• Split: Yes, mostly. If you’ve booked together with a partner or a friend on a twin-share trip, you’ll be roomed together. If travelling alone, you’ll stay in a twin-share room with other travellers of the same sex.Please be aware that there are different options and prices when booking the Croatia Island Sail trip, On Deck and Below Deck, and you can only be roomed together if you have paid for and selected the same option at time of booking.If you’re travelling with your friends and have made separate bookings, don’t forget to tell our 24/7 support team that you’re travelling together. The Trip Manager will always try their best to put you in the same room. But please note, this can’t always be guaranteed.
• Split: Croatia’s peak season means we’ve got lots of boats sailing the same day. If you and your friends have made separate bookings – just give our 24/7 support team a shout to link your bookings and we’ll make sure to keep the crew together on the same boat. But please note, this can’t always be guaranteed.
• Split: Standard boats will have sun-decks so you can soak up the sunlight. Premium boats (the Plus version of our trip has Premium boats) have larger sundecks with a mid-weekly linen service.
• Split: Yep, all bedrooms on the boats have air conditioning. They’re small and fit perfectly into the cabins (and work great for a quick cool down).
• Split: All rooms are fitted with an ensuite. The premium boats tend to have bigger bathrooms.
• Split: If the weather gods are on our side (which they usually are), we should be docking back up in Split at 3PM.

• Split: We’ll feed you while you sail around Croatia. So you can just focus on getting the perfect sunset selfie. 
• Hvar: See the historical Hvar Spanish Fortress, Arsenal and St. Stephen’s Square. Don’t forget your camera. 
• Korcula: This 13th Century walled city is framed by terracotta-topped buildings, rugged mountain scenescapes and turquoise waters.  

Travel inland from Makarska to visit a local olive farm tucked beneath the limestone flanks of Biokovo. Stroll groves of Oblica and Levantinka trees, learn modern pressing versus traditional milling, and sample regional oils with fresh bread, sea salt and citrus.

Producers explain how stone terraces, karst soils and mountain breezes create oils with a grassy aroma and gentle peppery finish. This hands-on tasting is at additional cost and bookable on tour; a small shop often stocks limited-batch bottles to take home.

Paddle along the foot of Dubrovnik’s ramparts to paddle beneath the City Walls and the brooding bastion of Fort Lovrijenac. From water level, arches, gun loops and sun-bleached stones loom above while swallows dart across a brilliant blue horizon.

Glide over glass-clear water with views of scarlet rooftops and cliff-top gardens, often skirting sea caves and bathing platforms locals have used for generations. This guided outing is at additional cost and bookable on tour; routes vary with conditions to make the most of the Adriatic clarity.

Climb the ramparts to walk the City Walls, a two-kilometre circuit with panoramas over terracotta roofs, bell towers and the open sea. Peer across the harbour to Fort Lovrijenac and ascend Minceta Tower, the highest point of the defences and a superb photo perch.

Interpretive panels trace sieges, seismic shocks and the Republic’s maritime might as you circle the UNESCO ramparts. Entry is at additional cost and bookable on tour; pace is self-guided so you can linger for sweeping views or descend for gelato in the shaded lanes below.

Visit a family-run winery on the Pelješac peninsula, where sun-baked slopes produce the robust Plavac Mali grape. Walk the vines or cellar with a host who pours signature labels, often from the famed Dingac slopes, alongside local bites that bring out Dalmatia’s briny, herbal notes.

Learn how steep terraces, bora winds and rocky soils shape the wines’ inky colour and spice. A short, convivial tasting in the barrel room rounds off the experience. This visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour; selections vary by season and family estate.

Gather with your shipmates for a convivial Captain’s Dinner served on deck or in the salon, pairing coastal views with plates of Dalmatian seafood, salads and local desserts. Expect easy conversation, clinking glasses and that mellow, golden hour glow over the anchorage.

Menus vary by boat and season—think grilled fish, herb-scented vegetables or even a taste of black risotto—with regional wines to toast the crew and the week’s adventures. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Mark the journey’s close with a relaxed final night dinner in Omiš, set beneath the sheer cliffs of Omiš where the Cetina River delta meets the sea. Share plates of Dalmatian favourites—grilled squid, garden salads, herb potatoes—and raise a glass to new friends and salty horizons.

Between bites, feel the town’s pirate lore in the looming fortresses and echo of waves along the quay. This celebratory meal is at additional cost and bookable on tour; venues vary by season and group size.

Join a local expert to join a guided walk through Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, entering by Pile Gate to step onto the marble sheen of the Stradun. Trace elegant arcades and stone palaces to Onofrio’s Fountain and hear stories of merchant guilds, earthquakes and republic pride.

Continue past cloisters and courtyards toward the Rector’s and Sponza Palaces, where diplomacy once shaped Adriatic trade. Along the way, your guide points out filming sites, hidden churches and timeworn carvings as swifts wheel above the rooftops and the scent of orange blossom lingers in shaded lanes.

Relax on deck as your boat threads between the Elaphite Islands—Kolocep, Lopud and Šipan—where cypress spires rise over pine-fringed bays and ochre chapels. The water shifts from glassy teal to cobalt, and coves flash by in a dazzle of cliffs, citrus groves and lazy fishing piers.

Rounding the channel, the vine-draped Pelješac peninsula comes into view, its terraced slopes meeting the sapphire shallows. Keep a camera ready for quiet villages, stone quays and sea caves glinting in the afternoon light—this is Dalmatia at its most unhurried and scenic.

Drop anchor and slip straight from the swim platform into the crystalline Adriatic. Float over pebbly shallows where silver fish flit through ribbons of seagrass, or paddle to the cove’s edge to bask on warm rock ledges while the boat rocks gently in the sun.

These unhurried dips are Dalmatia’s purest pleasure: cicadas hum in the pines, a salt-tinged breeze cools the deck, and the coast’s limestone folds gleam just beneath the surface. It’s a refreshing reset between island harbours and seaside towns during your sailing week.

Explore Hvar’s honey-toned core on a relaxed orientation, pausing in St. Stephen’s Square where the cathedral fronts polished flagstones worn by centuries of processions. Admire the grand Arsenal, whose upper level housed one of Europe’s oldest public theatres, and trace lanes scented with lavender toward café-lined alleys by the harbour.

Look up to the Fortica (Spanish Fortress) crowning the heights, built by the Venetians to guard the channel. From the waterfront, catch glimpses of the Pakleni Islands scattered offshore—an ever-present lure for swimmers and sailors throughout your time in Hvar.

Contiki

Settle onto your premium boat and cruise the Adriatic from Split’s Riva toward sun-drenched Hvar. Watch fishermen’s skiffs slip past the palm-lined promenade while the limestone bulk of Diocletian’s Palace fades astern and Marjan’s pines frame the bay. Deck time here is all sparkling water, warm breeze and island horizons.

The approach to Hvar reveals terraced vineyards and the Pakleni archipelago dotting the channel. Glide into a harbour of Venetian facades and polished stone squares as the late light burnishes bell towers and quayside cafes—an evocative welcome to Dalmatia’s island life.

Wander Korcula’s walled old town, a petite peninsula encircled by gleaming ramparts and lapped by turquoise shallows. Follow a clever fishbone pattern of breezy alleys to the square before St. Mark’s Cathedral, where sculpted lions and stone finials echo the island’s Venetian centuries.

Hear the tale—part legend, part lore—of Marco Polo, said to have been born here, and spot the winged Venetian lion above arched gates. Between Gothic-Renaissance facades and red-tiled roofs, balconies burst with bougainvillea while the scent of pine and sea salt drifts in from the promenade.
