Day 1 / 7
Lopud
1
Day 1

Slano → Lopud

Depart from the sheltered harbour of Slano for a gentle 12-nautical-mile sail southeast towards the Elaphiti Islands, dropping anchor in the shallow, sandy expanse of Šunj Beach on Lopud's western side. This idyllic bay, fringed with pine trees, offers crystal-clear water perfect for an afternoon swim. Lopud itself is car-free, its quiet lanes leading to the 15th-century Franciscan monastery and church, a testament to the island's rich history. For dinner, step ashore to one of the beachfront konobas; the aroma of grilled squid and local herbs often fills the air as the cicadas begin their evening chorus. Moor stern-to in the bay or anchor carefully, mindful of the swimmers.

Things to do

Anchor in the sandy shallows of Šunj Beach

Walk to the Franciscan monastery and church

Enjoy grilled squid at a beachfront konoba

Swim in the clear turquoise waters of the bay

Mooring tip

Anchor in sand in 3-5 metres off Šunj Beach, or moor stern-to at the small quay; holding is good.

Saplunara
2
Day 2

Lopud → Saplunara Bay (Mljet)

This 20-nautical-mile passage south brings you to Saplunara Bay on Mljet's southern coast, a quiet contrast to the northern side. Drop anchor in the sheltered waters of Blace Beach, a unique lagoon with fine sand and shallow, warm waters perfect for an early evening swim. The bay is framed by pine forests, and the air carries the scent of resin. For dinner, seek out Konoba Pomena, a simple eatery known for its grilled sea bream and local wine. As dusk settles, the only sounds will be the gentle lapping of waves and the chirping of cicadas, a perfect end to the day's sailing.

Things to do

Anchor in the shallow sandy lagoon of Blace Beach

Swim in the clear, warm waters of the bay

Enjoy grilled sea bream at Konoba Pomena

Walk the pine-fringed paths behind the beach

Mooring tip

Anchor in 3-5m sand in Blace Beach; holding is good. No facilities available, so provision before leaving Lopud.

Pomena
3
Day 3

Saplunara → Pomena (Mljet National Park)

Today's 10-nautical-mile passage north brings you into the serene embrace of Mljet National Park, dropping anchor in the sheltered harbour of Pomena. This island's western half, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, is car-free and hushed, save for the cicadas' hum. Launch your kayaks and paddle across the tranquil, jade-coloured waters of Veliko Jezero (Great Lake) to the islet housing the 12th-century Benedictine monastery of St. Mary. Later, explore the shaded cycling paths that crisscross the park, perhaps stopping at a lakefront konoba like Konoba Lanterna for fresh oysters and a glass of local rakija as the sun dips below the horizon. The air here carries the scent of pine and salt, a perfect prelude to a quiet evening.

Things to do

Kayak across Veliko Jezero to St. Mary's Isle

Cycle the shaded paths of Mljet National Park

Sample local oysters and rakija at Konoba Lanterna

Explore the car-free village of Pomena

Mooring tip

Anchor in Pomena's sandy bottom, 5-7 metres deep, holding well. Limited space; arrive early in high season.

Zaklopatica
4
Day 4

Pomena → Lastovo (Zaklopatica Bay)

The 25-nautical-mile passage southeast to Lastovo is a rewarding sail, bringing you into a protected archipelago of immense natural beauty. Zaklopatica Bay, on the island's northern shore, offers a natural, fjord-like harbour with deep, clear water and excellent holding. Moor stern-to along the quay, with restaurant terraces just steps away. For a sunset excursion, take a taxi or rent a scooter to the island's highest point, the 160m-high Lastovo Lighthouse, for panoramic views across the archipelago and towards the Italian coast. The surrounding waters are renowned for their clarity, ideal for snorkelling around the numerous small islets and exploring underwater caves. Dining ashore at one of Zaklopatica's konobas, perhaps Konoba Fumari for grilled fish, is a must; the scent of pine resin from the surrounding hills fills the warm evening air as you enjoy local wine under a truly spectacular night sky.

Things to do

Sail into the protected Zaklopatica Bay

Visit the Lastovo Lighthouse for island views

Snorkel the clear waters and underwater caves

Dine on fresh seafood at Konoba Fumari

Mooring tip

Zaklopatica Bay offers stern-to mooring with good holding; restaurants provide lines. Arrive early in season as space is limited.

Korčula
5
Day 5

Zaklopatica → Korčula Town

A 15-nautical-mile sail southwest brings you to Korčula Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site often called 'Little Dubrovnik'. The approach offers stunning views of the fortified old town, a peninsula crowned by St. Mark's Cathedral and ringed by formidable Venetian walls. Drop anchor in the clear waters of Luka Korčula, or secure a stern-to mooring at ACI Marina Korčula, ensuring you call ahead in high season. Spend the afternoon exploring the tightly packed, car-free stone lanes, perhaps pausing for a glass of crisp Grk wine at a konoba like Konoba Adio Mare. In the evening, consider the Moreska Sword Dance, a dramatic spectacle of clashing steel and colourful costumes performed in the open air, a tradition dating back centuries.

Things to do

Explore the medieval walls and Venetian towers

Taste local Grk wine at Konoba Adio Mare

Witness the Moreska Sword Dance performance

Visit the Marco Polo House museum

Mooring tip

ACI Marina Korčula stern-to moorings are available; book ahead. Anchor in Luka Korčula bay in 5-10m sand and weed, holding good.

Mljet
6
Day 6

Korčula → Polače (Mljet)

The 25-nautical-mile passage east brings you to Polače Bay on Mljet, a sheltered natural harbour guarded by ancient Roman palace foundations. Anchor in the bay’s sandy bottom in 5-7 metres, the clear water inviting a pre-dinner swim. Ashore, the village is built around the remnants of a 5th-century Roman complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. For panoramic views, the modest climb up Montokuc Hill rewards with sweeping vistas across the park’s lakes and the Pelješac channel, especially magical at sunset. Dine ashore at a local konoba, where squid ink risotto offers a rich, dark counterpoint to the cicada song at dusk.

Things to do

Anchor in Polače Bay's sandy bottom

Swim the clear, protected waters of the bay

Hike Montokuc Hill for sunset views

Dine on black risotto at a local konoba

Mooring tip

Anchor in Polače Bay's sand in 4-7m; holding is excellent. Dinghy ashore to explore the Roman palace ruins.

Slano
7
Day 7

Polače → Slano

The 30-nautical-mile run north from Polače towards the mainland offers a final chance for a refreshing stop. Consider a brief detour to anchor in the turquoise waters of Suđurađ Bay on Šipan island, or perhaps the sheltered cove of Lopud. As you approach Slano, watch the western mountains ignite in hues of ochre and violet at sunset, a fitting backdrop for your final evening. Moor stern-to in Slano's well-protected harbour, where the water is calm and the shoreline is lined with welcoming restaurants. Enjoy a final Croatian dinner ashore, perhaps sampling local oysters and a glass of Pošip wine, reflecting on the week's passages.

Things to do

Anchor in Suđurađ Bay for a swim

Explore Lopud island's sandy beaches

Dine on fresh oysters in Slano
