About this trip
A week sailing down the Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik, with the boat as your base and swim stops as the main event. Days are built around being in the water — swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing off the boat — while evenings are free to go ashore.
You'll call in at Hvar and Makarska among other coastal towns, with hidden bays and quieter anchorages along the way. The crew, including a chef, handle the boat and the food, leaving you to actually switch off.
It ends in Dubrovnik, giving you a few contrasting days of walled-city history after a week of island-hopping and open water.

- Visit Hvar and Makarska
- Free evenings ashore in each port

Worth it if you want a guided sailing holiday with stellar staff and built-in friendships. Think twice if you need independence or dislike group dynamics.
