Premium Fleet and All-Inclusive Services

Sailing Itineraries from the Heart of Dalmatia

Split serves as the ultimate gateway to the Central Dalmatian islands, offering a wealth of diverse routes for a seven-day journey. A typical weekly itinerary might take you to the lavender-scented shores of Hvar, the secluded bays of Vis, or the famous Golden Horn beach in Bol on the island of Brač. For those seeking tranquility, the Pakleni Islands offer crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling and paddleboarding. Further south, the lush greenery of Korčula awaits, providing a blend of medieval architecture and world-class vineyards. Each anchorage is carefully selected to provide safety, scenic beauty, and easy access to local konobas serving authentic Croatian cuisine.

The cost of weekly sailboat charters in Split varies significantly based on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the time of year. During the peak months of July and August, prices typically range from €3,500 to €8,000 per week.

Expert Tips for Your Adriatic Adventure

To make the most of your time in Croatia, we suggest arriving in Split a day early to explore the Diocletian's Palace and local markets. The best sailing conditions occur from late May to early October, characterized by reliable afternoon Maestral winds. If you wish to extend your luxury experience, we can arrange a seamless transition from your sailboat to one of our private villas in Split or Trogir for a second week of relaxation on land. Remember to pack light in soft-sided bags, bring plenty of sun protection, and consider hiring a local chef if you want to enjoy gourmet Mediterranean meals served right on deck.
