  • Indulge in a tailor-made luxury sailing experience along Croatia’s stunning coast. Cruise on a premium yacht, with your personal guides crafting a journey of active adventures, gourmet dining, and rich history. From biking and hiking through picturesque islands to wine tasting in local vineyards, every detail is customized just for you. With private cabins, expert crew, and flexible itineraries, this is the ultimate escape for those seeking exclusivity, comfort, and adventure. Ready to set sail on an unforgettable journey?

    • The itinerary below is a suggested framework designed to give you an overview of the incredible experiences the Croatian coast has to offer. Your guides will work closely with you to personalize every aspect of your trip, ensuring it aligns with your preferences.

      Whether you wish to explore a specific destination, adjust the pace of your hiking and biking (or skip them altogether), dive deeper into the region’s fascinating history, or simply unwind with exceptional local cuisine and wine, your experience will be fully customized to meet your exact desires.

    • Upon arrival at Split Airport, a VIP transfer will take you to Marina Kaštela where your sailboat, guides, and crew await. After a safety briefing around 4pm, board your sailboat, treat yourself to a welcome drink, and head for Milna, a traditional Dalmatian village on Brač island. If you’re up for it, your guide will take you on a trial bike ride to assess your skill and fitness level. Alternatively, you can swap the wheels for a scenic hike or stay and relax on your sailboat.

      For dinner, head out to a local spot with your guides or enjoy a gourmet, chef-prepared dinner right on the boat. Spend the night in the harbor or anchored under the stars—the choice is yours!

      Meals: Dinner
      Accommodation: Ensuite cabin aboard a luxury catamaran

    • Wake up on the island of Brač, the third largest island in the Adriatic. Enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast on board, then head out hiking or biking! A local highlight is the 500-year-old Blaca Monastery, a stunning landmark crafted fully in stone by the monks of old. You can explore the library, a historical collection of bishop’s clocks, the second oldest telescope in Europe, a small school, and period artefacts.

      After a swim break, set sail to the island of Hvar and your next destination: Stari Grad, an ancient Greek settlement, cultural hub for the Renaissance nobility, and the oldest town in Croatia.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
      Accommodation: Ensuite cabin aboard a luxury catamaran

    • We’ll kick off the day by exploring the beauty of Hvar, Croatia’s sunniest island! There are endless options to choose from—cycling across UNESCO-protected ancient Greek fields from Stari Grad to Hvar Town, hiking past dry stone walls and olive groves to the lavender viewpoint, and visiting the 16th-century Španjola Fortress are just some of the highlights of this magnificent island.

      The town of Hvar is not only a treasure trove of history, but also one of Croatia’s best-known party hot spots. Stay in Hvar and explore its nightlife, dock and relax in a quieter spot, or head directly for the island of Vis.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
      Accommodation: Ensuite cabin aboard a luxury catamaran

    • Vis is a truly special corner of the Adriatic. The farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland, Vis is home to ancient Greek ruins, historical military tunnels from WWII, stunning beaches, and unique local wines.

      After a filling breakfast, choose how you’ll spend your time on Vis! Cycle or hike around the island, or kick back on the famous Stiniva Beach, situated in a beautiful cove enclosed by massive cliffs. Afterwards, head on a unique guided military tour and explore the post-WWII bunkers on the island. In the evening, enjoy a wine tasting session of the island’s finest.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

    • The island of Brač is worth coming back to for many things, but especially the olive oil, the wine, and the views from the top! Brač boasts the highest island peak of the Adriatic, Vidova Gora, with beautiful trails for hiking and biking alike leading up to the top. From there, enjoy a magnificent view of Zlatni Rat beach, Biokovo mountain, and surrounding islands. Then, visit a welcoming local family and taste traditional dishes, homemade olive oil, and some truly exceptional wine before heading back to your sailboat.

    • One of the options for today is to head back to the mainland and visit Omiš, an ancient pirate town and Dalmatia’s MTB mecca! Here you can ride some terrific trails and drink one of the best beers in Croatia.

      If you’d rather stick to the islands, set sail to Čiovo and explore its stunning beaches, ancient settlements, and medieval churches. Alternatively, head to Korčula Island—the birthplace of Marco Polo! There, you can visit a well-preserved medieval town with Venetian architecture, taste its indigenous grape varieties and high-quality wines, or just let your guides lead the way to the best local gems.

    • From Omiš (or wherever you settled on going the day before), go to Split, the largest city in Dalmatia, or Kaštela, an agglomeration of seven settlements, each with a notable castle with unique architectural features and historical narratives. If you’re in Split, explore Marjan hill, a 400-ft (123 m) high forest park with breathtaking panoramic views of Split and its surroundings. You’ll enjoy Kaštela for its deep historical background: the area originally served as a crucial port for ancient Greek sailors and later as a summer retreat for Croatian kings.

      With this private adventure, you’ll have multiple options for exploration and enjoyment every day. Active adventures range from guided mountain biking on historic trails to guided hiking through national parks and exploring hidden paths on the coast. Every activity can be tailored to your fitness level and interest, from gentle walks to challenging rides.

      You can enjoy swimming in secluded coves, discover hidden beaches, or simply relax on deck. The beauty of private sailing holidays is the freedom to adjust plans based on weather, your energy levels, or simply your mood that day. Your guides and crew will customize each moment to match your interests.

The culinary side of your journey might include wine tastings at family-owned vineyards, cooking demonstrations, multi-course dinners prepared by your private chef onboard, and exceptional meals at selected local taverns and restaurants.

    • While the Croatian islands offer spectacular terrain for both hiking and mountain biking, these luxury sailing holidays are designed to accommodate all fitness levels and interests and tailored to each individual group.

      With two guides leading the way, your group can easily split based on interests and abilities. While some might tackle a challenging MTB trail, others can enjoy a gentler ride, head on a guided hike, or simply relax on board.

      Looking for an active vacation?
      If you love to explore on foot or by bike, Croatia offers an incredible variety of terrain, from ancient stone pathways connecting historic towns to panoramic ridge trails overlooking the Adriatic. Hikes can range from relaxed 2-3 hour coastal walks to more ambitious ascents with breathtaking views of the Adriatic. MTB routes can vary from leisurely rides through historic towns to thrilling technical trails with rewarding viewpoints. Your guides will choose the perfect routes for your skill level and preferences.

      Prefer to take it slow?
      If you’d rather soak up the atmosphere than break a sweat, there are endless ways to indulge on the Croatian coast. Your journey can focus on long alfresco lunches, private explorations of storied towns, tasting sessions of local delicacies, or simply soaking up the sun on deck.

      However you choose to experience the Croatian coast, every detail is tailored to your comfort, desires, and how you feel in the moment.

    • There’s absolutely no pressure to hike or bike. This journey is equally about savoring traditional meals at hidden konobas, enjoying wine tastings at family-owned vineyards, and soaking in the rich cultural heritage of each location. You can be as active or as relaxed as you wish—your guides will ensure your experience matches your desired pace and comfort level.

      Whether you choose to hike to a panoramic viewpoint, cycle through lavender fields, or simply enjoy a glass of wine on deck—it’s your holiday, and your guides will help you enjoy it your way.

    • Your guides offer a range of high-quality mountain bikes and e-bikes, but we highly recommend choosing an e-bike—this is your vacation, and you should enjoy it without overdoing it!
