western coast of the island of Hvar. The bay is shaped like a funnel, with forests flanking each side.
Moor your yacht in front of the town hall and have a stroll through the delightful, mediaeval city centre. Taverns in this quiet little town offer local cuisine and lovely red wine.
The southern part of Stari Grad was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2008, which might be of interest for history aficionados. Whether you spend the day exploring ancient Greek ruins or lounging away on the beach, Stari Grad will be a great place to rest and relax before returning to Split.
Day 7: Stari Grad - Split , 24 NM
Enjoy the sight of the Dalmatian coast on your journey back to Split and consider taking one last dip before returning your charter to the marina. After disembarking, if you have the time, enjoy a good, hearty meal and recount your memories of sailing through the Adriatic.
Farewell, until we sail together again.
