Trogir is one of our suggested starting places, but other Croatian cities like Split, Dubrovnik, or Zadar.
Trogir is a historic town, smaller than the bigger cities, but is still enclosed by medieval walls. Located on a small island in central Dalmatia. The old town has impressive architecture dating back to the 13th and 15th centuries.
You can spend the day exploring the narrow streets, find a hidden restaurant for lunch, and check out the art, cafes, and shops. One of the best places to check out is the seafront.

On day 2 we will start our sailing adventure by setting sail from Trogir and heading towards the island of Solta.
After a few hours of sailing, we can stop for a lunch, have a snorkel, kayak, SUP or swim off the boat, then maybe have a beer or two.
After lunch, we will set sail towards our first stop of the trip Stomorska. Here there is a bay that provides the perfect setting golden hour drinks and parties into the night.

Day 4
Day 4 – Stari Grad

A short sail along the coastline offers ample opportunities to drop anchor for a swim and lunch stop before heading to the marina in the late afternoon.
Stari Grad is the oldest town in Croatia has numerous hidden gem restaurants and bars so it’s well worth having a venture away from the quay.
The long, narrow deep-water bay of Stari Grad offers the idealist location, protection for yachts and the perfect setting for your next night.
