1. Kremik marina
The starting point for the trip is the Kremik marina south of Primosten with its more than 500 berths. The marina is reached after a half hour drive from the airport. On the way there are a few bigger supermarkets for shopping, which you should use, because not everything can be obtained in the marina.
If nothing keeps you in the marina on the first evening, you can reach Primosten after 3 NM in northern direction or Rogoznica after 5 NM in southern direction and here start your sailing holiday in one of the restaurants.
2. Solta (Maslinica): 21 NM
After the first night on board, today’s destination is Maslinica, on the northern tip of the island of Solta. On the way to Maslinica you sail past the islands Otok Drvenik Mali and Veli through the 7 offshore islands to your day destination. In Maslinica you can either use one of the 50 berths in the marina or anchor in the Sesula bay. The island of Solta, like many of the islands, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and there are many historical testimonies from different eras. In Maslinica there is the Martinis Marchi Castle, which has been converted into a luxury hotel.
3. Trogir: 11 NM
A short day trip takes you to Trogir, whose entire old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The marinas ACI and SCT are located exactly opposite the historic old town. Just cross the bascule bridge and immerse yourself in another world. Winding alleys, buildings such as the St. Laurentius Cathedral or the Kamerlengo fortress invite you to visit them. If you happen to be familiar with some buildings from a western, it is because “Winnetou” was shot here. The innumerable cafés and restaurants in the city or on the promenade provide new energy for further discoveries. So get up early, Trogir will thank you with unique impressions.
4. Brac (Milna): 22 NM
From Trogir you sail out again to the islands of Dalmatia, with the destination Brac and the Milna marina. Brac is the largest island in Dalmatia and the third largest in the Adriatic.
If you would like to visit more unique cultural monuments of Croatia after Trogir, a visit to the monastery complex Eremitage Blaca is a good idea. It is located about 10 km inland. The monastery served as an observatory for the Father and hobby astronomer Nikola Milicevic. In honour of his discoveries two asteroids were named “Nikola Milicevic” and “Brac”.
5. Vis (Komiza): 33 NM
A new sailing day leads you to the “Gibraltar of the Adriatic”. Due to its location Vis was a long military restricted area and was only reopened to the outside in 1995. The destination on Vis is Komiza. From Komiza the cave, from which Tito is said to have organised the fight against the German occupiers during the Second World War, can be reached on foot. Not far from this place is Mount Hum, 587 m high. From there you have a wonderful view over the Adriatic Sea. After this hike you can enjoy a cooling off at Novo Posta beach even more.
6. Hvar (Stari Grad): 35 NM
From the westernmost point of the cruise you sail around the south coast of Vis to the last point of our trip to Hvar in the port of Stari Grad. On the south coast of Vis lies the island of Veli Budikovac, where the shallow blue water between islands invites you to a morning bathing stop. Stari Grad offers a colorful programme that can fill the afternoon. After a week on the water, a visit to the Vinarija winery Braća Plančić can contribute to increasing your knowledge on Croatian wines. Those who love swimming should go to Brizenica Bay beach, which is located in the northern part, not far from the marina. Those who have been enthusiastic about the historical buildings on this trip should definitely visit Petar’s residence Hektorović in the city.
7. Kremik marina: 46 NM
The time has come to say goodbye to the beautiful island world of Central Dalmatia and the Kremik marina is being visited again. After leaving Stari Grad and the bay the island of Brac is in sight again. For the ambitious sailor, the Golden Horn, the landmark of Dalmatia, is 6 nm away in a north-easterly direction at the southern tip of Brac. This is a promontory of pebbles, which changes its appearance depending on the current. After a short stop, you should now set sail to reach Kremik on time. Heading north, you will pass Solta and the Drvenik Islands until the mainland is in sight again at starboard. Now it is still 12 nm until you have reached Primosten again and can let the trip end.
8. Goodbye
After the last night on the ship the trip is over after a breakfast. You leave the ship around 9 o’clock and start, hopefully well recovered, into your everyday life.
1. Marina Kremik
Der Ausgangspunkt für den Törn ist die südlich von Primosten gelegene Marina Kremik mit ihren über 500 Liegeplätzen. Die Marina ist nach einer halbstündigen Fahrt vom Flughafen erreicht. Auf dem Weg befinden sich ein paar größere Supermärkte für den Einkauf, die Sie nutzen sollten, da in der Marina nicht alles zu bekommen ist. Wenn es Sie am ersten Abend nicht mehr in der Marina hält, können Sie nach 3 sm in nördlicher Richtung Primosten oder nach 5 sm in südlicher Richtung Rogoznica erreichen und hier Ihren Segelurlaub in einem der Restaurants starten.
