tour
Individual arrival by car to Trogir or by plane to Split airport, which is about 6 km/3.5 mi. away from the harbour of Trogir. After check in on the motor yacht (at around 2:30 pm) the first cruise starts around 3 pm from Trogir to the Island of Vis. On the way we have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim from the boat. The first night is spent on the Island of Vis.
In the morning you will embark on an exciting bike tour on Vis, which will take you past a system of tunnels laid out by Tito and stretching across the entire island to the fortress of St. George, which played an important role in the history of Vis' seafaring. Upon your return on board, your ship weighs anchor and heads towards the island of Hvar, finally stopping in a beautiful bay. Here you take a long swim in the Adriatic Sea and then spend a peaceful night under the stars.
We go on a morning crossing to Hvar Island with its island capital Hvar town. After arrival we take a city tour across the large Renaissance Square which is surrounded by the cathedral and many late gothic palaces. We are able to hike to the Spanish fortress that towers above the town. From here we have a fabulous view onto the city and the surrounding islands. With lunch on board, we cast off from Hvar and anchor in the Pakleni Islands for a lengthy swim stop. In the afternoon we cruise to the city of Stari Grad on the island of Hvar.
Today we cruise to the famous ‘Golden Horn’ Beach in Bol on the island of Brač. Here we can choose between a variety of activities both in the water and on land (not included in the tour price) or just enjoy the summer morning swimming and chilling on deck. During lunch on board, we cruise to the town of Jelsa on the island of Hvar where we can enjoy a bike tour along the beautiful seafront promenade through Vrboska, past the UNESCO Stari Grad Plains. Decide for yourself if you wish to do a longer or shorter version of the cycle tour. Enjoy the evening on board with a captains dinner and celebrate a successful day!
Spend the morning completely on board with a longer crossing to Lovrečina on the island of Brač. On the beach of Lovrečina, all small and big island hoppers are later invited to a varied beach Olympics and extensive bathing fun. In the afternoon you can expect a 1.5 hour hike along the coast to Postira. Here you can later end an eventful day in one of the cozy bars at the port.
While you have breakfast, the ship takes you to Split, where today you have the choice, after a bus transfer, to take part in a rafting tour (not included in the tour price) on the Cetina or to join a walk on the Marjan mountain, which is the most popular local recreation area is the resident of Split. Afterwards there is time for an extensive bathing break with some games on the beach. In the afternoon, take an exciting tour of the UNESCO-protected old town of Split, which was built into the famous palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
In the first half of the day we can cycle on the island of Šolta to Goran, a local beekeeper to participate in an interactive workshop on bees, their purpose, products and the life of a beekeeper. Goran is an expert in capturing the fascination of young and old with the enthusiasm he has for the bees which he keeps. We return to Rogač where the boat waits. Lunch will be enjoyed on board during the last crossing by boat for the week as the captain charters his course back to Trogir. Along the way the anchor is droped for an enjoyable dip in the Adria directly from the boat. In the afternoon we enjoy Trogir by taking a walk through the UNESCO protected old town. Traditionally the last evening before disembarkation is spent cheerfully with guests, crew and guides.
After breakfast disembarkation until 9 AM and individual trip home or extended stay.

Arriving by plane is the fastest, cheapest and most comfortable way to get to Trogir. The nearest airport is Split (SPU). It is only 6 km away from the port in Trogir. To get from Split airport to the port in Trogir, we recommend using a taxi. A taxi ride costs around 25 euros. You can also use the regular bus number 37, which leaves right in front of the airport building towards Trogir and takes about 15 minutes. A bus ticket costs about 2.50 euros per person.
If you cannot find a suitable flight to Split, you have the option of flying to Dubrovnik or Zadar as an alternative, from where we can offer you an individual transfer (on request).
Arrival by car - Parking options in Trogir

Please note: There is no insurance in Croatia that covers your vehicle against theft and burglary in the car parks provided by us. Damage of this kind is only covered by your local comprehensive insurance. If you have booked a car park, ask one of the tour guides on the boats when you arrive. He will lead you to a pilot who will drive ahead of your car and guide you safely to the car park. After you have parked your car, the pilot will take you back to the ship in his car.
