Itinerary
Day1
Embarkation in Sukošan and Sail to Žut Island
Arrival and check-in take place during the afternoon at Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan. After boarding and a short briefing, depart in the early evening toward the Kornati archipelago. The first overnight stop is near Žut Island, an area known for protected anchorages, quiet coves and traditional island restaurants surrounded by olive groves and rocky landscapes.
Day2
Kornati Archipelago and Telašćica Nature Park
Continue through the Kornati Islands, navigating between uninhabited islets and narrow sea passages before reaching Telašćica Nature Park on Dugi Otok. The area is known for its steep sea cliffs, Salt Lake and calm natural harbor. Time is available for swimming, paddleboarding or walking trails overlooking the Adriatic before anchoring for the night near Telašćica or the villages of Sali and Zaglav.
Day3
Dugi Otok to Primošten
Depart from Dugi Otok and sail south along the Dalmatian coast with a midday stop near the islands of Kakan or Kaprije. These smaller islands are ideal for swimming in clear water away from larger tourist centers. In the afternoon, continue toward Primošten, a historic coastal town famous for its stone houses, vineyards and waterfront atmosphere.
Day4
Blue Lagoon and Hvar Area
Sail toward the Krknjaši lagoon near Drvenik Veli, often referred to as the Blue Lagoon because of its bright turquoise seabed and shallow anchorage. After lunch and free time for swimming or snorkeling, continue toward Hvar Island and the nearby Pakleni Islands archipelago. Depending on conditions, the evening may be spent in a marina or at anchor surrounded by pine forests and small beaches.
Day5
Vis Island Exploration
Leave the Hvar area and cruise toward Vis Island, one of the furthest inhabited islands off the Croatian mainland. Along the route, stop at bays such as Stiniva or Stončica, both known for crystal clear water and dramatic coastal scenery. The evening is spent in the town of Vis, where traditional stone architecture, local seafood restaurants and a slower island atmosphere create a different side of Dalmatia.
Day6
Šolta Island or Rogoznica
Begin the northern return route with a longer navigation toward Šolta Island or the sheltered bays near Rogoznica. The day combines open sailing with quieter anchorages ideal for swimming, relaxing on deck and enjoying the final evening of the cruise. Depending on weather conditions, overnight stops may include Maslinica, Šešula Bay or another protected harbor along the coast.
Day7
Return Navigation to Sukošan and Disembarkation
After breakfast, continue sailing back toward Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan through the central Adriatic islands and coastal channels. Arrival is expected in the afternoon, followed by check out and disembarkation procedures before the end of the sailing holiday.

What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light, but wisely! Need help building the perfect list?
