Venice Charter Itinerary

Venice Itinerary

Venice Yacht Charter
A two-week voyage down the Adriatic from incomparable Venice, crossing to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and back, taking in the best of two shores. This is a grand tour of the Adriatic, Italian ports and Croatian islands, Roman cities and Venetian towns, a sweeping route between two of Europe’s most beautiful coasts. Expect the Grand Canal and the Blue Cave, walled cities and hidden coves, a rich and varied cruise.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Venice

Begin in the romantic city of Venice, departing the iconic Grand Canal and heading out across the lagoon. Take in the palaces and domes rising from the water, then set a course south down the Adriatic.

Brac

Sail to Brac, one of Croatia’s largest and most scenic islands, and anchor near the famous golden-horn beach of Zlatni Rat. Swim off the shifting spit, snorkel the clear water, and laze on the shore.
