The route

About this week

Split Dubrovnik Route is ideal for those who enjoy longer days under sail and a more dynamic journey along the Adriatic. Expect several hours of open-water sailing each day, making it a great choice for experienced guests or anyone who wants to cover more distance while still enjoying island stops, secluded coves and the beauty of the Croatian coast.

Not the best first Croatia week. If it is your first trip, stay in Dubrovnik before or after the cruise instead of making the whole route one-way. The taxi transfer between Split and Dubrovnik takes only about three hours, making travel easy in either direction.

Along the way, you’ll visit some of Croatia’s most stunning islands and coastal towns, balancing busy stops with quiet anchorages. A route for people who like longer days under sail.

Stop by stop

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 → Pakleni islands~21 nm~3 h sailing

    Hidden beaches and deserted lagoons of the Pakleni Otoci

    The Pakleni islands are one of the loveliest stretches of Hvar: a chain of wooded islets in clear water, with quiet coves in between. Scattered with hidden beaches, sunlit stone terraces, and tranquil lagoons, they truly feel like a piece of paradise within reach.

  4. Stop 3

    Pakleni islands → Hvar~3 nm~30 min sailing

    Hvar – A Unique Blend of Mediterranean Beauty and Heritage

    Hvar is a vibrant mix of history, culture, and seaside charm. Climb up to the fortress for breathtaking views of the town and nearby islands, then explore its 13th-century walls and lively old square. Spend the afternoon at Hula Hula or Laganini Beach Bar, enjoy fine dining in one of Hvar’s top restaurants, or relax on board. Beyond the town, discover lavender fields, vineyards, and the island’s rich UNESCO heritage.

  5. Stop 4
    Aerial view of a small, lush green island surrounded by blue water, with Lagoon 51 sailboats anchored nearby and a coastal village nestled among hills in the background.

    Hvar → Lastovo~36 nm~4 h 15 sailing

    Lastovo: where time stands still

    Lastovo is one of the most remote inhabited islands in Croatia, and it feels like it. The whole archipelago is a nature park, with clear water, quiet coves and some of the darkest night skies in the Adriatic. Walk up to Lastovo town for its old stone houses and tall chimneys, then come back to a slow dinner by the water. Few boats make it this far, which is exactly the point.
  6. Stop 5
    Aerial view of a coastal town with red-roofed buildings, surrounded by clear blue water and green hills, with mountains in the background.

    Lastovo → Korčula~26 nm~3 h 30 sailing

    Korčula Vela Luka & Old Town

    Korčula, the sixth-largest Adriatic island, is known for its vineyards, olive groves, and charming stone villages. Once called Korkyra Melaina (“Black Korčula”) by the Greeks for its dense forests, the island offers quiet coves, sandy beaches, and a laid-back atmosphere.

    The old town of Korčula, set on the island’s northeastern tip, is one of the best-kept medieval towns on the Adriatic. People compare it to a smaller, quieter Dubrovnik. Visit Marco Polo’s birthplace, explore local culture, cycle through vineyards, and wander the island’s timeless streets.

  7. Stop 6
    A large stone monastery with a tower sits on a lush, tree-covered island surrounded by clear blue water under a sunny, cloudless sky. Boats are docked along the shoreline.

    Korčula → Mljet~17 nm~2 h 30 sailing

    Mljet: where forest meets the sea

    Mljet is one of the Adriatic’s most peaceful and unspoiled islands, covered in dense pine forests and surrounded by crystal-clear waters. The island’s national park, with its two saltwater lakes and a small monastery on St. Mary’s Island, offers a perfect mix of nature and serenity. Ideal for swimming, kayaking, biking, or simply relaxing in quiet bays, Mljet is a true escape into untouched beauty.
  8. Finish

    Mljet → Dubrovnik~38 nm~4 h 30 sailing

    Dubrovnik

    The last leg takes you to Dubrovnik, with a swim stop on the way when the weather allows.
