Planning a 7-day yacht charter in Croatia? Here’s a sample itinerary that blends iconic locations with hidden gems — all customizable, of course. With private yacht charters, the beauty is in the flexibility, but this outline gives you a feel for what a perfect week at sea might look like.
Day 1: Split – Welcome Aboard
You’ll start in Split, Croatia’s second-largest city and a historical gem. After boarding your yacht and meeting the crew, enjoy a short cruise to a nearby bay for a relaxed swim and dinner onboard. If time allows, stroll through Diocletian’s Palace before departure.
Highlights: Old Town charm, Roman ruins, waterfront dining.
Day 2: Split to Brač (Zlatni Rat Beach)
Sail toward Brač, home of the famous Zlatni Rat beach. Anchor nearby and enjoy water sports, sunbathing, or a hike through olive groves. Bol offers great wine tasting and seaside restaurants.
Highlights: Iconic beach, watersports, local wine.
Day 3: Brač to Hvar
Hvar is known for its nightlife, but there’s more to it than parties. Visit the fortress for panoramic views, explore charming Stari Grad, or wander lavender fields inland. Drop anchor in a nearby cove for peace — then tender into town for the action.
Highlights: Beach clubs, lavender fields, historic sites.
Day 4: Pakleni Islands
Just across from Hvar, the Pakleni Islands are perfect for a full day of swimming, snorkeling, and lunch at a hidden beach restaurant. These uninhabited islets are pure relaxation.
Highlights: Secluded bays, beach bars, snorkeling.
Day 5: Vis – Raw and Remote
Vis is one of Croatia’s least-developed islands. Enjoy peaceful harbors, military history tours, or fresh-caught seafood in a quiet tavern. Add a visit to the Blue Cave on nearby Biševo, time and weather permitting.
Highlights: Authentic villages, Blue Cave, quiet anchorages.
Day 6: Vis to Šolta
A short sail to the underrated island of Šolta. Spend the afternoon paddleboarding or cycling through traditional stone villages. The calm bays are perfect for a final dinner under the stars.
Highlights: Local charm, secluded swimming spots, calm nights.
Day 7: Return to Split
After a slow morning cruise and breakfast on deck, head back toward Split. Depending on timing, stop for a final swim or quick visit to Trogir, a UNESCO-listed town with cobbled streets and medieval walls.
Highlights: Coastal scenery, cultural finale, farewell drinks onboard.
Customize Every Step
This sample 7-day sailing itinerary gives you a taste of what’s possible, but nothing is locked in. Your actual route depends on your interests, weather, and timing. Want to skip the party and spend more time in hidden bays? No problem. Prefer more onshore dining and local wine stops? Done.
