Croatia Yacht Cabin Charter - Sample Itinerary
Day 1 - Depart USA
Day 2 - Arrive in Split and check into your hotel, free day to explore this wonderful city and begin to sample the historical, cultural and culinary delights of Croatia. Split also has one of the largest and most colorful food markets found anywhere in Europe.
Day 3 - Split/Trogir
Trogir, a stunning, totally-walled town on it's own little island. This is an excellent place to secure dockage - right by the walls (near a row of little restaurants and coffee shops). From here you can either take another day trip into Split. or enjoy the atmospher of Trogir.
Day 4 - Makarska
This is a popular spot for tourists, located on a horseshoe shaped bay between the Biokovo mountain and the Adriatic Sea. The city is noted for its palm-fringed promenade, where fashionable cafés, bars and boutiques overlook the pretty harbor where many pleasure craft are moored.
Day 5 - Mljet
Next stop Mljet, a beautiful island, a third of which is national park. Drop anchor, take shore lines to the trees, and jump into the water - the swimming is superb. This is also a good place to take the sailing dinghy for a spin. In the early summer the tiny islands that make up part of this national park become home to breeding gulls and the cries of the young and the antics of their feeding are a delight.
Day 6 - Dubrovnik
On south, towards Dubrovnik. The off-shore islands feature lovely vacation homes, both modern and some from an elegant past. Here, the anchorages are secure, and offer an opportunity to use the water toys: water-skis, wake boards, and the always popular "banana" ride. Anchor directly off the old town of Dubrovnik, where the walls of the city rise majestically to the sky above. Take the tender ashore and explore the city either on your own or with a private guide or head a bit further south, just 5 miles, to the delightful, peaceful village of Cavtat.
Day 7 - Korcula
On to Korcula, an island covered in vineyards and featuring a completely-walled town, set on a tiny peninsula. Korcula was once the home of pirates, who made a good living raiding the Venetian trading ships. This came to an end when the town was sacked by the Venetians and became a part of the expanding realm of Venice. Venetian influence is evident throughout the architecture of this lovely town.
Day 8 - Hvar
Depart Korcula and head north to the island of Hvar. The main town, also called Hvar, gained the nickname of, "St Tropez of the Eastern Mediterranean." This historic, picturesque town allows no auto traffic in its piazza, and the coffee shops and restaurants that surround it offer excellent vantage points for observing the harbor. At night, this tiny, quaint town comes to life with bands along the docks, and dancing in the street 'till dawn.
Day 9 - Bol/Split
Bol is renowned for its most popular beach, the Zlatni Rat ("Golden Cape"). It is a promontory composed mostly of pebble rock that visibly shifts with the tidal movement, a unique sight. The sea at Zlatni Rat and, indeed, the entire area is quite crystalline. From here we depart back to Split where the cruise ends. Transfer to your hotel for your final night in Split.
