Tour Overview

Sparkling seas, white sands, historical hotspots, Croatia is the Mediterranean jewel that has it all. And there's no better way to experience this paradise than by island hopping your way from beach to beautiful bay. From the ancient hamlets of Hvar island and the Venetian architecture of Korcula to Dubrovnik’s iconic Old Town, we'll cruise along the Adriatic on our very own traditional sail boat, soaking up all those rays while we drift lazily under the cloudless skies. Bliss.

Highlights

  • Explore the glamorous playground of Hvar with its grand historic architecture

  • Sail to the charming island of Korcula, enjoying hidden bars and peachy sunsets

  • Discover Dubrovnik, the 'paradise on earth', with its historic buildings and Game of Thrones references

  • Experience the unspoiled village of Trstenik and sample some of the region's finest wines

  • Enjoy the beautiful Biokovo mountains and a long stretch of beach in Makarska

  • Return to Split and soak up the Roman heritage of this atmospheric city

Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1 : Split To Hvar

Location: Split, Hvar

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Hvar Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Hvar, Croatia)

Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner

Ready to kickstart your Croatia sail trip? This morning we'll meet in Split, boarding our boat with, you guessed it, boat loads of enthusiasm.

After our first stint at sea we’ll arrive in the glamorous playground of Hvar, where big shiny boats meet grand historic architecture. Once you've taken in the sites, you will dine alfresco on board, it’s a tough day in paradise.

Day 2 : Hvar To Korčula

Location: Hvar, Korčula

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Korcula, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Korcula, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Korčula may sit incredibly close to the mainland of Croatia but it's an island all of its own, which means we'll be slipping into island vibes accordingly.
Hidden bars, peachy sunsets & cobbled streets by the beach, our appreciation for this country will be skyrocketing.

Day 3 : Korčula To Dubrovnik

Location: Korčula, Dubrovnik

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

This morning we'll wake up in beautiful Korčula but we'll then be heading off to Dubrovnik. In the words of Bernard Shaw, acclaimed socialist & playwright, "those that seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik." You heard the man - let's do this!
Welcome to Paradise. Home to rugged cliffs, lashing seas, historic buildings (and a tonne of Game of Thrones references.) Today you'll have the chance to explore Dubrovnik on foot with a local guide. Tonight, you have the chance to experience the nightlife of the Urban District, with your entry all sorted by us. Partying not your thing? No biggie. There are plenty of local restaurants, bars and cafes for you to check out too!

Day 4 : Dubrovnik

Location: Dubrovnik

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

The city of Dubrovnik is so much more than just a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Game of Thrones location - not that either of those claims to fame are even mildly mediocre. Visit Dubrovnik's Old Town, The Minceta Tower and Fortress Lovrijenac - otherwise known as GoT's King's Landing, entrance to the House of the Undying and The Red Keep.  Or grab a kayak and view the maginificant city walls from the turquiose sea.

Day 5 : Dubrovnik To Trstenik

Location: Dubrovnik, Trstenik

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Trstenik, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Trstenik, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

You think we're done sailing around Croatia? Not a chance. This morning we'll sail past the palms, cypresses, olive trees, citrus plantations and colorful reefs of the Elaphite Islands.
As the sun sets, we'll dock at the unspoiled village of Trstenik. Here we'll have the chance to sample some of the region's finest wines, and then it's back to the boat for an optional Captain's dinner (and a night of ship shenanigans).

Day 6 : Trstenik To Makarska

Location: Trstenik, Makarska

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Makarska, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Makarska, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After the peace and tranquillity of Trstenik, it’s time to head back to the mainland for more action.

After a spot of swimming we’ll arrive in Makarska where we’ll be blessed by the beautiful Biokovo mountains and a long stretch of beach ready to be enjoyed.

Day 7 : Makarska To Split

Location: Makarska, Split

Accommodation: Sail Boat (Split, Croatia)

Accommodation Name: Sail Boat (Split, Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

With one night left of the Mediterranean high life, we'll sail back to our starting point of Split.


Now contented by our time at sea, we can relax & soak up the Roman heritage of this atmospheric city, revel in more Game of Thrones' filming locations and indulge in a final optional dinner in the heart of the historic city.

Day 8 : End Split

Location: Split

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
