Reiseverlauf 2026

1. Tag 1

   Split to Trogir to Solta

   <
   Dobro Dosli! Welcome to Croatia. Your adventure begins at a hotel in Split at 2 pm, meeting a local representative and your fellow travellers, before transferring by private van to Trogir Marina. Your skipper will be waiting to meet you and welcome you on board your home for the next eight days. After your welcome meeting, set sail for Solta Island – known for its scenic countryside and excellent olive oil. When you arrive, you can choose to visit a family-run agrotourism estate in Maslinica. Sit down and enjoy a wine tasting paired with local food, while you learn about this village’s local agriculture.
   This trip starts at 2 pm at Hotel Globo in Split. Your skipper will collect the trip kitty of EUR 100 at the welcome meeting today. If you have any special dietary requirements, please notify us at the time of booking so we can accommodate your requests. If you are spending time in Split before the trip, we recommend meeting at Hotel Globo, and transferring with the group to the marina. We do recommend arriving a day or two early, as we set sail this afternoon and spend no time in Split. If you are flying into Split on Day 1 and prefer to meet the group at the marina, please advise your booking agent at least 14 days prior to travel so that the group won’t be waiting for you at Hotel Globo. Please meet your skipper at Trogir Marina at 3 pm, approximately a 15 min drive from the airport. Our yacht will have an Intrepid flag and be moored next to the gas station within the marina. The beauty of sailing is that each day is unique and, while we have a destination to reach, if the weather changes or something takes the group’s fancy, we are flexible on the day's itinerary. The itinerary is subject to change and may vary depending on weather. Your skipper will make the final call to ensure your safety at all times. Your sailing time today will be approximately 1.5 hours.

   After breakfast onboard, bid farewell to Solta and set sail to Vis – the furthest island from the mainland. On the way, you might stop in for a swim in a nearby sheltered bay. When you arrive, you can take an optional tour to learn about the island’s history – passing between Greek, Roman, Venetian, Napoleonic, Austrian and Italian hands. Visit nuclear fallout shelters, churches and vantage points with great views across the ocean. If you like, you can also take an optional winery tour and indulge in a few glasses of the local vino.
   Your sailing time today will be approximately 3.5 hours.

5. Tag 5

   Lastovo Island to Korcula

   <
   Sail through the jewel-like waters to Korcula this morning, stopping at Badija or Polace for a refreshing morning swim. Greeks settled in Korcula in the 6th century BC, but the town was also occupied by the Romans, Slavs and then the Venetians between 1420 and 1797. Even Napoleon was ruler for a while! As a result of all these influences, Korcula has a cosmopolitan Old Town. Alongside the idyllic beaches, you’ll have plenty of options for your free time. Ask your leader for the best dinner recommendations for a good feed.
   Your sailing time today will be approximately 2.5 hours.
6. Tag 6

   Korcula to Mljet

   <
   This morning, you’ll sail for the island of Mljet, stopping for a swim along the way. Legendary in ancient history as the island where the shipwrecked Odysseus lived for seven years, today the island is a haven of lush national park, forests and small villages. Since Greek sailors sought haven here from storms, the island has been inhabited by Illyrians, Romans, Slavs and Avars. In the 13th century the island was given to the Benedictine order who built a monastery in the middle of one of the island's western lakes – Veliko Jezero. When you arrive, perhaps rent a bike and cycle through the national park. Tonight, you could try the local wine – the fields and vineyards that dot the island are the foundation of the local economy, with Mljet's villagers producing wine and olive oil as they have been for hundreds of years.
   Your sailing time today will be approximately 3 hours.
7. Tag 7

   Mljet to Elafiti Islands to Dubrovnik

   <
   Depart Mljet and head to the hidden paradise of Elafiti Islands. Made up of three main islands – Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan – the olive groves, citrus trees and ancient ruins provide a scenic backdrop for lunch. Then, sail on to the marina near Komolac. You can then head into Dubrovnik for your final night with the group (there’s a regular bus service) or stay close and enjoy dinner and drinks at the marina.
   Your sailing time today will be approximately 6 hours.
8. Tag 8

