Detailed itinerary

1

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

2

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 the best recipe for relaxing during the long, warm summer days.

3

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.

5

Swim stop and lunchtime in Notos restaurant. Notos Hvar is a modern and almost tropically-flavoured colonial restaurant in the village of Milna on the island of Hvar. The dishes are innovative and fusion-like, moderately priced with clever add-ons (such as San Pellegrino sparkling water) that can make them relatively expensive, but the staff is welcoming and service is swift. The restaurant has received high ratings from diners who have enjoyed great risottos with asparagus and shrimp.

Stop 6

We will stop on The Pakleni Islands, also known as the Paklinski Islands, in Bay Stipanska. Pakleni islands form an enchanting archipelago off the southwestern coast of Hvar, Croatia. Comprising about 20 small islands and islets, this picturesque cluster emerges like a string of jewels in the Adriatic Sea, each island offering a unique charm and natural beauty.

Characterized by crystal-clear turquoise waters, hidden coves, and lush greenery, the Pakleni Islands are a haven for boaters, sailors, and nature enthusiasts. The islands are adorned with dense pine forests, creating a fragrant and refreshing atmosphere as you explore their shores. The Pakleni Islands are a paradise for those seeking secluded beaches and tranquil anchorages. Visitors can indulge in a myriad of water activities, from swimming and snorkelling in secluded bays.

We will visit one more spot on Pakleni islands called Mlini. According to the tourist opinion, Mlini is one of the most beautiful and most romantic beaches. Favourite among young couples due to the turquoise blue colour of the bay and surrounding vegetation.
