Saturdays: SPLIT - OMIS

Departure from Split harbour is at 13:00. We have lunch upon departure from Split and journey down the coast towards Omis whilst taking in the stunning views. We will stop for an afternoon swim at one of the pretty coastal bays before getting into Omis, a small port lying under the Biokovo Mountains.

From Omis, you have the option of enjoying some river rafting action down the Cetina river. The Cetina river splits the Riviera in a spectacular gorge and during the 12th and 13th Century was an area where pirates thrived by raiding the Pope’s galleys and passing merchant boats to Venice. Rafters will be dropped back in Omis later in the afternoon to join the boats for the evening.

Optional Activities

• Cetina River Rafting Trip (27 Euro)*

Sundays: OMIS - MAKARSKA

The following morning we get underway early to sail down the coast towards Makarska.

Makarska is the most attractive coastlines on the Dalmatian coast nestled under the massive peaks of the Biokovo mountain range with Mt Jure the highest seaside peak on the Mediterranean. Stroll along the ancient streets and explore numerous churches and other architectural and cultural sights that take your interest.

If you are looking at nightlife options there is the cocktail bar Marineta and for late night takers there is the infamous club "Deep" a natural cave next to the sea which booms into the wee hours.

Mondays: MAKARSKA - STARI GRAD

Early in the morning, we head towards the island of Hvar, the longest and one of the most well-known islands in the Adriatic. We moor overnight in the quaint harbour town of Stari Grad. Situated on the northern side of the island, Stari Grad literally means 'Old Town' and it is the oldest town in Croatia, dating back to 384BC. Stari Grad boasts an attractive network of old narrow streets and small squares around the harbour. Vineyards and olive groves surround the town and the Stari Grad Plain is a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site. Stari Grad has plenty of restaurants and bars to explore, with some overlooking the harbour itself and others tucked away in the town's narrow streets.

Tuesdays: STARI GRAD - HVAR

After lunch onboard the boats we stop for a swim at one of the hidden bays heading towards Hvar Town for our second night on Hvar island. The 7th century walls with fortifications towering above the township, fascinating outlying Resin Islands, waterfront restaurants and famous bars make it a popular night's stop.

We overnight along the town waterfront where we have prime position to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of restaurants and cafes. Climb up to the hill fort to enjoy the magnificent views across the town and outer islands before relaxing on deck sipping cocktails and sharing travel stories with your fellow travellers.

Often there are magical sunsets you wish would go on forever and combined with clubs such as Carpe Diem, Veneranda and the Nautica Bar give those wanting a late night plenty of options to choose from. For couples there are inviting waterfront cafes and pathways leading to secluded local restaurants for a more intimate evening.

Wednesdays: HVAR - KORCULA

Later in the morning we continue our trip south. Our first stop is in one of the bays near Loviste, on the Peljesac peninsula, an islolated town which until recently was only accessible by boat. We will find a quiet bay to spend the day relaxing in the sunshine and swimming. Later in the afternoon we continue onto Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. You’ll have the opportunity to explore Korcula while we overnight in port. On this island you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Listen to the story of the stone walls, which were being built over two centuries ago.

After dinner you will probably work your way towards the Dos Locos bar and then you can follow the locals onto disco Gaudi inside the old town walls which is open until sunrise. Just don’t miss the boat the next morning!

Thursdays: KORCULA - MLJET

The next morning we head further south to the island of Mljet. We arrive late afternoon and you are then free to look at the salt lakes in the National Park and enjoy the sun and sea on this peaceful island. We will overnight in the port Polaca/Pomena. In the middle of the large lake, inside the National park, we can visit the little isle of St Mary, with an ancient Benedictine monastery, an old abbey and church dating from the 12th Century, or just use a small boat, kayak, bicycle, scooter or cabriolet to roam around the National Park.

Enjoy the beautiful sights of nature along the way as we cruise towards "heaven on earth" - according to the famous writer George Bernard Shaw.

We will arrive in Dubrovnik early afternoon. Take a walk through the Stradun - both a street and a square, a promenade inside the city walls. The old town was completed in the 13th century and remains virtually unchanged to the present day. For those of you with the energy we recommend a walk on top of the 1,940m long city walls! You will be amazed with hidden gems such as Cafe Buza which sits on the cliff face along the walls where you can sit back and watch the cliff divers jumping off the walls with the sun falling in the background.

Small alleyways hide traditional restaurants with bucket-loads of atmosphere. Later in the evening there are plenty of late night hang-outs to keep you awake into the early hours.
