Šibenik to Dubrovnik
A 7-Day One-Way Crewed Yacht Charter from Split to Dubrovnik
Šibenik to Dubrovnik is a seven-night, one-way yacht charter that sails the heart of the Dalmatian coast, finishing at the storied walls of Dubrovnik. From Šibenik you cross to Maslinica, the only harbour on the western side of tranquil Šolta, then to Hvar Town with its marble squares and hilltop fortress. The route reaches remote Vis — Komiža, the Blue Cave and water of astonishing clarity — before turning south to Korčula, the walled, wine-making town said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. The green national-park island of Mljet offers a day of forest-fringed saltwater lakes and quiet anchorages, and the Elaphiti island of Šipan provides a final, peaceful night before the grand finale. You arrive in Dubrovnik by sea, the medieval ramparts of the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ rising straight from the water — the most dramatic way to end a voyage. A one-way route from north to south, it strings together six of Croatia’s finest islands into a single, perfectly paced week.

2
Maslinica → Hvar Town
On to Hvar, anchoring off the Pakleni Islands for the swimming before berthing for Hvar's celebrated evening on the promenade.
3
Hvar → Vis
The crossing to Vis, the Adriatic's most remote inhabited island. Komiža for dinner, the Blue Cave on neighbouring Biševo by tender, and quiet coves all to yourself.
4
Vis → Korčula
A longer leg (around 44 nm) to Korčula and its walled medieval town. Sunset from the ramparts, dinner in the old quarter.
5
Korčula → Mljet
Cruise to Mljet, a third of which is national park — two saltwater lakes, a Benedictine island monastery, and pine forest down to the water. The greenest stop on the route.
6
Mljet → Šipan (Elaphiti Islands)
A short hop to Šipan, largest of the Elaphiti Islands just off Dubrovnik. Sleepy, fragrant with citrus, and a final quiet anchorage before the city. Optional detour to Cavtat.
7
Šipan → Dubrovnik
The final leg to Dubrovnik. Sail in under the great city walls, berth, and spend the evening inside the old town — a fitting end to the voyage.
