Your Itinerary
Day 1
ACI Marina Dubrovnik
Sailing time:
-
Boarding begins at 5:00 pm at ACI Marina Dubrovnik, just 7 miles from Dubrovnik city center and 18 miles from Dubrovnik International Airport. Settle into your yacht and enjoy a welcome drink as you meet your crew and fellow travellers.
In the evening, dine at the nearby restaurant Vinbula, or head into Dubrovnik Old Town by taxi or bus to experience its vibrant atmosphere and wide selection of restaurants.
Pre-cruise suggestion:
Arrive a day or two early to explore Dubrovnik, one of the Adriatic’s most captivating destinations. Founded in the 7th century, the city boasts over 1,300 years of history, evolving from a powerful maritime republic into the cultural gem it is today. Its remarkably preserved Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage site—feels like stepping into a living museum. Wander polished limestone streets lined with baroque churches, Gothic palaces, and Renaissance fountains, all glowing in the Mediterranean light. Known to many as King’s Landing from Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik adds a cinematic layer to its already timeless charm.
Day 2
Lopud - Sipan
Sailing time:
2.5 hours
Set sail in the morning toward the island of Lopud, part of the enchanting Elaphiti archipelago. Spend time on the island’s southern coast at Šunj Beach, one of the few sandy beaches in the region, perfect for a relaxed swim or simply unwinding by the sea. Alternatively, explore the quieter northern side of the island, home to a charming botanical garden.
In the afternoon, continue your journey to the south-east side of Šipan, arriving at the peaceful bay of Suđurađ. Mooring is arranged at Stara Mlinica, where you will spend the night. Breakfast and lunch are served on board. Dinner will be enjoyed ashore at the restaurant Stara Mlinica, as the yacht remains on its pontoon.
Did you know?
Šipan is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands and was once a favored summer retreat of Dubrovnik’s noble families. The island still preserves its Renaissance villas, olive groves, and a timeless, slow-paced way of life.
Day 3
Mljet (Polace)
Sailing time:
3.5 hours
After a refreshing morning swim and breakfast in Šipan, we set sail toward the unspoiled island of Mljet, often described as one of Croatia’s true natural paradises.
Following lunch on board, we arrive in Polače, a peaceful harbour nestled within the island’s lush landscape. From here, you can choose to explore the breathtaking Mljet National Park (optional excursion), known for its saltwater lakes, shaded walking trails, and untouched beauty.
Within the park, enjoy cycling or strolling along scenic paths, kayaking across the tranquil lakes (rental not included), or simply swimming in the warm, calm waters. A short ferry ride (included within the excursion) takes you to the small islet of St. Mary, home to a historic monastery set in the middle of the lake.
Alternatively, spend a relaxed afternoon in Polače, enjoying swimming, snorkelling, or paddleboarding directly from the yacht.
Breakfast and lunch are served on board. Dinner will be ashore at a local restaurant, where the yacht will be moored for the night (it’s expected to have dinner at this restaurant as the yacht remains on its pontoon).
Did you know?
Mljet National Park is one of the oldest marine protected areas in the Mediterranean. According to legend, it was here that Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso for seven years, enchanted by the island’s lush forests and serene waters.
Day 4
Badija - Korčula
Sailing time:
3.5 hours
After breakfast in Polače, we set sail toward the island of Badija, part of the beautiful Korčula archipelago. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and peaceful beaches, Badija is also known for its unique population of fallow deer, introduced to the island in 1958. Over time, they have become remarkably accustomed to visitors—often greeting guests as they step ashore, creating a truly memorable and unexpected encounter.
Following lunch on board, we continue to the historic town of Korčula, often referred to as the birthplace of Marco Polo. This charming medieval town invites you to wander its narrow stone streets, discover hidden squares, and soak in its timeless atmosphere.
In the evening, you may choose to join an optional wine tasting at Bokar Winery (starting at 17:00), where you can sample a selection of local wines paired with traditional snacks such as smoked ham and cheese. Alternatively, enjoy a free evening to explore Korčula’s vibrant old town at your own pace.
Breakfast and lunch are served on board. Dinner is at your leisure ashore.
Did you know?
The town of Korčula is often called a “mini Dubrovnik” thanks to its fortified walls and medieval layout. Its streets were cleverly designed in a fishbone pattern to protect residents from strong winds while allowing fresh air to circulate—an early example of thoughtful urban planning.
Day 5
Okuklje (Mljet)
Sailing time:
5 hours
After breakfast in Korčula, we set sail south toward the lesser-explored side of Mljet Island, uncovering a quieter and more authentic side of the Adriatic.
En route, we stop at Vučine Bay on the Pelješac Peninsula—a beautiful, secluded spot perfect for a relaxed lunch on board, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and enjoying a peaceful break surrounded by nature.
In the afternoon, continue sailing to Okuklje, a charming fishing village tucked into a sheltered bay on Mljet’s northern coast. Here, you will moor at Maestral Restaurant, where dinner will be served ashore (for extra cost), and the yacht will remain for the night.
Breakfast and lunch are served on board.
Day 6
Mljet - Ston
Sailing time:
2.5 hours
Start your day with breakfast in the calm, crystal-clear surroundings of Okuklje Bay, before setting sail along the coast of Mljet.
A short cruise brings you to Prožura Bay, a secluded anchorage perfect for a refreshing swim and a relaxed lunch on board.
In the afternoon, continue toward the historic town of Ston, located at the gateway to the Pelješac Peninsula. Known for its impressive fortifications, traditional salt pans, and exceptional seafood—particularly oysters and mussels—Ston offers a rich mix of history and gastronomy.
Dinner is at your leisure ashore, with a selection of local restaurants to choose from.
Breakfast and lunch are served on board.
Did you know?
The walls of Ston are among the longest defensive structures in Europe, stretching over 3.4 miles. Built in the 14th century, they protected the valuable salt pans—once known as “white gold”—which were crucial to the wealth of the Dubrovnik Republic.
Day 7
Ston - Olipa - Dubrovnik Marina
Sailing time:
3 hours
After breakfast, we raise sails from Ston and head to the rocky islet of Olipa, a perfect spot for a refreshing swim and lunch in the heart of the Adriatic. In the afternoon, continue sailing to Dubrovnik Marina. Once docked, take a taxi or walk into Dubrovnik Old Town, enjoy a drink at a bar perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea, or explore the famous city walls. Dinner ashore at one of Dubrovnik’s many restaurants.
Historical note:
Dubrovnik Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, over 1,700 years old, with remarkably preserved medieval architecture. Walk along polished limestone streets, admire baroque churches, Gothic palaces, Renaissance fountains, and the fortifications that made the city a powerful maritime republic.
