This is the most booked 7-day sailing route in the Mediterranean, and there’s a reason: short crossings, reliable summer mistral winds, warm water from June to September, and some of the clearest water in Europe. Our itinerary takes you round-trip from Split through Brač, Hvar, Stari Grad, Mljet National Park, Korčula, Vis (with the Blue Cave) and Šolta, about 150 nautical miles of comfortable sailing with real anchorages and honest notes on what to skip.
Quick facts: 7 days Sat to Sat · ~150 NM · Base ACI Marina Split · May to October · All levels (bareboat, skippered or crewed) · From €4,500/week shoulder, €5,500–7,500 high season (bareboat 40–45 ft monohull).
The South Dalmatian islands are the most booked charter area in the Mediterranean and easily the best introduction to Croatian sailing. Eight major islands, dozens of smaller ones, crossings mostly in the 10–30 NM range, and a genuinely varied coastline, party towns, medieval walled cities, a national park, lavender fields, wine regions and some of the clearest water in Europe, all inside one week.
This route suits you if it’s your first Croatia charter and you want the headline spots; you have a mixed group (couples, kids, grandparents) and want short hops with lazy afternoons; or you want to balance nightlife at Hvar with the quiet of Mljet.
