Start your voyage from the ultra-modern Marina Baotić in Seget Donji. Located just a few kilometers from Split Airport and near the UNESCO-protected town of Trogir, this marina offers everything needed for provisioning, route planning, and last-minute assistance. With technical support, dining options, and secure facilities, it ensures a smooth departure and return experience for all guests.

Day 1: Following your 17:00h check-in and briefing, sail to Biograd na Moru. Once a royal Croatian city, Biograd today is a bustling seaside destination with a rich maritime legacy. Its charming old town, lively promenade, and picturesque marina offer a warm welcome. Spend the evening exploring local shops or enjoying a seafood feast in a traditional konoba along the seafront.

Day 2: Navigate northward toward Island Ugljan, known as the “Green Island” due to its dense olive groves and pine forests. Drop anchor near the quaint fishing village of Preko. Hike to the top of St. Michael’s Fortress for panoramic views over Zadar’s archipelago. Cool off in quiet bays with crystal-clear waters or explore local churches and hidden pathways that reveal the island’s authentic Dalmatian charm.

Day 3: Set your course for Telašćica Nature Park, a haven of biodiversity and dramatic landscapes. Located on Dugi Otok island, the park is home to imposing cliffs, calm inlets, and the surreal saltwater lake Mir. Activities include kayaking across tranquil waters, hiking to scenic vantage points above sea-carved cliffs, and swimming in the therapeutic lake. Dine al fresco aboard your catamaran or indulge in a rustic seafood dinner in a secluded local konoba.

Day 4: Depart Telašćica early for the historic city of Zadar. With roots stretching back to Roman times, Zadar is a vibrant blend of antiquity and innovation. Stroll through its Roman Forum, visit the circular Church of St. Donatus, and stay for the sunset at the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun installations-a sensory experience unique to the city. The cobbled alleys offer artisan shops, gelaterias, and lively cafés for a delightful evening ashore.

Day 5: Continue your journey to the serene town of Novigrad, tucked into a deep inlet surrounded by hills. Known for its medieval fortress and tranquil atmosphere, Novigrad offers opportunities for kayaking in its sheltered bay, walking along the serene promenade, and sampling oysters and mussels harvested fresh from nearby waters. It's a peaceful retreat after the livelier pace of Zadar.

Day 6: Make your way to the island of Pag, famous for its stark moon-like landscapes, centuries-old salt pans, and culinary treasures such as Pag cheese and handmade lace. Visit the saltworks to understand the island’s historic salt trade, explore the Venetian-era walls and watchtowers, and tour a local cheese factory to taste the island’s award-winning dairy products. Relax on pristine beaches before anchoring in a calm bay for the night.

Day 7: Begin your return voyage with a 6–7 hour sail back toward Marina Baotić. Use this leg to relax onboard, enjoy the Adriatic’s expansive views, and take advantage of any hidden coves along the route for one last swim.
