A one-way week of sailing from Trogir to Dubrovnik along the Dalmatian coast, linking Brač, Hvar, Korčula and Mljet National Park with the walled harbor towns, pine-covered islands and quiet bays of southern Croatia.
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.
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.
Life on board depends on the yacht class. Depending on the yacht class, you may find private or shared bathrooms, air conditioning or natural ventilation, and meals prepared by a host or by the guests themselves. The boat description and the Included and Not included lists on this page show exactly what each yacht offers. In the Boats available section at the bottom of the page you can compare the other boats on this route and switch to a different one, depending on dates and availability. If you prefer a different style of week on the same route, you can also compare the Split to Dubrovnik Explorer cruise.
Itinerary
Day1
Embarkation in Trogir and First Sail to Bobovišća
Embarkation takes place in Trogir in the afternoon. 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.

Economy Catamaran for an Island Hopping flotilla week, designed for guests aged 18 to 35.
The Economy Catamaran offers one of the most affordable ways to experience a cabin charter sailing holiday in Croatia, ideal for travelers who want to explore the Dalmatian islands without the cost of luxury yachts. Typically ranging between 38 and 42 feet, these catamarans provide a simple and social way to sail the Adriatic, combining island-hopping adventures with a relaxed flotilla atmosphere.
Yachts in this category are assigned by the operator, meaning the exact catamaran model may vary depending on the departure date and sailing route. However, all boats share the same essential setup and level of comfort. Cabins are double, with shared bathrooms and no onboard air conditioning, creating a more communal environment that keeps the price accessible while still offering everything needed for a memorable sailing journey along the Croatian coast.
Life onboard is designed with young travelers aged 18–35 in mind, combining sailing, swimming, and social moments throughout the week. Guests usually travel as part of a flotilla sailing experience in Croatia, where multiple yachts follow the same route through the Dalmatian islands. Crews often meet during sunset raft-ups, shared anchorages, or casual group dinners in seaside villages along the itinerary.
Each catamaran includes a professional skipper responsible for navigation and daily sailing operations, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the experience even without previous sailing knowledge. Breakfast and shared lunch provisions are supplied for the week: guests prepare their meals together in the galley and bring their own drinks and snacks. Days alternate between swimming stops, island visits and short scenic sails between destinations such as Hvar, Korčula, Mljet and Dubrovnik. Equipment like SUP boards and snorkeling gear is available to explore the clear Adriatic waters, hidden coves, and quiet bays that define many Croatia sailing itineraries.
The Economy Catamaran is especially suited for backpackers, groups of friends, and couples looking for a budget-friendly way to experience an Adriatic catamaran cruise. It focuses on the essentials of sailing travel: island discovery, turquoise water swim stops, lively evenings with fellow travelers, and the freedom of exploring the Croatian coast by sea.
What to pack for a sailing holiday?

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?
