Day 7, back to Split
Enjoy a leisurely sail on the way back to the marina, with a stop at a breathtaking clear water lagoon.
With its seafront cafés and ancient alleyways, shouting stallholders and travellers on the move, bustling, exuberant SPLIT is one of the Mediterranean’s most compelling cities. It has a unique historical heritage too, having grown out of the palace built here by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 295AD. The palace remains the city’s central ingredient, having been gradually transformed into a warren of houses, tenements, churches and chapels by the various peoples who came to live here after Diocletian’s successors had departed. Lying beyond the Roman/medieval tangle of central Split lie suburban streets full of palms and exotic plants, followed by stately rows of socialist-era housing blocks that look like something out of a modernist architectural stylebook.
Nearly everything worth seeing in Split is concentrated in the compact Old Town behind the waterfront Riva, made up in part of the various remains and conversions of Diocletian’s Palace itself, and the medieval additions to the west of it. You can walk across this area in about ten minutes, although it would take a lifetime to explore all its nooks and crannies.
- Visit the Diocletian’s Palace
- Wine tasting at Putaly Winery
- Explore the Old Split
- Walk down the famous Split’s riva
- It is you last night – So eat at some fancy place or party till sunrise
HAPPY CLIENTS AND PARTNERS
We had a great week with Blaz he really looked after us. Blaz was very professional, calm and respectful of the space we needed as a family onboard the catamaran. We felt the catamaran was ours. The route was well planned and thought out with in-out from all of us. Places we stopped for swimming were quiet and we often arrived before other boats to secure the best spot. Restaurants were in prime position and always had the best tables secured for our group. Prices were reasonable and in line with our budget. Blaz went that extra mile by getting up early and sailing whilst we slept to ensure we kept to a good timetable and saw as much as possible. The catamaran itself was spacious and had everything we needed. We felt safe an secure and confident that Blaz was looking out for us and safety was number 1 priority when securing the catamaran in bays and ports. Highly recommend Blaz to any group looking for a professional and very competent skipper who want a well-managed sailing experience whilst feeling very private and family focussed.
The boat and crew were fantastic, being able to visit the islands and see the little villages was amazing, we also had a great crowd on board from various countries who were all very friendly, would recommend this cruise, and will go again in the future.
This was one of the greatest trips we have ever had! It was our first time on a sailing trip and everything was perfect. Miha was very quick and clear to communicate when making the booking and provided detailed booking information. In terms of value it was well worth the money. And finally our Skipper Igor was excellent! He was extremely professional and provided a very safe sailing experience whilst also taking us to some amazing places that we would never have heard of otherwise. We have enjoyed some of the best food and wine in our lives and Croatia is such a beautiful place. Thank you to Miha, Igor and everyone else involved.
Croatia is one of the most beautiful country I have ever visited, not to mention Active Cruise went above and beyond with making our experience the best it possibly could have been! Skipper Igor gave us the best Croatian experience I could have ever imagined for. We had the most fun week.

Trip of a lifetime! From start to finish a fabulous experience. Clear, quick communication during booking and check in. We stayed on the Lagoon 42 catamaran and loved everything about it. Originally we looked to book the Lagoon 39 but it was already booked so the Lagoon 42 was offered to us. So glad we went up in size after seeing the two side by side in the marina. Brand new boat this season and it was in excellent condition. Our Skipper Nick made our trip! Although he was on the younger side, he was very knowledgeable and also kept on top of weather leaving us feeling completely safe in his hands. Also, his route, restaurant and activity recommendations were spot on. He was fun yet respectful. A great person to spend a week of our vacation with. The islands theirselves were amazing. A perfect balance of activity and downtime from spending nights anchored out in a quiet bay, or an evening in a harbor exploring one of the many towns, snorkeling, SUP, island activities and just downtime for a glass of wine out on the front of the boat at sunset. We had a mix in our group of boaters and non boater and everyone came away loving their trip. We will definitely be back! Cheers!
Just to give you a feedback on our cruise, we had a great time thanks to Blaze who is a very good skipper nice and gentle. Thanks to his knowledge of Croatian island we have seen marvelous landscapes, bays and had very good time and food in all restaurants, and I think it was the same for him.
Just a note to thank you for a lovely week on Mala Kate with Igor. All the arrangements worked well and we were pleased how soon Igor was able to pick us up from Zaton last Sunday – we know he put in a massive effort to sail through most of the night and we really appreciate it! The boat was great and very luxurious – it was everything we had hoped for and just as you described it. The wifi was very strong which the girls appreciated and the luxury extras were very welcome.
As for Igor, he was a fantastic skipper, host and guide. It was a pleasure chatting with him about his sailing adventures and having him join us for dinner at some of his favorite restaurants. We always felt safe and comfortable under his professional eyes, and he looked after the boat very well. We would happily recommend Active Cruises, Mala Kate and Igor to anybody thinking of a chartered cruise, and hope to return again in the future.
A fantastic week that exceeded expectations! The Catamaran was perfect as we spent the week with an awesome bunch of people and all had a great time. Skipper was great and the excursions super fun. Highlight of our trip to Dalmatia!
We are back in Israel… even the 120 stairs we had to climb in Dubrovnik’s old city to arrive to our rooms, packed with 4 pieces of luggage and 5 super excited girls couldn’t take the smile out of our faces. We just had an amazing time on the boat. It was much above our expectations and you two just played a huge role in our successful holidays. Your patience and kindness with the kids meant a lot to us. All our needs were anticipated so we could just relax and enjoy. We are seriously thinking of renewing the experience next year.
Igor was a FANTASTIC skipper to have on board and we had so much fun getting to know him! He showed us some amazing spots, let us learn as much as we wanted sailing, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. We can’t imagine a better fit for our family, the trip wouldn’t have been the same with anyone else! Thank you Miha for the quick responses to all of our questions leading up and making the booking process so simple. Would 100% recommend!
Miha- just wanted to let you know that the boat is perfect and Igor has been amazing! Just what we needed to relax and enjoy this beautiful country. Thank you. Kate and family
