Step aboard the Hanse 548 for a weekly bareboat charter that unravels the timeless beauty of Dalmatia. This is not just a sailing journey-it’s an immersive passage through millennia of Mediterranean history, natural beauty, and local traditions. Designed for confident sailors seeking ultimate freedom, the “Dalmatian Wonders” itinerary offers a diverse and enriching experience through some of Croatia’s most iconic UNESCO-listed towns, secret coves, and coastal gems. Whether you're drawn to ancient palaces, blue caves, or sun-soaked beaches, this charter is a perfectly balanced blend of cultural discovery, adventure, and relaxation-all from the helm of one of the finest sailing yachts in its class.

Your adventure sets sail from Marina Baotić, Seget Donji, a premium marina near Trogir. Its modern facilities, including provisioning stores, fueling stations, and private parking, offer a seamless beginning to your bareboat adventure. After check-in on Saturday at 17:00h, you’ll begin your journey into the heart of Dalmatia's heritage-rich coast.

Day 1: Begin with a gentle cruise to Šolta, a lesser-known yet breathtaking island. Anchoring in Maslinica reveals a postcard-worthy fishing village framed by olive groves and aquamarine waters. The tranquil harbor invites you to relax and settle in with a traditional Dalmatian dinner at a rustic konoba while the sun dips over the Adriatic.

Day 2: Head southwest toward Biševo Island, home to the famed Blue Grotto. Around midday, the sea cave reveals a magical natural light show as sunlight filters through the water, illuminating the grotto in glowing blue. Continue onward to Stari Grad on Hvar Island, one of the oldest towns in Europe. This UNESCO-protected site is rich in Greek agricultural heritage, visible across the Stari Grad Plain. Enjoy a serene evening walking the promenade or tasting local Hvar wines in a cozy cellar.

Day 3: From Hvar, sail toward Croatia’s second-largest city, Split. Drop anchor near the harbor and explore Diocletian’s Palace, a sprawling complex that once housed a Roman emperor. Its labyrinthine alleys are filled with charming cafés, artisan boutiques, and Roman ruins at every corner. Climb the Bell Tower of St. Domnius for commanding views, or enjoy a cocktail in Bajamonti Square as the city pulses around you.

Day 4: Continue south along the Biokovo coastline to Makarska, framed by pebble beaches on one side and towering mountains on the other. The town is a popular yet scenic destination, ideal for beach lovers and hikers alike. Spend your afternoon lounging on Makarska’s beaches or venture into Biokovo Nature Park for panoramic views of the sea. Evening brings a lively atmosphere with waterfront restaurants and buzzing bars along the promenade.

Day 5: Sail up the coast to the charming pirate town of Omiš. Once a stronghold of corsairs, Omiš lies where the Cetina River meets the sea. Here, you can embrace your adventurous side with optional zip-lining over the river canyon or white-water rafting down the crystal-clear rapids. Explore the old town and hike to Mirabella Fortress, where sweeping views reward your effort. Dinner is best enjoyed with a traditional peka, slow-cooked under an iron bell.

Day 6: Begin your return journey with a stop in Trogir. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts one of the best-preserved medieval cores in Europe. Meander through narrow alleys, visit the magnificent Cathedral of St. Lawrence, and climb the Kamerlengo Fortress for panoramic views. Trogir’s old-world charm blends beautifully with its laid-back waterfront vibe, making it a perfect penultimate stop.

Day 7: Enjoy a slow morning in Trogir, then return to Marina Baotić for your final night. A swim stop in a nearby bay adds a refreshing finale to your voyage. Spend the evening enjoying a farewell dinner in the heart of Trogir, savoring local dishes such as grilled fish, octopus salad, and maraschino-infused desserts beneath the glow of historic stone walls.

Day 8: Disembark at 09:00h, taking with you memories of a charter that seamlessly intertwined history, coastal adventure, and Mediterranean elegance.
