Yacht Charter Croatia

Day 1: Milna, Brač

Your Croatian odyssey begins beneath Diocletian's Palace, Split's marble heart built by a Roman emperor who chose this exact spot for his retirement seventeen centuries ago. After noon embarkation and a welcome tour of your yacht, you slip from the harbor past wooded headlands and limestone cliffs that plunge into the Adriatic. Within two hours, Milna reveals itself, a horseshoe bay on Brač's western shore where Venetian stone houses climb terraced slopes and a baroque church tower marks the center of a village that has built ships since the days of the Republic. The natural harbor cuts deep and protected, ringed by pine-covered hills that glow golden in afternoon light. Uvala Smrka Beach sits just beyond the headland, its pebbles worn smooth by centuries of waves, the water impossibly clear over a seabed visible over ten meters down. In the evening, you will be picked up for dinner at Konoba nono Deslav, a charming family-owned restaurant in, offering an authentic and organic dining experience.

Sailing: 1.5 hours (11 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: ACI Marina Milna, Town quay mooring, Lučice Bay anchorage

Dining: Konoba nono Deslav

Activities: Noon embarkation in Split, Welcome drinks and yacht tour, Afternoon sail to Brač, Exploration of historic shipbuilding village, Swimming & water sports at Uvala Smrka Beach, Sunset aperitifs on deck

Day 2: Komiža, Vis

The passage west carries you beyond sight of mainland Croatia, the islands falling astern one by one until only open Adriatic surrounds the yacht. Vis emerges gradually from morning haze, an island that spent four decades as a Yugoslav military base, closed to civilians, its secrets buried in tunnels carved deep into limestone mountains. This isolation preserved something precious: authenticity. Komiža huddles on the western shore beneath Mount Hum, a fishing village where nets still dry in the sun and the day's catch appears on plates within hours of leaving the sea. The harbor curves in a perfect crescent, Venetian towers and baroque churches testament to centuries of strategic importance. Beneath your feet, tunnels extend hundreds of meters into the hillside, submarine pens and ammunition stores now converted to wine cellars where plavac mali ages in Croatian oak. The town wears its military past lightly, preferring to speak of fishing traditions that predate Rome.

Day 3: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands

Dawn breaks over Vis with the promise of blue light. By early morning, your tender approaches Biševo's tiny opening, timing calculated to catch the sun at its perfect angle. Inside, the cave reveals its secret: light entering through an underwater opening refracts through salt water to paint the chamber in shades of blue so pure they seem impossible, water glowing like liquid sapphire. For centuries, local fishermen kept this phenomenon to themselves, showing it only to Austro-Hungarian officers they particularly favored. The passage east to Hvar carries you through waters that have seen Illyrian pirates, Greek colonists, Roman fleets, Venetian galleys, and now yachts seeking the island Condé Nast calls the most beautiful in Europe. Hvar Town spreads around its harbor like an amphitheater, Renaissance palaces and Gothic churches rising in tiers to the Venetian fortress that has guarded these waters since 1551. The main square, paved in marble stretches wider than any piazza in Dalmatia.

Day 4: Pakleni Islands

The Pakleni archipelago scatters seventeen islands across the strait just off Hvar. Palmižana bay is embraced by pine forest descending to the water's edge, backed by the Meneghello family's botanical gardens. Lunch at the famous Laganini beach club offers front-row seats to impossibly clear turquoise waters. While day-trippers crowd Hvar town, yachts tuck into Pakleni's hidden coves where the only sounds are wavelets on stone and wind in pine branches.

Day 5: Korčula

The passage southeast follows Pelješac Peninsula's dramatic coastline, limestone mountains plunging sheer to a channel that funnels winds and concentrates currents, making these waters among Croatia's finest for mussels and oysters. Korčula appears gradually, its medieval walls and towers rising from the strait like a stone ship eternally at anchor. Marco Polo may or may not have been born here despite what the town insists, but someone designed these streets with genius: the main lanes run east-west to catch summer breezes, while side streets curve to block winter winds, creating microclimates that change within meters. Venetian influence shows in every palace facade and church portal, six centuries of Republic rule leaving architecture that rivals anything in Venice itself. The cathedral treasury holds a Tintoretto and works by local stonemasons whose skill approaches the divine. Beyond the walls, vineyards produce Grk, a white wine grown nowhere else, its vines requiring the specific soil and maritime influence found only in Lumbarda's sandy fields.

