Day 3 : EXPLORE MLJET NATIONAL PARK
This morning we’re sailing to Mljet, a secluded island sanctuary in the heart of the Adriatic. After a hot buffet breakfast, our captain will anchor in a hidden bay, getting us used to the Croatian routine of swim, eat, explore, repeat. After another three-course feast of locally sourced food (think meat, seafood and fresh veg), our boat will dock so we can explore the National Park by bike.

Day 4 : DISCOVER DUBROVNIK
As we sleep our boat will cruise south to the famous fortress city of Dubrovnik. Poised gracefully on Croatia’s coast, Dubrovnik is so much more than Game of Thrones hotspots! We'll start our day kayaking out at sea, checking out the views from the water, next we'll immerse ourselves in the magnificent Old Town and head off on a guided walking tour. Once the sun sets we’ll dine at a local restaurant, then go out to see what Dubrovnik’s world-class clubs have to offer. Anyone up to party in a castle?

Day 5 : SAILK TO TRSTENIK
Drifting off from Dubrovnik, we’ll sail past olive trees and vineyards as we find a bluer-than-blue spot to anchor. Spend the entire day horizontal or practice your belly flops, it’s completely up to you! Later we’ll dock in the quiet fishing village of Trstenik to explore the unspoilt streets, taking in the most authentic side of Croatia. Famous for wine, we'll also have the option to do a wine tasting. Tonight we dress a little fancy for the captain’s dinner and enjoy a few drinks and games onboard.
Meals :Breakfast, Lunch
Day 6 : EXPLORE KORCULA
After another morning of sailing in paradise today we dock in Korcula, one of Croatia’s most picturesque towns. Covered in marble and built around a magnificent 15th Century Cathedral, Korcula is Dubrovnik, but smaller and without the crowds! After showing you the sights, the summer afternoon is yours to wander the Venetian Old Town. Foodies can hit up the restaurants on the edge of town, and if you’re after a sunset cocktail, we know where to take you.
Meals :Breakfast, Lunch
Day 7 : GET A TASTE OF HVAR
You know the routine by now - swim, sunbathe and snorkel to your heart’s content, then this afternoon we’re sailing to the ritzy hub of Hvar. Playground of some familiar famous faces, this is where super-yachts meet Renaissance history. Climbing above terracotta rooftops, we’ll walk up to the Spanish Fortress for incredible views in every direction. Sun setting, music in the air, by now we’re fully acquainted with the Croatian lifestyle. Tonight, head out for a few drinks and a dance, and be ready to Hvar-good-time!

Day 9 : KRKA NATIONAL PARK & WATERFALLS
After a final breakfast on board, we'll wave goodbye to our crew and head to the famous Krka Waterfalls.
