Day 1: Begin your journey from Marina Rogač in the late afternoon. After your briefing and check-in procedures, set sail west to Šešula Bay on Šolta Island-a short 7 nautical miles away. Known for its lush pine backdrop and secluded anchorage, this peaceful bay offers excellent wind protection and a calm atmosphere to ease into your sailing adventure. Enjoy dinner on the waterfront terrace of Šišmiš restaurant and soak in your first Adriatic sunset.

Day 2: Depart from Šešula Bay and cover a distance of 30.4 nautical miles toward Kaprije. This serene island offers one of the most well-protected harbors in the region and is ideal for yachts of all sizes. Discover the hidden coves along the coast or take a walk into the village where time seems to stand still. Dine on fresh seafood and taste homemade Dalmatian delicacies. The peace and untouched nature of Kaprije offer a unique retreat into authentic Croatian island life.

Day 3: Cruise 17.3 nautical miles toward Kornati National Park-an archipelago of over 80 islands famed for their dramatic limestone cliffs, clear waters, and unique topography. Anchor at Piškera Marina and spend the day exploring the uninhabited islets and dramatic bays of Vrulje and Lavsa. With minimal development and raw, natural beauty, Kornati is a sailor's dream. Enjoy dinner with a sea view at a local konoba tucked between the rocky hills.

Day 4: A short 12.9-nautical-mile sail brings you to Telašćica Nature Park, situated at the southeastern tip of Dugi Otok Island. This haven of biodiversity features towering cliffs, the therapeutic salt lake Mir, and one of the largest natural harbors in the Adriatic. Go hiking along the dramatic cliff paths, take a healing dip in the warm salt lake, or simply lounge in the sun while watching dolphins and seabirds dance across the horizon.

Day 5: Set sail for Opat Bay on the island of Kornat. Navigate either the island’s eastern or western coast depending on wind direction. Opat Bay offers still waters and an authentic local dining experience at the family-run tavern perched at its northeast corner. If the southern wind becomes active, seek shelter in nearby Koromašna Bay, known for its scented sage fields and spring blooms. It's the perfect setting to unwind before continuing southward.

Day 6: Head southeast to Primošten, covering a scenic 23.2-nautical-mile route. This hilltop town is rich in history and wine culture. Visit the 15th-century St. George Church or sample the famed Babić red wine produced from vineyards visible from the sea. Wander the narrow stone streets or enjoy a lively evening at “Aurora,” one of Croatia's most famous coastal nightclubs, for an unforgettable night on land.

Day 7: Begin your return voyage via the serene waters of Krknjaši Bay, nestled between the islets of Veli Drvenik and Krknjaš. Spend the afternoon swimming and sunbathing in this turquoise paradise before completing your journey at Marina Rogač by evening. Let the soft sway of the Adriatic accompany your final sail as you reflect on a week filled with adventure, tranquility, and Croatian charm.