Sailing: 4 hours (50 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: ACI Marina Korčula, Town harbor, Kneža bay anchorage

Dining: LD Restaurant

Activities: Passage through Pelješac Channel, Guided tour of medieval old town, Visit to Marco Polo's alleged birthplace, Wine tasting of indigenous Grk and Pošip, Traditional moreška sword dance performance, Michelin-level dinner in the old town, Evening stroll along marble streets

Day 6: Šolta

Šolta floats between Brač and the mainland, an island that avoided the development that transformed its neighbors, preserving something increasingly rare in the Mediterranean: authentic island life at its own unhurried pace. Olives and wine remain the economy, families working groves planted by ancestors whose names appear in Venetian tax records. Maslinica clusters on the western shore, a fishing village of stone houses facing seven small islands that scatter across the strait like a broken necklace. The Martinis castle rises above the harbor, an 18th-century fortress built when corsairs still raided these coasts, now converted to a boutique hotel and restaurant where Dalmatian cuisine achieves levels that draw diners from Split. Gornja Krushica Bay cuts deep into Šolta's southeastern shore, a perfectly protected anchorage embraced by pine forest, the water graduating from turquoise shallows to sapphire depths. No development, no crowds, only a single stone cottage where a family serves wine from their vineyard and cheese from their goats.

Sailing: 4 hours (45 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: ACI Marina Martinis Marchi (Maslinica), Gornja Krushica Bay anchorage, Šešula Bay anchorage, Stomorska harbor

Day 7: Split (Return & Disembarkation)

Your final morning breaks over Šolta with that particular clarity of Adriatic light, everything sharp-edged and vivid. One last swim in water so clear the pebbled bottom appears magnified, then the yacht weighs anchor and turns toward the mainland. The passage carries you back through the strait that has connected these islands for millennia, past Čiovo where Romans built summer villas and medieval monks established monasteries. Split emerges ahead, Diocletian's Palace dominating the waterfront as it has since 305 AD when the emperor retired here, choosing this exact spot above all others in his vast empire. The week has revealed Central Dalmatia's many faces: Vis's preserved authenticity, Hvar's refined beauty, Korčula's medieval perfection, Šolta's unhurried traditions. As the yacht secures to the dock, you understand what makes Croatia special, not just beauty but preservation, islands and coastlines that have resisted the worst of development while welcoming those who come to appreciate rather than merely consume.

Sailing: 2 hours (12 nautical miles)

Recommended Beach: Final morning swim at Šešula

Dining: ZOI Restaurant

Activities: Leisurely breakfast cruise toward Split, Final swim stop at Šešula Bay, Scenic approach past Čiovo Island, Packing and preparation underway, Disembarkation at Split marina, Farewell to crew and final views of Dalmatian coast

Day 1: Mljet - Polače

Dubrovnik announces itself from miles offshore, the Pearl of the Adriatic rising above its harbor in tiers of terracotta and marble, city walls that have defended against empires for a thousand years still standing proud. After embarkation at noon, the yacht heads northwest into open water. The passage carries you past steep coastlines where the Dinaric Alps meet the sea, creating a landscape of dramatic verticality rare in the Mediterranean. By mid-afternoon, Mljet emerges, Croatia's greenest island, so thickly forested that ancient Greeks called it Black Island. Polače cuts deep into the northern shore, a natural harbor so protected that Roman fleets wintered here, their ruins still visible beneath crystal waters. The village itself barely breaks a hundred souls, stone houses clustered around a quay where fishing boats work as they have for centuries. Beyond the headland, Mljet National Park preserves the island's heart, two saltwater lakes connected by channels where Benedictine monks built a monastery on a tiny island in the 12th century. The water glows jade and turquoise, warm enough for swimming, rich with life.

