Split Itineraries: Day Charters and Multi‑Day Routes

Split’s central position on the Dalmatian coast means every major island is within day‑charter range, while multi‑day routes open up the further‑flung gems of Vis, Korčula and the Blue Cave. The 3‑day and 4‑day itineraries below cover different ground and can be stitched together into a 7‑day voyage without repeating a single anchorage. Every route is fully customisable – your captain adjusts stops and pacing based on wind, sea state and your group’s mood.

Day Charter Routes from Split

Split to Brač and Zlatni Rat: The Classic Day Out

Depart ACI Marina Split mid‑morning and cruise 7.5 nautical miles south to Brač (25 minutes). Anchor off Zlatni Rat, the iconic shifting pebble beach near Bol, for a morning of swimming and paddleboarding in turquoise shallows with Vidova Gora rising behind. Lunch on the aft deck – your chef prepares grilled brancin, Dalmatian tomato salad and chilled Pošip – then cruise along Brač’s southern coast to Lovračina bay, a quiet cove with a sandy beach and the ruins of an early‑Christian basilica. Return to Split by late afternoon. Duration: 7–9 hours.

Split to the Pakleni Islands: The Snorkeller’s Route

Cruise south to the Pakleni archipelago off Hvar (19 nautical miles, 1 hour). Anchor in Palmižana bay on Sveti Klement for a morning snorkel over rocky reef and Posidonia meadows, then hop to Jerolim for a swim in its sheltered cove. Lunch at the Palmižana garden restaurant or on board, then explore Marinkovac’s quiet southern bays before heading back to Split. Duration: 8–10 hours.

Split to Trogir and Šolta: Heritage and Olive Oil

Cruise north‑west to Trogir (13 nautical miles, 40 minutes) and berth at the town quay. Explore the UNESCO‑listed old town – the Cathedral of St Lawrence, the Kamerlengo fortress, the narrow stone lanes – then cross the channel to Šolta (9 nautical miles from Split). Anchor at Maslinica for an olive‑oil tasting at the Olynthia estate (internationally awarded) and a swim in the bay. Return to Split via the scenic channel between Šolta and Brač. Duration: 8–10 hours.

3‑Day Split Yacht Charter Itinerary: Brač, Hvar and Šolta

Day 1: Split to Brač

Board your yacht at ACI Marina Split by mid‑morning. Cruise south to Brač (7.5 nautical miles, 25 minutes) and anchor off Zlatni Rat for a morning swim and paddleboard session in the shallows. Your chef lays out a Dalmatian lunch on the aft deck. In the afternoon, reposition to Milna on Brač’s western coast – a deep, sheltered harbour framed by stone houses and palm trees, where the 18th‑century parish church overlooks the bay. Dinner ashore at one of Milna’s waterfront konobas: grilled squid, peka‑roasted lamb, and a carafe of local wine.

Day 2: Brač to Hvar via the Pakleni Islands

Cruise south from Milna across the Hvar Channel to the Pakleni Islands (12 nautical miles, 40 minutes). Anchor in Palmižana bay for a morning of snorkelling and swimming in crystal‑clear water. Lunch at the Palmižana garden restaurant among subtropical plants, or feast on your chef’s fresh‑catch spread on the aft deck. In the afternoon, cruise to Hvar Town (3 nautical miles) and berth at the harbour. Walk the marble Riva, climb to the Fortica fortress, browse the boutiques and galleries, and settle in for dinner at Giaxa (traditional Dalmatian with a contemporary twist) or Passarola in the old town.

Day 3: Hvar to Šolta and Return to Split

Depart Hvar after breakfast and cruise north‑west to the island of Ščedro (8 nautical miles) for a mid‑morning snorkel in quiet, protected waters. Continue north to Šolta (14 nautical miles), anchoring at Stomorska or Maslinica for a farewell lunch. Your chef pulls out all the stops: octopus under the peka, Dalmatian salad, homemade olive tapenade and a glass of Plavac Mali. Cruise the final 9 nautical miles back to Split, arriving by late afternoon with time for a sunset stroll along the Riva.

4‑Day Split Yacht Charter Itinerary: Vis, the Blue Cave and Korčula

Day 1: Split to Vis

Board at Split by mid‑morning and cruise south‑west to Vis (30 nautical miles, 1.5 hours). Anchor at Vis Town and explore the Venetian waterfront, the Roman amphitheatre remains and the quiet lanes. Dinner at a harbourside konoba – Vis’s pogača flatbread, grilled fish and a chilled glass of Vugava (an indigenous white grape found only on Vis).

Day 2: Blue Cave, Stiniva and Komiža

Depart early for Biševo (5 nautical miles from Komiža). Enter the Blue Cave by small boat – the sapphire light effect inside is most vivid between 10 a.m. and noon. Swim and snorkel in Biševo’s bays, then cruise to Stiniva – the hidden beach enclosed by hundred‑metre cliffs. Your tender threads through the narrow gap into a natural amphitheatre of impossibly clear water. Continue to Komiža for lunch at Konoba Jastozera (lobster, since 1883). Anchor overnight off Vis’s south coast or in Komiža harbour.

Day 3: Vis to Korčula

Cruise south‑east to Korčula (25 nautical miles, 1.5 hours). Berth at Korčula Town – a miniature Dubrovnik with a herringbone street plan, Gothic palaces and the Marco Polo Museum. Walk the walls, sample Grk wine at a harbourside bar, and dine at LD Restaurant or Konoba Mate. Your chef can arrange a wine‑tasting excursion to the Lumbarda vineyards nearby.

Day 4: Korčula to Mljet and Return

Cruise south‑east to Mljet (20 nautical miles, 1 hour). Anchor at Polače bay and visit Mljet National Park’s interconnected salt lakes, the 12th‑century Benedictine monastery on its own islet, and the surrounding holm‑oak forest. Swim in the lake (4°C warmer than the sea), then enjoy a farewell lunch on the aft deck as the yacht sets course back to Split (65 nautical miles, half‑day passage) or continues south to Dubrovnik (25 nautical miles).

Guests looking for a longer voyage can combine the 3‑day Brač–Hvar–Šolta route with the 4‑day Vis–Blue Cave–Korčula–Mljet route for a comprehensive 7‑day charter covering six islands and two UNESCO sites – without repeating a single stop.
