Why Visit Croatia?
Host have chosen the Dalmatian Coast—a breathtaking stretch of islands, history, and crystal-clear waters—as our home base! (Fun fact: Croatia’s coastline boasts over 1,000 islands, each with its own unique charm!)
Nestled along the Adriatic Sea, Croatia offers a perfect blend of ancient history, Mediterranean beauty, and island serenity. Time slows down here—the rhythm of the waves, the scent of pine trees, and the golden glow of sunset over the terracotta rooftops create a feeling of effortless escape.
Here, you won’t find crowded resorts or flashy distractions—just medieval towns, hidden coves, and the Adriatic at its most stunning. It’s a place where you can truly disconnect, unwind, and let the magic of the Mediterranean bring you back to yourself.
Our journey will take us from the historic port of Split, through the lively streets of Hvar, the medieval charm of Korčula, the timeless beauty of Dubrovnik, and the tranquil island landscapes of Mljet, Brač, and Šolta.
Picture yourself wandering through ancient stone alleys, tasting locally-produced olive oil and wine, swimming in hidden turquoise bays, and watching the sun dip below the horizon from the deck of a yacht. Whether it’s exploring Diocletian’s Palace, hiking to Vidova Gora, or simply sipping espresso in a seaside café, every moment here feels like something out of a dream.
Croatia is where adventure meets relaxation, history meets nature, and every island holds a story waiting to be discovered.

Itinierary:
Day 1 – Board Yacht in Split
Welcome aboard MY President, your luxurious home for the week. After settling in, we’ll toast to the journey ahead with a welcome drink before heading ashore to explore Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 4th century. Wander through its ancient corridors, where Roman history blends seamlessly with modern cafes and shops. As the evening sets in, we’ll indulge in a wine and olive oil tasting at a local tasting room, discovering the rich flavors of Dalmatia before returning to the yacht for a restful night.
Day 2 – Hvar Island
Hvar, known as the sunniest island in Croatia, offers a perfect mix of history, glamour, and natural beauty. We’ll start the day by strolling through Hvar’s Old Town, where Venetian-era stone buildings and lively piazzas set the scene. A visit to the 16th-century Fortica Fortress provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Pakleni Islands and the shimmering Adriatic below. The afternoon is yours to explore: relax at one of the island’s many hidden coves, sip cocktails at a chic beach bar, or discover Hvar’s renowned nightlife, where elegant lounges and vibrant clubs keep the energy high.
Day 3 – Korčula
Often referred to as "Little Dubrovnik," Korčula is a medieval gem surrounded by ancient stone walls. We’ll walk through its labyrinth of narrow streets, each designed in a fishbone pattern to protect against strong winds. As the birthplace of Marco Polo, Korčula is rich with history and legends. Enjoy a traditional meal at a local konoba (tavern), where you can taste grilled seafood, homemade pasta, and the island’s famous white wine, Grk. In the evening, a special treat awaits—watching a performance of Moreška, an ancient sword dance unique to Korčula.
Day 4 – Dubrovnik
Known as "The Pearl of the Adriatic," Dubrovnik is a city of timeless beauty. We’ll take a guided tour through its Old Town, where medieval walls, Baroque churches, and charming squares create a picture-perfect setting. Walk along the famous Stradun, the city’s vibrant main street, and visit sites such as Rector’s Palace, Sponza Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize many familiar filming locations! In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to take a cable car ride up Mount Srđ for spectacular views or relax at one of Dubrovnik’s many seaside cafés.
Day 5 – Mljet
We’ll drop anchor near Mljet National Park, an unspoiled paradise of emerald lakes, lush forests, and serene beauty. The morning is perfect for exploring via eBikes or hiking, leading to the island’s two stunning saltwater lakes. In the middle of Veliko Jezero (Great Lake), visit the Benedictine Monastery on St. Mary’s Island, a peaceful retreat with a fascinating history. The evening is all about tranquility—enjoy a starlit dinner on deck, with the serene sounds of nature surrounding us.
Day 6 – Brač
As the largest island in Dalmatia, Brač is a place of rugged beauty and local charm. We’ll visit Bol, home to Zlatni Rat Beach, often ranked among the world’s most beautiful. Its unique V-shaped shoreline shifts with the tides, creating an ever-changing landscape. Beyond the beach, Brač is famous for its limestone quarries, which provided stone for the White House in Washington, D.C. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon discovering quaint villages, centuries-old vineyards, and olive groves, or take a scenic hike to Vidova Gora, the highest peak on the Adriatic islands, offering stunning panoramic views.
Day 7 – Šolta
For our final full day, we’ll visit Šolta, an island of authentic charm and peaceful seclusion. Unlike its more touristy neighbors, Šolta has remained beautifully untouched, known for its centuries-old traditions of olive oil production, beekeeping, and winemaking. Visit a family-run honey farm, sample award-winning olive oils, or simply unwind at one of the island’s hidden coves, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. This is a perfect place to slow down, soak in the Dalmatian lifestyle, and savor the last sunset of our journey.
Day 8 – Return to Split
We’ll set sail early for our return to Split, arriving around 9 AM. After breakfast onboard, it’s time for farewells and fond memories as we disembark. Whether continuing your travels or heading home, you’ll leave with a heart full of unforgettable experiences and the magic of Croatia forever imprinted in your soul.
What to Expect
Sunsets & Secluded Bays: Lose yourself in the beauty of the Dalmatian coast, where each island offers pristine beaches, hidden coves, and panoramic viewpoints. Whether you're watching the sun sink into the Adriatic Sea from Fortica Fortress in Hvar or enjoying a golden hour swim in Mljet’s tranquil waters, every moment feels like a postcard come to life.
Medieval Towns & Ancient History: Step back in time as you wander through cobblestone streets, past centuries-old stone buildings, and under grand city walls that have stood the test of time. From Diocletian’s Palace in Split to the legendary walls of Dubrovnik, history isn't just something you read about here—you walk through it, touch it, and experience it firsthand.
Local Flavors & Island Wines: Croatia is a paradise for food and wine lovers. Indulge in fresh seafood straight from the Adriatic, taste award-winning local olive oils, and sip wines from some of the world’s oldest vineyards, like those on Korčula and Brač. Each island offers a unique culinary experience, with cozy konobas (traditional taverns) serving up flavors deeply rooted in Mediterranean tradition.
Sailing Through the Adriatic: Spend your days gliding across crystal-clear waters, stopping at picturesque islands along the way. Whether you’re snorkeling in hidden coves, enjoying an afternoon espresso on a sun-drenched terrace, or taking in the sea breeze from the deck of our yacht, life slows down and invites you to fully embrace the moment.
Where We Will Be Staying
Our floating boutique hotel for the week is none other than the MY President, a luxury yacht that offers a unique and intimate way to experience the Croatian coast. With comfortable, stylish cabins, a spacious deck for lounging, and panoramic views of the open sea, every morning starts with the gentle rhythm of the waves and fresh sea air.
Docking in historic harbors like Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik means we’ll be waking up in the heart of each destination, ready to step off and explore. Whether it’s enjoying a sunrise swim, strolling through lively town squares, or unwinding on board with a glass of Dalmatian wine, the yacht is both our home and our gateway to the beauty of Croatia.