Sailing: 2.5 hours (31 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: Polače Harbor, Pomena Harbor, Polače Bay anchorage

Recommended Beach: Saplunara Beach

Dining: Restaurant Maestral

Activities: Noon embarkation in Dubrovnik, Welcome drinks and yacht tour, Afternoon sail to Mljet National Park, Lunch at Maestral restaurant, Bike ride around saltwater lake & visit to Benedictine monastery, Swimming & watersports at sundown, Sunset aperitifs

Day 2: Korčula

The morning passage north follows channels between islands where currents run strong and the seabed drops suddenly from shallows to depths that swallowed ships throughout history. Korčula rises ahead, its defensive walls and round towers built by the Venetian Republic with such precision they appear carved from single stone. The town plan reveals sophistication: main streets run east-west to catch summer breezes, side streets curve to deflect winter winds, creating microclimates that shift dramatically within meters. Marco Polo may have been born in one of these stone houses, though Genoa disputes this as fiercely now as both cities fought in the 13th century. What matters is the atmosphere: marble streets polished by centuries of footsteps, Gothic windows where light plays across ancient stone, hidden courtyards where jasmine climbs walls built when Constantinople still stood. The cathedral treasury holds works by Tintoretto and Carpaccio alongside local stonemasons whose anonymous skill rivals the Renaissance masters. Beyond the walls, Lumbarda's vineyards produce Grk, indigenous white wine requiring the specific sandy soil and maritime influence found nowhere else on Earth.

Sailing: 2 hours (15 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: ACI Marina Korčula, Town harbor, Lumbarda anchorage

Recommended Beach: Bacva Beach

Dining: LD Restaurant

Activities: Morning passage through island channels, Guided tour of medieval walled town, Marco Polo house museum visit, Wine tasting: Grk and Pošip varietals, Traditional moreška sword dance, Michelin-level dinner in old town

Day 3: Vela Luka

Vela Luka occupies Korčula's western end, a deep bay embraced by hills where olives and vines cover every slope not too steep for human labor. The town grew around this perfect natural harbor, safe enough that ships sheltered here through the worst Adriatic storms. Development came late to Vela Luka, preserving a working-town atmosphere where fishing boats outnumber yachts and the morning market sells produce from gardens within walking distance. Just offshore, Proizd Island floats like a green jewel, uninhabited except for a small beach bar, its coves offering some of the clearest swimming in Dalmatia. The seabed appears magnified through six meters of water so transparent it seems like air. Above the town, Vela Spila cave burrows deep into limestone, yielding artifacts spanning twenty thousand years of human occupation, from Paleolithic tools to Neolithic pottery, making this one of the Mediterranean's richest archaeological sites. Local families still produce olive oil using methods their ancestors brought from ancient Greece.

Sailing: 2 hours (20 nautical miles)

Day 4: Lastovo

Lastovo rises from the sea thirty-five miles offshore, so remote that Yugoslavia designated it a military zone, closing the island to visitors for four decades. This enforced isolation preserved something precious: an island where traditional life continued unchanged, where dialect and customs survived that vanished elsewhere under tourism's homogenizing pressure. The main settlement clings to an inland hillside rather than the coast, a defensive choice from centuries when Neapolitan and Corsican pirates raided these waters. The houses display unique chimneys, each a different whimsical design, competition among families producing a townscape unlike anything else in the Mediterranean. Venetian fortresses crown surrounding peaks, stone sentinels that once signaled when danger approached across open water. The island achieved Dark Sky Park status, its lack of light pollution making stars appear with a clarity and density that takes the breath away. Zaklopatica cuts into the southern shore, a fjord-like bay where the yacht anchors in water so clear the rocky bottom appears within reach six meters down.

Sailing: 2 hours (17 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: Pasadur Harbor, Zaklopatica Bay anchorage, Skrivena Luka anchorage

Recommended Beach: Saplun beach

Dining: Augusta Insula

Activities: Passage to Croatia's most remote inhabited island, Exploration of Lastovo Nature Park, Hiking to Venetian fortresses, Swimming in pristine bays, Village tour of unique, Stargazing in Dark Sky Park

Day 5: Mljet - Saplunara

The passage back to Mljet carries you east through waters that deepen suddenly to abyssal trenches where the continental shelf drops away. Saplunara occupies the island's southeastern tip, twin bays separated by a narrow isthmus where sand rather than the usual Dalmatian pebbles creates beaches rare enough to draw swimmers from across the region. Pine forest descends nearly to the water's edge, providing shade that makes even August afternoons bearable. The bays face different directions, offering shelter regardless of wind, making this a favorite anchorage for yachts seeking solitude. Behind the beaches, footpaths wind through forest where wild boar root and mongooses hunt snakes, descendants of animals introduced to control vipers centuries ago. The small settlement barely registers a dozen permanent residents, life here maintaining rhythms that have changed little in living memory. Local families still prepare peka, meat and vegetables slow-cooked beneath iron bells covered in hot coals, a technique dating to Ottoman times that produces flavors impossible to replicate in conventional ovens.

