Weekly Skippered Sailing Charter: Discover Šibenik, Vis, Palmižana, Brač & Primošten aboard Bavaria C50 from Bilice Port, Croatia

Set off on an unforgettable 7-day skippered sailing experience from Bilice Port, Croatia, as you explore the untouched wonders of the North Dalmatian islands aboard our elegant Bavaria C50 sailing yacht. This adventure offers the perfect balance of luxury, cultural immersion, and natural exploration as you cruise through serene archipelagos and charming coastal towns. With a professional skipper guiding the journey, you'll enjoy a seamless experience designed for comfort, flexibility, and discovery.

Your voyage begins at the tranquil Bilice Port, just outside of Šibenik. This lesser-known embarkation point offers quick access to the magnificent Dalmatian coast while providing a peaceful alternative to more crowded marinas. After a warm welcome and detailed safety briefing, your crew sets course for Šibenik, one of Croatia’s most captivating cities, brimming with historic character. Spend your evening wandering the narrow stone streets, visiting the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, and enjoying dinner in a traditional konoba along the waterfront.

Day 2 takes you to the car-free island of Kaprije, a hidden jewel of the Adriatic. As you sail across calm waters, the surrounding archipelagos offer postcard-worthy views. Once docked, you’re invited to explore the island’s olive groves, hike to the hilltop at Vielka Glavica for stunning panoramic vistas, or snorkel in the clear shallows around the island. A guided wine and olive oil tasting is a perfect prelude to an alfresco seafood dinner beneath the stars.

Day 3 is devoted to the wild beauty of Piškera Island and Kornati National Park. With its lunar-like terrain and crystalline waters, this archipelago is a sanctuary for sailors. Dock at ACI Piškera Marina, nestled in one of the most remote corners of the Kornati chain. Spend the day swimming, hiking, and exploring old fishermen’s hamlets before settling in for an unforgettable stargazing session from your anchored yacht.

Day 4 brings you to Dugi Otok, known for its dramatic cliffs and the serene Telašćica Bay. After a gentle sail through the park’s protected waters, a short hike leads you to the Mir Salt Lake, a geological wonder connected to the sea through underground channels. Take in the jagged cliffside views or enjoy a tranquil afternoon paddleboarding along the calm bay waters. With cycling routes and shaded pine trails, this stop invites you to connect with nature at your own pace.

Day 5 introduces the artisanal charm of Iž Island, famed for its pottery traditions and peaceful ambiance. After docking at Veli Iž Marina, visit a local ceramic studio where centuries-old techniques still thrive. The island's Romanesque buildings and quiet roads are ideal for exploration by foot or bicycle. Dine on the freshest island delicacies in a family-run restaurant nestled by the shore, as live music fills the air.

Day 6 lands you on Ugljan Island, a lush expanse of olive groves and serene coves often referred to as the “Green Island.” Visit St. Mihovil Fortress for an unbeatable view of the Zadar archipelago, or kayak along the island’s beautifully preserved coastline. The town of Sutomišćica offers a welcoming marina and a rich cultural setting with artisan markets and family-owned konobas serving up unforgettable flavors of Dalmatia.

Day 7 marks the journey home. An early departure brings you back toward Šibenik, with a relaxing stop en route for a final swim in a quiet bay. Once moored at Bilice Port, guests have the chance to browse local markets for souvenirs or revisit the sights of Šibenik for a few last moments of coastal charm before disembarkation in the evening.
