Day 1 / 7
Primosten
1
Day 1

Skradin → Primošten

Cast off from Skradin, the historic gateway to Krka National Park's celebrated waterfalls. After a morning spent swimming in the park's clear waters, set a course south for Primošten, a picturesque fishing town perched on a peninsula, its terracotta roofs cascading towards the sea. The 22-nautical-mile passage will bring you to a sheltered bay just west of town, where you can anchor in calm waters before dinghying ashore. For dinner, seek out a hillside konoba like Konoba Toni, known for its authentic peka, slow-cooked under embers. Afterwards, explore Primošten's narrow stone alleyways, worn smooth by centuries of footsteps, as the cicadas begin their evening chorus.

Things to do

Swim beneath Krka National Park waterfalls

Sail 22 NM to Primošten peninsula

Dine on traditional peka at Konoba Toni

Explore Primošten's ancient stone alleyways

Mooring tip

Anchor in the bay west of Primošten; holding is good in sand and weed. Dinghy ashore to explore the town.

Šolta
2
Day 2

Primošten → Šolta Island

Departing Primošten, make the 20-nautical-mile passage west towards the island of Šolta, a verdant landscape scented with wild herbs and ancient olive trees. Aim for the westernmost point and the picturesque fishing village of Maslinica, a sheltered harbour known for its 17th-century castle. Drop anchor in the clear waters of Šešula Bay, a popular spot for yachts, or secure stern-to along the Maslinica waterfront. Lunch ashore on a hearty gregada, the island's signature fish stew, perhaps at Konoba Škoj. In the afternoon, wander inland to discover the stone bunja shepherd huts, a testament to traditional island life. Enjoy a glass of the local Dobričić red as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky above the Dinaric Alps.

Things to do

Hvar
3
Day 3

Šolta → Hvar Town (Hvar Island)

The 20-nautical-mile passage from Šolta to Hvar Town is a journey into Croatia's most glamorous harbour, framed by Venetian palaces and backed by lavender-scented hills. Moor stern-to along the Riva, the town's vibrant waterfront promenade, where the scent of pine from the nearby Pakleni Islands drifts on the afternoon breeze. Ascend the 16th-century Fortica Fortress for commanding views over the archipelago and the terracotta rooftops below. For a quieter interlude, take a short dinghy ride to the Pakleni Islands and swim in the turquoise waters of Palmižana Bay. As dusk settles, return to Hvar Town for dinner at a waterfront konoba, perhaps sampling the local black risotto amid the gentle hum of the evening.

Milna
4
Day 4

Hvar → Milna (Brač Island)

A 20-nautical-mile passage east brings you to Milna on Brač Island, a harbour renowned for its creamy limestone architecture. Anchor in one of the sheltered bays north of town, perhaps near the famed Zlatni Rat beach, though the best swimming is often found in quieter coves. For a cultural detour, consider a short dinghy trip to the Dragon's Cave (Zmajeva špilja), a site steeped in ancient Slavic lore. As dusk settles, Milna's waterfront konobas offer local specialities. Try vitalac, a traditional lamb offal dish cooked on a spit, perhaps accompanied by a glass of local travarica. The island's white limestone cliffs catch the evening light, turning a warm amber hue, a perfect end to a day under sail.

Day 5

Milna → Rogoznica

This 20-nautical-mile leg south-west from Milna brings you to the sheltered harbour of Rogoznica, a popular stopover known for its deep, protected bay and the unique Dragon's Eye Lake. Anchor in the clear waters of the main bay, where Roman-era shipwrecks lie just beneath the surface, offering excellent snorkelling. Alternatively, explore the small fishing village of Lozica, or take the short dinghy ride to the causeway connecting the mainland to the islet of Kopara, home to the Church of St. Nicholas. The air here carries the scent of pine and salt, and as the sun dips, the sky above the archipelago turns a deep ochre. For dinner, Konoba "Mario" offers fresh seafood with views of the bustling harbour.

Rogoznica → Šibenik

A 25-nautical-mile passage north brings you back to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Šibenik, a stark contrast to the quiet bays of the past week. Moor stern-to at the well-equipped Marina Mandalina, just outside the channel entrance. From here, a brisk walk through the car-free old town reveals the stunning St. James' Cathedral, a UNESCO site renowned for its intricate stone lacework. Continue your exploration up to St. Michael's Fortress for panoramic views, then cool off with a swim at the popular Banj Beach. For dinner, indulge in the Michelin-starred experience at Pelegrini, where innovative Dalmatian cuisine meets a medieval ambience, perhaps paired with local Maraschino liqueur.

Šibenik → Skradin

Begin the 12-nautical-mile return leg up the Krka River towards Skradin, retracing yesterday's scenic passage through the national park. The river's verdant banks and the calming effect of freshwater sailing offer a gentle conclusion to the week. Should time permit before reaching Skradin, consider a brief stop near the Roški Slap waterfalls for a final, refreshing dip in the park's cool waters. Upon arrival in Skradin, secure your catamaran stern-to along the town's welcoming waterfront promenade. For your farewell dinner, seek out Konoba Dalmatino or a similar establishment lining the river, where traditional peka and locally cured pršut are served. As dusk settles, the scent of pine from the surrounding hills mingles with the river air, a perfect sensory note to recall your Adriatic adventure.
