PRIVATE YACHT CRUISE IN THE CROATIAN ISLANDS

This amazing 1-week program is particularly fascinating as it focuses on the lesser-known parts of Croatia's magnificent islands as well as the sides only accessible by boat and thus off-limits for land-based travelers.
SAMPLE ITINERARY - 7 DAYS, from $ 8,500.00 per boat, up to 10 guests Download as .pdf

DAY 1 - Saturday:
Marina Kremik (Primosten) - Island of Drvenik Veli (approx. 17 NM, 2.5- 3.5 hrs)
Boarding in the afternoon. Welcome drink, on-board and route briefing. The skipper will provide information on the weather on a daily basis and, if there is any interest, can provide sailing lessons as well. Sailing out of the marina Kremik is planned for late afternoon.

Brac Sailing out after breakfast around 10 am; one hour break for swimming in a lagoon within the Krknjasi islands. Later, departure to Solta and continuing to Brac, the most mountainous and third-largest island in the Adriatic. The famous limestone from Brac was used to build numerous important historical buildings worldwide, from the Palace of Diocletian in Split to the White House in Washington D.C. The most spectacular monument on Brac is Pustinja Blaca (Desert Blaca), a monastery built in the 15th century by hermit monks. They had hidden in the interior of the island to protect themselves from the pirate attacks that were common in villages close to the sea. They founded the sanctuary and an observatory that still attracts many visitors. After the visit of the monastery in the afternoon, we sail towards Jelsa on the island of Hvar, our final destination of the day. In the evening, visit of the wine cellars of well-known Croatian winemaker Tomic.

DAY 3 - Monday:
Jelsa - Bol - Island of Korcula (approx. 43 NM, 6-8 hrs)
Korcula The cruise continues to Bol and the beach Zlatni Rat, one of the greatest natural attractions of the Adriatic. This beach protrudes several hundred meters into the sea, changing its shape every day with waves and currents. After relaxing in Bol we continue to Korcula, the alleged hometown of Marco Polo. There are many legends and stories that have survived Korcula's rich history; a guided tour of the city in the afternoon will acquaint you with some of these tales.

DAY 4 - Tuesday:
Korcula - Lovisce -Island of Scedro - Island of Hvar (approx. 38 NM, 5.5 -7 hrs)
Hvar En-route from Korcula to Hvar, we take stops in several bays for lunch, swimming, and to relax. We reach the town of Hvar in the afternoon. Pharos (Hvar) had been founded as a colony by the Greeks in 3rd century B.C. and has remained an important trading port for centuries. It has turned it into a multicultural center where people of different nationalities live together. Greeks, Illyrians, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians settled in Hvar, and a liberal municipal management where commoners traditionally took part in the decision-making has made literature and art flourish in this town. Hvar is the home of the oldest public theater in the world, dating from 1612. Our local art expert will direct you to and explain the most interesting corners of the town, and recommend the best places to go out at night.

The transparent sea and the marine wildlife around the island of Vis are truly breathtaking. In Komiza, the oldest fishing village in the Adriatic, we visit the fishing museum situated in a Renaissance tower dating back to the 16th century. Later, we will have a tasting of the traditional "komiska pogaca" (focaccia bread). Dinner in the hilltops of Vis will be served the vineyards of the island's most famous winemaker.

Afterwards, we make a short stop in Stiniva and the Green Cave and then return to the town of Vis.
