Pula-Brijuni-Mali Losinj- Rab- Zadar - Luka Telascica- Kornati- Sibenik-Krka-Trogir
Day 1
Pula has an international airport where your guests can fly into. Here, they can spend the rest of the day strolling around the city’s remarkable Roman amphitheatre. The amphitheatre is still used, especially in the summer time, as a stage for many cultural events. The most well-known of these is the “Pula film festival”. So if you happen to be here at this time of year, your guests could catch an open-air screening after an early dinner in one of the city’s fine restaurants.
Day 2
After breakfast set sail for lunch at The Viking in the Limski channel. Here your guests can admire the dramatic canyon and sample some of the best mussels and oysters in the country. Afterwards, you can head back south to the National Park Brijuni to spend the night. While underway, have your guests enjoy the view of small nostalgic coastal towns. You can anchor in the beautiful bay of Mali Brijun or we can help you obtain a berth in Veliki Brijun, one of the best mega yacht destinations Croatia has to offer.
Day 3
If your guests love golf they are in for a treat. Originally built in 1922, Brijun’s golf course was at one time the largest in Europe. Also, the Brijuni archipelago previously acted as the official holiday resort for former President Tito where he entertained world leaders and celebrities. So, even if your guests aren’t golf lovers they can enjoy many other attractions that the island has to offer. One of the most interesting is certainly the open zoo safari filled with exotic animals.
After lunch, cruise towards the island of Losinj. You can stop to anchor off Mali Losinj for the afternoon to swim and snorkel. If you are lucky, you might see Croatia’s famous pink dolphins.
Next, head for the island Rab and spend the night in the town Rab. Approaching from the sea at night, the silhouette of its bell towers are often compared with a four-masted
ship. The old town Rab could be the Hvar in waiting and is one of Europe’s best preserved medieval settlements.
Day 4
Head for Zadar, but first stop at the long narrow island of Pag, well known for its sheep cheese, lace, and lamb meat. A perfect place to anchor is at the party beach Zrce. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere at this beach, where the party lasts all day.
On arrival in Zadar you can either stay at anchor or let us secure you a berth in the town’s marina. Your guests can stroll around the old town peninsula, visit the Church St. Donat and other historic sites, enjoy dinner and sunset at a beautiful restaurant “Foce”, the one Alfred Hitchcock adored, and afterwards visit the spectacle of the “Greeting To The Sun” accompanied by the notes of the “Sea Organ”.
Day 5
It’s a day to return to nature. With a short ride you can get to Luka Telascica Nature Park and drop anchor for the day. You’ll probably have to pay a park fee, but it’s worth it.
With your tender you can take your guests to Katina islet for an informal lunch. Afterward, they can swim in the saltwater lake and spend the rest of the day onboard, enjoying the sounds and smells of nature.
Day 6
The morning can be spent admiring the beauty of NP Kornati before heading south toward Sibenik and NP Krka. For another rustic lunch you can drop anchor between Ravni Zakan and Kameni Zakan and take your guests to a local “konoba” on Ravni Zakan. On your way to Krka estuary and the small town of Skradin, you’ll pass many unspoilt islands and have a chance to admire the town’s cathedral that is under UNESCO protection. You can drop anchor or grab a berth in Skradin’s port or its marina.
Day 7
After breakfast your guests can take a little trip with local boats to visit NP Krka and its beautiful, unique waterfalls. They can choose to either go together with other park visitors in regular tourist boats or they can charter a private, more expensive tour with a smaller boat and personal tour guide. MYS will gladly assist you with all the arrangements if you wish. Later in the afternoon you can sail to Sibenik, moor opposite the cathedral and have your guests visit the town center. You can stay overnight or head farther south and spend the night in Marina Frapa in Rogoznica or anchor in Uvala Soline.
Day 8
Before you finish your trip in Trogir take your guests for a last swim on Drvenik Island where you can drop anchor between Drvenik Veli and Krknjas Veli. The water here is crystal clear. If there is enough time you can take them by tender for an early lunch in a local “konoba”. Afterward, you’ll cruise to Trogir and berth alongside its very busy “riva”. Split International Airport is not to far a way, but in the summer time traffic jams are regular so be sure to plan enough time for your guests to catch their flights.
