We will meet in the port of Hvar. Please arrive 10 minutes before so that you have enough time to find the yacht.

From Port Hvar, we will sail towards the beautiful Bay Lučišća which is located not far from Sveta Nedjelja. The Pebble beach of Lučišća bathed in sun, crystal clear waters, thick pine forests and the song of crickets are the best recipe for relaxing during the long, warm summer days.

We will be visiting The Red Rocks in Hvar which are a geological marvel, a striking testament to the island's diverse landscape. Situated along the southern coast, these dramatic, rust-coloured cliffs rise majestically from the Adriatic Sea, creating a stunning contrast with the deep blue waters. The layers of red limestone have been sculpted by centuries of wind and waves, forming an awe-inspiring natural spectacle. Renowned for their vibrant hues, especially during sunset, the Red Rocks offer a captivating backdrop for adventurous cliff diving or a leisurely boat ride along the rugged shoreline. Visiting the Red Rocks is not just a visual feast but an opportunity to witness the raw, untamed beauty that defines Hvar's coastal allure.

Dubovica Bay in Hvar is a coastal paradise that enchants its pristine beauty and inviting charm. Nestled between rolling hills and framed by vineyards, this sheltered bay boasts a postcard-perfect pebble beach and transparent turquoise waters. The historic Dubovica stone house, perched at the edge of the bay, adds a touch of old-world charm to the scene. Ideal for both relaxation and adventure, Dubovica Bay invites visitors to bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip, or explore the captivating underwater world through snorkeling. With its harmonious blend of natural splendour and cultural richness, Dubovica Bay stands as a quintessential Hvar destination, capturing the hearts of those who seek tranquillity in a Mediterranean haven. Zaraće Bay offers a tranquil escape for those seeking a serene coastal retreat. Enclosed by rugged cliffs and lush vegetation, the bay's crystal-clear waters invite visitors to indulge in a refreshing swim or snorkel amidst vibrant marine life.
