Scattered along Croatia’s central Adriatic coast, the islands of Dalmatia combine limestone coves, pine-fringed bays and some of the region’s most atmospheric old towns. Seen from the water, the landscape feels both softer and more expansive — fortified harbours, vineyard-covered hills and quiet inlets appearing between island channels and open sea.
10 nights in Croatia, combining 2 nights in Split, 7 nights on a private crewed yacht and 1 final night in Split. Includes return flights, private transfers, a half-day private walking tour of Split and a 4-cabin catamaran with professional crew. From €2,499 per person.
Exploring Central Dalmatia by yacht offers a natural way to experience Croatia’s island coast, particularly for families travelling together. Historic towns rise directly from the water, quiet bays appear between the islands and the rhythm of the journey is shaped by time on deck, swimming stops and evenings ashore.
Over the course of a week, sail between Vis, Lastovo, Korčula, Hvar and Brač, balancing Croatia’s best-known islands with quieter stretches of coastline that feel far more remote.
Days unfold at an easy pace — mornings spent sailing or swimming from the boat, afternoons exploring harbour towns, paddleboarding in sheltered bays or simply relaxing on deck, and evenings ashore enjoying the lively yet relaxed atmosphere of the Adriatic.

Arrive in Split and transfer privately to your hotel near the seafront. This lively coastal city offers an ideal introduction to Croatia, where Roman history and everyday life merge inside the walls of Diocletian’s Palace.
During a privately guided walking tour, explore the historic centre, wandering through stone streets, hidden courtyards and lively squares that have evolved within the ancient palace complex. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy the waterfront promenade or settle into one of the many restaurants overlooking the harbour.
Central Dalmatia is one of the most rewarding regions of the Adriatic to explore by yacht. Distances between islands are manageable and the sailing routes reveal constant changes in scenery, from historic harbour towns to quiet coves and forested islands. This region works particularly well for families and first-time yacht charters while still offering enough variety for returning visitors who want to explore the Dalmatian islands in greater depth.
