250Nm – 25 hours of sailing
Itinerary:
SATURDAY
Zadar - Vodice
Embark from the port of Zadar between 11:30 – 13:00 hours.
Familiarization with the boat and the crew, welcome drink and sailing towards the Šibenik aquatorium and swimming in the lagoons of Žirje, Prvić, Kapri. Following the lunch on the boat the boat sails towards Vodice – probably one of the liveliest sea resorts! Walk and dinner in one of the numerous restaurants and taverns of your our choice is recommended.
SUNDAY
Vodice – Skradin – Šibenik
After breakfast we sail towards Šibenik. Spending the night there is out of the question because the magnificent view of the Town from the boat will be the last we see of the Adriatic before we sail into Prokljan Lake and the Krka River estuary. We shall anchor the boat in the picturesque little town Skradin. Visit to the Krka National Park is highly recommended. There are waterfalls and isles to be seen combined with swimming. Park entrance fee is 11 – 14 € and includes a small boat ride to Skradin Buk, the most known waterfall where at the end of its 800 m journey the Krka tumbles in the 100 m wide cascades from the height of 46 m playfully forming 17 breathtaking waterfalls.
Our next destination is Šibenik, the youngest of all big towns in Dalmatia, but the oldest Croatian town nevertheless. Unlike Split, Zadar and Dubrovnik, it was founded by the Croats. First mention of the town was in 1006. The famous and renown Renaissance monument, St Jacob’s Cathedral, is a must–see. Staying the night in either Šibenik or Rogoznica.
MONDAY
Šibenik - Trogir
After breakfast you are invited to swim in the beautiful bays of the Šibenik Isles. Lunch and then sailing towards Trogir - a town called Town Museum. Its numerous monuments, towers, churches and frescos are under the UNESCO protection. Trogir offers an unsurpassable experience of wandering through its narrow streets in search of many taverns and souvenirs. Dinner will be served on the boat anchored in the town port. Staying the night in Trogir.
TUESDAY
Trogir – Split – Supetar (Brač)
After breakfast we sail towards Split, Diocletian’s town with Marjan hill as its landmark easily reachable by the steps from the city centre. The small effort it requires will be paid off by the magnificent view of Split. We recommend the climb to the St Duje tower as well. For those less sports loving we suggest the stroll through the picturesque market.
Lunch is planned on the boat followed by the sail towards Supetar on the island of Brač where we shall stay the night. Apart from sunbathing and swimming there is a possibility of a trip to Vidova gora, the highest peak of all Adriatic Isles. A breathtaking view on a clear day will give you a chance to see as far as the island of Vis.
WEDNESDAY
Supetar – Primošten - Zlarin
We sail towards Primošten. After short sightseeing the boat continues its cruise amongst charming isles and stops on Zlarin, famous for its coral hunters. There is a small museum there guarding the secrets of the coral jewellery, and you can also go swimming in one of its bays. Lunch will be served while sailing towards the pretty little town built on a rock at the end of the peninsula. Dinner, stroll and overnight stay.
THURSDAY
Primošten – Kornati – Dugi otok
Have breakfast on the boat with the unforgettable cruise of the pearly Kornati Isles that must have been created by God himself from the tears, stars and sighs, as George Bernard Shaw once said. Ordinary people claim that there is an island there for every day of the year. A cluster of islands, islets, bays and the crystal clear blue colour of sea depths. We shall sail amongst Žirje, Vrgada, Murter, Pašman, and overnight in Sali on Dugi otok.
FRIDAY
Dugi otok - Zadar
Today is reserved for swimming in one of the bays we choose on the route to Zadar where we expect to arrive in the early afternoon just in time for an organised sightseeing tour. There is so much to see in Zadar: for example the St. Donat’s circular church, Roman Forum, St Anastasia Church. You will have plenty of time to stroll on your own through the narrow streets and listen to the concert of the world unique musical sea organ.
SATURDAY
Zadar
Sadly, today our journey ends and we have to say good-bye. Enjoy your last breakfast on the boat and when you leave we hope you will take with you fond memories of a great holiday. In those cold winter days may they keep you warm and remind you of the sun, the sea and this enjoyable trip.
