Day 1: Begin your journey from Marina Rogač on Šolta Island with an afternoon check-in. After completing the boarding procedures and safety checks, set sail for the nearby island of Brač, heading specifically for the quaint harbor town of Milna. After an easy 8.2-nautical-mile crossing, arrive at this historic town known for its stone houses, baroque church, and scenic promenades. You can choose to dock in ACI Marina Milna or the quieter Marina Vlaška. Spend the evening walking along the coastal promenade or savoring seafood at a traditional konoba.

Day 2: Depart from Milna and sail along the southern coast of Brač toward Blaca Bay. Here, drop anchor and take a scenic hike to the famous Blaca Monastery-a historic stone hermitage built by 15th-century monks. Resume your sail along the coast to Bol, home to the iconic Zlatni Rat beach, whose white pebble shores shift shape with the currents. Enjoy beachside cafes, visit the Dominican monastery, or swim in crystal-clear waters before setting sail again for Stari Grad on Hvar. Anchored in the ancient town of Faros, wander the historic center and explore the Tvrdalj castle built by Renaissance poet Petar Hektorović.

Day 3: Cruise to the nearby Paklinski Islands and find a mooring in Palmižana Bay on Klement Island. This bay is popular for its lush vegetation, vibrant art galleries, and tranquil waters. Spend the day hiking the island’s trails, lounging on the beaches, or taking a short dinghy ride into the town of Hvar. Those interested in nightlife can explore Hvar’s legendary bars, while others may enjoy a quiet evening beneath the stars in the serene Palmižana surroundings.

Day 4: Sail 20 nautical miles toward the rugged and historic island of Vis. Begin with a visit to the main town of Vis, where remnants of Roman baths and Venetian palaces await. After a brief stop, continue toward Komiža on the western side of the island. This fishing village exudes charm with its pastel-colored buildings, old churches, and stone alleyways. Along the way, anchor near Budikovac Island or visit the Green Cave on Ravnik Islet-both perfect for a mid-day swim or snorkel. End your day with dinner in Komiža’s harbor under a backdrop of glowing cliffs.

Day 5: Depart Komiža early and chart a short course to Biševo Island to visit the famous Blue Cave. Arrive mid-morning to catch the magical reflection of sunlight turning the interior waters neon blue. After this mesmerizing experience, head back toward the island of Vis. Visit Stiniva Bay, nestled between two towering cliffs, for a secluded swim. Spend the afternoon anchored in Vis town where you can visit archaeological museums or enjoy a sunset cocktail in a harbor café.

Day 6: Make your way back toward Šolta, covering 20.6 nautical miles to reach Maslinica Bay. This peaceful anchorage is sheltered by a group of islets, offering calm waters and breathtaking sunsets. Explore the waterfront castle now operating as a boutique hotel, or dine al fresco at a marina restaurant. If you prefer solitude, sail a short distance to Šešula Bay for the night.

Day 7: Your final leg is a relaxing 9.6-nautical-mile sail toward Krknjaši Bay-famed for its calm turquoise waters and sandy seabed. Take a final swim or snorkel session before sailing back to Marina Rogač by late afternoon. Your unforgettable voyage concludes with disembarkation the following morning.
