Embark on a captivating sailing expedition through the heart of the Dalmatian coast aboard the Oceanis 50, departing from Marina Rogač. This 7-day bareboat itinerary is perfect for those looking to balance relaxation, cultural exploration, and sailing adventure. Sail through the famed islands of Brač, Hvar, Vis, and Šolta-each with its distinct charm, history, and hidden bays. Designed for independent sailors, this itinerary offers you the flexibility to discover Croatia’s island jewels at your own rhythm, from tranquil pine-scented coves to ancient coastal towns.

Day 1 starts with a gentle sail from Marina Rogač to Stipanska Bay on the west coast of Brač. Known for its wind-protected anchorage and serene surroundings, it is a peaceful haven ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and your first night under the stars. The surrounding pine forest adds to the secluded ambiance, and you can explore nearby Osibova Bay for an alternative mooring with a similar tranquil appeal.

Day 2 is packed with exploration. After lifting anchor, cruise along the southern Brač coastline to Blaca Bay, where you can hike to the secluded Blaca Monastery, once inhabited by monks seeking solitude in the cliffs. Continue on to Bol to see Zlatni Rat beach, one of Croatia’s most photographed natural wonders. Later, cross the channel to Hvar Island and stop at Žukova Bay before heading into the ancient port of Stari Grad for the night. This historic town features Roman ruins, Venetian buildings, and the famous Renaissance estate Tvrdalj Petar Hektorović.

On Day 3, cruise further east to the Paklinski Islands and anchor at ACI Marina Palmižana on Klement Island. This bay is surrounded by pine trees and botanical gardens, providing a calm, scenic overnight stay. If you’re in the mood for liveliness, take a short dinghy ride into Hvar Town to explore the fortress, cathedral, or enjoy a vibrant night out. For those seeking solitude, Palmižana’s peaceful beaches offer a perfect retreat.

Day 4 takes you across open waters to the rugged beauty of Vis. Begin your visit in Komiža, a historic fishing town with winding alleyways and views of the 12th-century St. Nicholas Monastery. Visit the town’s fishing museum or savor a traditional komiška pogača (sardine pie). Weather permitting, Rukavac Bay offers an alternative protected mooring point on the island’s southern coast.

Day 5 is an exploration of natural wonders. Begin with a short sail to Biševo and tour the Blue Cave, where the reflection of sunlight transforms the cavern into a glowing blue sanctuary. Continue to nearby Stiniva Bay, a dramatic cove surrounded by cliffs that offers ideal conditions for swimming and snorkeling. Visit the Green Cave on Ravnik Island and the turquoise lagoon of Budikovac before returning to the town of Vis for a calm evening.

Day 6 marks your journey back toward Šolta, where you’ll drop anchor at Šešula Bay. Enclosed by greenery and well protected from northern winds, the bay is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and a final taste of Croatia’s quiet coastal charm. The popular “Šišmiš” restaurant offers local delicacies with panoramic sea views, while the nearby village of Maslinica invites exploration on foot.

Day 7 concludes with a stop at Krknjaši Bay, famed for its strikingly clear waters and sandy seabed. A swim here is the perfect sendoff before returning to Marina Rogač. Spend your last few hours soaking in the Adriatic’s shimmering blue, reminiscing about a journey through history, nature, and unforgettable island life.
