A one-way cabin charter sailing holiday from Trogir to Dubrovnik along the Dalmatian coast, connecting the medieval harbor towns, national park islands and turquoise bays of southern Croatia in a single relaxed week.
The cruise departs from Trogir, a short drive from Split Airport, and follows a one-way route south along the Dalmatian coast before ending in Dubrovnik at the end of the week. Traveling in a single direction allows the itinerary to cover more of the Dalmatian archipelago without returning along the same route, which makes this one of the most varied sailing weeks available on the Croatian Adriatic.
Daily sailing distances stay short to medium, generally between fifteen and twenty-five nautical miles, with a midday anchorage for swimming and lunch at the center of each day. A professional skipper handles navigation and adapts the route each morning to wind, weather and the mood of the group, while a host on board manages breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks throughout the day.
The islands along the route carry distinct characters. Brač opens the week with a first quiet anchorage in the fishing village of Bobovišća. Hvar brings the most animated evening of the week, with the Pakleni Islands just offshore offering pine-covered coves and clear water for swimming before the approach to the town. Korčula, often described as a smaller Dubrovnik for its medieval walls and red roof skyline, adds the most architecturally concentrated stop between Split and the final destination.
Mljet, one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic, protects much of its western end as a national park, with two saltwater lakes surrounded by pine forest and a twelfth-century Benedictine monastery on a small island in the center of the larger lake. The Elaphiti Islands, just northwest of Dubrovnik, bring the week to a quieter close before the final approach to the city.
Embarkation takes place in Trogir between 12:00 and 14:00, with check-in open from 11:00. Guests who arrive early have time to explore the UNESCO-listed old town of Trogir or take the short drive to Split to visit Diocletian's Palace. After meeting the skipper and storing provisions, the boat sets off for Bobovišća, a small fishing village on the western coast of Brač, with time for paddleboarding and swimming in the afternoon before a first dinner ashore at a local konoba.
Day2
Bobovišća to Hvar Town and the Pakleni Islands
A morning sail leads south toward Hvar, with a long swim and lunch stop in the Pakleni Islands, a small pine-covered archipelago just offshore from the town, before the afternoon arrival in Hvar Town. The harbor is one of the most animated stops of the week, with a Spanish fortress above the waterfront and a wide promenade of restaurants, wine bars and cafés that comes alive in the evening.
Day3
Hvar to Korčula
The route continues south toward Korčula, with the boat anchoring in a secluded bay for a swim along the way before reaching the harbor. Korčula's medieval old town, built on a small oval peninsula with a herringbone street layout and a well-preserved ring of walls, offers one of the most architecturally distinctive evenings of the trip, with local white wines such as Grk and Pošip available in the waterfront restaurants.
Day4
Korčula to Mljet National Park
Sailing east toward Mljet leads to one of the most naturally intact islands in the Adriatic, with the national park protecting the western third of the island and its two interconnected saltwater lakes. Guests can explore by bicycle, kayak or on foot along the lakeside paths, with the Benedictine monastery on St. Mary Island reachable by a short boat crossing. The night is spent in the quiet harbor of Pomena or Polače.
Day5
Mljet to the Elaphiti Islands
The route turns northwest toward the Elaphiti archipelago, the small group of islands lying just offshore from Dubrovnik. The crossing offers a relaxed day of sailing with a swim stop before the afternoon arrival at Šipan or Lopud, both known for car-free villages, quiet harbors and sandy bays. The final overnight anchorage before Dubrovnik is in a sheltered bay.
Day6
Arrival in Dubrovnik and Disembarkation
The final sailing leg approaches Dubrovnik from the sea, with the city walls rising above the harbor entrance as the boat draws close. After docking, the afternoon and evening are free to explore the UNESCO-listed old town, walk the city walls, or take the cable car to Mount Srđ for a panoramic view over the city and the surrounding islands. The final night is spent on board. Disembarkation takes place the following morning.

Comfort Class Catamaran for Croatia Sailing Holidays
The Comfort Class Catamaran offers a modern and spacious setting for a Croatia sailing holiday along the Dalmatian coast, combining the freedom of island hopping with the comfort of a well equipped cruising yacht. Designed for social sailing experiences between destinations such as Split, Hvar, Korčula, Mljet and Dubrovnik, this catamaran features four double cabins, each with a private ensuite bathroom, as well as air conditioning in both the cabins and the communal areas. The layout includes a bright saloon connected directly to the cockpit, a sunbathing deck with loungers, an onboard sound system and a large swimming platform that provides easy access to the Adriatic Sea during swim stops in secluded bays.
Life on board blends comfort with a relaxed social atmosphere typical of many Croatia flotilla sailing itineraries. A professional skipper manages navigation and daily sailing, while the onboard host prepares breakfast and lunch each day. Guests can bring their own drinks, share meals in the spacious dining area and enjoy time together on deck while sailing between islands. USB charging points, a sound system and multiple lounging areas make the yacht ideal for both relaxing and socializing during the journey.
Because the catamaran operates with a roulette allocation system, the exact yacht model may vary within the same category, most commonly a Bali 4.5, Lagoon 450 or Lagoon 42. While the specific boat can depend on the departure week and route, all yachts in the Comfort Class maintain the same standard of equipment, layout and comfort to ensure a consistent experience across the fleet.
With a maximum of eight guests on board, the Comfort Class Catamaran provides an ideal setting for a social sailing cruise in Croatia, combining modern comfort, shared adventure and the discovery of the Adriatic coastline through an island hopping sailing itinerary.

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?

What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything.

What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes?

Split to Dubrovnik on a Comfort Catamaran was one of the best holidays of my life. The boat was super comfortable, and it was amazing to share it with such a fun group. Our skipper always kept us safe, while the host kept us well-fed and happy. Highly recommend this one-way route.

The itinerary was so well planned. Every day a new island: Hvar for nightlife, Mljet for biking, Dubrovnik for history. The catamaran was in great condition and felt like a floating hotel. Breakfast and lunch on board were better than expected and the shared dinners ashore were unforgettable.

A perfect mix of sailing, swimming and exploring. The crew were incredible teaching us a bit of sailing and making sure everyone felt included. Highlights were Korčula’s Old Town and Mljet National Park. Traveling on the Comfort Class made the whole experience easy, from ensuite cabins to meals prepared daily.

Could not have asked for a better week sailing Croatia. The boat was spacious and comfortable, our cabin had everything we needed, and the A/C was a blessing after sunny days. The skipper and host were both professional and fun, showing us hidden bays for swims and recommending great konobas at night.