   Dubrovnik to Sipan

   Wake up in the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik and enjoy a free day to explore at your own pace. Maybe explore on foot, take a Game of Thrones walking tour or find a seaside or alleyway restaurant and try some local favourites. Head back to the sea for another welcome meeting at 3 pm this afternoon to start the next stage of your adventure. Your skipper will collect the next group kitty and you’ll head to a local supermarket for the week’s meals. After, sail to Sipan – the largest island in the Elaphiti Islands northwest of Dubrovnik. With a long history of stories and legends, this island is one of the jewels of the archipelago. When you arrive. Maybe head out to dinner with your group on the island.
   Your skipper will collect the trip kitty of EUR 100 at the pre-departure meeting today. Your sailing time today will be approximately 2 hours. As this trip is a combination of shorter itineraries, the travellers in your group and your group leader are likely to change today. You may also need to change yachts in Dubrovnik.
9. Tag 9

   Sipan to Herceg Novi

   <
   This morning after breakfast and maybe a quick dip in the ocean, you’ll continue to Herceg Novi. Pass through customs, stopping for a swim along the way in one of many inviting bays and arrive in the late afternoon. Founded in 1382, Herceg Novi is your historic entry point to the Bay of Kotor and a fabulous city in its own right. With an evening spent at the port, you’ll have time to explore the tree-lined squares of the city at your leisure this evening. Maybe head to a local restaurant with your group and enjoy a night of gorgeous views.
   Your sailing time today will be approximately 5 hours.
10. Tag 10

    Budva

    <
    This morning after breakfast (and sunrise, if you’re keen), you’ll head to Budva. You’ll stop for a swim along the way, maybe at Uvala Dobrec, depending on the weather – a secluded cove with a pebble beach and pristine waters. Arrive in Budva – home to sandy beaches, a walled city, old monasteries and lively nightlife. The time spent here will depend on the group’s desire to let loose (this is a self-proclaimed party town). Don’t worry, if you prefer the sun and the sand over the sound of bass, Budva is also home to lovely, sheltered beaches like Mogren, Kamenovo and Jaz. Your skipper will recommend the best local spots to eat for dinner, but you’re free to spend the evening how you wish.
    Your sailing time today will be approximately 2 to 3 hours.
11. Tag 11

    Rose

    <
    Enjoy breakfast on the boat this morning and then head to Rose – a historic fishing village with a quieter pace.

    Tivat

If you choose to include this optional dinner, you’ll enjoy a 3-course meal of local favourites with unlimited wine and homemade grappa. All the food served has been homemade and homegrown on the property – a night to remember!
    Your sailing time today will be approximately 1.5 hours.
13. Tag 13

    Kotor

    <
    Sail towards Kotor this morning, passing the islet of Gospa od Skrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks). As the legend goes, sailors would place a rock in the bay after every successful voyage, and over five hundred years, a tiny island was created. If you happen to have a rock handy, you can also become a part of this tradition! Docking in Kotor, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in southeastern Europe, and exploring its winding streets can feel like travelling back in time. Maybe hike along the ancient, steep fortress walls to the Castle of San Giovanni, a stunning medieval structure from which you can get sweeping views of the Old Town. Depending on your fitness level and the sureness of your footing, the hike can take between 3 to 5 hours, so it’s a good idea to set off early if you plan to tackle the climb. Or maybe opt for a full-day tour of Lovcen Mountain, Njegos Mausoleum and Cetinje. This optional tour includes a prosciutto tasting (yum!) and is a super fun way to spend the day.
    Your sailing time today will be approximately 2 hours.
14. Tag 14

    Zelenika to Dubrovnik

    <
    This morning, you’ll sail to Zelenika, Montenegro to the customs checkpoint. If there is time, stop for a refreshing dip in the sea before continuing to Dubrovnik and docking in the marina. Perhaps head out into Dubrovnik for your final night with the group – buses depart regularly from the marina and your trip leader can help with coordination. Or stay close by enjoying dinner and drinks at the lovely marina and saying farewell to your group on your last night.
    Your sailing time today will be approximately 6.5 hours.