2. Sibenik: 16 NM
A short day trip takes you to Dalmatia’s second largest city, which lies protected in the interior of the country at the mouth of the river Krka. The region around Sibenik offers so many sights that one day is not enough. Sibenik is known for its stairs and alleys. Many monuments invite you to visit them: The most famous building is the Cathedral of St. Jacob. Further buildings from the 300-year-old Venetian epoch in Sibenik are the fortresses, the rector’s palace and many other stores that shape the cityscape. After a long day of sightseeing, the beach of Banj offers cool refreshment to later end the evening in one of the restaurants along the promenade.
3. Vodice: 7 NM
Before we go out to the Adriatic again today, an excursion to the Krka National Park is on the agenda. For this purpose, it is a good idea to rent a car. Krka National Park, founded in 1985, is known for its waterfalls, which are up to 60 m high and served as a backdrop for the Winnetou films. You can also visit the Oziđana cave, which has been opened to the public. Traces of human use since the Neolithic period have been found here. The more than 40 caves are also home to one of the largest bat populations in Europe. Entrance to the National Park is subject to a fee.
After a day in beautiful nature the destination for dinner is Vodice – one of the most popular cities in Dalmatia. You should reach it after 1.5 hours on the water.
4. Murter (Murter): 18 NM
A relaxed sailing day leads to the north side of the island Murter and into the Hramina marina. Along the west coast of Murter many bays offer the possibility for extensive bathing and diving stops. In short: a day to relax. Once you have reached the marina, you should definitely get Murter’s famous olive oil for dinner and refine your meal with it.
5. Otok Zut: 17 NM
Today’s destination is the island of Zut in the National Park of the Kornati Islands. Zut is the second largest island of the national park with a size of approx. 15 square kilometres. Its landscape is characterised by barren limestone and sparse vegetation due to low rainfall. The ACI marina Zut is located in the bay in the north of the island; the 400 m long jetty blends well into this beautiful landscape. Despite its remoteness, the marina has a restaurant and a supermarket. Away from the hustle and bustle of the marina, you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature.
6. Otok Piskera: 18 NM
Another stage of the day leads us northwards from the bay between the northern tip “Zut” and the “Glamoc” island in western direction. Through this unique landscape between the islands Kornat and Katina you steer south to reach the restaurant “Konoba Suha Punta” on the north coast of Kornat for a lunch stop. After refreshment it is time for the course to Otok Piskera. Between the islands again many bays offer the opportunity for a stopover. You should have snorkelling equipment in your luggage to experience the variety of the underwater world. In the evening we reach the ACI marina of Piskera with its fantastic deep blue water.
7. Kremik marina: 35 NM
The end of this trip is approaching with great strides – the longest day trip lies ahead of us today. After passing the many smaller islands and Kurba Vela island, Zirje comes into view. This large island forms the southern tip of the Kornati Islands. Here you have the possibility to visit one of the restaurants in the bays. After you have left Zirje behind, it is only 11 NM to the Kremik marina. The visit of two of the most famous Croatian national parks and the world cultural heritage Sibenik will leave you with lasting impressions.
8. Goodbye
After the last night on the ship, the trip is over after a breakfast. You leave the ship around 9 o’clock and, hopefully well rested, start your journey home or on.

2. Otok Zarlin: 12 NM
The first sailing day takes you to Zarlin, the village of the same name in the north of the island. The landscape is characterised by spruce and pine forests. As a sailor you will enjoy the clear water and the lonely beaches and bays. Above all, from Zarlin you have an impressive view of the Sibenik strait. As there are no cars on the island, holidaymakers will experience a restful silence here. Thus you can enjoy the first day here fully relaxed.
3. Murter (Murter): 20 NM
A short trip leads to the north side of Murter island, into the Hramina marina. Murter is one of the Adriatic’s water sports centres where you can meet many like-minded people. Murter is a very lively place with numerous bars, restaurants and a bustling nightlife. But also archaeological finds of an ancient Roman settlement make the island interesting. Slanica bay has one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Croatia. Murter’s olive oil should not be missed when dining on board in the evening.
