DAY 1 Saturday SPLIT – MAKARSKA
Departure from Split harbour, Saturday at 17.00pm (board between
15h00 and 17h00). Sail along the Dalmatian coast down to the
Makarska Riviera. Admire the Biokovo Mountain, proud and
unconquered with its magnificent barren cliffs. Biokovo is the
main feature of the Makarska Riviera, like a protective stone
rampart over 1500m (the highest peak of St.Jure is 1.762m). Its
barren and sheer cliffs make up an indescribable backdrop for the
resorts of the shore. Biokovo has been proclaimed a natural park
because of its outstanding beauty. Enjoy the Makarska atmosphere
as you dine in one of the local seafood restaurants at your
leisure. The boat will remain anchored in Makarska overnight
providing you with an opportunity to take in some of the city’s
nightlife.
DAY 2 Sunday MAKARSKA - MLJET
The boat begins its morning cruise towards the Island of Mljet.
The cruise will provide you with a wonderful view of the famous
vineyards, including those owned by Plenkovic and Plancic. If
conditions and time allow, you may be able to visit one of these.
Then on to Mljet National Park. The whole afternoon is free to
view the salt lakes in the National Park and enjoy the sun and sea
on this peaceful island. In the middle of the large lake, inside

nature along the way to Dubrovnik, one of the best-preserved
medieval walled cities in Europe boasts a 1300-year history. Its
city walls, with their four fortresses are the same today as they
were in the 13th century. The marble-paved squares, steep cobbled
streets, tall houses, convents, churches, palaces, fountains and
museums all create the atmosphere of stepping back in time. A
walk along the city walls is one of the many highlights of this
amazing city. Dinner at your leisure and overnight at Dubrovnik.

distinguished visitors throughout its rich history, Korcula is
said to be one of the most attractive and best-preserved medieval
towns in the Mediterranean area. As you approach the city,
round-towered fortifications rise from the water’s edge and red
tiled roofs glisten in the setting sun. You will find more
legendary tales and monuments on this island, than you will
anywhere else. The remainder of the afternoon is left for shopping

has definitely lived up to its reputation. Because of its unique
geographical location, Hvar has more sunny days then any of the
Croatian Islands; in fact there is a rumor that if it snows while
you are on Hvar, you will get your accommodation for free. The
town of Hvar, our anchorage, is a traditional Dalmatian town,
tracing its history back to its first Greek settlers. The island
is now well known for its vineyards and lavender fields. In
keeping with its strong island tradition, enjoy dinner at your

(Golden Tough) on Brac, one of the most beautiful beaches in
Croatia. A natural wonder created by a unique combination of sea
currents and wind, creating a golden horn projecting out into the
