Croatia Sail Adventure

Arrive & meet your group On arrival in Split, we'll meet you to the hostel near the Old Town. After you’ve checked in you’ll have plenty of time to relax and refresh before meeting the rest of the group. Tonight we head out for dinner and drinks, getting our first taste of the laid-back Croatian lifestyle.

Board Boat & Sail to Makarska This morning we'll check out the sights of Split on a walking tour before jumping on our premium boat, aka home for the next week. We have en-suite cabins, air-con, huge sundecks and our own private bar… boat life is calling! As we begin sailing we’ll have a three-course lunch on board, before jumping into the water on our first swim stop. Later this afternoon we dock in Makarska, a beautiful resort town framed by mountains and beaches.

Explore Mljet National Park This morning we’re sailing to Mljet, a secluded island sanctuary in the heart of the Adriatic. After a hot buffet breakfast, our captain will anchor in a hidden bay, getting us used to the Croatian routine of swim, eat, explore, repeat. After another three-course feast of locally sourced food (think meat, seafood and fresh veg), our boat will dock so we can explore the National Park by bike.

Discover world-famous Dubrovnik As we sleep our boat will cruise south to the famous fortress city of Dubrovnik. Poised gracefully on Croatia’s coast, Dubrovnik is so much more than Game of Thrones hotspots! We'll start our day kayaking out at sea, checking out the views from the water, next we'll immerse ourselves in the magnificent Old Town and head off on a guided walking tour. Once the sun sets we’ll dine at a local restaurant, then go out to see what Dubrovnik’s world-class clubs have to offer. Anyone up to party in a castle?

Sail to Trstenik Drifting off from Dubrovnik, we’ll sail past olive trees and vineyards as we find a bluer-than-blue spot to anchor. Spend the entire day horizontal or practice your belly flops, it’s completely up to you! Later we’ll dock in the quiet fishing village of Trstenik to explore the unspoilt streets, taking in the most authentic side of Croatia. Famous for wine, we'll also have the option to do a wine tasting. Tonight we dress a little fancy for the captain’s dinner and enjoy a few drinks and games onboard.

Explore the Venetian town of Korcula After another morning of sailing in paradise today we dock in Korcula, one of Croatia’s most picturesque towns. Covered in marble and built around a magnificent 15th Century Cathedral, Korcula is Dubrovnik, but smaller and without the crowds! After showing you the sights, the summer afternoon is yours to wander the Venetian Old Town. Foodies can hit up the restaurants on the edge of town, and if you’re after a sunset cocktail, we know where to take you.

Get a taste of the high life Hvar You know the routine by now - swim, sunbathe and snorkel to your heart’s content, then this afternoon we’re sailing to the ritzy hub of Hvar. Playground of some familiar famous faces, this is where super-yachts meet Renaissance history. Climbing above terracotta rooftops, we’ll walk up to the Spanish Fortress for incredible views in every direction. Sun setting, music in the air, by now we’re fully acquainted with the Croatian lifestyle. Tonight, head out for a few drinks and a dance, and be ready to Hvar-good-time!

Sail to Split It’s our last day of sailing, but there’s plenty more exploring on dry land to come! Sailing back to mainland, we'll have free time in the afternoon to explore.

Visit Krka National Park & Waterfalls After a final breakfast on our boat, we’ll say goodbye to the pirate life and travel to the epic Krka Waterfalls. Chasing these cascades is the perfect way to cool off in the summer heat, and the ultimate way to wrap up our Croatian adventure. On the way back to Split we’ll grab lunch in the beautiful old town of Skradin. Tonight we’ll give our Mediterranean fantasies one last hurrah with a final dinner and drinks.

Checkout Your Croatian sailing adventure must come to an end, but with a topped-up tan and a bunch of lifelong friends, there are worse ways to finish a trip! Those going home can make their way to Split airport or keep living the dream and travel on in Europe. Your group leader will be there for support every step of the way.
