Day 1: Split
Ready to embark on your Croatian sailing adventure? This morning, you'll gather in Split and board your boat, filled with excitement.
Hvar
After your first sailing journey, you'll arrive in the glamorous destination of Hvar, where sleek yachts meet stunning historical architecture. Take in the sights before enjoying an alfresco dinner on board—it's a tough day in paradise!
Day 2: Hvar to Korčula
Although Korčula is close to the mainland, it has its own unique island vibe.
Korčula
Discover hidden bars, enjoy peachy sunsets, and stroll along cobbled streets by the beach, deepening your appreciation for this beautiful country.
Day 3: Korčula to Dubrovnik
You’ll wake up in the picturesque Korčula and then set off for Dubrovnik. As Bernard Shaw famously said, "Those that seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik."
Dubrovnik
Welcome to paradise! With rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and historic buildings (plus plenty of Game of Thrones references), today you'll explore Dubrovnik on foot with a local guide. Tonight, dive into the nightlife of the Urban District, or choose from the many local restaurants, bars, and cafes.
Day 4: Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is more than just a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Game of Thrones filming location—though both are impressive! Visit the Old Town, Minceta Tower, and Fortress Lovrijenac, known as King’s Landing, or grab a kayak to admire the magnificent city walls from the turquoise sea.
Day 5: Dubrovnik to Trstenik
Think your sailing adventure is over? Not yet! This morning, you’ll sail past the lush palms, cypress trees, olive groves, and vibrant reefs of the Elaphite Islands.
Trstenik
As the sun sets, you’ll dock in the charming village of Trstenik. Here, you’ll visit a family-owned winery to sample some local wine, followed by an optional Captain's dinner and a night of boat fun.
Day 6: Trstenik to Makarska
After the tranquility of Trstenik, it's time for some excitement back on the mainland.
Makarska
Following a refreshing swim, you’ll arrive in Makarska, where the stunning Biokovo mountains and a long stretch of beach await for your enjoyment.
Day 7: Makarska to Split
With one last night of Mediterranean bliss, you’ll sail back to your starting point in Split.
Split
Now relaxed after your time at sea, you can soak up the Roman heritage of this atmospheric city, revisit more Game of Thrones filming locations, and enjoy a final optional dinner in the heart of the historic centre.
Day 8: Split
And there you have it—the breathtaking beauty of Croatia and its islands. While you may have expected to be amazed by the scenery, the new friendships you'll forge will truly be the highlight of your journey.
