About this trip
Eight days sailing the Dalmatian coast between Dubrovnik and Split, spending your days on deck, in the water, or wandering medieval old towns along the way.
The route mixes coastline cruising with stops in national parks and small island marinas, with plenty of chances to swim straight off the boat into clear water.
Evenings lean into Croatia's restaurant and bar culture, with fresh seafood, regional wine, and coastal views to go with them.
What you'll do
- Sail the coastline between Dubrovnik and Split
- Swim off the boat in turquoise water
- Explore national parks along the route
- Wander medieval old towns on various islands
- Overnight in small island marinas most nights
- Eat fresh seafood and try regional wines
- You're on a real yacht, so cabins, bathrooms and living space are shared with other passengers and sleeping quarters are compact
- Most time is spent above deck in the open air rather than below
- The skipper sails when conditions allow but will use the motor when needed, so the exact itinerary can shift with the weather
Worth it if you want a scenic Adriatic experience with brilliant local skippers and stellar food. Think twice if you expect actual sailing—you'll motor most days.
- Marketing promises sailing; reality is mostly motoring to islands for meals and tours with the skipper's contacts.
- Skippers like Ante and Bratso are genuinely excellent: knowledgeable, considerate, and make expert restaurant choices.
- Dalmatian coastal scenery from the yacht is unique; off-the-beaten-track itinerary with beautiful towns and local hospitality.
- Trip quality depends heavily on skipper assigned; early trips with multiple staff ran smoother than skeleton crew later.
