Sail from Split to Dubrovnik along Croatia’s spectacular Dalmatian Coast

Discover a coastline where ancient walled cities meet untouched nature, and every island has its own rhythm. From UNESCO-listed towns to hidden bays and peaceful fishing villages, this is Croatia at its most captivating.

Spend your days island hopping through one of the world’s most beautiful sailing regions, swimming in turquoise waters, and exploring stone streets that have stood for centuries. Think fresh grilled seafood, local wines, and long afternoons drifting between swim stops and quiet harbours as the coastline slowly unfolds around you.

You’ll sail with a small group of like-minded travellers, guided by a professional skipper and our Mariner Boating Tour Leader. No sailing experience needed. Just arrive, settle in, and enjoy the balance of relaxed sailing, shared moments on board, and free time to explore each destination.
