A one way route from Split to Dubrovnik with classic islands, quiet bays and coastal towns across the Dalmatian Coast.
This seven day Split to Dubrovnik sailing cruise follows a classic island hopping route along the Dalmatian Coast, combining historic towns, quiet bays and some of the most scenic anchorages in Croatia. The journey begins near Split with a relaxed boarding in the afternoon, then continues south toward Brač, Vis, Hvar, Korčula, Mljet and the Elafiti islands before reaching the Dubrovnik area. The route offers a balanced mix of coastal landscapes, swimming stops, short walks ashore and time to enjoy life on a traditional wooden gulet.
Each island brings a different atmosphere. Brač is known for sheltered bays and stone villages. Vis offers quieter nature and preserved coastline. Hvar blends pine forests, coves and a lively old town easily reached by local taxi boat. Korčula stands out with narrow streets and views over the channel. Mljet adds national park scenery with pine forests and saltwater lakes. The Elafiti islands at the end of the route offer sandy coves and low hills before arriving near Dubrovnik.
The cruise moves at an easy rhythm with swimming from the boat, meals served outdoors and time to relax on deck. The captain selects anchorages according to weather and sea conditions, choosing the most comfortable bays for the day. Short passages keep the navigation calm while the landscape shifts from cliffs and vineyards to sandy beaches and open blue water.
This itinerary suits travelers who want a complete view of the Dalmatian Coast in one week and appreciate the slower pace of a gulet cruise. It combines coastal culture, island scenery and simple moments at sea, with evenings spent under the stars and mornings waking up in a new bay.
Itinerary
Day1
Split, Stobreč to Brač, Milna
Check-in begins at 4 PM in Stobreč near Split. After meeting the crew and settling into your cabin, the gulet leaves the marina and heads toward Milna on Brač, known for its sheltered stone harbor framed by pine trees. During the short cruise you can relax on deck, enjoy welcome snacks or take the first swim if conditions allow. Upon arrival, the boat anchors in a quiet bay where you can unwind, explore the small waterfront or simply enjoy dinner on board while watching the lights of the village reflect on the water. Night at anchor.
Day2
Brač, Milna to Vis
After breakfast the gulet sails toward Vis, one of the most peaceful islands in the Adriatic. Once a closed military zone, Vis has remained authentic, with hidden coves, vineyards and crystal water. The crew usually stops in one of several calm bays for swimming and snorkeling before lunch. In the afternoon there is free time for a walk along the waterfront or a visit to the old town, where stone houses and narrow streets show the island’s long maritime history. Depending on conditions, the gulet anchors in a sheltered bay such as Rogačić or Parja for a quiet evening on board.
Day3
Vis to Hvar (via Pakleni Islands)
The day begins with a scenic crossing to the Pakleni Islands, a chain of wooded islets offering some of the clearest bays in Croatia. Here you can swim, snorkel or relax on deck while the crew prepares lunch. In the late afternoon the tender or a local taxi boat brings guests to Hvar town, famous for its historic square, Venetian architecture and sea views from the hilltop fort. You can stroll the promenade, enjoy a coffee or explore the narrow alleys before returning to the gulet anchored in a nearby quiet cove for the night.
Day4
Hvar to Korčula
The route continues toward Korčula, often called “Little Dubrovnik” for its old town layout and medieval walls. Before arrival the gulet anchors in a calm bay for swimming and sunbathing. In Korčula you can walk through the old center, explore viewpoints, small galleries and sea-facing terraces. The atmosphere blends local life with maritime heritage, making it an ideal place for a relaxed afternoon or early evening stroll. The boat anchors nearby for a peaceful night surrounded by pine-covered shores.
Day5
Korčula to Mljet
In the morning the gulet heads south toward Mljet, an island covered in dense pine forests and known for its famous national park. Before reaching the main port, the crew stops in a sheltered bay for swimming and lunch. Guests may choose to visit Mljet National Park, where two saltwater lakes and a small islet with a former monastery offer an easy and scenic walk. Others may prefer to enjoy the calm surroundings from the boat. Evening is spent in Pomena or Polače depending on weather conditions.
Day6
Mljet to Šipan
After breakfast the gulet sails to Šipan, the largest of the Elafiti islands. The landscape is quieter here, shaped by vineyards, olive groves and small stone villages. The day is relaxed with plenty of opportunities for swimming or resting on deck. Guests can go ashore for a gentle walk, visit a local café or simply enjoy the peaceful environment. The evening unfolds at anchor with dinner on board and time to appreciate the calm of the bay.
Day7
Šipan, Lopud to Dubrovnik area
A short morning sail brings the gulet to Lopud, known for sandy beaches and shallow turquoise water. This is one of the best swimming stops of the week, with time to explore the long bay or walk among palm-lined paths. After lunch the boat continues toward Dubrovnik, arriving in the early evening. Guests can choose to stay on board and relax or visit a nearby waterfront area.
Disembark the following morning by 9 AM.
note: The itinerary is indicative and may vary depending on weather, sea conditions and the captain’s discretion. Adjustments may include changing the order of stops or selecting equally suitable alternatives to ensure safety and comfort.
