The Dalmatian Coast holds one of the densest island archipelagos in the Mediterranean — over a thousand islands, a few hundred inhabited, and most charter boats sticking to four or five of them. Our route runs from Marina Kaštela in Split through Brač, the Pakleni Islands, Vis, Lastovo, Korčula and either Mljet’s saltwater lakes or Pelješac’s wine country, leaning into the spots most operators skip.
Dalmatian food is its own register — fresh-caught fish, octopus under the bell, lamb baked in the embers, paired with Pošip and Plavac Mali from the Pelješac and Korčula vineyards. We eat in konobas, the family-run taverns that don’t have menus in English, and most nights you’ll anchor in a bay with no other boats in sight.
Lastovo at six in the morning is the part everyone remembers. Most boats stop at Hvar and turn back. We keep going. By Day 4 you understand why this is the route — it’s the Croatia most charters never see.
Each week adapts to your group, the wind, and what feels right. Here’s the rhythm we tend to follow.
You land in Split and we’ll meet you at Marina Kaštela, 25 minutes from the airport. Welcome aboard, into your cabin, a glass of something cold on deck. The chef opens with a welcome dinner at anchor — Dalmatian cooking, line-caught fish, herbs from a working kitchen along the coast.

Short sail south to Brač — anchor near Bol, the famous Zlatni Rat beach reshaping itself with the wind. Swim, paddle, lunch on board. Dinner ashore at a konoba above the harbour.
Sail past Hvar town to the Pakleni Islands — a string of small islets just off Hvar with the quietest bays in the area. Anchor for the morning swim, paddle around the rocks. Optional run into Hvar town for the lively evening, or stay at anchor for a quieter one.
Longer sail south to Vis — Croatia’s most remote inhabited island, off-limits to foreign boats until the 1990s and still the quietest of the Dalmatians. Komiža is a working fishing port; we anchor in the bay and head ashore for a fish dinner the chef hasn’t had to cook.
South-east to Lastovo — a protected nature park, almost untouched, visited by maybe 5% of charter boats. Anchor in one of the empty bays, swim in water that’s seen almost no traffic. The chef cooks on board: nothing to ashore, no town to wander, that’s the point.
Sail north to Korčula — a walled medieval town that claims Marco Polo as a son. Walk the old quarter, dinner ashore with a bottle of Pošip from the island vineyards or Plavac Mali from across the channel.
Either the saltwater lakes of Mljet’s national park (with a small monastery on an island in the middle) or Pelješac peninsula for an afternoon at a winery. Final swim in the cleanest water of the week.
Final breakfast on the foredeck. We sail back to Marina Kaštela for the late morning. Stay on for a night in Split’s old town if you’ve got the time — Diocletian’s Palace is worth a wander.
Final route depends on weather and your group. Every week we sail this is different.
Three boats. Built for different group sizes, all curated for the same week.
The intimate one. One table, one anchorage swim, one rhythm — the group never splits.
The whole boat is yours — your dates, your pace, your route.
