Mediterranean · Croatia
Off-the-beaten-track Adriatic — Vis, Lastovo, and the islands the crowds haven't found.
The Destination
Seven days out of Split through the Dalmatian islands the charters skip — the recorded track of one real week. Šolta the city forgets, the clear Pakleni bays off Hvar, walled Korčula, then far out to Lastovo and Vis — the emptiest of the inhabited islands, closed to foreign boats until the nineties. Konobas above quiet harbours, water clear enough to read the anchor chain, and fish the local boats landed that afternoon.

Tap a month · sea temperature shown on the curve
Our favourite month. Warm sea, gentler wind, the crowds gone. The old towns empty out.
Practical noteSplit (Marina Kaštela) is about 25 minutes from Split Airport (SPU). We start and end at Split. The Adriatic’s afternoon Maestral is steady and kind; we keep an eye on the Bora — the cold northeasterly that can blow up fast — and can slip into the sheltered channels if it does.
The week is yours
Every week is the whole boat, for the whole week. The only question is who fills it.
Your own people
A fortieth, a reunion, two families, a honeymoon with company. You bring the people; we shape the week around them.
Plan a private week→A group you lead
Charter the whole boat for the people you host. You run your programme ashore and at anchor; we run the boat, the crew and the table. Company weeks work exactly this way.

You land in Split and we meet you at Marina Kaštela, twenty-five minutes from the airport. Aboard, into your cabin, something cold on deck. Then a short evening sail to a quiet anchorage off Šolta, the closest island to the city, for a welcome dinner at anchor — Dalmatian cooking, fish from the local boats.
South past Hvar town to the Pakleni Islands, a string of low wooded islets with the calmest, clearest bays in the area. We anchor off Palmižana for a morning swim and a paddle around the rocks. Optional run into Hvar for its lively evening, or a quieter night left at anchor.
East along the channel to Korčula, a walled medieval town on its own small peninsula that quietly claims Marco Polo as a son. Tie up, walk the old quarter as it cools, and eat ashore — a glass of Pošip from the island vineyards, or a Plavac Mali from the mainland across the water.
South to Lastovo, a protected nature park and one of the least-visited islands in the Adriatic — a handful of charter boats reach it in a week. Anchor in an empty bay, swim in water that has seen almost no traffic. The chef cooks aboard; there's no town to wander, and that's the point.
North-west to Vis, the most remote of the inhabited Dalmatians — closed to foreign boats until the 1990s and still the quietest of them. Komiža is a working fishing port; we anchor in the bay and go ashore for a slow dinner built around fish the local boats landed that afternoon.
North to Brač, the big island that guards the Split channel. We anchor off its quiet western coast — pine, white-stone coves, the pale-green water the island is known for. Swim, paddle, a long lunch aboard, then dinner ashore at a konoba above a small harbour. The last proper night of the week.
Final breakfast on the foredeck, then the sail back across the channel to Marina Kaštela through the morning, and a late-morning disembark. If you have the time, stay a night in Split's old town — Diocletian's Palace is a whole living quarter, not a ruin, worth a slow evening wander.
