Sailing from Split to Dubrovnik Tour Itinerary
Day 1 Sail Hvar Island
Meet your Skipper in Split and board your charter for a week on the water! Get your first glimpse of the wondrous Adriatic Sea as you sail towards Hvar, one of the most popular islands in the Dalmatian archipelago. Upon berthing in Hvar town, the area is your oyster. Choose to disembark and stroll through the Venetian architecture, find an inviting spot to have a drink, or just stay on the boat for a private view of the sunset.

Day 2 Vis Island
Spend a day discovering the natural treasures and history of Vis Island. Your Skipper can bring you to hidden coves that house gorgeous white-sand beaches. Get your snorkelling gear out here—the water is calm and clear, and it’s a favourite spot for divers. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mediterranean monk seal on your underwater exploration! Vis town in the northern part of the island retains its rich history through its numerous monuments, fortresses, and bunkers—Vis Island played a role in the Second World War and was used as a naval base for Yugoslavia until they abandoned it in 1989.
