The one that delivers a tropical blend of heavenly beaches, divine food and full moon fun!
Sparkling seas, white sands, historical hotspots, Croatia is the Mediterranean jewel that has it all. And there's no better way to experience this paradise than by island hopping your way from beach to beautiful bay. From the ancient hamlets of Hvar island and the Venetian architecture of Korcula to Dubrovnik’s iconic Old Town, we'll cruise along the Adriatic on our very own traditional sail boat, soaking up all those rays while we drift lazily under the cloudless skies. Bliss.

Itinerary
Day 1 | Split to Hvar
Split
Ready to kickstart your Croatia sail trip? This morning we'll meet in Split, boarding our boat with, you guessed it, boat loads of enthusiasm.
Hvar
After our first stint at sea we’ll arrive in the glamorous playground of Hvar, where big shiny boats meet grand historic architecture. Once you've taken in the sites, you will dine alfresco on board, it’s a tough day in paradise.
Stay: onboard Croatian Sail Boat (7 nights)
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day Highlights
Locally Sourced Meals as you Sail - We’ll feed you while you sail around Croatia. So you can just focus on getting the perfect sunset selfie.
The Ancient Highlights of Hvar - See the historical Hvar Spanish Fortress, Arsenal and St. Stephen's Square. Don’t forget your camera.
Day 2 | Hvar to Korčula
Hvar
Korčula may sit incredibly close to the mainland of Croatia but it's an island all of its own, which means we'll be slipping into island vibes accordingly.
Korčula
Hidden bars, peachy sunsets & cobbled streets by the beach, your appreciation for this country will be skyrocketing (even more if you choose to go on an epic buggy adventure today!)
Meals: Breakfast
Day Highlights
Visit Korčula's Fortified City - This 13th Century walled city is framed by terracotta-topped buildings, rugged mountain scenescapes and turquoise waters.
Day 3 | Korčula to Dubrovnik
Korčula
This morning we'll wake up in beautiful Korčula but we'll then be heading off to Dubrovnik. In the words of Bernard Shaw, acclaimed socialist & playwright, "those that seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik." You heard the man - let's do this!
Dubrovnik
Welcome to Paradise. Home to rugged cliffs, lashing seas, historic buildings (and a tonne of Game of Thrones references.) Today you'll have the chance to explore Dubrovnik on foot with a local guide. Tonight, head for the nightlife of the Urban District. Partying not your thing? No biggie. There are plenty of local restaurants, bars and cafes for you to check out too!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 4 | Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik
The city of Dubrovnik is so much more than just a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Game of Thrones location - not that either of those claims to fame are even mildly mediocre. Visit Dubrovnik's Old Town, The Minceta Tower and Fortress Lovrijenac - otherwise known as GoT's King's Landing, entrance to the House of the Undying and The Red Keep. Or grab a kayak and view the magnificent city walls from the turquoise sea.
Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 5 | Dubrovnik to Trstenik
Dubrovnik
You think we're done sailing around Croatia? Not a chance. This morning we'll sail past the palms, cypresses, olive trees, citrus plantations and colourful reefs of the Elaphite Islands.
Trstenik
As the sun sets, we'll dock at the unspoiled village of Trstenik. Here we'll have the chance to support and visit a family-owned winery and of course, sample some wine too. Then it's back to the boat for an optional Captain's dinner and a night of ship shenanigans. Meals: Breakfast
