The route

About this week

Family Route Croatia is perfect for families who want relaxed days at sea without long sailing hours. We sail around two to three hours a day, giving you plenty of time for swimming, exploring charming coastal towns, and enjoying easy afternoons at anchor.

The route combines peaceful bays with lively little cities, quiet bays and small towns in the same week: safe swimming for kids, ice cream in the evening, and a still sunset for the adults. We avoid long passages and busy marinas whenever possible, focusing instead on comfort, flexibility, and a smooth, enjoyable rhythm.

Each stop is carefully chosen according to the weather, always with safety and convenience in mind. It’s an easy, stress-free way to explore the coast together and create memories the whole family will love.

Your week on the water

A sample plan. The order and the stops can change with the forecast.

  1. Start
    Waterfront cityscape at sunset, with historic buildings, palm trees, and a bell tower reflected in calm water under a colorful sky with orange and purple hues.

    Start in Trogir

    Timeless sailing hub where history meets the sea. This UNESCO-listed town combines quiet charm with easy access to nearby islands and sheltered bays. Its calm waters and well-protected marina make it a good starting point for the Adriatic, whether you want quiet coves or busy coastal towns.

  2. Stop 1
    Aerial view of a turquoise bay with clear water, sandy beaches, lush green forests, and several Lagoon 46 sailboats anchored near the shore.

    Trogir → Blue Lagoon, Drvenik~7 nm~1 h sailing

    Blue Lagoon on Drvenik: A Sailor’s Paradise

    The Blue Lagoon on Drvenik Island is one of the Adriatic’s most beautiful anchorages. Its shallow, turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, surrounded by quiet coves and unspoiled nature. It can get busy on Saturdays, but if you start on Friday the lagoon is almost empty. Calm water, and you have it to yourself.

  3. Stop 2

    Blue Lagoon, Drvenik → Budikovac, Vis~28 nm~3 h 45 sailing

    Budikovac or Vis city: A Tranquil Gem of Vis

    Budikovac, just off the island of Vis, is a quiet anchorage surrounded by clear water, rocky cliffs, and untouched nature. It’s a peaceful spot to anchor, swim, and unwind away from the crowds. With its calm atmosphere and simple beauty, Budikovac is a perfect stop for anyone seeking a genuine sense of serenity on the Adriatic.

With no marinas or crowds, Zarace is perfect for tranquil anchoring and peaceful exploration. Enjoy a slice of paradise where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty and charm of Hvar’s less-traveled shores.

  5. Stop 4

    Zarače, Hvar → Stari Grad, Hvar~19 nm~3 h sailing

    Hvar Stari Grad

    Stari Grad is a calm and welcoming stop for families on Hvar. The harbor is well protected, the town is small and easy to explore, and everything is within a short walk. Kids can swim in clear, quiet bays nearby, while parents enjoy relaxed evenings in the old stone streets. There are small cafés, simple restaurants, and plenty of space for an easy stroll along the waterfront. It’s peaceful, safe, and slower. A good family evening off the boat.

It’s a perfect mix of beach time, simple fun, and that relaxed island feeling families love.
