Day 1 SPLIT - BRAČ (Pučišća) 16NM
Pučišća village is one of the prettiest villages in Europe. It is famous for its white limestone and beautiful architecture.
The Stonemason's School in Pučišća is the only one of its kind in Croatia and one of the few in Europe. It was used in decorating the vestibule of the United Nations building in New York, which makes Brač’s people, together with all other Croats, very proud. It was said that parts of the White House in Washington were also built of Brač’s stone. Pučišća is also renowned for its historic olive groves, high-quality olive oil, and exceptional wines from the Pučišće vineyards.
Before docking your yachts in Pučišća, stop by the beautiful sandy bay of Lovrečina. Lovrečina is a wide, sandy bay, suitable for a swimming stop if you are sailing with children.

Day 2 BRAČ (Pučišća) - HVAR (Vrboska) 22NM
Sailing around the east coast of the island of Brac towards the central north coast of Hvar, you will discover the beautiful Vrboska. Along a narrow and curving fjord, surrounded by thick pine forest, lies the smallest but probably the most beautiful town on Hvar island.
Although Vrboska is the smallest town on Hvar, it has the largest marina – ACI Marina Vrboska. Her location is at the bottom of the long, narrow bay, which is why it is virtually the perfect harbor, because of its protection from all winds.
From Jelsa, you can take a short trip to the nearby villages, Pitve, Vrbanj, Vrisnik, and Svirče. Cycling trails, along with the Starigrad Fields, stretching from Vrboska to Starigrad, are ideal for lovers of active holidays.
Day 3 HVAR (Vrboska ) - HVAR (Stari Grad) 15NM
The historic, pedestrian-only Stari Grad consists of stone, orange-tiled rooftop dwellings and narrow alleys that cluster around the quaint port.
Stari Grad is one of the oldest towns in Europe and the oldest in Croatia. Because of its central island position, for centuries, it has been a refuge for seafarers, and today, one of the favorite sailing destinations.
Stari Grad and its area are perfect for long walks and strolls. Taverns and restaurants with healthy homemade food and traditionally excellent island wines will provide you with a vacation you will not forget.

Day 4 HVAR (Stari Grad) - VIS (Komiža) 28NM
Komiža town is located in a deep bay on the western side of the island Vis at the foothill of 600 m high mountain Hum. Komiža has always taken pride in the fishermen’s history, which is preserved in the fishermen’s museum located in the old Venetian tower on the promenade, the only one in Croatia. You can find a berth on the main breakwater or the mooring buoy in front of the harbor.
Day 5 VIS (Komiža) - VIS (Town) 16NM
Before sailing back to the town of Vis, we suggest a visit to the island of Biševo and its natural phenomenon, the Blue Cave, located 5 nautical miles southeast of Komiža.
Vis Town is on the northeastern part of the island of Vis at the bottom of the deep-drawn and well-protected cove. It is one of the most famous sailing destinations on the Adriatic. Vis is known as the warmest town on the Adriatic. It has a certain underlying charm that’s impossible to resist. It’s the most picturesque fishing settlement in Croatia.
Traditional local dishes you can try in dozens of restaurants in the city, and taverns within the rural households around the city. Don't miss trying the regional specialties, including Vis bread, cake, and grilled pilchards.
Day 6 VIS - ŠOLTA (Stomorska) 21 NM
Stomorska is a village nestled cozily in the northeastern part of the island of Šolta. It is renowned for its fishing and maritime traditions and has significantly contributed to the island's development. Although fishing today is more of a hobby than a profession, the love of the sea is felt in all the pores of the everyday life of the inhabitants.
The place is a perfect blend of the old stone houses, sailing boats, and ‘kaići’ (small wooden fishing boats) docked only a few meters away from Dalmatian taverns and modern cafes. Stomorska is a place where you can experience an accurate Mediterranean way of life.
