Duration: 8 Days

Departure Time: 13:00


Split to Omis (L)


All board, it’s time to set sail on an 8-day Croatia sailing adventure! Make your way to the Split harbour to meet your tour leader, crew and group on board your boat at 13:00. After enjoying our first lunch together on board, we will set sail in the tranquil waters of the Adriatic Sea. There are plenty of stops for swimming on the way to Omis, a small port located at the mouth of the Cetina River and surrounded by huge gorges. Historically, Omis was home to the fearful pirates, whose fast boats were used to attack trade ships. In the afternoon, you can go white water rafting (optional) along the Cetina River.

Go for a short orientation walk and enjoy a free afternoon to chill on the beach, get involved in some optional water-sports like parasailing or jet skiing, or to wander through the many cafés, bars and restaurants that line this 1.5 km beach. After the sun goes down, let’s get this party started, as tonight we will have a rave in a cave!

Ahoy shipmates, this morning we are sailing to Lumbarda beach, a charming fishing village of around 1,200 inhabitants.

Continue onto Korcula, a medieval walled city with indented coves, rolling hills and a walled old town that looks like a miniature Dubrovnik, mostly famous for being the birthplace of Marco Polo. After an orientation walk, enjoy the rest of the day on your own to wander the medieval streets and check out the markets and many hand-made jewelry shops. Get to the top of the old city tower to enjoy a well deserved drink and to take pictures of amazing views.

This salt-water lakes were formed about 10 000 years ago and were originally freshwater lakes until the Benedictine Monks dug out a channel to the sea. You can still find their medieval monastery on the island of St. Mary in the middle of Veliko Jezero (Big Lake). Spend the afternoon visiting the lakes, go swimming, kayaking, or cycling around the island.
