day 1 : Šibenik – Kaprije
Your journey starts in the old city of Sibenik, where the past and the present blend together perfectly. People often say that Sibenik is a secret gem of Croatia. It has a beautiful old town with winding alleys, churches that date back hundreds of years, and the impressive St. James’ Cathedral, which is on the UNESCO list. Before you set sail, take some time to learn about the city’s long past and eat at one of its restaurants right on the water.
As you leave Sibenik, you’ll head towards Kaprije, a peaceful island. This island is a great place to spend the first night on the sailboat. The crystal-clear waters in the bays around Kaprije are great for swimming and snorkelling. You’ll also have the chance to visit Kaprije, a charming town where it seems like time has stopped.
day 2 : Kaprije – Opat – NP Kornati, Piškera
On the second day of your sailboat trip, you’ll sail towards the island of Opat. Even though Opat is small, there is no denying its beauty. Explore its quaint fishing town, where colourful boats line the shore and friendly locals greet you with warm smiles.
Your trip to Kornati National Park, a real sailors’ paradise, is the best part of the day. You will stop at Piskera, a small bay in the park that is known for how beautiful it is. The Kornati group is made up of more than 100 islands and islets, and each one is different. Take a walk through nature on Piskera or go for a swim in the clean water of the park. Don’t miss the chance to eat fresh fish at one of the park’s simple restaurants in the evening.
day 3 : Piškera – Telaščica bay
The next place you’ll go to is the beautiful Telascica bay. Part of Kornati National Park, this natural beauty is a sailor’s dream come true. The bay is famous for its beautiful rocks, calm saltwater lake, and wide variety of sea life. As you drop anchor in Telascica, take some time to see the area, such as the tall rocks of Dugi Otok and the beautiful Mir Lake.
One of the best things about Telascica is the Salina Nature Park, where snorkelling gives you a great view of the underwater life. Keep your eyes open for dolphins, which sometimes come to the bay. In the evening, you can enjoy the quiet of the bay while relaxing on your sailboat under a sky full of stars.
day 4 : Telaščica – Veli Iž
Today, your catamaran trip takes you to Veli Iz, a charming island in the Zadar group. Veli Iz is known for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful beaches. It is a great place to spend a day swimming, sunbathing, and looking for seashells.
Explore the town of Veli Iz, where you can see the local church and learn about the artistic history of the island, such as its famous pottery. You can take a slow walk along the beautiful coast or just relax on one of the island’s quiet beaches.
day 5 : Veli Iž – Molat
As your boat trip goes on, you’ll head towards the island of Molat. With its quiet coves and clean beaches, this less-known spot is a great place to get away from the busy world. When you anchor in Molat’s main town, you’ll find a place that feels like real island life in Croatia.
Explore the village’s small streets, where there are taverns where you can try traditional Croatian food. Hike up to Molat’s highest point, Mount Radak, for a view of all the islands around it. Molat is a great place to relax and enjoy the calm of the Adriatic because it has a laid-back vibe.

Drop anchor in one of the quiet bays and spend the day swimming, snorkelling, and doing other water sports. If you want to try something new, you can walk or ride a bike around Ugljan to see its beautiful views and charming towns. As night falls, have a BBQ on your catamaran and watch the sun go down over the Adriatic.