4. Zadar: 29 NM
From the Hramina marina, you sail northwards, past the offshore islands, which lie one behind the other like a string of pearls. On the port side you can see Pasman and Ugljan. Halfway up Ugljan is starboard Zadar. The port city with its seaside resort is one of the largest cities in Croatia. The old town lies on a promontory, separated from the mainland by a moat. Beside the sacral buildings you should visit the Roman forum. The highlight is the sea organ of the architect Nikola Bašić, which produces sounds by the sea waves. For the evening the innumerable restaurants offer tasty dishes for each taste.

The city is picturesquely situated on the slopes around the port. Almost the whole everyday life takes place along the harbour promenade. Here you can visit for example the Losinj and Apoxyomenos museum. A little outside is “The Losinj Aromatic Garden” – a small herb garden with a special flair.
7. Otok Unije: 15 NM
After breakfast you visit one of the supermarkets to be supplied with fresh food for today’s bathing day. The route takes you to the northernmost point of the trip, the buoys in the western bay of Unije. The bay, a secret tip, with its turquoise blue water is a great spot for water sports activities. Over the hills to the west you reach Unije, a small village from where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Adriatic Sea.
8. Susak: 11 NM
Since today’s trip is not too long, it makes sense to spend the morning bathing in the bay and then sail refreshed to Susak, a small island south of Unije. Susak is very green compared to the neighbouring islands. One of the sights is the lighthouse on the 96 m high hill “Garba”. For diving enthusiasts there are two ancient shipwrecks in front of the island. A special eye-catcher are the traditional costumes of the locals, whose cut is unique.
9. Dugi Otok (Veli Rat): 39 NM
Be an early riser today, because the longest daily route of the trip awaits you. The Croatian islands are on the port side, the Adriatic Sea is starboard, while you sail south. In the bay near Veli Rat lies the marina for the night. If you have to stretch your legs after a long day on the water, you can visit the lighthouse at the northwestern cape after a 3 km walk. You can end the evening in one of the restaurants in Veli Rat.
10. Dugi Otok (Sali): 29 NM
The day’s destination is Sali, the unofficial island capital of Dugi Otok. Over the north cape, along the east coast of Dugi Otok, you reach Sali, which is located at the National Park Telašćica . The national park is known for its high cliffs and the salt lake.

12. Otok Kaprije: 33 NM
After breakfast you leave the bay and sail over port around the northern tip of Zut and through the Kornati National Park towards the south.

The last 14 NM to Kaprije you can connect with a bathing stop at the two islands east of Kakan. On Kaprije you can spend the evening according to your taste.
13. Sibenik: 15 NM
Around the southern cape of Kaprije, the road between many small islands leads to the second largest city of Dalmatia, which lies protected in the interior of the country at the mouth of the river Krka.

3. Brac (Milna): 22 NM
From Trogir you sail out again to the
islands of Dalmatia, with the destination Brac and the Milna marina.
Brac is the largest island in Dalmatia and the third largest in the
Adriatic.
If you would like to visit more unique cultural monuments of Croatia after Trogir, a visit to the monastery complex Eremitage Blaca is a good idea. It is located about 10 km inland. The monastery served as an observatory for the Father and hobby astronomer Nikola Milicevic. In honour of his discoveries two asteroids were named “Nikola Milicevic” and “Brac”.
4. Hvar (Hvar): 19 NM
Today a short island hopping to the neighbouring island Hvar with the place of the same name Hvar is planned. From Milna you sail between the islands Solta and Brac and head directly for the western tip of Hvar island. After the rounding of the cape the island “Paklinski” lies directly in front of you. For the afternoon the island offers excellent conditions for all water sports activities, before you cover the 3 NM to Hvar for the evening. In the many restaurants and bars along the harbour promenade you will surely find the perfect place for sunset to end the evening.
5. Korcula (Korcula): 45 NM
Get up early this morning because you have three long sailing days ahead of you. From the western tip of the island of Hvar you sail to the east coast of Korcula. On the way you sail around Scedro island and after approx. 15 sm reach the strait between Korcula and Peljesac peninsula. After a long day you reach the ACI Marina Korcula. If you still have energy for land activities, you can visit in Korcula the alleged birthplace of the world traveller Marco Polo and also the museum about him. A detour to Banje beach, south of the marina, may also be an option.
