Southern Dalmatian Sailing Adventure – Bavaria C50 Skippered Yacht Charter from Bilice Port, Croatia

Step aboard for a spectacular 7-day skippered sailing adventure from Bilice Port, Croatia, exploring a carefully curated route that blends pristine nature, medieval charm, and serene island life. Designed for travelers seeking a perfect balance of discovery and relaxation, this journey navigates through the glittering waters of the Adriatic to destinations such as Dugi Otok, Kornati, Murter, Primošten, and Zlarin, with each day offering a new layer of Dalmatian wonder.

Your voyage begins in the historic town of Šibenik, a city brimming with old-world character and Mediterranean flair. After boarding your Bavaria C50 sailing yacht in the afternoon, settle in and receive a detailed safety and itinerary briefing from your skipper. Use the evening to explore Šibenik’s timeless charm-from the majestic St. James Cathedral to the cobbled streets lined with inviting cafés. Enjoy your first sunset from the deck as the yacht gently rocks in the marina.

Day 2 brings you to the dramatic beauty of Dugi Otok, specifically Telašćica Bay, a natural sanctuary within a protected nature park. Hike up the cliffs towering 166 meters above the sea for panoramic views, then descend for a swim in the Mir Salt Lake, a peaceful inland lagoon that shifts with the tides. Spend your afternoon cycling or relaxing among the pine forests before anchoring for the night under a canopy of stars.

Day 3 unfolds in the Kornati National Park, a breathtaking archipelago of over 140 islands. Your destination is Piškera Island and its secluded ACI Marina. Sail past jagged limestone ridges and turquoise inlets, with ample opportunities for snorkeling or sunbathing. Upon arrival, stretch your legs with a walk through a traditional fishing village or enjoy fresh-caught fish grilled to perfection in a rustic konoba. The marina’s isolation makes it an ideal stargazing haven.

Day 4 shifts to Murter Island, where simplicity and authenticity reign. Dock at ACI Marina Jezera and stroll through a quiet fishing village untouched by tourism. This day invites you to slow down-whether lounging on sandy beaches, trying seafood dishes unique to the region, or reading a book on the yacht’s spacious cockpit as the waves lap gently against the hull.

Day 5 leads to Primošten, a coastal gem known for its terraced vineyards and fairytale old town. Once an island, it’s now a photogenic peninsula dotted with stone buildings and red-tiled roofs. Spend your afternoon exploring local boutiques, sipping Babić wine in a vineyard just outside town, or relaxing at one of its scenic beaches. Dock overnight at Marina Kremik, surrounded by pine trees and crystal-clear waters.

Day 6 introduces the enchanting Zlarin Island, renowned for its coral jewelry and tranquil ambiance. This car-free island is an oasis of peace, perfect for forest walks, church visits, or a trip to the Coral Museum. Lounge on secluded beaches or go snorkeling before dinner at a family-run restaurant offering fresh mussels and lobster risotto. Overnight at Zlarin Marina ensures a restful end to the day.

Day 7 wraps up your adventure with a sail back to Šibenik, perhaps pausing for a refreshing swim in one of the bays along the route. Dock by midday and enjoy a farewell coffee in town’s marina promenade or a last stroll through its enchanting lanes. This final morning allows time to reflect on the week’s highlights before disembarkation and departure.

Your floating home for the week is the Bavaria C50-a spacious 15.4-meter sailing yacht designed for both comfort and performance. Featuring five well-appointed cabins and three bathrooms, it can accommodate up to 10 guests in supreme style.
