"This was our 7th WT trip. We loved everything about it. Keep doing the great job you do." Cynthia Ettlin, Walnut Creek CA

With a 2,000-mile coastline, hundreds of small green islets, a balmy Mediterranean climate, and famously translucent waters, the Dalmatian Coast is the perfect destination to explore by boat and on foot. Aboard our 12-guest yacht, we set off from ancient Dubrovnik, Lord Byron’s “pearl of the Adriatic,” to enter a world of red-roofed Renaissance towns and enchanting villages perched above a shimmering sea. Magical settings abound, from the turquoise waters of the Adriatic to medieval Hvar, with its ancient stone houses and fragrant fields of lavender, rosemary, and sage. Our journey is full of cultural exploration, walks, swims in the crystal-clear sea, meals of fresh-caught seafood, and the joys of one of the most beautiful and historic coasts in all Europe.

Itinerary-in-Brief

Days 1-2
Dubrovnik (Northbound itinerary)

The walled city of Dubrovnik is a World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. We roam the narrow lanes, enjoying the city’s famed mix of European sophistication and medieval art treasures.

Days 3-4
Mljet Island / Korcula Island

Embarking aboard our 80-foot sailing yacht, we depart for Mljet, with a barbecue lunch on board as we savor our first views of this beautiful coastline. We take a leisurely bike ride to Mljet’s saltwater lakes or visit its 12th century Benedictine island-monastery. In Korcula Island’s fortified Old Town, our walking tour is followed by wine tasting at a family-run winery.

Day 5
Hvar Island

With its jagged green bays rising from turquoise seas, Hvar Island is spectacular, sun-splashed, and carpeted in aromatic fields. We walk the quiet back streets of Hvar Town, a medieval port of pretty promenades and a bustling harbor full of fishing boats, with an optional walk up to the 16th century Venetian citadel.

Days 6-7
Hvar to Skradin via Kornati Area

A leisurely cruise with swim stops brings us view of the striking islands of the Kornati Archipelago on the horizon. These uninhabited islands cover an area of over 100 square miles. Most have national park status to protect their unique land forms and natural beauty. Our activities are flexible so we can enjoy the chance to swim, snorkel, and relax in this spectacular natural setting. We continue along to the little port town of Skradin and enjoy a walk on the wooded trails of Krka National Park amid interconnected lakes, towering cliffs, and streams cascading through winding canyons.

Days 8-10
Trogir / Split

We cruise to the island-town of Trogir, a beautiful walled village occupying its own small island. The Old Town, completed between the 13th and 15th centuries, is a World Heritage Site full of enchanting treasures. Cruising to Split, we disembark and visit the 3rd century ruins of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace before we depart on Day 10.
