Weekly Bareboat Sailing Charter – Dalmatian Wonders aboard Beneteau Oceanis 54 from Marina Baotić, Croatia

Discover the timeless allure of Croatia’s Dalmatian coast aboard the sleek and luxurious Beneteau Oceanis 54, departing from the premier Marina Baotić in Seget Donji. This self-skippered bareboat sailing charter offers seasoned sailors the ultimate opportunity to chart their own course through one of the world’s most captivating sailing regions. With steady breezes, sheltered anchorages, and world-class marinas, the Adriatic is both accessible and breathtaking, providing the ideal backdrop for your week-long maritime escape.

This charter begins at Marina Baotić, a modern full-service facility near Split, known for its accessibility, provisioning options, and relaxed coastal ambiance. From here, you’ll set off on a curated route that follows in the footsteps of ancient Roman emperors, seafarers, and noblemen. This itinerary weaves together history, stunning natural landscapes, charming harbors, and authentic Dalmatian culinary experiences.

Once you’ve checked in at Marina Baotić and stocked provisions, you’ll begin your journey with a short sail to the island of Šolta. This lesser-known island offers hidden coves, olive groves, and the tranquil village of Maslinica where you can drop anchor for the night. Stroll the stone streets and indulge in your first taste of local cuisine at a traditional seaside konoba.

In the morning, navigate toward the enchanting island of Biševo to experience the Blue Grotto, a natural sea cave glowing with ethereal blue light. After this magical stop, continue your journey to Stari Grad on Hvar Island. This UNESCO-listed town is one of the oldest settlements in Europe, famed for its historic Stari Grad Plain and elegant promenade. Enjoy a leisurely evening exploring its romantic alleyways and sipping wine from local vineyards.

The next leg of your journey leads you back to the mainland and into Split, a dynamic port city built around the palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian. Dock in the bustling harbor and take time to walk the palace corridors, enjoy panoramic views from the bell tower of St. Domnius, or browse vibrant markets. The city's mix of ancient stonework and lively nightlife makes it a true highlight of your voyage.

Leave Split behind and follow the spectacular coastline south to Makarska, nestled at the foot of the Biokovo mountain range. Its dramatic scenery is rivaled only by its welcoming atmosphere. Relax on its popular pebble beaches, enjoy watersports, or explore nearby hiking trails in Biokovo Nature Park. In the evening, the promenade comes alive with cafes and music along the waterfront.

Shortly after sunrise, sail north to Omiš, a town steeped in pirate legends and perched beside the Cetina River. Adventurous spirits can try zip-lining across the river canyon or take part in rafting excursions through dramatic cliffs. Climb up to Mirabella Fortress for stunning views of the coastline before dining on hearty Dalmatian specialties, including the famed slow-cooked peka dish.

Continue your cultural exploration with a voyage to Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a rich blend of Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Wander through its preserved medieval streets, admire the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, and relax along the Riva with a view of historic sailing vessels. Trogir is also ideal for boutique shopping and intimate dining by the sea.

Spend your final morning enjoying a swim in one of the nearby hidden bays before completing the short sail back to Marina Baotić. Take this opportunity to reflect on the incredible memories created throughout your voyage. A celebratory dinner in Trogir’s Old Town is the perfect send-off for your unforgettable journey.

Disembarkation takes place by 09:00h on Saturday, marking the conclusion of your Adriatic sailing adventure.
