Itinerary
Day 1: Dubrovnik/Adriatic Sea
Arrival day. Join the group at 1 pm for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the sailing journey to Split. Enjoy a nightcap with crew mates on the boat and get to know fellow passengers.
Day 2-6: Adriatic Sea
While traveling the Dalmatian coast by sailboat, explore ancient Roman ruins and discover secluded beaches. Opt to hike through the national park in Mljet that inspired Odysseus for years or take a tour of the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Dubrovnik, which offer insight into Croatian culture and architecture. Anchor in the quiet bay of Milna, Hvar, and opt to experience the vibrant night life on land. Explore the beaches as the tide comes in and shifts their shape. Enjoy free time to explore the Mediterranean port town of Dubrovnik. The city boasts plenty of churches, monasteries, fountains, and plazas to discover.
Our 15m (50 ft) nimble yacht is the perfect platform to explore the gorgeous Adriatic islands. Flexibility is key to adapt to local weather conditions, and the skipper will modify the itinerary to our advantage while sailing. Possible stops include: Brač, Mljet, Korčula, and Hvar.
Day 7: Adriatic Sea/Trogir
Weigh anchor early morning for the last passage to Trogir. Before crossing the Brač Channel, find a picturesque inlet to enjoy lunch before entering the marina in Trogir. Enjoy the last night aboard, or join the rest of the group for an optional group dinner in Split while reminiscing about the epic journey through the Adriatic Sea.
Day 8: Trogir/Split
Disembark the ship in the morning after breakfast. Then, enjoy an included transfer from Trogir to the Hotel Corner in Split where the tour ends on arrival.
If you would like extra time in Split after the sailing journey is finished, we recommend booking extra time.

Overall it’s a good trip, but I didn’t get an email that I needed to be at the meeting point at 1pm instead of 4pm which was the original time. As my flight was delayed 40 minutes, I had to get in contact with the local office/ skipper.

We had a great group of 8 participants. We were all keen and willing to engage and help. We enjoyed our experience (some tricky weather) but felt that there were opportunities to make it better.

I recently sailed with G Adventures and, unfortunately, the experience with the boat itself was quite disappointing. The vessel felt old and worn down, with missing floor panels and low-quality cupboards.

Overall a good trip in terms of experiences, but tainted by the poor condition of the boat with big leaks and other issues. Good variety of things to do on the tour and good options offered despite going at the end of the season.

Our tour guide, Skipper Evan Protega, was exceptionally experienced and it showed most when we got caught in the storm that grounded several other sailboats yet left us unscathed. We were given the freedom to enjoy locations at our own pace.

Living a busy fast paced life in Los Angeles, this trip was everything needed to feel the freedom that my professional life keeps me from. Breathtaking views, beautiful sightseeing, amazing food and culture, amazing Captain that exudes a calm comfort.

Loved the trip, we were lucky to get an amazing group of people who got on well with the CEO. The islands and activities were amazing and we saw a lot of a beautiful country in a very relaxed way. Boat needs updating regarding facilities working.

It was a great holiday which surpassed my expectations and felt longer than a week! We were lucky with the group of people and the amazing skipper, and given the close quarters I think this makes all the difference.

Perfect! Everything I expected ... and more. I am so glad I decided to take this "solo" tour. It was by far one of the best holidays I've ever had. Highly recommend this trip.

The sailing trip was fabulous. The scenery of the different islands was beautiful. We anchored at many beautiful beaches for swimming and to have our lunch on the yacht. The UNESCO-protected cities of Stari Grad and Hvar were very beautiful and interesting.

I had an amazing week exploring stunning Croatia. It was a completely different holiday getting to sail instead of going over land. Travelling from place to place was part of the fun! Ivan was a fun and friendly skipper and he made us feel safe at all.

It was an adventure; however uncomfortable the sleeping arrangements were on a few occasions due to boat disrepair and leaks. The sights and local knowledge of the tour operator was well regarded.
