Experience the ultimate Adriatic sailing adventure with a 7-day bareboat charter that takes you from the historic Marina Rogač to the breathtaking islands of Brač, Hvar, and Vis. This sailing route blends natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern charm, offering a perfect escape for sailors who crave autonomy and authentic coastal exploration. With steady breezes, calm waters, and richly historic ports, this voyage promises both relaxation and inspiration as you navigate the crystalline Dalmatian Sea.

Day 1 begins from Marina Rogač, the oldest coastal town on Šolta Island. After provisioning and check-in, your first leg takes you across the Brač Channel to Milna, a picturesque harbor village on Brač Island. Surrounded by pine trees and stone houses, Milna’s 17th-century baroque church and two marinas-ACI Milna and Marina Vlaška-welcome sailors with open arms. Spend your afternoon strolling the coastal promenade or hiking up for a panoramic view of the bay. End your evening savoring fresh seafood at a local konoba while the soft waves lap the stone quay.

Day 2 starts with a morning sail south along Brač’s rugged coastline, making a memorable stop in Blaca Bay. A short hike through a shaded forest trail takes you to the incredible Blaca Monastery, a historic hermitage nestled into the cliffs. After exploring, continue sailing to Bol, home of Croatia’s most iconic beach-Zlatni Rat. Take a refreshing swim, visit the Dominican Monastery, or stroll the town’s art galleries before cruising to Stari Grad on Hvar Island. As one of Europe’s oldest towns, Stari Grad enchants visitors with Renaissance buildings, cobbled alleys, and the storied summer residence of poet Petar Hektorović, known as Tvrdalj.

Day 3 carries you from Stari Grad to the dazzling Paklinski Islands. Anchor in one of the quiet coves or secure a berth at ACI Marina Palmižana, set within a peaceful bay of Klement Island. This area is known for its lush pine forests, sparkling beaches, and easy access to Hvar Town, just a short dinghy ride away. Choose your pace-enjoy a day of tranquility in Palmižana or indulge in Hvar’s historic sites and renowned nightlife before returning to your boat beneath the stars.

On Day 4, cruise toward Vis, one of the Adriatic’s most mysterious and beautiful islands. As you approach, stop at the islet of Budikovac or visit the Green Cave on Ravnik Island, where sunlight illuminates the turquoise waters in ethereal green hues. Then continue to Komiža, a charming fishing village with deep Venetian roots. Wander through narrow alleyways, visit the local fishing museum, or simply enjoy the rustic seaside charm and a dinner of freshly caught Adriatic fish.

Day 5 leads you from Komiža to the neighboring island of Biševo, home of the magical Blue Cave. The radiant blue light created by sunlight bouncing through the underwater entrance offers a once-in-a-lifetime visual spectacle. After your visit, return to Vis for a quiet evening exploring its Greek and Roman ruins, enjoying dinner under the stars in a secluded bay, or docked comfortably in town.

On Day 6, your yacht glides northeast back toward Šolta, anchoring in Maslinica Bay. This protected anchorage is lined with islets and framed by the elegant Baroque Martinis Marchi Castle. Visit the castle-turned-hotel, stroll the waterfront, or escape to nearby Šešula Bay for a secluded swim. It’s an ideal place to wind down your adventure in peaceful surroundings with views of the sun dipping behind the horizon.

Day 7 marks your final passage with a stop at Krknjaši Bay, often referred to as the "Blue Lagoon." Located between Veli Drvenik and Krknjaš Islet, this spot is perfect for a morning swim and reflection on your journey. From here, make your return to Marina Rogač by late afternoon, completing a route filled with history, nature, and unforgettable coastal charm.