6. Dubrovnik: 55 NM
Today there is only one motto: Sailing, sailing, sailing! The destination, Dubrovnik, is very close, but so far away. You pass Peljesac peninsula on port side, always direction southwest, until you change course after the island Sipan to port side and head east to the mainland. In the southeast you can see Dubrovnik. The last 9 nautical miles now go by like in flight. Having arrived in the marina, we recommend you to enjoy the evening on board.
7. Dubrovnik: Harbour day
You have reached the destination “Dubrovnik” and after a restful night with charged batteries nothing stands in the way of a sightseeing tour. Since the choice of sights is large, it is best to decide in advance which places you would like to visit. The well-known city wall should not be missing in any case. As in every city in Croatia, you will come across many sacral buildings. The city harbour is also a must for sailors and if you are a fan of the series “Game of Thrones”, don’t miss a visit to the fortress “Lo-vrijenac”. There are also whole city tours in the Game-of-Thrones style. For a short break, visit one of the Buza bars behind the city wall overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The locals also like to visit these bars. In the evening you should take the cable car up to the mountain “Srd”. The view and sunset from here are certainly one of the highlights of the trip.
8. Mljet (Sobra): 29 NM
It is time to set sail again and set course northwards, leaving this pearl of the Adriatic behind. The destination, the bay of Sobra, offers the possibility to anchor or moor at one of the restaurant piers. The sheltered bay is a great place for water sports enthusiasts to do some sports. Those who still have strength in their legs after the day in Dubrovnik can explore the island on foot. Mljet is one of the most densely wooded islands in the Mediterranean. Here, with a little luck, you can observe one of the mongooses that were exposed a hundred years ago to fight poisonous snakes. The very endangered Mediterranean monk seal is less often seen.
9. Korcula (Brna): 43 NM
Along the north coast of Mljet you sail past the National Park, which covers half of the island, and get closer to today’s destination, Korcula island. This time the destination is the small port of Brna, located on the south coast. The visit of the winery “Toreta Winery” should be combined with a wine tasting. The winery is located 3 km from Brna. It is a good idea to walk along the path. Back, the path then leads downhill.
10. Vis (Vis): 39 NM
The evening wine tasting hopefully did not leave too big traces. Set sail again after a hearty breakfast. Passing Korcula to the west, the day’s destination “Vis” comes into view on the horizon. Before the port of Vis is called at, there is the possibility to visit the Green Cave on the island of Ravnik, a cave with a supposedly green ceiling, however, a fee is charged for entereing. In Vis there is the Archeological Museum for culture enthusiasts, where you can learn a lot about the history of the island. With its many restaurants, bars and beaches you have a perfect choice for the evening.
11. Hvar (Stari Grad): 26 NM
From the harbour you can already see “Hvar” island, which will be called at a second time, but this time in Stari Grad. On the way to the northeast there is Paklinski island on starboard again, which can be used for another bathing stop. In Stari Grad you can choose from a colourful programme for the afternoon. If you have been enthusiastic about the historical buildings on this trip, you should definitely visit the living fortress of the poet Petar Hektorović in the city.
12. Solta (Rogac): 23 NM
The end of a long cruise is approaching. From Stari Grad we head north on the Adriatic Sea between the islands “Solta” and “Brac” to sail along the north coast of Solta to Rogac. On the way there are several bays that can be reached. From Rogac you should walk to Grohote. Grohote is the oldest village on the island. This can be seen in the many old buildings, the witnesses of history. A visit of “Tvrdic Honey” beekeeping must be planned in any case. Goran will tell you all about the secrets of the bees and you can buy the perfect gift for at home.
13. Otok Drvenik Veli: 13 NM
A stress-free day is on the agenda today! With the short trip to the northwest island “Drvenik Veli” we go to the “Blue Lagoon”. This Caribbean blue is today’s bathing place. With a glass of wine and some finger food you have a wonderful place to relax.
14. Kremik: 18 NM
Even the most beautiful cruise comes to an end. Like the day before, the last miles to Kremik are, under the motto “quiet enjoyment”. Sailing, swimming, reviewing the trip. All this brings you ever closer to your destination. Before Kremik marina is called at, however, there is a short excursion to the buoy field to Rogoznica, in order to have lunch in the marina’s Pizzeria. Well strengthened after a good meal, the last section on the water is mastered after one hour and you enter Kremik. An extensive dinner is the end of two eventful weeks.
15. Goodbye
After the last night on the ship the trip is over after a breakfast. You leave the ship around 9 o’clock and start, hopefully well recovered, into your everyday life. We hope you enjoyed the trip!
