Sail from Split
Where Every Stop Tells a Story
Your adventure begins in Split, a city where ancient history and modern Mediterranean charm intertwine. Stroll through the lively streets of Diocletian’s Palace before setting sail into the shimmering waters beyond.
As the ideal starting point for sailing to the islands of Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Mljet, and more, Split offers a gateway to some of the most breathtaking islands. With calm, sheltered waters and short sailing distances, this route allows for a seamless and leisurely journey, perfect for both seasoned sailors and newcomers alike. Each destination holds a story waiting to be discovered, from hidden coves and world-class wineries to ancient villages untouched by time.
To help you uncover the very best of each location, we’ve curated an interactive map filled with our top recommendations. Explore secluded bays, family-run vineyards, and charming coastal towns – places few get to experience the way you will.
Brač Island
Usually, our first or last stop, the island of Brač, captivates the senses with its stunning white stone, famously quarried in Pučišća, serene bays with crystal-clear waters, and the golden shores of Zlatni Rat beach.
As the home of the renowned Plavac Mali wine variety (a cousin of the iconic Zinfandel), it invites you to savor bold flavors rooted in centuries-old viticulture.
Šolta Island
A peaceful Adriatic island known for its charming villages, crystal-clear waters, and lush olive groves, offering an authentic Mediterranean experience and timeless beauty. Perfect for those seeking natural tranquility and traditional island life.
Hvar Island
Known as the “lavender island,” Hvar is rich in history and culture, with ancient towns, historic sites, and a vibrant atmosphere. Its numerous bays provide perfect day stops, while the nearby Paklenski Otoci offers a serene escape for overnight anchorage.
Vis Island
The farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland, Vis is a place of isolation, offering a fascinating history marked by its strategic military significance and stormy past. Known for its indigenous wine varieties, Plavac and Bugava, it’s famous for lobsters, deep fishing, and remnants of military bases from World War II.
Steep cliffs give way to secluded coves and sandy or pebbled beaches, creating natural wonders around every corner. For a truly immersive experience, we recommend a combined jeep tour to explore historical sites, army heritage, cultural treasures, vineyards, and olive tastings, all set against a spectacular 360° view of Vis Island.
Lastovo Island
As the most remote inhabited island in Croatia, Lastovo is surrounded by 47 smaller islands and is a protected nature park. With deep-sea fishing, a unique city shaped like an amphitheater, and its remote location preserving the Mediterranean as it once was, Lastovo offers an unparalleled sense of isolation and privacy.
Known as the “Island of Stars,” it’s the perfect place to stargaze thanks to its low light pollution and the cleanest sea in the world. A true gem where time seems to stand still, Lastovo unites all the senses.
Korčula Island
One of the most beautiful and greenest islands in Croatia, Korčula is renowned for its dense pine forests, local wines, and olive oils, alongside a rich history of connection with both the Republic of Dubrovnik and the Venetians.
Famous as the birthplace of Marco Polo, it’s a popular travel destination with charming medieval streets and traditional wine varieties like Pošip and Grk.
We recommend a guided tour through Korčula Town, where you can immerse yourself in the island’s history and culture, and “Get to be a local for one day.”
