Weekly Skippered Sailing Charter: Explore the Islands of North Dalmatia aboard Bavaria C50 from Bilice Port, Croatia

Discover the magic of the Adriatic with a 7-day skippered sailing charter departing from Bilice Port, Croatia. Perfect for those who crave a fusion of nature, culture, and luxury, this unforgettable voyage blends iconic island destinations with charming coastal towns. Cruise through turquoise waters aboard the spacious and well-appointed Bavaria C50 yacht, enjoying a handpicked itinerary designed to inspire awe at every anchorage.

Start your journey from the calm and well-connected Bilice Port, just outside the historic town of Šibenik. After boarding the yacht and completing your welcome briefing, the remainder of the day is free to explore Šibenik’s highlights. From the UNESCO-listed St. James Cathedral to the well-preserved Barone Fortress, this medieval town offers the perfect introduction to Croatia’s rich maritime heritage. Enjoy dinner at a waterside tavern before your first overnight stay aboard.

Day 2 begins with a scenic sail to Primošten, a postcard-worthy town perched on a small peninsula. Once an island, it’s now connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. Wander the narrow cobbled streets, admire the 15th-century Church of St. George, and sip local Babić wine from the surrounding vineyards. After a swim at one of the town’s inviting beaches, dock overnight at Marina Kremik, nestled in a quiet bay just outside the old town.

Day 3 transports you to the stunning Blue Lagoon near Krknjaš Veli Island. Known for its glowing turquoise waters and white seabed, this hidden gem invites hours of carefree swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Drop anchor in this peaceful haven, enjoy a leisurely onboard lunch, and take advantage of the yacht’s paddleboards or acoustic guitar as you unwind to the gentle rhythm of the sea. Overnight at anchor offers an unmatched stargazing opportunity.

Day 4 brings a longer sail to the remote island of Vis, one of the Adriatic’s least developed yet most captivating destinations. Dock at Komiža, a charming fishing village at the foot of Hum Hill, where rustic stone houses line the waterfront. Visit the 16th-century Venetian fortress, take a short ride to the legendary Blue Cave on nearby Biševo Island, and dine on local delicacies such as octopus peka or freshly caught sea bass in a seaside konoba.

Day 5 heads to St. Klement Island, part of the pristine Pakleni archipelago. Your destination is Marina Palmižana, a lush botanical paradise filled with tropical plants, art galleries, and gourmet dining. Wander the shaded paths, swim in hidden coves, or relax at one of the island’s chic open-air lounges. This stop perfectly blends serenity and elegance, with the added convenience of top-tier marina services.

Day 6 is all about tranquil charm on Šolta Island. Sail to Maslinica, a fishing village that remains untouched by mass tourism. This gem is framed by olive groves and dramatic cliffs. Spend the day cycling along coastal trails, visiting 18th-century castles, or simply enjoying a slow-paced lunch at a konoba by the harbor. As the sun sets, soak in the peaceful ambiance and prepare for your final day.

Day 7 offers a gentle return sail to Šibenik. Choose to stop in a nearby bay for a last swim in the inviting Adriatic waters before docking at Bilice Port. Enjoy a farewell brunch onboard, pack your memories, and take a final stroll through Šibenik’s bustling waterfront before disembarkation.