Sailing: 2.5 hours (25 nautical miles)

Mooring Options: Saplunara Bay anchorage, Okuklje Bay anchorage

Recommended Beach: Saplunara Beach

Dining: Restoran Maestral

Activities: Morning passage back to Mljet, Beach time at Saplunara's sandy shores, Snorkeling & watersports in pristine waters, Kayaking through coastal caves, Forest hiking on ancient pathways, Traditional peka dinner, Sunset over the Pelješac Channel

Day 6: Elaphiti Islands - Šipan

The Elaphiti Islands scatter northwest of Dubrovnik, remnants of a limestone ridge now mostly submerged, their peaks forming an archipelago where Ragusa's nobility built summer palaces when the Republic ruled the Adriatic. Šipan stretches longest, an island of olive groves and vineyards where forty Renaissance palaces survive, testament to wealth accumulated through maritime trade. The two villages, Šipanska Luka and Suđurađ, occupy opposite ends, connected by a valley planted with olives for five centuries. Some trees measure six meters in circumference, their gnarled trunks twisted by time into forms that appear sculpted. Šunj Beach curves along the southern shore, rare sand fine enough to slip through fingers, water graduating from pale jade shallows to deeper blue, warm as a bath throughout summer. The island maintains peaceful rhythms, cars few enough that their absence feels notable, the loudest sounds being wavelets on stone and wind in olive branches. From the yacht's anchorage, Dubrovnik's walls rise visible across the channel, a reminder that tomorrow brings return.

Sailing: 2 hours (20 nautical miles)

Recommended Beach: Šunj Beach

Dining: BOWA

Day 7: Dubrovnik (Return & Disembarkation)

Your final morning breaks clear over the Elaphiti, light painting the limestone islands in shades of gold and amber. One last swim in water so transparent it barely seems to exist, pebbles on the seabed appearing magnified and within reach. The yacht weighs anchor and turns east, Dubrovnik growing ahead, its defensive walls and fortress towers rising from the peninsula like a vision from medieval times. UNESCO declared this a World Heritage Site, recognizing walls that survived the Great Earthquake of 1667 and shells during the Homeland War, standing testament to human determination to preserve beauty against all odds. The week has revealed Southern Dalmatia's treasures: Mljet's pristine forests, Korčula's medieval perfection, Lastovo's preserved isolation, the Elaphiti's quiet elegance. As the yacht secures to the dock and the crew prepares for farewell, you understand what makes this coastline special, not just beauty but layered history, islands and waters that have witnessed empires rise and fall while maintaining their essential character.

Day 1: Ist Island

Your charter begins in Zadar. The city spreads around its ancient harbor where Roman emperors built forums and medieval Croatian kings raised churches, a city whose layered architecture spans three millennia. After noon embarkation and a warm welcome by the crew, the yacht heads northwest through channels littered with hundreds of small islands. Ist emerges in the late afternoon, a car-free sanctuary where barely two hundred residents maintain traditions of viticulture and olive cultivation that reach back to antiquity. The single village sits around a sheltered bay, stone houses built from limestone quarried on the island itself, unchanged since Venetian times. Behind the settlement, olive groves and vineyards climb slopes toward Straža peak, from whose 174-meter summit the panorama encompasses Dugi Otok stretching south, and on exceptionally clear days, Italian mountains visible across the Adriatic. The island produces exceptional wine and olive oil using methods preserved across generations.

Day 2: Veli Iž

The passage south carries you past Dugi Otok where Veli Rat lighthouse rises forty meters above the sea, one of the Adriatic's most prominent beacons guiding vessels through these island-studded waters since 1849. Veli Iž occupies a narrow island barely a kilometer wide, its spine of limestone hills dividing two coasts, each offering shelter depending on wind direction. The island measures twelve kilometers long but holds only four hundred residents, their lives centered on fishing traditions that reach back to when Rome ruled. Ancient fort ruins crown the highest peak, stones placed by legionaries who recognized this island's strategic value commanding approaches to Zadar. The parish church contains exceptional 14th-century frescoes, saints and biblical scenes painted when the Black Death ravaged Europe but somehow spared these remote islands. The crystalline waters surrounding Veli Iž offer some of the finest swimming in the northern archipelago, with numerous protected coves where the seabed remains visible at extraordinary depths through water of remarkable clarity.

