Weekly Bareboat Sailing Charter: From Rogač to Dubrovnik - A Journey Through Croatia’s Islands

Discover the ultimate Adriatic voyage on a 7-day bareboat sailing charter that begins in Rogač and concludes in the iconic city of Dubrovnik. Designed for experienced sailors seeking complete autonomy, this route winds through a chain of Croatia’s most breathtaking islands, each brimming with history, culture, and natural beauty. Aboard the Lagoon 450F, you'll navigate crystal-clear waters, anchor in hidden bays, and soak up the Mediterranean charm that defines the Dalmatian Coast.

Day 1 marks your departure from Marina Rogač on Šolta Island. Set your course west to Maslinica, a quaint harbor village embraced by six islets. Wander through its cobbled lanes, dine beside the historic Martinis Marchi Castle, and take in views of the Baroque marina lined with stone architecture. For those seeking ancient ruins, the islet of Stipanska nearby features remains of a 5th-century basilica-ideal for history enthusiasts. Spend your first evening enjoying seafood by the water as the sky paints itself in Adriatic hues.

Day 2 brings a longer but rewarding passage to the legendary island of Vis. As you sail for roughly four hours, you'll arrive to discover an island once closed to tourism, now preserving authentic charm and naval history. Stroll through Vis town and explore Renaissance churches, palaces, and the archaeological site of Issa-the earliest urban center in Croatia. Visit the twin fortresses of Velintun and Fortica for panoramic views before enjoying a peaceful evening moored at the town quay.

Day 3 sets your compass south toward Lastovo, a hidden gem among Croatia’s islands. Designated as a Nature Park, Lastovo is celebrated for its pristine waters, abundant marine life, and charming villages. Anchor in Zaklopatica Bay and dive into warm waters or hike to the hilltop village for local wine tasting and traditional hospitality. The untouched beauty and serenity of Lastovo make it a favorite among experienced cruisers.

Day 4 brings you to the fortified island of Korčula, steeped in medieval splendor and culture. Often called “Little Dubrovnik,” Korčula’s old town is a labyrinth of stone streets, towers, and Renaissance buildings. Visit the Cathedral of St. Mark, enjoy a performance of the traditional Moreška sword dance, and tour the alleged birthplace of Marco Polo. The vineyards of Lumbarda nearby offer a chance to taste local Grk or Pošip wines. Moor at ACI Marina or Luka Banja for a tranquil overnight stay.

Day 5 leads you to Mljet, home to one of Croatia’s most beloved national parks. Known for its dense forests, saltwater lakes, and serene walking paths, Mljet is a haven for nature lovers. Kayak across Lake Veliko, cycle to the Benedictine monastery on St. Mary Island, or simply enjoy the island’s quiet rhythm. Polače Bay offers a peaceful anchorage with sweeping views, making it an ideal spot to relax under the stars after a day of outdoor exploration.

Day 6 sails toward the Elaphiti Islands, stopping at Šipan-the largest of the group. A peaceful refuge away from crowds, Šipan is dotted with olive groves, ancient villas, and hilltop churches. Walk through Suđurađ village, visit the 16th-century Rector’s Palace, or dine in a konoba where fresh Adriatic seafood pairs with local olive oil and wine. The calm anchorage ensures a restful night before your final voyage into the heart of Croatia’s most famous city.

Day 7 brings your journey to a grand finale in Dubrovnik. After a short sail, dock at ACI Marina Dubrovnik and take a transfer to the Old Town. Walk along the iconic city walls, explore Orlando’s Column and Rector’s Palace, or visit the 14th-century Franciscan Monastery. From the baroque churches to the dramatic views over the sea, Dubrovnik captivates at every turn. Wrap up your week with a celebratory dinner overlooking the Stradun, reflecting on the rich tapestry of islands, cultures, and landscapes that have shaped your unforgettable Adriatic sailing adventure.
