Croatia: Split to the Kornati Charter Itinerary

Croatia: Split to the Kornati Itinerary

Croatia: Split to the Kornati Yacht Charter
Northern Dalmatia is a thousand islands deep, a cruising ground where Roman cities and Venetian harbours give way to the bare, uninhabited beauty of the Kornati. Seven days run north from Split, through the stone towns of Trogir and Sibenik, into a national park of pale cliffs and empty anchorages, and on to the sunsets of Zadar.

It is a route that alternates culture with wild, uncrowded nature: a morning in a UNESCO old town, an afternoon at anchor above a white-sand seabed with nothing in sight but rock and water.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Linger where the swimming is good, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a cove worth the detour. What follows is one considered way through the islands; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Split

Step aboard in Split, where daily life still moves inside the walls of Diocletian’s palace, seventeen centuries old and entirely lived-in. Take a coffee on the marble Riva, wander the courtyards and cellars, then sail out into the Adriatic and anchor off a nearby island for a first swim as the city falls away.

Day 2

Trogir

A short hop brings Trogir, a small medieval town set on its own island and ringed by Venetian walls. Its cathedral and stone lanes are a UNESCO site, best explored on foot before the day tips toward the water. Moor along the riva, then anchor in a quiet cove for the afternoon.

Day 3

Sibenik & Krka

Sail to Sibenik, a wholly Croatian town of steep stone streets crowned by the cathedral of St James. Inland, the Krka river falls through a lush national park in a series of waterfalls worth the detour upstream. Return to the yacht by evening and anchor among the islands for the night.

Day 4

Kornati Islands

Now the landscape empties. The Kornati is a scatter of some 140 stark, uninhabited islands, pale cliffs dropping into deep blue with barely a building in sight. Anchor in a secluded bay, swim in water that seems to hold the light, and dine on fresh fish at a simple island konoba, gloriously alone.

Day 5

Dugi Otok

Continue to Dugi Otok, the long island guarding the seaward edge of the archipelago. Its Telascica park and the bay of Sakarun are the draw, turquoise water over a white-sand seabed, sea-cliffs to walk above. Spend the day swimming in one of the Adriatic’s loveliest bays.

Day 6

Zadar

Cruise to Zadar, a lived-in city of Roman ruins and Venetian gates with a modern twist: a Sea Organ that turns the waves into sound, and a light installation that glows after dark. Wander the marble streets, watch a sunset Hitchcock rated the world’s finest, and anchor nearby for the evening.

Day 7

Pasman & Ugljan

The week closes among the green, sheltered islands of Pasman and Ugljan, just off Zadar, a patchwork of olive groves, vineyards and small fishing harbours. Anchor in a calm bay for a final swim, take a last Dalmatian lunch on deck, and let the islands see you out.
