7 Day Catamaran Cruise in Croatia Through Kornati National Park, Dugi Otok, Vis and Hvar
Explore the Croatian Adriatic on a one week sailing holiday departing from Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan, one of the main sailing hubs on the Dalmatian coast. This catamaran itinerary combines the protected islands of Kornati National Park, the cliffs and bays of Dugi Otok, the historic atmosphere of Hvar and Korčula, and some of the most scenic anchorages in central Dalmatia. Designed for a balanced rhythm of navigation and relaxation, the route mixes short island hopping passages with time for swimming, local restaurants, quiet bays and historic coastal towns.
The itinerary is ideal for travelers looking for a Croatia catamaran cruise with varied landscapes and authentic sailing atmosphere. Along the route, the scenery changes from uninhabited islands and turquoise lagoons to medieval stone towns, fishing villages and lively harbors. Daily navigation distances remain comfortable, allowing time to enjoy life on board, swim stops and evenings ashore.
Sailing conditions in this part of Croatia are generally suitable for summer cruising, with protected channels between islands and numerous natural bays for anchoring. Depending on weather and sea conditions, the route can include stops in Kornati archipelago, Telašćica Nature Park, Vis Island, Pakleni Islands and Hvar, offering a complete Adriatic island hopping experience within one week.
Itinerary
Day1
Sukošan to Island of Žut
Boarding takes place in Marina Dalmacija, Sukošan, in the late afternoon. After check in and settling into the catamaran, depart around 17:00 for a short evening sail toward the Kornati archipelago. The first overnight stop is usually the island of Žut, known for its quiet coves, olive groves and traditional waterfront taverns. The protected bays around Žut provide a relaxed introduction to sailing in Croatia and an easy first evening on board.
Day2
Žut, Kornati Islands and Telašćica Nature Park
After breakfast, continue south through the Kornati Islands National Park, one of the most distinctive sailing areas in the Adriatic. The route passes rocky islands, narrow channels and hidden anchorages before reaching Telašćica Nature Park on Dugi Otok. Here you can swim in calm bays, visit the salt lake Mir or walk to the dramatic cliffs overlooking the open sea. Overnight anchorage is possible inside Telašćica bay or near the villages of Sali or Zaglav.
Day3
Dugi Otok to Primošten
Leave Dugi Otok and sail toward the islands of Kakan or Kaprije for a midday swimming stop in clear water surrounded by pine covered landscapes. Continue during the afternoon to Primošten, one of the most attractive coastal towns in Dalmatia. The old stone center sits on a small peninsula connected to the mainland and is known for its vineyards, waterfront restaurants and relaxed evening atmosphere.
Day4
Primošten, Blue Lagoon and Hvar
Sail south toward Krknjaši Bay near Drvenik Veli, often called the Blue Lagoon because of its shallow turquoise water and sandy seabed. After lunch and swimming, continue toward Hvar Island. Depending on weather and marina availability, the overnight stop may be in Hvar Town or nearby Pakleni Islands. Evening options include waterfront dining, exploring historic streets and enjoying the lively harbor atmosphere.
Day5
Hvar Island and Vis
Cruise from Hvar toward Vis Island, one of the most preserved islands in Croatia due to its long military isolation during the twentieth century. Along the way, stop at bays such as Stiniva or Stončica for swimming and snorkeling. Arrive in the town of Vis for the evening, where narrow streets, stone houses and local konobas create a more traditional Dalmatian atmosphere compared to the busier islands further north.
Day6
Vis to Šolta or Rogoznica
Begin the return route north with a longer sailing passage toward Šolta Island or the sheltered bays near Rogoznica. Depending on sea conditions, the itinerary may include a stop in Šešula Bay, Maslinica or another protected anchorage ideal for a final swim and sunset dinner on board. This section of the cruise combines open sea sailing with quieter coastal landscapes.
Day7
Return to Sukošan and Disembarkation
After breakfast, sail back toward Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan, passing through the central Dalmatian islands and coastal channels. Arrival is usually scheduled for the afternoon, allowing time for refueling, check out procedures and final moments on board before disembarkation.
Important Note
This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, marina availability and sea conditions. Routes and overnight stops are adjusted by the skipper to ensure safe navigation and the best possible sailing experience in Croatia.

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?
