Rogoznica → Krknjaši Bay
Depart Rogoznica Marina after a leisurely breakfast, setting course southeast for Krknjaši Bay on Veli Drvenik, a 15-nautical-mile passage favoured by a gentle maestral. This horseshoe bay, fringed with Aleppo pines, offers exceptional shelter and startlingly clear water over a white sand bottom. Drop anchor in four metres and enjoy an afternoon swim, the scent of pine resin hanging in the warm air. Later, row ashore to the modest fishing hamlet and find Konoba Bila Lučica, known for its grilled fish and local Pošip wine, served under the stars. The bay is a serene spot, protected from the prevailing winds, ideal for unwinding before the week's adventures.
Things to do
Swim and snorkel in the clear waters of Krknjaši Bay
Enjoy fresh grilled fish at Konoba Bila Lučica
Relax on deck as the sun sets behind Šolta island
Explore the small fishing hamlet on Veli Drvenik
Mooring tip
Anchor in sand on the bay's south side in 4-8 metres; holding is excellent. No services, so provision in Rogoznica.
Krknjaši Bay → Komiža
Depart Krknjaši Bay after breakfast for the 25-nautical-mile reach west to Vis island, a passage favoured by the prevailing maestral. Komiža, your destination, is a fishing town of pastel-coloured houses tumbling down to a harbour dotted with cobalt-blue fishing boats. Anchor or moor stern-to in the bay, then explore the narrow streets. As dusk approaches, ascend Hum Hill (a 20-minute hike) for a breathtaking panorama of the archipelago, including the islets of Bisevo and Sveti Andrija. Descend for dinner at a local konoba, perhaps Konoba Bako, to sample the island's famed riblja čorba, a rich fisherman's stew simmered for hours.
Things to do
Anchor or moor stern-to in Komiža harbour
Hike Hum Hill for sunset archipelago views
Dine on authentic riblja čorba at Konoba Bako
Explore Komiža's narrow, charming streets
Mooring tip
Komiža harbour offers stern-to mooring or anchoring in sand; arrive early in season as space is limited.
Komiža → Vis
Depart Komiža on Vis island early for the 8 NM passage to the main Vis harbour, making a detour first to the nearby islet of Biševo. The Blue Cave (Modra špilja) is a geological marvel, best visited before the sun reaches its zenith; the light filtering through the underwater opening turns the cavern into an ethereal sapphire cathedral. Afterward, anchor briefly in the sheltered cove of Budihovac for a swim in waters of astonishing clarity, a true lagoon oasis. Arrive in Vis harbour mid-afternoon, securing a stern-to mooring with lazy-lines. The island's interior holds secrets, from abandoned Cold War listening posts to the rumoured site of King Lancelot's vineyard, offering a unique historical and exploratory dimension to your day.
Things to do
Enter the Blue Cave on Biševo islet
Swim in Budihovac lagoon's turquoise waters
Explore Vis town's WWII bunkers
Search for King Lancelot's vineyard
Mooring tip
Vis harbour offers stern-to moorings with lazy-lines; holding is good in sand and mud. Arrive before 17:00 in high season.
Vis → Hvar
Today's 25-nautical-mile passage east from Vis brings you to the iconic island of Hvar, sailing past the emerald Pakleni Islands that guard its northern shore. Aim for the main harbour of Hvar Town, a bustling port known for its Riva promenade and Venetian architecture. Secure your stern-to mooring along the quay, noting the depth and potential swell from passing ferries. Spend the late afternoon climbing the steps to the Španjola Fortress, originally built in the 16th century, for panoramic views of the town, harbour, and surrounding islands as the sun dips below the horizon. Afterwards, wander the labyrinthine cobblestone streets, perhaps stopping for a glass of local Maraschino liqueur, and enjoy the lively evening atmosphere emanating from hidden courtyards.
Things to do
Climb to Španjola Fortress for sunset views
Explore Hvar Town's stone lanes and piazzas
Enjoy a drink on the Riva promenade
Visit the Arsenal and theatre nearby
Mooring tip
Hvar Town harbour stern-to moorings; book ahead via Hvar Yacht Harbour Hotel or arrive early. Holding is good but expect swell from ferries.
Hvar → Stari Grad
Cast off from Hvar Town for the 15-nautical-mile passage northeast to Stari Grad on Hvar island's northern coast. This ancient Greek colony, founded in 384 BC, boasts the oldest continuously functioning port in Europe. The fertile Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a UNESCO-protected agricultural landscape where Greek land division remains intact. Anchor in the sheltered Stari Grad Bay, where the shallow seabed offers good holding in sand and weed. Explore the town's narrow stone streets, visit the Tvrdalj Castle, and consider renting bicycles to cycle through the ancient agricultural plots. For dinner, seek out a konoba like Kod Barbe in the old town, where lamb or octopus cooked under a traditional peka bell—a three-hour affair—is a local speciality, its rich aroma mingling with the sea air.
Things to do
Cycle the UNESCO Stari Grad Plain
Visit the ancient Tvrdalj Castle
Dine on traditional peka at Konoba Kod Barbe
Swim in the clear waters of Stari Grad Bay
Mooring tip
Anchor in Stari Grad Bay's sand and weed in 4-7 metres, or stern-to at the Riva promenade with lazy-lines.
Stari Grad → Maslinica
The 15-nautical-mile passage northwest to Šolta's Maslinica is a gentle farewell to the open sea. Anchor in the sheltered confines of Čikat Bay, its sandy bottom offering excellent holding in 5-7 metres. Spend the afternoon exploring the crumbling stone olive presses scattered across the hillsides, testaments to the island's agricultural past. As dusk approaches, dinghy ashore to the waterfront promenade. Find a quiet konoba to sample Šolta's distinctive rožulin liqueur, a honeyed digestif, and watch the fading light gild the 18th-century Kaštel fortification. This is the last island sunset of your charter, a moment to savour the scent of pine and the cicadas' evening chorus.
Things to do
Anchor in Čikat Bay for excellent holding
Explore abandoned olive presses on the hills
Sample Šolta's honeyed rožulin liqueur

Maslinica → Rogoznica
Depart Maslinica mid-morning for the 28-nautical-mile run south, tracing the dramatic marble cliffs of Brač island. The prevailing maestral should offer a fine beam reach, perfect for pausing the passage to explore secluded coves for a final swim, the sunlight fracturing into diamond patterns on the water. Continue southeast, rounding the island's eastern tip and heading towards the mainland and your destination of Rogoznica. As you approach, you might hear the distant chime of church bells from the old town. The highlight before mooring is a visit to Zmajevo Oko (Dragon's Eye Lake), a small, briny saltwater lake connected to the sea by a narrow channel, its unique ecosystem a fitting punctuation mark to your week's exploration. Secure your lines stern-to in the marina, the scent of pine and salt heavy in the evening air.