Day 3: Žut Island

Žut stretches long and narrow, an uninhabited island where nature reclaimed land once terraced for vines and olives. No permanent residents remain, though ancient stone huts testify to centuries of seasonal occupation. The island wears its solitude beautifully, Mediterranean scrub covering former fields, wild rosemary and sage scenting air that holds no sound of civilization. Pod Ražanj Bay cuts deep into the western shore, protected enough that ACI maintains a small marina offering yacht berths for those seeking the Kornati experience with essential facilities. Around the island, a dozen bays offer secluded anchorages, each one revealing water so crystalline the rocky bottom appears magnified through six meters of depth, schools of fish flashing silver over stones worn smooth by millennia of currents. At night, stars appear with a density and brilliance impossible near cities, the Milky Way stretching overhead like a celestial river, planets bright enough to cast shadows across the deck.

Day 4: Piškera, Kornati National Park

The Kornati archipelago spreads across the Adriatic like a labyrinth designed by gods, eighty-nine islands and islets creating a seascape so otherworldly that George Bernard Shaw claimed God completed his creation here and decided further work unnecessary. The islands appear as bare limestone rising from indigo waters, their southwestern faces dropping vertically into depths that reach ninety meters within boat lengths of shore, underwater cliffs called "crowns" creating snorkeling and diving unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Piškera occupies the archipelago's heart, a small island where ACI maintains a marina offering essential yacht services in this remote wilderness. Lojena Bay opens nearby, one of the few sandy beaches in this stone world, its shallows glowing turquoise against surrounding blues. On the highest peak, ruins of Tureta fortress mark where Venetians maintained a watchtower in the 6th century, monitoring for approaching threats. The view from this summit encompasses the entire archipelago, islands spreading in every direction, channels threading between limestone cliffs, water shifting through infinite shades of blue depending on depth and light.

Day 5: Murter

Murter connects to the mainland by a narrow bridge but maintains fierce island identity, its residents traditionally owning most of the Kornati archipelago, families holding hereditary title to individual islands where ancestors grazed sheep and harvested olives until national park designation transformed these waters. The town curves around a sheltered bay, stone houses rising from the waterfront, church towers marking quarters established when Ottomans controlled the hinterland and Venice ruled the coast. Kosirina Bay Beach stretches along the southern shore, its crystalline waters and white pebbles creating a refined atmosphere far from mass tourism. The town maintains vibrant maritime traditions, fishing boats working waters using knowledge passed through generations about where currents shift and fish gather. From the waterfront promenade at sunset, the Kornati islands appear as dark silhouettes against skies shifting through amber and rose, dolphins occasionally breaching in the channel, their dorsal fins cutting the surface in graceful arcs that have captivated mariners for millennia.

Day 6: Primošten

Primošten occupies a dramatic peninsula that was once an island until Ottoman threats prompted locals to build a fortified causeway, creating the picturesque connection between old town and mainland that defines its character today. Stone houses pack tightly on the rocky promontory, climbing toward a baroque parish church whose distinctive silhouette has become iconic of the Croatian coast. The old town preserves its medieval defensive layout, narrow lanes winding between buildings so closely packed their upper floors nearly touch, creating cooling shade essential during Adriatic summers. Behind the town, vineyards climb impossibly steep slopes in a pattern of stone-walled terraces where Babić grapes thrive in conditions found nowhere else. UNESCO recognized these landscape patterns as intangible cultural heritage, acknowledging centuries of viticultural expertise required to cultivate wine on such extreme topography. The Babić wines produced here achieve depth and complexity that captivated even Roman colonists who first planted these slopes. Raduča Beach curves south of town, pristine pebbles meeting crystalline water beneath pine forest that scents the air with resin.

Day 7: Zadar (Return & Disembarkation)

Your final morning breaks over Primošten, the peninsula town glowing golden in early Mediterranean light. The yacht weighs anchor and turns north for the concluding passage, following a coastline where successive civilizations, Illyrian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian left their marks across three millennia. Zadar appears ahead, its Romanesque bell towers and Renaissance fortifications marking where Emperor Augustus founded one of Dalmatia's most strategically important settlements, where medieval Croatian kings were crowned, where Venetian architects created masterpieces in Istrian stone. The week has unveiled Northern Dalmatia's exceptional character: Ist's preserved authenticity, the Kornati's geological drama, Primošten's viticultural heritage.
