Day-by-day journey

Named anchorages, restaurants, and route notes for every leg of the week — written by sailors who've actually run this passage.

Day 1 / 7
Vrgada
1
Day 1

Biograd → Vrgada

Starting your adventure in Biograd, the "White City," history hums through mediaeval ruins and elegant boats bob in the marina. Sail to Vrgada, a car-free island where time stops to the sound of bicycle bells. Anchor in a remote bay, snorkel over sandy areas glowing like liquid gold. Dine at a family konoba on brudet, fish stew, the tang of Adriatic herbs blending with stories of fisherman who have risked these waters for millennia.

Things to do

Swim the sandy Lučica Bay

Walk no-car island paths

Beachcomb for sea glass

Brudet stew at the family konoba

Mooring tip

Restaurant moorings off Lučica Bay — free with dinner ashore. Free anchoring on sand at 4-6 m for a quieter night.

Day 2

Vrgada → Primošten

Glide south to the secluded bay known as Ždrelac Bay on Pašman Island, where pine forests flood into azure sea. Explore crystalline shallows then sail forward to Primošten, whose terracotta rooftops flow down the sea like a stone waterfall. Swim under the famous vineyard island, with its limestone terraces shining amber at sunset, and toast with strong Babič wine at a cliffside bar while fishermen repair nets below.

Things to do

Swim below Bucavac vineyard

Climb to St. George cliff church

Babić red wine tasting

Dinner at Konoba Mediteran

Mooring tip

Marina Kremik (1.5 nm south) is the standard berth — pre-book in summer. Anchor in nearby Garma cove on sand at 5-7 m.

Komiza
3
Day 3

Primošten → Komiža

Track the horizon westward to Vis, Croatia's "island of mystery." Komiža welcomes you with boats battered by salt and pastel homes. Climb Hum Hill for sunset views of the archipelago, then eat komiška pogača—a savory anchovy pie—at a harborside restaurant, the air heavy with laughter and the briny kiss of the sea.

Things to do

Day-trip to the Blue Cave

Climb Hum Hill at sunset

Komiška pogača anchovy pie

Tour the Vis Fishing Museum

Mooring tip

Komiža harbour is short-stay only; pre-book ACI Marina Vis (other side of the island) for a safer overnight.

Hvar
4
Day 4

Komiža → Hvar Town

Set out for Hvar, where boat-studded bays dissolve lavender fields. Dock in Hvar Town, a mix of bohemian flair and Venetian majesty. Wander St. Stephen's Square, then climb to Španjola Fortress as the sun sets to paint the Pakleni Islands molten gold. By night, slink into a secret courtyard for spaghetti with truffle-laced hum from ancient stone.

Things to do

Tour Hvar's St. Stephen Cathedral

Hike to Španjola Fortress at sunset

Day-cruise the Pakleni Islands

Sunset cocktails at Hula-Hula

Mooring tip

ACI Marina Palmižana on Sveti Klement (Pakleni Is., 2 nm) is the safest pre-book; Hvar town quay slots are first-come.

Veli Drvenik
5
Day 5

Hvar → Maslinica (Šolta)

Sail north to the island of olive orchards and peaceful magic, Šolta. Anchor at Maslinica Bay, where a mirror-still castle protects from the eighteenth century. Kayak to Čikat's sandy cove, then at a family restaurant enjoy soltinski šokol (fig cake). Toast with rožulin liquor as evening gilds the bay, the stars rising like old friends.

Things to do

Day-trip the seven Maslinica islets

Visit the Martinis-Marchi castle

Bike Šolta olive-grove trails

Dine on local Šolta lamb

Mooring tip

ACI Marina Maslinica is small but well-protected; book ahead. Anchor in Šešula Bay (1 nm south) on sand at 5-8 m.

Šibenik
6
Day 6

Maslinica → Šibenik

Go back to Šibenik, where St. James Cathedral pierces the heavens with its stone lacework, designated by UNESCO. After swimming beneath the roaring falls of Krka Waterfalls, eat fritule (sweet doughnuts) by the river, fireflies dancing like embers in the warm night air.

Things to do

Tour UNESCO Cathedral of St. James

Climb to St. Michael Fortress

Krka National Park afternoon

Fritule doughnuts at the Riva

Mooring tip

Mandalina Marina is the standard charter berth; ACI Marina Skradin upriver is the alternative.

Biograd na moru
7
Day 7

Šibenik → Biograd

Sail homeward down the coast, stopping to dive in secret nooks where sunshine dances into liquid gold. Go back to Biograd; the lights of the marina seem to be ground-based constellations. Under an indigo sky, toast your journey with crni rižot (black risotto) the Adriatic whispering: You will carry this salt in your soul always.

Things to do

Final swim in Pašman coves

Walk the Biograd Riva

Visit the Heritage Museum

Crni rižot dinner at the marina

Mooring tip

Marina Kornati or Marina Šangulin — both inside the old-town breakwater. Confirm fuel slot 24h ahead.
